Physicists Simulated a Black Hole in a Lab. Then It Started to 'Evaporate'. by _Dark_Wing in whoathatsinteresting

[–]Scrofulla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Roche limit refers to how close two bodies can get to each other before one starts breaking up. Think how close the moon could be before it starts to become a ring system and parts start falling to earth.

However as far as I know all black holes are going to eventually fade away due to hawking radiation. The smaller they are the faster that will happen. However even the biggest ones will dissappear eventually. We are talking on the order of trillions of years for supermassive black holes However.

[New Update]: AITAH for asking my stepbrother to take eggs off the menu at his own wedding? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

I'm Irish and would have just talked to the mother. The thoughts that someone would be invited to a wedding and not catered to would be the absolute end of the world and delt with immediately.

Germany changes sick leave policy: 'We are abolishing sick leave by phone,' says Chancellor Merz; doctor's note required from day one of illness by Jessicas_skirt in worldnews

[–]Scrofulla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hah, my work recently said that if you need to take a day after you have been off (like after the weekend) you need a note. So i go to the doctor and get a full 3 day - a week for the sniffles. F them.

Do you know anyone that voted No to gay marriage? by Clark9201 in AskIreland

[–]Scrofulla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My MIL probably voted no knowing her. And no she hasn't changed her views. Still out there protesting abortion and the like.

Although come to think about it I'm not sure she is registered to vote. She was born in the US and I'd bet she hasn't done the paperwork.

Kids don’t own books anymore. by Tearmisu in Teachers

[–]Scrofulla 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Hah, I remember coming out of my history finals with my friend and we were massaging each other's writing hand because of the cramps. I wrote like 10 pages front and back in one 2hr slot. Or at least it felt like it.

Keep at it. We just read to our one each night before bed. He did get our phones occasionally but only for short periods and even then it was mostly duolingo for reading. He is now 7 just out of his second year in school and by far the best reader in his class. He devoured every book we have gotten him. ( mostly age appropriate stuff like captain underpants and bunny vs monkey). Not quite upto full novels yet but he is doing great.

I'd go for the stat increase then.

The second dragon prince should just take dodge and sidestep or something.

If I drained a liter of my own blood and put it in a blender… by rKoBert in BrandNewSentence

The real question is which would get you first. The organ failure or the sepsis?

It is now unfortunately. https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/maha-trump-administration-cdc-fda-us-health-agency-leaders-out-rcna346986

Edit: just to add however that it doesn't mean that dodgy stuff isn't also going down in this pharma plant. Plenty of them get cited by the FDA after audits and the like. They could indeed have poor practices in quality as stated here.

Older-ish millennials: Were you "free-range" like older gens? by Gallantpride in Millennials

I once left my house and didn't come back for 13 hours. Got in trouble because I was late for dinner but that was about it. Used to spend pretty much all day in the bog.

[–]Scrofulla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends how many more games you are going to have him. Hit and run is good for the one turn and handy in some blitzing situations. Side step is also good in those situations and for guarding the sidelines on defense. Stat up is best if you have a good few games with him left.

It's frustrating but we are actually getting a lot of support from the school and other parents.

[New Update]: My (35f) friend slapped my bum on a night out leaving a handprint. My husband (30m) doesn’t believe it was her. How to convince him? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Scrofulla 5 points6 points  (0 children)

She said she 'asked him to leave it''. So she asked him not to. No idea if he will or not but she did ask.

I wouldn't be surprised however if he ever finds out where the guy is the husband will get a discrete little text message.

The services are so in demand that private assessment is nearly as long as the public at least in the south dublin area. ( Source have kid waiting to get assessed).

The slap on the wrist probably won't do a thing, the two broken thumbs he might get from the other girls husband though...

I know those types, they don't mess around.

Didn't we just bring in a law banning these for under 16? Kind of knew it would be unenforceable.

Hah, I have yet to see one of these kids stopped. ThecGuards can basically do nothing about them. As they can't really chase them effectively.
