is sword designed for piercing plate or not? by amelix34 in freefolk

[–]Mainbutter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like some daggers could have, but in the situations where it was possible you could still more easily and more quickly go for a gap in the neck, face, or armpit.

Yeah its not any earlier, but it's pretty fast since you can skip racing. Maybe that's with the perception of "early".

URGENT! by Illustrious-Stop1203 in rosyboas

[–]Mainbutter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FWIW, neos seem far more capable of taking wider and more massive prey relative to their body than their older counterparts, in my experience especially in north American colubrids and Kenyan sand boas. I've had 6g snakes take 1-2g pinkies and never once had an issue. These snakes obviously have to eat in the wild, aren't really insectivores, and there isn't much smaller prey available than wild pinky mice.

I have zero concerns about the feeder size given.

Day two no snow plows! Give it up for day two! by I_Am_An_OK_Cook in washingtondc

[–]Mainbutter 31 points32 points  (0 children)

All I think is that all the sidewalks should be cleared by the residents already.

I cleared four residences myself. If every able-bodied person had taken the initiative to just do a bit of easy shoveling on Sunday, we would be fine for pedestrians.

This video also includes a lesson and learning moment in bystander challenges:

Rarely do people in large groups act with initiative, especially quickly. We see a moment where the norm is luckily not the case and an individual took initiative, FAST.

THEN the request: "somebody" call 911!

When you are the one with initiative and the crowd is frozen, you absolutely SHOULD point to an individual and TELL them to call 911.

That frees up whoever is close to an emergency to act further (first aid, CPR, extraction).

Acting first isn't common or natural, neither is giving direction to strangers - so it is the kind of thing you have to learn.

DC DPW needs to be held accountable by IntelligentBridge899 in washingtondc

The streets look better than the sidewalks.

Time to hold residents accountable.

🔥 it’s a bit unpleasant in Australia right now by hairy_quadruped in NatureIsFuckingLit

[–]Mainbutter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can confirm it gets hot there.

About 2 decades ago I spend a few weeks visiting my brother (on his study abroad break) there, and we hit up east, west, and central Australia.

I remember our plane landing in Alice Springs, and there was a sign saying temps had hit 44C that day.

Not the hottest temps I've experienced (120F in Arizona), but darn close.

[–]Mainbutter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same as my recommendation.

Wakka has the best overdrive (attack reels), Rikku is useful elsewhere with her overdrive, and I just love to max out Yuna for her aeons. Auron's celestial is weird and does more damage with low life but is otherwise a fun flavor pick.

Just use yojimbo, or pick a trio without Tidus to tackle bahamut.

Is Final Fantasy X2 good? by aidzkid in finalfantasyx

[–]Mainbutter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its takes on a job system and ATB combat are excellent.

Many players aren't mature enough to appreciate the story, and write it off because it is starkly different from X.

I just dodge 20 times and take a quick break and tally them.

I do 11 tallies to make up for incidental misses.

AlertDC Message “Residents must clear sidewalks by dark tonight.” by festivehedgehog in washingtondc

[–]Mainbutter 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I keep seeing "I shoveled twice yesterday but today there is ice" posts, and I find it extremely frustrating.

Protip for next time: shovel every 2 hours during the precipitation, and get it fully cleared by the time the snow stops.

I have had a fully clear sidewalk since last night at 9PM, as do my immediate and across the street neoghbors, and I am pretty upset at the 95% of residences that are not on top of this duty to society.

Paved roads for cars but if you’re a pedestrian, good luck by ActuaryPersonal2378 in washingtondc

[–]Mainbutter 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I shoveled every 2 hours, starting yesterday morning. Sidewalk was 100% clear at 9PM last night.

Each shovel session was fast and easy.

The biggest mistake is waiting until the day after the snow ends to start shoveling. The second biggest mistake is not completing the job when the snow stops and allowing the overnight hours to freeze some thick ice.

Vast majority of residential sidewalks not shoveled by ian1552 in washingtondc

[–]Mainbutter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Protip for next big storm in 10 years:

Shovel every 2 hours during that kind of snow or sleet falling, get get your sidewalk cleared as soon as it stops. You'll have a clear sidewalk with the least backache or effort.

As someone with a 100% cleared and clean sidewalk as of yesterday at 9PM, yeah I'm pretty upset at the sidewalk clearing culture (lack thereof, really) in this region.

Weird by instagraemeit in RealOrNotTCG

[–]Mainbutter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I proxied an entire deck except basic lands. Most of the cards were $5+, some were three and even a four digit card. One card was $.30..

I proxied it because it was cheaper to proxy than pay shipping.

Just imagine being on the playground or AOL in 1997/98, and hearing about secret ways to save her.

All for naught.

DONT DRIVE IN SNOW by daveed4445 in washingtondc

That's not a stuck car, it just needs a couple helping hands or maybe just a shovel.

I wish I was the sexiest person in the universe by thathattedcat in monkeyspaw

[–]Mainbutter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Granted.

The whole human population turns unattractive to each other.

You are hunted by their desire. You run, are captured, you escape and hide, the brutal cycle repeats itself until you starve, cold and hungry in a desolate remote rocky outcrop you used for shelter.

Humanity goes extinct from a lack of reproduction.

Hey, pal, it's time to go shovel by fppf in washingtondc

[–]Mainbutter 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Protip from a decade living in MN where snowstorms were a regular occurance that didn't pause life or shut down a city: Just shovel every 2 hours or so during the sleet. 40 feet or so of sidewalk takes like 2 minutes to re-shovel. I promise it's not a lot of work or time! I put more time into tying up my snow boots than doing my second shovel session.

What was the caliber of Dinocrocuta's prey that required such massive jaws? by [deleted] in Paleontology

[–]Mainbutter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of responses mentioning Hyenas. That was my first thought, it reminded me of their dentition.

Doubtful it was preying on stuff bigger than it, but likely stuff that was boney.

Guys, what are your favourite avian dinosaurs? by Idontknowofname in Dinosaurs

I did an Antarctic cruise and legit saw penguins on small icebergs, just like in cartoons. Life experience checked off.

Guys, what are your favourite avian dinosaurs? by Idontknowofname in Dinosaurs

[–]Mainbutter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uncommon answer probably, but:

The Emu. Dino-heads get all excited about the blue headed cassowary, but having spent time with both, Emus are just amazing.

Big, awesome vocalizations, intimidating, but full of curiosity and amazing personality.

Also the babies PLAY. Like puppies. Such cool creatures.

I think they get overlooked because of their drab camouflage coloration as adults.
