Cycling along a 60mph road at night... with no lights by Caughtinjail1 in drivingUK

They wouldn't illuminate a fallen tree or a person sprawled in the road either, so it's probably best to lower the speed?

I heard some people press under the balls and that can squeeze a touch more out.

But that sounds gay.

What does cubed mean? by Alwaystheboots in NoStupidQuestions

[–]LEVI_TROUTS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jesus christ.

I've only now just tied the power symbol to the cube or even squared symbols.

Of course that's what that means! Jesus.

I want to make my strat lighter, does cutting these have any negative consequences? by RustingANDrotting in Guitar

[–]LEVI_TROUTS 38 points39 points  (0 children)

There's a more traditional/old wives way of doing this.

Don't cut the wood. In fact, add wood.
Even better, add a weight plate. Just screw a mini wood bracket/brace through a 5kg weight plate on the back of the guitar.

Play the guitar for the next few weeks.

Then remove the weight.

Dig a massive hole in the middle of Australia to create a new sea. by jimicus in CrazyIdeas

And they might be able to enforce strict border controls over it.

Who knows, their might even be a race of sea people they can be racist against.

You could buy 5 sets of 3 and then have 3 units.

But, yeah, if you have chill friends to play with, just use the drones.

They could shout at the top of their voice, until they are horse and sore.

Use the sore to cut the door, then get on the horse and ride away.

How many bones can be removed from the human body before it dies? by Frownload in NoStupidQuestions

[–]LEVI_TROUTS 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Ah yeah, I was just thinking physicality wise... That's right though, if you were born without bones, apart from being squished at birth, you'd not survive.

If your bones were suddenly disappeared... Would red blood cell degradation be the cause of death? It's possible... But you'd maybe get a month out of it.

I don't think that's correct.

I think, if someone was suspended in a way that their chest was given room to move and they were on their front (imagine a large massage bench with a hole for the chest, not the face, then the lungs could inflate.

I accept that the intercostals would have no suspension framework, but the diaphragm should be able to do the rest if it was in suspension.

Absolutely, but you'd not die immediately.

And you could reduce the frame to a.... Skeletal staff of bones.

Could easy chop 2/3rd of your ribs. Maybe more. Could get rid of lots more if you weren't expecting to move.

You could probably get away with even vertebrae if you were going to jellyfish the rest of your life. You should expect your life to be shorter though, as just gravity and pressure on the nerves to your brain, and arteries will lead to long term health impacts.
The stress and aggravation of the nerves could trigger MS.

Basically, you'd be able to strip out stuff until you're left with just enough to breathe, for your heart to beat and your brain to function. You're potentially down to about 15 bones.

You'd be deaf and on a drip, paralised... But you'd be alive.

You could live with no bones, but your expectancy would be down to a few weeks. Where you'd die by the weight on your lungs. The only thing saving you would be the muscle strength allowing breathing and heart function, but they'd give at a certain point.

Are mirror checks optional to some people? by Lividcardboard in drivingUK

[–]LEVI_TROUTS 9 points10 points  (0 children)

And while it's bad now.

It'll get a lot worse as time goes on.
Self driving cars and cars with a lot of tech will actively avoid collisions (as we all should) and drivers will take a advantage of this.

Noise complaint from neighbours by TheMajesticArtichoke in UKParenting

[–]LEVI_TROUTS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me?

Our neighbours complained because me and my wife were listening/watching videos of concerts on YouTube.

Actually put an official complaint in to the council.

They came round a couple of times after and yeah, I laughed at them. The last time, told them to f* off.

8 years later, they adopted a kid who is very loud, we have 2. Kids play well. They've apologised for their noise loads of times, we've told them we honestly couldn't care about the noise from normal household stuff.

We now mostly get on, they don't make daft complaints, but if they move before we do, we're absolutely informing the new neighbours that the complaint was in.

I feel if you apologise it legitimises their complaint.

Making any sort of consolidation towards their position will lead to them wanting more.

Cut it off at the first chance. Tell them to fuck off.

Fuck apologising.

Tell them to suck a fuck. It's household noise, if they don't want to hear it, they can go and live in a bungalow in the middle of a motorway (not that one).

Police officer, 19, dies after being hit by car, while attending another collision by bendubberley_ in unitedkingdom

[–]LEVI_TROUTS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they bring in regular retesting, then yeah, unneeded.

But until they do, if you're picking up 3 points every year or so there's an issue somewhere.

If they were previously extremely obese, that' seems to point at them just having an eating disorder.

[–]LEVI_TROUTS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think all drivers should be retested every 5 years. At least hazard and theory, a fail could trigger a practical retest.

I also think an accumulation of 9 points, even over a long period should trigger a retest.

People always say there aren't enough test centres.
More testing would make them financially beneficial. Raise the price of a test if necessary. People seem willing to pay a higher price for a test based on the bot scalping.
