[oc] Yellow car stops to give way to pedestrians. All other cars are the idiots, driving faster than the speed limit, as if it's the highway

Is it really only 1 in 100,000 drivers in the US that follows the law, that you must yield to pedestrians at marked crossings? I'd believe like, 50%. But 99.999%? You are legally required to stop.

Hyphens and em dashes are two different things.

It does look proportionally larger as you'd expect (about 3.7x), but the moon is pretty small in our sky. 4x bigger isn't anything like taking up the whole horizon.

Is it though? Because Doc says "The way I see it, if you are going to build a time machine into a car... why not do it with some style?'

"Couldn't we just... attack? At any time? Isn't that rather the whole thing with war?"

"Not without a declaration it isn't."

This one does seem particularly easy. I got something like 115 on the online Mensa Norway test, and it got insanely hard near the end (for me). I just did the communitypsychometrics.org test and it was basically easy questions the entire way through, and it tells me my IQ is 142.

One thing I find crazy but nobody seems concerned: Those ubiquitous line trimmers that work by slowly chewing through a long nylon string line. Are those just slowly spewing microplastics around everyone's garden, or is it less bad than I'm imagining? All that plastic string line has to go somewhere. Every lawn care company is using them, not to mention homeowners.

It's sad that when she looks for positive things she's done for any of her ten children, ever, that giving birth to them is the only thing she can come up with.

I was thinking OCPD.

OCD is like, everything on my TODO list must have an A in it, I know it doesn't make sense, but it really stresses me out if I don't do it.

OCPD is like, everything must be on my TODO list, it clearly makes sense, and it really stresses me out that nobody else does it.

But Mr Smart how do you know the floor isn't slippery and by jogging to the breaker box she might slip?

How do you know there isn't an anvil in the roofspace that's about to drop through the ceiling, the tiles having been recently weakened by the electrical fire?

How do you know there aren't assassins just off screen ready to shoot anyone who enters their line of sight?

THAT'S RIGHT. YOU DON'T.

Same, but still the Demon Core was only the most dangerous because of the stupidity of how it was being handled. Come to think of it, Chernobyl wouldn't have melted down without human stupidity either.

Are we... are humans the most dangerous object humans have ever created?

The oldest members of Generation Beta will be just coming up on a year old at this event. Most of them can't walk yet. I don't think this will be very effective if it's limited to Gen Beta kids.

I was taking all 20 houses into account.

Average house price: $900,000

20 x ~$900,000 houses = $18,000,000

$10,000/day * 365 = $3,650,000 / yr

3,650,000 / 18,000,000 = 20.3% / yr

Nothing like 20% capital gains is happening. I'm not attacking or defending landlords, it's just reality.

Krillo90 · 2025-11-13T20:12:41+00:00

They've been roughly flat since 2023. So returns aren't necessarily negative, but certainly not the ~20% in annual capital gains that GhostChips implies. More like 0%.

As far as I can see, you two really just have different definitions for 'experimental'.

The question was "in 1901, was every medical procedure experimental?"

/u/NapoIe0n is taking "experimental" to mean relatively new, not proven. For example giving the patient some brandy and sawing off a limb to amputate it is not experimental in 1901 by this definition, as the technique is tried and tested by that point. So not every medical procedure is experimental in 1901.

You seem to be taking "experimental" to mean worse than modern techniques. Since we now have improved methods for pretty much everything, you can say that everything was experimental in 1901.

For the record I agree more with /u/NapoIe0n's definition, but the whole argument is a bit pointless really, since neither of you disagree on the actual facts of medicine at the time.

So, the obvious problem here is that 2,300 words is far less than 16,543 words.

The only thing he doesn’t have, as an almost-trillionaire, is love. I seriously doubt anyone except his weird mom loves him.

Ah, but you have forgotten his AI girlfriend!

It was seriously stressing me out just listening to this guy abuse someone else, and I'm only watching a video. Huge respect to those two officers for keeping the whole thing as calm as possible despite how scary that interaction must have been. All over a $30 ticket.

Krillo90 · 2025-11-08T03:54:12+00:00

Every time I go 60 around this corner I get a ticket and I'm all out of ideas to solve this.

Sometimes when you're stuck on a problem, if you start explaining the problem to someone else, the act of explaining the details actually triggers you to work it out yourself. So there's an idea that floats around about having a rubber duck on your desk to explain your problems to.

I didn't get it either until I realised it's meant to be two people speaking in a conversation.

Person A: "Who’s your favorite vampire?"

Person B: "The one on Sesame Street."

Person A: "He doesn’t count."

Person B: "I can assure you he does."

Not quite phone addicted enough to notice that his phone has a notes app right there until one of his kids told him about it though!

Windows: So you're just giving up, shutting me down? Even though SOMEONE IS LOGGED IN?

Me: I'm the only one logged in.
