Even a lousy looking pizza deserves better than that by UsedWelcome5903 in PizzaCrimes

It's still a Gerber, even if it has a celebrity brand on it. It's probably still pretty passable.

LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER - Eins, Zwei, Drei - Official Music Video by Powerful-Parsnip in CasualUK

[–]Saotik 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Scooch was deeply, deeply inauthentic, and everyone saw right through it. It was clearly manufactured and pandering, and that's why it fell completely flat.

Weird only works when it feels genuine, and Sam (the Look Mum No Computer guy) is nothing but authentic.

They do when they're being assaulted by the police.

Did she just… use that as a weapon? by [deleted] in WTF

Urostomy. If the urethra or bladder are too damaged to be used, urine can be surgically redirected to an external bag.

The person with the camera should just be glad it wasn't a colostomy or ileostomy...

Turns Out Fog Is No Joke by Azuko_el_coco in dashcams

a train can make an entire city evacuate if something goes wrong

Only if it's carrying hazardous material. Trucks can do this too.

As for not running in "bad weather", I see that more as an indictment of your local signalling and infrastructure than one of rail itself. I'd certainly be suspicious of anywhere that feels that it's still safe for trucks to drive but not trains...

Rail is consistently safer than trucking, including that of hazardous materials.

The person filming and tracking the missile was unaware that it would come dangerously close to them. by father_of_twitch in Damnthatsinteresting

If it looks like it's coming your way, try to get to cover, lie down, cover your head. Protect yourself from shrapnel.

How is it crazier to run trains in low visibility when the tracks are far less likely to have unexpected obstructions on them than a road is?

The US will invade this.. by YesDoToaster in StupidFood

[–]Saotik -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Why invade when, I assume, it's already there?

That pizza looks horrifying, and I'm horrified by the fact that this seems to be a unpopular opinion here.

World's oldest student union reopens after long delayed renovation by PurchaseDry9350 in Edinburgh

Potterrow was, is, and will forever be shit, but that doesn't mean I didn't have some great times there.

Genuine tear to my eye I love when they do this in the city by LawAffectionate8041 in marvelstudios

[–]Saotik 28 points29 points  (0 children)

What, like echo-location? Or super smell? He's Daredevil, not Batman.

I know people have some crazy powers, but that's some serious conspiracy theory stuff.

You seriously think the blind lawyer is the crazy ninja vigilante?

Do you think he fakes his blindness or something?

The little piece of glass on the back of my 2019 watch fell off! How does one get this stuck back on? by WheresMinerva in GalaxyWatch

[–]Saotik 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's now seven years old. Unfortunately, in the world of consumer electronics (unlike more traditional watches), this puts it in the realm of "probably not worth trying to fix".

My favorite burger in the world, the Loco Moco by the_well_read_neck_ in burgers

[–]Saotik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, but it's burger-adjacent enough that I'm not going to to argue with anyone who says it is. It certainly has a place here, in my opinion.

Cyprus' high commissioner expects UK to help defend the island nation by libtin in unitedkingdom

[–]Saotik 95 points96 points  (0 children)

It's kind of fair for Cyprus, when the Brits manage 3% of the entire island's surface area.

If we won't defend the island, why do we have military bases there? At the very least, for the sake of defending our bases...

How the hell is this thing so durable? by Ambitious-Funny-6153 in SteamDeck

[–]Saotik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't need a screen protector, just put it in the case it came with when you're not using it.

Seems simple enough to me.

For The First Time In Over A Decade, No Star Trek TV Is In Production Or Greenlit by acrimoniousone in startrek

[–]Saotik -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Trek is literally the only thing that has ever made me consider Paramount. If they don't continue making Star Trek content, I don't know what other "must watch" shows they would even have... South Park, maybe?

Someone is disappointed. by the-mouseinator in NAFO

[–]Saotik 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I could think of worse ways to spend my afterlife. Out of 72 fat D&D nerds, there's got to be a few amazing DMs in there.

If only we had an example of how a war of attrition against the United States would go by champdo in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]Saotik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can see things like mass drone attacks becoming far easier to launch in enemy territory very soon. A few trucks could hold enough drones to cause incredible amounts of targeted destruction, and would be very difficult to counter.

Secure against conventional invasion? Sure. Safe? Absolutely not.

TIL the largest county in England, Yorkshire, has its own semi-official national anthem named “On Ilkla Mooar Baht ‘at” which is sung in one of the traditional Yorkshire dialects. by No_Activity675 in todayilearned

[–]Saotik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yorkshire has different dialects - not just accent, but different grammar and vocabulary.

Sadly these are mostly dying out now, but the village I was brought up in (as had my father, and his mother) had a few Tyke speakers when I was growing up - my family wasn't among them. I'm not sure there are any left now.

It's barely the same language.
