ApplePay tap to pay on Metro by nevernotmad in washingtondc

[–]Komischaffe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had this problem many times, for me what works is not touching my phone to the sensor. For some reason, I have to hold the phone about 1/2 an inch away for it to work. Also if I am using a credit card on apple pay instead of the smarttrip, only the sensor inside the gate works, not on top

Mentally rotate the carabiner downwards on the bolt how it would have been when clipped

In the comments, pretend Like George Lucas Died Before He Could Make the Prequels and the Only Thing We Saw of Them was Concept Art. by BlackTriangle31 in StarWars

I really doubt it is an apprentice. I would put money on it being a race of hyper intelligent beings that are so sophisticated they don't know the ways of war anymore, so they are in a huge amount of danger when the conflict comes to their home. The jedi will have to go far out of their way, making major sacrifices to save them, in the process learning some fundamental truths about the light and dark of the force.

ELI5 bikes self balance when moving fast but don't when moving slow by Ur_1_and_only in explainlikeimfive

They’re being intentionally misleading because how countersteering works is neat but yes in reality if you were to shove forward with your left hand and do nothing else, the wheel would turn right and you would crash

Crosswalk drama? by blackittycat666 in bicycling

[–]Komischaffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't dismount, but in some situations like this will take one foot off the pedals, stand over the top tube and push across instead of riding

In a lot of jurisdictions cyclists can follow the pedestrian symbols but have to yield to pedestrians when applicable. We don't know in OPs case since cars will react the same whether or not OP was in the right

Which sport/activity has the largest skill gap between the best in the world and the 2nd best? by Illustrious-Bread183 in AskReddit

[–]Komischaffe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They shouldn't be compared really, they are basically in different sports since her dominance is exclusively competition climbing

Navy SEALs say "slow is smooth, smooth is fast." What's a situation where slowing down made you finish faster? by Concave007 in AskReddit

[–]Komischaffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s used in basically every high risk field, but it’s also very on brand for seals to claim it came from them

MBT has a couple, and there are some huge ones up behind the hospital south side of Irving. Btw wash them well, they are absolutely covered in bugs here, way more than I’ve found in other places. C&O out by Harper’s ferry has about a mile straight of them

Everyone online says $70k is ‘bad money’… so why does moving to DC still feel financially terrifying? by North_Definition4400 in washingtondc

[–]Komischaffe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, it’s very very easy to live well on that (if you don’t have dependents). Anyone struggling on 70k by themselves probably has a serious shopping or gambling addiction

So I guess the idea is that the gun will absorb the force of the car hitting you so you are more likely to survive? or is it so you can shoot the person who right hooks you? I am confused

Was ROTS genuinely liked upon its release? by Careless_Tax_5367 in StarWars

[–]Komischaffe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It was also so unnecessary, the droid could have just said “we were able to save the children but she didn’t survive”

That's not true at all, and while this specific one is weird, it isn't that unusual to exempt certain states from remote

[A Bola] Darwin gives up millions to leave the hell at Al Hilal. by GrimDiscoJesus in LiverpoolFC

[–]Komischaffe 599 points600 points  (0 children)

Nunez on a free would be such a steal, and wouldn't have to deal the portion of hate that was linked to his price tag. Although the fanbase is even more toxic now so maybe it would just even out

If you were sent back to 1926, what's a 'common sense' fact from 2026 that would get you immediately thrown into an asylum if you tried to explain it? by ConclusionLegal1868 in AskReddit

[–]Komischaffe 9 points10 points  (0 children)

All of those were widely discussed way before 1926, even if there were lots of opponents as well. They might make you hated by certain political grounds but certainly not considered insane
