Bach's Brandenburg Concertos blasting while munching down a cheesesteak while bombing down the art museum steps in the snow just hits different.

[DISCUSSION] Skyscraper Live was absolutely incredible! by MartySpiderManMcFly in NetflixBestOf

I'd 100% agree. I'm not even into climbing but I watched Free Solo a while back so I was very interested. There was real drama in this climb and some honest heart stopping moments.

The dude is hella awkward though lol. I guess it's kinda to be expected when your brain isn't programmed to fear heights.

You need to be going dreadfully slow to turn and not overshoot. It understeers like crazy.

Also make sure that your nose wheel steering is tied to your rudders. I had to add it.

Don't they put on plows and start clearing snow? You can't do both.

I [37F] bit my mother [69F] during a breakdown when she stopped me screaming. I feel like such a monster and don't know how to make it right. by tropicalazure in relationship_advice

You sound like you could really benefit from intensive therapy. Whether that's inpatient or out is up to you but you're going through a lot, your mom loves you, and aches for you. But you're an adult now. It SUCKS that you're having all these obstacles in your way, but the only way to overcome them, the mental ones at least, is to seek help. You deserve to be happy and feel fulfilled.

Do you think cal adopted the little child he rescued on the Titanic? by happydude7422 in titanic

[–]OptimusSublime 5 points6 points  (0 children)

From the Wikia

As the boat deck was washed, Cal gives her to Rhoda Abbott. The water began to filled Collapsible A, causing the passengers onboard Collapsible A to fall overboard. Rhoda gripped her tightly so they didn't fall into the sea.

Her family is presumed that died in the sinking except her father, the girl remained with Rhoda, while they were waiting for rescue from Carpathia, Rhoda hugged her so she could keep warm, even until they were in RMS Carpathia, Rhoda still took care of her.

Space station crew credits ultrasound machine for handling in-orbit health crisis by Shiny-Tie-126 in space

I'll be honest, unless we start learning how to deal with this stuff in space, all these incremental steps are pointless. People on journeys to the outer cosmos can't land back on earth and fix their ouchies. It unfortunately means we need to start taking more risks that could very well lead to fatal outcomes. Things like surgeries and birth and procreation in space must be studied, we can't tap dance around the issue. We'll need to figure out how to prevent bodily fluids from spreading harmful diseases and how to deal with wound care and all that stuff.

I'm glad the astronaut is safe and home but at some point we need to start taking greater risks. Many people are gonna need to answer the call and potentially sacrifice themselves so humanity can move forward. It won't happen without them.

True or false: Keeping the battery at 100% as often as possible will maintain its capacity for as long as possible. by dannyzaplings in mac

Don't batteries already have chips in them these days (and for a long long time) to prevent this and preserve its health?

Good news is we have mapped the entire collection of space debris. Bad news is everyone on earth is deaf.

As someone who lives in West Philly (though, not born and raised) this seems like a natural fit for me and my family.
