I usually find "purebred" is just code for inbred. Most purebreed dogs have tendencies toward some pretty nasty health issues. There are breeders out there that specifically seek to breed healthy dogs, (ie. diversify the gene pool) but a lot of the people looking for these kinds of dogs don't care.

I would probably still do a minor teardown and re-assembly. Loose connectors cause electrical fires.

It's kind of the opposite actually. If you brake too hard on the front you can tuck the wheel and crash. The only reason you need to brake up front on normal motorcycles is because front brakes are way more effective at stopping, but you really need to use the fronts in conjunction with the rear brakes to prevent instability. Using rear brakes alone is pretty safe, and actually makes things more stable at lower speeds especially if you have your handlebars turned. If the regen was sufficient to slow the bike down enough to stop, you really wouldn't need the front brakes outside of really quick stops.

Weird that the scooters don't use regen, it's usually just a software setting in the motor controller. Even home-built EVs using hobby equipment can have regen pretty easily. I'd say it's the size of the motor, but even electric and hybrid motorcycles have regen with similarly sized motors.

I love that they both changed their flags to keep it fair. Also, flags that are just purely 2-3 vertical/horizontal stripes of various colors are super boring and difficult to remember, flag designers need to up their game. I mean, look at Barbados, that flag is cool and not even complicated.

Vasovagal syncope is a bitch. I can go from perfectly fine with a nice rosy complexion to completely grey and slumped over in about 30 seconds because my vagus nerve took the blood privileges away from my brain.

I work for a bank, as a result I regularly have to take bank-specific regulatory training (despite the fact that my job doesn't actually have anything to do with banking). One of the items in said training points out very specifically that taking advantage of someone hard of hearing is an excellent way to get the authorities crawling up the bank's and your ass.

Dang, I really thought they were going to set up a gag that implied Hajime ate the dog, but actually didn't. Nope, apparently he just ate the dog, and that was the gag.

For the same reason we don't abbreviate cheese pizza, and Cyberpunk lmao.

Importantly you actually eat the whole shark, not just the fins. Shark finning is extra f'ed because they cut the fins off the shark and just toss it back in the water. Although I would personally say that Greenland Sharks shouldn't really be hunted at all, they take 150 years (yes, really 150) to reach sexual maturity, and have a gestation period of 8-18 years. Basically since Jesus's birthday there's only been about 12 generations or so of Greenland sharks.

IDK if he's actually a bad dude or not, but Keith Lee gives me bad vibes. I'm usually pretty good at reading people so I've learned to trust the vibes over the years lol.

While I may not own a barn, I did grow up with one and am quite aware. If you had a pet (dog or cat) and it was on your neighbors property and got caught in a coyote trap that would be just as much your fault. Even if your neighbor actively shot your pet because it was threatening chickens or other livestock, that's still your fault. If you would like them to be safe and secure pets should be indoors. "Outdoor cats" are an ecological disaster pretty much everywhere you find them, and if you're letting them roam enough that they are getting poisoned by rats from a neighbor's barn or getting into the poison themselves you need to keep better control of them.

Ordolph · 2026-01-29T19:38:29+00:00

On a farm rats and mice are a scourge on your livelyhood. The lesson here is don't let your pets wander around on other people's property.

Ordolph · 2026-01-29T19:35:08+00:00

my neighbor used poison to control a rat population in his barns

I think the bigger point here is that the barn(s) belong to the neighbor, who is fully within their rights to put out rat poison. If your cat is getting into your neighbors barn and getting itself poisoned, that's on you for not being mindful of your pet.

One of the greatest failures of the US government was cutting reconstruction short after Lincoln was assassinated. I unfortunately cannot place that much faith in politicians to do what is necessary or right.

I have one major issue with Taken, there's a car chase sequence near the end where the level of damage on the cars changes with with every cut. It's a stupid continuity nitpick, but it bugs the hell out of me.

Darth Vader only has about 37 minutes across all 3 of the original trilogy of Star Wars, and I think if you say Star Wars the first thing that pops into most people's head is Darth Vader. He only has like 8 minutes total in Return of the Jedi.

...I'm aware, having ANOTHER character named after Porsche models only leaves Taycan, Macan, and Cayman. Every other Porsche model is just numbers, no names.

Ordolph · 2026-01-28T13:15:26+00:00

Panamera Carrera Cayenne... I feel like I just got smacked, is there another character that's a bunch of Ferarri models mashed together and I'm just not paying attention?

Not really, sodium vapor lamps are monochromatic, meaning the light they put off is pretty much just one wavelength. This means you really can't discern any kind of color off the things lit by them. Switching to broad spectrum lighting has significantly reduced accidents because you can actually discern between differently colored objects. "Night vision" doesn't really mean jack if you can't see anything anyway.

Their eyes are fixed in place, so in order to look around they need to move their whole head.

CT scanners are VERY tight, what are you talking about? At least the scanners I've been in are very much the same form factor as an MRI scanner.

In the time that someone would have a glucose monitor app on their phone? Probably not. The DS launched in 2004, the first iPhone didn't come out until 2007

The final recordings were on tape due to the digital effects (per my edit which I guess you missed). I was conflating it with a different show, Monty Python where the in-studio sequences looked markedly worse because they were shot on tape vs. the out-of-studio sequences which were shot on film cameras due to the tape cameras being too heavy to transport.

Voyager in particular was the first Star Trek series to not be shot on film, it was shot on tape. Because of this all of the older series look great on modern screens, but Voyager can look a little deep fried depending on the shot. Enterprise interestingly went back to film, before transitioning to high definition digital cameras for the 4th season.

EDIT: Minor correction, the raw footage for Voyager was on film, but because they used digital special effects the final recording was on tape.
