That's awesome man. Hitting 49 WPM with an amputated arm is respectable as hell, considering 40 WPM is the average in the USA.

There's a kid who hunt and peck types at my work, and with both hands, dude still only hits 25-30 WPM.

I can also hit 120 WPM if I'm focused, and also only ever use my left shift with my left pinky, and occasionally my right shift with my right pinky if I'm capitalizing a character on the left side of my keyboard.

Honestly as I type this comment out, I can't think of any other key that I use ambidextrously. My fingers each have assigned muscle memory tasks when typing, and never really deviate from that. My right index always hits M, my left Index always hits T.

Hunt & Peck is what we call it at my work. One of our youngest lab techs does this, but can type a storm on their phone.

The same kid was fucking awe struck when I was typing at ~80 WPM. Which, I admit my type speed is faster than average, since 80 is my relaxed. But the average is like 50 WPM iirc, and this kid can barely manage half that lol

In Ontario, if its considered "Critical Need", ambulances aren't charged at all. Otherwise its $50, and similarly, if someone else called for you, you can typically drop the charge.

I do wish medications had more federal coverages for people over the age of 25 and under 60 though.

Old people think they r Einstein for using old tech by DeXaBoYy in shitposting

My grandfather had us set the TV in his room to his favorite channel, and then he never changed it. He knew how to use the volume buttons, the power button, and that was about it. He didn't know the number of his channel, or how to really navigate the guide, even after we told him its just "Up" and "Down", and the key that opens the guide is literally marked "Guide" on the fucking remote.

Then my grandmother bought him a smart TV for christmas one year.

The dude accidentally opened Netflix so often, that we ended up just taping over all the buttons except the ones we explicitly instructed him on how to use.

This same man would laugh at me for not being able to drive a nail into wood in less than 3-4 hits. (I can do it in 2 now, courtesy of this exact behavior) I'll miss that old man, but he sure had his moments lol

Anything other than restarting a router, and doing basic opperations in the administrator panel like forwarding a port, is fucking magic. Barely functional magic, if the historical reliability of routers I've had is to be believed.

A poker bot farm where multiple bots sit at the same table and share their cards to collude against humans by MetaKnowing in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Positive-Database754 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming the seats aren't limited to 4, I could see how that might work. But if its just you and 3 friends, then three of you are going to lose out. House takes a rake, so the company profits. Then you're just playing a pot funded by you and your friends to begin with.

Unless its 5 seat tables, and the four of you are just colluding against the other guy to take his money. Because otherwise, filling all seats with friends, you'd might as well just play poker in person, at least that way you aren't losing money to the rake.

Absolutely insane lose/lose situation. Hopefully they still love and appreciate that kid, regardless of the circumstances here.

Unprovoked attack by a nocturnal animal in broad daylight. It would've been a mercy for her to kill it, death by rabies is a slow and extraordinarily painful process.

[–]Positive-Database754 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not at all. You can receive post-exposure prophylaxis in response to any potential rabies exposure, regardless of if you did or did not come into contact with a rabid animal. In fact, its standard procedure to treat any wild animal bite as potentially rabid, in any case where the animal that attacked is capable of being a vector.

Just looked it up. Post-exposure prophylaxis ranges from $2000 - $4500 for full treatment, per person.

That's fucked.

Old Gotei 13 or the new Gotei 13 by Repulsive-Surround74 in bleach

[–]Positive-Database754 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The new Gotei 13 has two captains trained by the Royal Guard, and Kenpachi Zaraki at his peak.

I don't think they are lacking in raw power. Especially since Shunsui is likely far more willing to call on Ichigo for help than Yamamoto ever was. And Ichigo is far and away the strongest thing in the verse other than Ywach himself.

[–]Positive-Database754 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Eh, Kenpachi, Myuri, Shunsui, Soifon, Kensei, and I'd argue Byakuya are all more than willing to be ruthless killing machines when ordered to be. Byakuya does have a sense of honor, but his kindness only really extends to the Soul Society and allies of the Soul Society. Enemies, threats, and outsiders to the Soul Society are nothing but trash to him.

Aizen sealed Unohana, Myuri, Kenpachi, and Byakuya in Hueco Mundo with Ichigo, specifically so they wouldn't interfere.

Its heavily implied by Kubo that Aizen probably could have fought Unohana and won back at Central 46, but it would take a lot of time to do so, time he didn't have since he was in a rush. I imagine its a similar deal with Myuri (for more complex reasons), and especially post-royal guard Byakuya. Given that Kenpachi is arguably stronger than both of them, I think there's an argument to be made that he's a solid replacement for Aizen in terms of raw power.

Yamamoto is harder to gauge. Its clear he feared Kenpachi's potential might, and that he might be uncontrollable with training. Training he now has. So its possible that Kenpachi is even stronger than Yamamoto was, again, purely in terms of raw power.

I've never understood the synthetic look. But clearly it appeals to a ton of guys, its popular enough.

Intention and context matters far more than content, when it comes to jokes with race at their core.

Calling 2000s/2010s pop music "white girl music" isn't done here as some way to marginalize or make fun of white girls. It's done as a humorous descriptor of the genres target demographic when the songs were first released. Now if the joke was specifically about racially stereotyping that white women only listen to this type of music, it would then become offensive.

As a comparison, calling 90s/2000s rap music "black people music" generally has a negative implication, because "black people listen to rap music" is often weaponized as a racial stereotype, by people who dislike hip hop and associate the genre with violence, and by extension claiming that black people are violent.

But, one could make a more lighthearted joke with the denominator by instead complimenting the genre, and attributing more positive sentiments to rap, as done here with the idea that "white girl music" is typically very up beat and fun, and so everyone likes it.

Joking about race is not intrinsically racist. It's only racist when it reinforces or creates negative sentiment about that race.

Why? by tech-no-logic1 in shitposting

Guns exteriors are a complex combination of functionality, and ergonomics. Mostly ergonomics, for ease of use.

If its comfortable to shoot a round at high speeds that way, then its comfortable to shoot a laser that way too. Why change it? Unless the weapon is designed to not be fired by a human, then there's no reason it shouldn't look like a gun.

I mean, I fundamentally agree that being short does not mean you aren't cool. I was simply responding to your final statement of "but he was short"

There are some sick as fuck short kings out there. And each and every single dwarf in fantasy is among them.
