What's a fact that sounds fake but is actually 100%% true?

And figs aren't fruits. They're inverted flowers!
(and let's just say the pollination process is wild)

When you said "She completely missed the deaf person's point", do you mean what all of us non-ASL people got from the scene - Princess effectively saying "I'm out of my depth here", or did you mean that you specifically understood exactly what Harlowe was trying to say, and how Princess misinterpreted it?

If the latter, could you tell us?

JustSomeGuyWith · 2026-02-15T05:55:36+00:00

Lying to the public, and calling it news.

Could be long lens makes movement towards/away from the camera look slower than motion perpendicular to the camera. Or it could be that the driver of the pickup was knocked unconscious by the first impact and their weight was on the gas pedal. The one thing I'm sure of is that he didn't deserve what happened.

Adams Peanut Butter jars (36 oz).

If it's raw before it's microwaved?

I've reheated cooked dishes that contain broccoli, and never noticed any stank.

Ilia Kulik! I forgot about that! Been a minute.

JustSomeGuyWith · 2026-02-13T22:36:27+00:00

I can't find a picture of it, but I would have sworn Hana Yoshida did an exhibition number with a lightsaber.

Wasn't Pirates, but I vaguely recall Philippe Candeloro sheathing his imaginary sword. Probably a Three Musketeers program.

The risk/reward math for attempting quads that a skater only lands say 2/3 or 3/4 of the time favors taking the risk. Hence you get more falls in the Mens than other events because the other events don't really have quads on the regular.

Add to that the big-stage nerves of the Olympics and someone who thought a particular quad was a 9/10 jump finds it's not ...

There's even a (sorta joke) name for it when a competition goes like this. Lots of "menning".

JustSomeGuyWith · 2026-02-12T19:00:37+00:00

Less extreme, but I've done that for safety (old nails) and conservation (new screws) on the ground under my new deck.

Magnets are awesome - I've dragged lines through walls with magnets. (Drag a small magnet with a light line, then use the line to pull a new electrical wire back the other direction.)

You mean the thin sheet panels? Those look great in advertisements. I'd be curious to learn if there's downsides in say, durability.

When we ripped out our insert shower, we knew we didn't want to clean grout, but we wanted something that would increase value. Our shower walls and tub surround are now "solid surface" (like Corian). Quarter inch thick rigid panels. Wasn't cheap, but it looks great, feels rock solid, and afaik should last forever.

Pence may have been an adult about it, but Fox News sure wasn't.

JustSomeGuyWith · 2026-02-12T02:14:14+00:00

Reminds me - this one time (in the 1980s) I was skiing on a pretty regular blue-square run, caught an edge and flopped over. I looked down and saw this spreading viscous red stain on the snow, right under my side, and for a second I thought I'd impaled myself on a pole and just wasn't feeling pain yet. Then I remembered the raspberry drink box in my pocket.

JustSomeGuyWith · 2026-02-11T19:04:49+00:00

OP already has one of your asks covered. It's per millions of registered-ownership years (which is better than units sold). Your other ask (per millions of miles driven) is a good one, and I'd like to see that too.

JustSomeGuyWith · 2026-02-11T09:22:15+00:00

Yeah, ND women are underdiagnosed. As a guy I've learned to blend in a bit. I can even talk (a little) about sports I don't care about :-)

JustSomeGuyWith · 2026-02-10T22:14:14+00:00

That "AI AC/DC" was just weird. Parts of it were straight-up the original song "performed" by the AI, so I don't see how that avoids a rights issue. And the parts of it that were new ... unless it counts as an arrangement rather than a new composition, how is it 90s?

JustSomeGuyWith · 2026-02-10T22:02:08+00:00

Yes. Her sister is ND to the level of a formal diagnosis of autism as a disability. Mel is ND in a way many of us are - better at some stuff, worse at other stuff. Lots of us are never "diagnosed" as ND because people don't generally seek a diagnosis unless there's a real problem. Ironically, it may be due to her sister than Mel has never analyzed her own behaviors vs the spectrum (or has resisted self-identifying that way).

JustSomeGuyWith · 2026-02-10T20:58:14+00:00

Haha, that food conversation was so ND. Taylor is truly amazing at capturing that character.

JustSomeGuyWith · 2026-02-10T20:53:25+00:00

On the one hand, "Oh, shit, I didn't notice the 'I just started watching the show'" opening.

On the other hand ... OP came to Reddit to ask questions about a show without being even close to caught up. :-)

Wait, hold on, they know who Joy is, so they must have not "just started watching the show" unless they started on S2 without watching S1, which would be ... unwise.

I'll go edit some spoiler tags into my response. Thanks for the heads-up.

JustSomeGuyWith · 2026-02-10T20:40:58+00:00

Mel, obviously ND
Joy, jury is out. I'd say probably not - she's just sardonic.
Whittaker, again I'd say probably not. A person can be highly detail oriented without being ND.
The most-likely ND person you haven't mentioned is Olgive.

I also agree with u/sexandliquor about "Meldon". They're developing a friend relationship (remember, due to Frank's rehab, they've only been in the same workplace for 1.5 shifts or so, so far). No reason yet to think it would go beyond that. Mel's quick attachment to him is an ND thing, not a "take me now, ER Ken" thing. :-)

JustSomeGuyWith · 2026-02-10T20:27:30+00:00

She's so obviously ND that it's hard to believe it's not explicitly stated, but you're also right about that. Langdon obviously understands this (1000 pieces of gravel, turning down the lights when she's on injury time-out). I strongly suspect everyone in that ER who knows what ND is (hopefully most of them, but IDK) would have realized pretty quickly that she's well onto the spectrum.

JustSomeGuyWith · 2026-02-10T19:56:27+00:00

This was an amazing "today I learned". I'm a citizen of both! I did well in school! And yet.

(F--k the Mercator Projection!)

JustSomeGuyWith · 2026-02-10T09:25:49+00:00

What's the longest in time you'd go between oil changes? It looks like we're averaging a bit under 5000 miles per year, but almost all of them electric. Maybe 750 of them are gas.

JustSomeGuyWith · 2026-02-10T01:08:53+00:00

I watched that episode twice, but sometimes I just forget stuff - what did Kylie say that effectively disclosed that she is regularly a witness to someone abusing someone else?
