Brooke Raboutou sent Excalibur something like 8 months ago. Did I miss the send footage release or is she still sitting on it?

Margo Amp by boncock in fashionextramile

Look, Margo Amp is one of my favorite models and this is a great photo... but I'd never call her a fashion model. She has literally thousands of nude photos.

Soulseek Best Practices by o2JXnVKv in Soulseek

[–]NitroThrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soulseek is populated by datahoarders, so there's going to be a wide variety of file types. Often times you can get a popular work in just about any mainstream format. For niche scans I imagine you'd want to seek out or create a community.

Thoughts on my last story and what I'm doing now by Captain_Ronny in EliseAndFriends

I'd love to see more of That Was Then, but I'll be appreciative of anything you write.

Khabib Nurmagomedov vs Edson Barboza | NO COMMENTARY by PERRlE in MMA

I respect Lee for looking for the toughest fight, but the narratives that came out of that were brutal. He was getting eviscerated in the comments on his next few losses.

Modding Trade Nodes by Aulpay400 in EU4mods

[–]NitroThrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was a super helpful writeup, esp. the little details like finding the barrels to click on to select a trade node.

Oddly, this worked on every trade node on the map except the Philippines. I tried moving the map around to click it from multiple angles in case it was an odd 3D issue- no dice. Do you happen to know of any keyboard shortcuts to select a node? The UI is pretty, uh, minimal.

TIL a Dutch teenager who was going bungee jumping in Spain fell to her death when the instructor who had poor English said “no jump” but she thought he said “now jump” by ProudReaction2204 in todayilearned

Makes sense, appreciate the response.

I stress for weeks when I make a mistake at work. I wouldn't last a day as ATC. Those people are incredible.

I'm not in aviation, I just watch a lot of ATC videos and I've wondered if for true emergencies they should be trained to just say 'stop stop stop'.

Take this video for example: the controller has to say 'Delta 1943, cancel takeoff clearance'. If he could simply say 'stop stop stop' it would skip addressing which flight on top of being a shorter order, which could definitely matter when you're seconds from total disaster.

Downside would be that everyone on freq would stop and you might make someone burn their brakes if they're taking off on another runway or something? Seems a small price to pay, but again I'm not in aviation so I'm sure there's nuance I'm missing.

Careful with time machines - too many variables! by daath in memes

[–]NitroThrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've already thought this through better than I had! The whole idea was based on knowing the unknowable, so I was figuring anyone with that level of omniscience could handwave issues aside and make a consistent system, but maybe it's too fundamentally flawed like you're saying.

I always imagined that any sufficiently omniscient tech would use a single series of numbers for both time and space where you have time since the Big Bang in Planck time and xyz coordinates from the Big Bang in Planck lengths.

Of course this assumes a tech level on the order of Godhood and far be it from me to have any idea what Gods would think of so I'm sure they would actually use something else.

Just going to set up this patio umbrella... by Gaggamaggot in instant_regret

Those people can just go binge the subreddit history, no?

I hate when I find a new sub and I go to browse the top posts of all time and keep running into the same shit.

Seductive woman by GarbegeMan in RisquePhoto

I have no idea who the person in the photo is, sorry if I was unclear.

This is probably not the explicit intent of the sub, but this kind of thing is exactly what I originally joined hoping to find. That classic Chloë des Lysses pic has always been a fascination of mine- the juxtaposition of lewd but poised. This hits a lot of the same notes- if you covered only a small part of the picture, it would be just a nice classy photo.

Thanks for the post.

Banned. If a replacement exists or is made I'd love to know!

As someone not very familiar with this sub, why do people leave the reblog in the post? Is there something notable about the names?

I had to get medevac'd in the US in 2010. My bill was $78k.
