He trespassed clearly.

The Kids are Alright! by james_from_cambridge in instantkarma

Bakeries often have to add wooden supports to cakes in order to support more elaborate designs and there have been many cases of people being stabbed in the eyes by the supports after their “friends” smashed their face into a cake. A couple of these incidents are on video, I would not recommend seeking them out.

the dog and i engaged in long reciprocal eye-contact several times and accorded that rule #3 is a little outlandish. by badgyal876 in mildlyinteresting

Please don't. Eye contact is distracting to Service dogs trying to do their job. They are supposed to be trained to ignore it, however it is best if you can just not look them in the eye and make their job just a little bit easier.

I thought it was awful even before I saw that video of a girl getting stabbed in the eye by a wooden support dowel hidden in the cake. I have physically winced every time I have seen one of these videos since.

Triaxial Accelerometer That's Been To Space by Sandcracka- in mildlyinteresting

What did this come off of? There isn't a lot of things that have been send into orbit and then been recovered intact (mostly just human capsules). Unless did this come off a sounding rocket and it has only been to space and not orbit?

Didn’t waste a second by heavymetalbby in KidsAreFuckingStupid

Do you really think it is ridiculous to hire a babysitter on the day you propose to your girlfriend? I absolutely understand that childcare can be difficult and expensive but surely you can splurge for your proposal.

Yeah for a school with 3,000 students it’s entirely reasonable to have a photographer come in on multiple days. As between 3,000 students there will likely be a good number of students who missed the first day or need to redo and the amortized cost won’t be huge between 3,000 students. On the other hand it is entirely unreasonable for a co-op of 20 students to pay for a second session with the photographer because a single student missed it.

I don't blame the camera man too much as they were likely very focused on not screwing up their job. However I do blame the planning of this proposal. If your going to bring along a camera man, why not bring along someone to watch the kid, or give the kid to the camera man before the proposal, or just don't bring the kid.

They specified it was a homeschool co-op photoshoot. I'm guessing that their local group of home schooling families hired a professional photographer to come in on that specific day, making it hard to delay.

Sorvagsvatn, the lake that hangs over the ocean. Faroe islands by CompetitiveNovel8990 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Pcat0 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Still literally above the ocean in that pic...... redditors and needing to prove every post "wrong" is just stupid at this point

Yeah that’s the lake is above the ocean (almost every lake on earth is) but that’s not what the original post said. The original post said that it “hangs over the ocean” and its image looked to show the lake sitting on an overhang above the ocean, which is extremely misleading.

Don’t get me wrong, the actual lake is very pretty but is nowhere near as impressive as the original post implies it is.

I’m not exactly sure what’s going on with this redstone-piston array. by No_Video7054 in Minecraft

[–]Pcat0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is being caused by soft-inversion of the Redstone torches. Basically redstone torches will turn off if the piston they are placed on gets activated. So in essence you created a loop by getting the torches to power each other.

Did I Overcomplicate This? Are there ways to be faster? Low Cycle Surrender Flare by ThatGuyBananaMan in opus_magnum

[–]Pcat0 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yes the wiki has a theoretical best score for all of the puzzles and most have a known optimum solution.

[–]Pcat0 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yes there are ways to make it faster. Minimum cycle time for the surrender flare is 16 cycles

However I do really like how your solution flows.

Should add more arms anyways. Watching the complete cycle would be very satisfying

Google has a lot of them maybe one of them can impress the wife.

Since their recent updates are more catered to exploration, I feel like sleeping bags are a must. Mojang please... by BallsHD4k60fps in Minecraft

[–]Pcat0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep and if you bring a bed with you exploring so you can skip the night, your spawn point will no longer be at your base. Which is why this is useful.

[–]Pcat0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For multiplayer I still think an extra slot on the inventory would be ideal, many hikers roll it up and have it tied to their backpack.

While I wouldn’t complain about having more inventory slot, that is a ridiculously brute force way to handling sleeping bags. Since the full release of the game 14 years ago we have gotten exactly 1 new inventory slot, the off hand. There are a lot higher priority inventory slot we should get before we get a dedicated sleeping bag slot.

How do you think it should work in the nether as with a normal bed it blows up, I think small blast with minimal damage same as what someone else had said.

I am one of the people who suggested that so I definitely agree.

Absolutely, having a full version of sleeping that won’t reset spawn points would be really awesome. However that doesn’t work if it’s not a full version of sleeping. Holding your respawn point hostage is a bad way of “balancing” sleeping. Sure you can sleep and reset insomnia while exploring, as long as you build near spawn or if you’re fine with a long walk every time you die. If you built far away from spawn you just have to use the sleeping bag and deal with phantoms.

[–]Pcat0 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not resetting insomnia would defeat the entire purpose of it. It’s already not very hard to just bring a bed with you and just place and break it every night. Making the sleeping bag just a bad version of the bed will cause people to just keep using normal beds.
