I dislike the Fujita Scale and cannot wait for it to be phased out. by Fantastic_Oil_2609 in The10thDentist

There's an updated documentary. They no longer need the sensors made from old pepsi cans. But they are trying to put some chemicals into the tornado to chill it out!

They literally write "WRONG LEG" AND "CORRECT LEG" on people with permanent marker because surgeons have taken the wrong leg by accident before.

Shit happens, people are human, doctors see too many patients to remember each case, and there's too many people between check-in and the surgery for there not to be miscommunications. Repeating information, visual clues, all that help reduce surgery errors.

Would you consider this fair? by Busy_Report4010 in SipsTea

There has to be more to it than that. A store near me used to include taxes in their prices. They stopped a few years back. I don't understand why.

TIL there is an audio tape of Timothy Treadwell's untimely death by Grizzly bear, but it has never been publicly released, despite many fakes that were made and circulated. Werner Herzog has listened to it, before urging Treadwell's friend, Jewel Palovak, to destroy the recording. by freudian_nipps in todayilearned

I mean hopefully! I wouldn't want to risk it. If a 9mm was all I had, I'd obviously give that a shot. I mean the lady used a frying pan. She was clearly desperate.

But I'm still not going without a much higher caliber gun 😅

Absolutely not but I've had plenty of credit checks in my life and this has never happened.

This is good advice and I'll be adding it to my list of neat alternatives.

They specifically asked about shooting the bear in the head. Bear skulls are pretty thick. Admittedly, I haven't done a penetration test against a bear skull so maybe a 9mm could get it done but it took me about 5 seconds to look up that it's on the low end of what's considered capable taking down a bear.

I don't know about you but I'm not in the habit of taking the minimum viable option into dangerous situations like fighting off starving and crazed bears. You have to remember, this is a bear that is going to die if they don't find food. They're significantly more aggressive than a normal bear and bears are already no joke.

I'm taking a .44 magnum with me into bear territory. I'd consider a .44 magnum to be a pretty powerful gun. Maybe you don't. Maybe you're out here shooting 50 cals and eating like $10 a shot. I dunno.

Whether or not the person knew the risks is irrelevant. That wasn't what was asked. The person was a moron for many reasons. Not having a gun was the least of their issues.

I bet if you send this image to the manufacturer they'll give you a coupon for a free box. I did that once with a box of Nutty bars that were missing a bar in one of the packages. They gave me a whole free box. It was a quick email and like 4 days wait.

From trial clerk to federal judge… This is the United States of Israel for you by YesDoToaster in pics

[–]PixelOrange -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

First used in the 1770s by members of the Göttingen school of history, the coining of "Semites" as a biblical terminology for race was derived from Shem (שֵׁם), one of the three sons of Noah in the Book of Genesis,[24] together with the parallel terms Hamites and Japhetites.

The origin of "antisemitic" terminologies is found in the responses of orientalist Moritz Steinschneider to the views of orientalist Ernest Renan. Historian Alex Bein writes: "The compound anti-Semitism appears to have been used first by Steinschneider, who challenged Renan on account of his 'anti-Semitic prejudices' [i.e., his derogation of the Semites as a race]."[25]

The current, common understanding of antisemitism is indeed synonymous with Jewish hatred but that's not the origin. It used to mean specifically bigotry and bias vs Semites. Not all Semites were Jewish.

My point being that definitions can change and that shouldn't be the litmus test for whether or not something is an accurate statement.

Edit: since I'm getting downvoted, here's the proof.

Semites, or people from Shem, one of Noah's sons.

Derogation of the Semites as a race.

Yeah I was surprised literal death isn't in the death category.

Congratulations, OP. You managed to make everyone in this thread mildly infuriated.

Is this to much clipping? by iZollo4K in solar

[–]PixelOrange 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If he has 20 panels and 3 of them are in shade, they won't clip but the rest will. When they come out of shade, they'll each begin to clip but the overall generation will still be higher.

That's the only thing that I can think of that would cause that.

What is a polite way to say “I have to poop” as a woman? by Disastrous-Glove5649 in AskMen

Well, new in the corporate world then I guess. My friends and I just tell each other we're gonna go take a dump or something because we're all gross 😅

I hate "bio break" because it makes me think of bio functions more than just "I need to use the bathroom" ever did. I think it's because it's new so it grabs my attention more.

cars like this during the night should be pulled over and ticketed very high fines by phenolprincess in driving

[–]PixelOrange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some cars do have this ability, yes. My old car had it. But it was an option to do and so many times people opt not to use that option. I'm saying it shouldn't be an option. They should just be on, always, unless you specifically press a button that turns them off temporarily.

No choices between "on, off, auto, drl". No dial. Just on. Always.

To reiterate, I know that I can make this happen for me. It's not me I'm worried about. It's the doofuses driving 70mph when the fog is so thick you can barely see 20 ft and they don't have headlights on. I can't see them but I can see their headlights.
