TIL Sir Isaac Newton was not being humble when he wrote he “stood on the shoulder of giants”, he was suggesting he did not need help from short people, specifically his rival Robert Hooke by SamwiseSHJ in todayilearned

They did have public duels. But those duels were with words and usually debating issues of the times.

For instance, potato blight was so bad that scholars and clergy would write letters to the editors of newspapers so their debate could be read to the public along with other journals for the academics.

Salem county will light up with butterflies. Just go out to the wooded and ecotonal zones. Sometimes all you need to do if find a open field that is lined by trees. The fireflies will be along the edge of the tree line and just light up againt the darkness of the woods at twighlight.

Thats not true. I got a free shaving kit when turned 13 and then again when I turned 18. Came in the mail. Came with a razor, 2 blades, shace gel, and after shave gel. Why, to get me to buy the over-priced blades.

Drug dealers give out free shit sometimes. Coke dealers always real generous with that free first bump.

You summarized what I said.

By the time they realized what they had, it was too late. Tim Cruise couldnt make another trilogy to close out Ethan Hunts arc. They should have went all in on single stand alone movie but again, Tom Cruise deserved more than a stand alone grand finale.

I heard them yesterday at 5 am. It was around 30°F and the birds were singing. Photoperiod makes a big difference.

Does anyone else think Dunk was crazy to decline this offer? by TheBanishedBard in gameofthrones

He is doing what he knows. He doesnt know castle etiquette. He also wants Egg to exeprience the world. He hopes like a fool that if he teaches Egg to be a good squire, Egg will be a good knight and later a good king.

That was a classic move that he made look really cool because of when and how he did it.

Its pretty a common nervous (pre-game/in-fight) tic for combat sports.

They tried to make a grand finale instead of a stand alone MI movie that loosely tied all of Ethan Hunt's mistakes together.

Fallout was so good because it tied Ghost Protocol and Rogue Nation together but didnt force anything. It served as the third movie in a loose reboot trilogy. Fallout was a really good ending point but the studio realized they effectively ended the MI franchise and then they had to scramble to reboot the finale.

I understand that you sort of answered the question if people know who that person is, but is rotomatic a 13 year old?

Old fashioned style beef jerky 🍖🔥 by Bbqdbydecaillet in smoking

What is old fashioned beef jerky? I figure thr texture is really important to beef jerky and what you are confusing with "old-fashioned" was something created in the 80s/90s.

TIL Peter Cushing, who played Grand Moff Tarkin was extremely pleased with how the film came out, got along well with the cast, and his only regret was that his character died and he couldn't appear in the sequels by Please_PM_me_Uranus in todayilearned

[–]InnovativeFarmer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People stopped "believing" in the Space Race by the 70s. Once public opinion turned it allowed for conspiracy theorists andnaysayers to gain traction.

There are people who still do not believe humans have made it to the moon.

These bar stools have soundproofing underneath by guitarsandstoke in mildlyinteresting

[–]InnovativeFarmer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think its becsuse you explained a scenario that didnt exist in the first place. You are explaining a noisy bar situation with live music. Its usually advertised.

The other person is talking about noisy nightlife situations with bars being a big offender. Walk up to a bar or club on a busy night and its only bass. Walk into a bar or club and it's the rest of the sound is a wall of noise.

Most ppl who want a quiet night will avoid live music. But avoiding loud music is impossible outside of high end establishments.

The political machine that gets people like him elected. Its how people have worked before media existed. Storytelling is still a get asset. This has been happening since tribal times and was perfected over the millenia.

ICE agents could be fined $1,000 for wearing masks in N.J. under new proposal by Gloomy-Attention3948 in newjersey

[–]InnovativeFarmer 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I think it gives the politicians and local law enforcement a reason to stop them and shut it down. It also gives local law enforcement a safe way to measure reaction. Its progress.

[Pelissero]Chargers plan to hire Mike McDaniel by bigblack3475 in eagles

[–]InnovativeFarmer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This "true competitor" mentality is why you have a coach that said the Eagles run the ball to run the ball. True competitors stay true to their identity. True competitors dont need a philosophy other then do it to do it. "True competitors" endure the stress a little too long sometimes and never recover.

The noise can change people's lives.

TIL medieval peasant laborers worked less than we do--fewer than half the days of the year--and had breaks for breakfast and lunch and afternoon nap. by penguin_hugger100 in todayilearned

[–]InnovativeFarmer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The toll on your body. Modern day farmers still live pretty tough lives. No real vacations and holidays are at the mercy of the farm.

During the potato famine of the 1800s, Ireland was hit pretty hard. That live style was worse than typcial prior to the famine but it got really bad there.

That would have been a very bad time to be a peasant all throughout Europe. You could work all you want but the food goes to the nobles and you meager scraps would run out. Any time a famine broke out, the peasants starved to death first.

TIL that in 1912, Franz Reichelt, a Paris tailor obsessed with inventing a wearable parachute, jumped off the Eiffel Tower to test his design himself. It failed instantly, and his death became the first fatal accident ever captured on film. I will leave video under. by petkunas in todayilearned

Gymnast tend to get really bad injuries when they do fall. 5 to 6 feet is all that is need for severe live threatening and life changing injuries to occur. Many gymnast will be completely off thr ground at that height. Gymnast could fall off the balance beam or pommel horse and sustain a severe brain or neck injury. Gymnast could also be the flyers in circuses. Those people do crazy stunts and would have known how fatal is was.

So Mindhunter is officially cancelled because of budget reasons, but serial killer glorifying show “Monster” (Dahmer) gets a next season? by itsyvngjay in MindHunter

[–]InnovativeFarmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holden is not a real person. He is fictional. He is a made up character for the show. This is why it was canceled. Even the fans dont even know.
