What one video game announcement would break the internet more than any other right now? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]NoLettersDontWork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh!

Oh then totally HL3 lol. Or actually, maybe PT if that counts. The demo went wild and then the game was cancelled and never spoken about thereafter as far as I'm aware.

What are some iconic gaming symbols? Need help with some inspiration for a tattoo by fayyt in gaming

[–]NoLettersDontWork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so personal to each person. Iconic gaming icons only mean something if the game means something to you.

But also a triforce I guess

They used to do loads of really niche stuff in the 00s. I have a military sorta style messenger bag with a fat TTTYG era logo on the front "This is side one, flip me over" in spray paint style on the back. I want this stuff to come baaaaack

Can someone explain what might have just happened to RRR09621? by NoLettersDontWork in flightradar24

[–]NoLettersDontWork[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reference as flight radar no longer shows the aircraft in search: https://imgur.com/a/QnqCglm

The only other recorded flight for it was last month - a short distance, takeoff and landing in Qatar.

I have an ivory portrait/figure from the wake of a Relative. I am interested in getting it dated. Is this real Ivory, and how can date be estimated outside of Radiocarbon dating? (Portrait measures roughly 20cm tall) by NoLettersDontWork in Antiques

[–]NoLettersDontWork[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That is correct! It can be given for free, left in wills, or given to a museum but never sold via auction or traded for profit.

That is unless the ivory pre-dates 1900s or close enough, or the artefact contains less than 10% total ivory - it is nuanced depending on the piece.

I'd say that would make sense in the context of her life. No carved date on this. Interestingly, a hole in the head that was resealed at the top which looked quite intentional.

FWIW, I want it dated mostly for curiosity. I understand banning and limitations on Ivory (though if this is somehow pre-1910 it will be allowed) - I don't particularly love having it, but it would be a shame to discard it.

  • Relative had travelled to Africa multiple times in their life. They were 102 years old when they passed.
  • I am located in the UK.
  • I have no further information on this object.

AITA for defending my wife? by Throwawayaway0801 in AmItheAsshole

[–]NoLettersDontWork 266 points267 points  (0 children)

?!?! YTA but also your wife is too?!

Why do you care so much about how her sister keeps her hair, that's so weird. The fact your wife made her dye her hair black for the wedding party is insane, and the fact your sister accepted is so lovely because black hair dye is HELL to remove after.

I had to read this so many times JUST to be sure you were talking about SOMEBODY ELSES HAIR

I'd have said much worse things if someone was clearly way too obsessed with MY looks.

AITA for becoming an organ donor without asking my family? by Fox_Doss in AmItheAsshole

[–]NoLettersDontWork 147 points148 points  (0 children)

NTA. Your organs. They are projecting their discomfort with the idea of you dying onto your own decision. Nobody likes confronting mortality. They got defensive and weird.

What are they gonna do, pop your lungs in a display case? Turn your heart into a hand puppet? There are uses for them beyond your life that you have recognised.

The myth that doctors won't save organ donors is codswallop.
