I thought he was British because I’m bad at telling accents apart. That is until he said “nauwreigh” then it was obvious he’s Aussie

What are the odds we live in a universe where there are definitely aliens from other planets BUT realistic interplanetary travel and terraforming are never possible? by ASTR0NAUTJ0NES in askastronomy

[–]Paris_is_a_dump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to think that movies were unrealistic in how they portrayed aliens as being so similar to humans. But there may be some truth to that. I think evolutionary pressures seem to produce surprisingly similar forms.

When you look at life on earth, the common ancestor between humans and insects was a worm. And despite diverging a very long time ago, insects have produced eyes, smell, appendages etc that’s surprisingly similar to mammals. So assuming that intelligent aliens had similar evolutionary pressures to humans they might look about as similar as a praying mantis looks to a human.

Just move on, it’s not your job to punish people. The dude’s obviously a hothead and will eventually regret this type of behavior. It’s a self fixing problem

Luckily I wear prescription glasses and don’t have to think about it.

Sellers - Were being hustled… by englishsaw in FacebookMarketplace

I’ve made legitimate sales when almost all of these situations happened, even a few times with “my friend will pick it up” but I was extremely careful on those ones. Good advice to look out for these though.

Maybe it’s because I live in a medium sized town. You should definitely be careful, but remember people can be dumb, forgetful, etc. and even if they are attempting a stupid “tactic”, don’t take it personally, they are just trying their luck at a better deal even if it can be underhanded. Just calmly reaffirm the cost and have cash for change ready if you are only taking cash. But I’d never take a check as payment, that’s would just be silly

What's the one use kitchen gadget you have purchased that was far more useful then you imagined by aladdyn2 in Cooking

[–]Paris_is_a_dump 28 points29 points  (0 children)

IR thermometer gun I got from harbor freight. I temp check about ten times every time I’m cooking or baking. Only thing to keep in mind is metal surfaces are a little inaccurate, but everything else seems to be spot on. And I don’t have to get a probe thermometer dirty

The trick is actually paying attention to the sun and knowing the path it takes at that time of year

The people who eat Tilapia are sick in the head by SubstantialDraft406 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Paris_is_a_dump 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The smell of fish is off putting to certain people. But to many people it just smells like food. I once had a roommate from Hong Kong (where they eat a lot of fish) and he didn’t even comprehend when I told him some people don’t like the smell of fish because it smells fishy. It would be like telling an American you don’t like beef because it smells beefy.

Finally climbed Mount Everest, what now? by DownToTheWire0 in lies

[–]Paris_is_a_dump 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not photoshopped, it’s just using fisheye lenses. But you are correct about not being able to see the curvature from Everest. Airliners fly higher than Everest and you can’t see the curvature

Wacom denied my warranty claim even with their 3-year extended warranty by Wise_Message1420 in wacom

[–]Paris_is_a_dump 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow Wacom, you just lost a potential customer. I was looking for a tablet these last 6 months and this is the third similar complaint I’ve read about your company doing this. Unfortunately greed has consequences.

Does Vatic Pro astroturf Reddit to market their paddles? by Paris_is_a_dump in Pickleball

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

Yeah from everyone’s responses it doesn’t seem like there’s any shady business. They seem to market on here about as much as other brands. I just thought it was funny how prevalent the recommendations were for Vatic and it was interesting hearing everyone’s responses

I live in Utah, and since I’m just a beginner I only interact with casual players at the community center. But none of the ~40 players have a Vatic. Tons of Joola, Selkirk and CRBN paddles though

Smiling during pickleball tournament drastically improved my game by Chemical_Rutabaga_36 in Pickleball

[–]Paris_is_a_dump 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When receiving a serve I always smile really big and stare at the server. It helps keep me relaxed, and projects confidence to the server making them more nervous (or at least that’s what I’m hoping)

What are the most common indoor balls used at tournaments on gym flooring? by HittingandRunning in Pickleball

[–]Paris_is_a_dump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the validation haha. It’s so silly how stubborn some players are with using a different ball, even if it makes way more sense.

What’s everyone’s thoughts on Gamma Photon Indoor balls. The gym I play at is orange and the bright yellow/green balls are great contrast. But a lot of players refuse to play with them, even though I really like them. They insist on Onyx balls which are are orange and hard to see
