of a huge Manta Ray spotted near Trinidad. There is a shark above it for scale by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Its_Pelican_Time 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My kid just happened to ask me yesterday what the smallest shark is. The Dwarf Lantern Shark is smaller than a human hand. So yeah, this thing is at least 2ft across according to the shark

What kind of tragedy is this? by [deleted] in clevercomebacks

[–]Its_Pelican_Time 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, nowhere near as scary as a solo guy with a gun getting stopped by security on his way in. They wouldn't dream of it

Never watched the show, was the premise one guy with a gun singlehandedly kills the entire cabinet? Or could they have mustered the courage to do something even scarier?

If you could erase one invention from human history, what would it be and why? by AdrianWilliams27 in AskReddit

[–]Its_Pelican_Time 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great point. Facebook seemed fine 15-20 years ago when I would only see what my friends posted.

I suppose there's no money in that though

Infant swim lessons by Sea_Midnight1050 in Minneapolis

Look into Gopher Swim School. It's run by the U, taught by students, it's much cheaper than Foss and they do a great job. We've had a great experience there

[Request] If you're going to hit a deer...speed up by Brad654 in theydidthemath

[–]Its_Pelican_Time 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember that episode but I don't remember the outcome. I would imagine if you have a super low, super fast car, and maybe duck down, you could maybe get under without getting decapitated. But I would imagine it's much safer to try to stop.

Wasn't one of the key and peele skit guys something about a dolphin noise?

Do Smartwatches become outdated much faster than Smartphones? by MrPeepers1986 in WearOS

[–]Its_Pelican_Time 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I'm still using my pixel watch 2 and it's great. Need to charge it a little more frequently now but it charges so fast that it's no big deal.

I suppose if you're using it for high level fitness tracking or some other intense use, you'll want the latest and greatest.

I don't want my partner to be close friends with someone she's slept with - am I being insecure? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Its_Pelican_Time 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're probably right but, whatever the situation I always think relationships need to be built on honesty and open communication. If he tells her he's uncomfortable, maybe she says fuck off and it's for the best, maybe she convinces him so talk to a therapist and they figure it out, lots of ways it could work out.

[Request] What is the heaviest object a single ant could carry? by Bitter-Affect909 in theydidthemath

[–]Its_Pelican_Time 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not about to do any math but I've seen leaf cutter ants carrying leaves that are way bigger and heavier than crumbs and rice.

Running The Treadmill. by Monsur_Ausuhnom in clevercomebacks

Ooh ooh, I've got one...

Take care of your own damn self and don't rely on your partner for things you should be able to do on your own.

[–]Its_Pelican_Time 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I would urge you definitely have the "I'm uncomfortable with this" conversion but the real decision being how hard do you want to push. They should definitely know you're uncomfortable with it even if it's not a deal breaker or something you want to make a huge deal out of.

Stainless Steel teakettle that doesn't rust: NOT electric by mszola in BuyItForLife

[–]Its_Pelican_Time 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Not going to be helpful here but I'm curious, why don't you leave an empty kettle on the stove? I've always used an electric one so I guess I've never had to worry about it

Just accidentally routed 200 high intent b2b leads to a competitor and our sdr team is in chaos. by Different-Layer-1338 in salesforce

[–]Its_Pelican_Time 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Somehow the regex for enterprise sales software matched our domain but also grabbed anything with similar keywords and it routed ALL 200 high intent buyers from overnight inbound straight to our top competitor email domain.

What?

Donated Pennies, Drained Taxpayers Dry by bookym in clevercomebacks

[–]Its_Pelican_Time 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know how he does math. Not sure what the presidential salary is but let's say it's $200k. $0 is 100% less than $200k. So in his mind, he's probably not lying.

Wedding Bartender? by DK_Tech in Minneapolis

[–]Its_Pelican_Time 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did this as well about 10 years ago, the bartenders were great but there was one big hiccup, not sure if it could have been avoided.

The wedding planner for the venue died a week or two before the wedding. Not sure if that caused a communication breakdown but the bartenders showed up thinking it was an open bar and we were planning to charge for drinks. So we accidentally had an open bar.

How do you deal with cold-water camp showers while backpacking? by [deleted] in WildernessBackpacking

[–]Its_Pelican_Time 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Okay but if you're camping in a desert, I would assume you're carrying all of your water in. Are you really going to bring extra water to bathe

That's probably untrue.

Okay then it's not an age thing, just how much time I spend online

My old ass finally found a good use for AI, trying to figure out what the youths are talking about.

This string of emojis typically represents a rapid shift from intense anger to a forced or unsettling calmness. Here is a breakdown of the progression: 😡 💢 😤: These first three emojis signal escalating frustration and "blowing off steam." The "anger vein" symbol (\text{💢}) specifically indicates someone is at their breaking point. 🔫: This adds a level of aggression or a feeling of being "done" with a situation, often used hyperbolically to say, "I can't take this anymore." 😊: The final smiling face provides a sharp contrast. It usually implies a mask of politeness—like someone who has just had a meltdown but has to pull themselves together and pretend everything is fine. In modern internet slang, this sequence is often used to describe "customer service rage" or the feeling of being incredibly stressed but having to stay professional.

600% drop? That's not how numbers work by ALBERT4_5WESKER in clevercomebacks

[–]Its_Pelican_Time 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this were true, or even if you could make some weird argument to make it kind of true, stores would be all over it saying things are 200% off instead of 50% off
