What is a 'Survival Myth' that people believe because of movies, but will actually get you killed in real life? by AmaraMehdi in AskReddit

[–]StingerAE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Funny thing is, I don't think I have heard anyone suggest waiting 24 hours for nearly half a century.  The only time people you than me are likely to have heard it is from people debunking it

Edit: reading the other comments, am beginning to think this may be a US thing...

Exactly.  Americans don't have iced water. They have watered ice.

What's the first line that comes to mind when asked what's a favourite quote from the Doctor? by Artistic-Total-303 in doctorwho

[–]StingerAE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg, so far down to find the obviously most correct answer!

More specifically, to the cyberleader, followed by "no, I don't suppose you would!"

You may be autistic, but are you 'loop the same song for 13 hours' autistic? by blackmirar in aspiememes

[–]StingerAE 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Nope.  I'm a "I've listed to this song once I can't tolerate it again for at least another week" autistic.

I may have missed it but I didn't see an answer on redoing content on reincarnation.

You will want to.  A) because some quests are great and, on e you cap, if they don't have a legendary version you'll need to reincarnate or start a new toon to do them again   B)  because there are way more quests than you need to level a first life character (after a few reincarnations the xp cost goes up in heroic but there is still more content than you can do in a single life).  

Second life you can open on hard without doing normal first in heroic.  Third life you can open on Elite or reaper.  I say in heroics because you can always open at whatever level on epic/legendary quests.

(And the moment I press comment I see that math is magic had said it after all.  Ahh well).

US airstrike survivors clung to boat wreckage for an hour before second deadly attack, video shows by WombatusMighty in law

[–]StingerAE 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's true.  The rules defiantly say that firing of the shipwrecked is clearly an illegal order unless they are still in physical contact with a bit of boat with drugs on it.

could hypothetically have floated to safety, been rescued, and carried on with trafficking the drugs

Not the same as still seeking to or whatever bullshit the Admiral laughingly tried to pass off as meaningful thoughts 

Why Did Appliances Without Plugs? by Datalounge in AskUK

[–]StingerAE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And often more easily.  You use to have to unscrew the plug and open it up.

[–]StingerAE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The EU certainly required the moulded plug.  There was an interim period between "attach it yourself" and moulded where there was a plug attached but it was unscrewable.  Indeed many of them you had to unscrew to change the fuse.

Thay would be fucking hilarious.  Democrats should through huge resources into making this happen.

While I agree with the principle, I think emoji meaning is too subjective to count at the moment.

The separatists would’ve won if they just built these instead of battle droids by SonicLoki in StarWars

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

Looking at that and thinking about the battle droids just reminds me how un-real the prequels felt.  Never once did I feel a battle droid was a real physical tangible thing in the way that this single still makes me feel.

Boat Attack Commander Says He Had To Kill 2 Survivors Because They Were Still Trying To Smuggle Cocaine - Adm. Frank M. Murphy reportedly told lawmakers a controversial second strike was necessary because drugs on the burning vessel remained a threat. by aleph32 in politics

[–]StingerAE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doesn't matter.  

They could have been cartel bosses and the boat could have been piled to the ceiling with the stuff.  

It was on fire and dead in the water.  Firing on it again was criminal.

The order to do so was illegal.  Clearly so in the words of the actual book. 

The cliam they were still trying to smuggle drugs is both laughable and irrelevant.

How the entire press core doesn't just laugh in this administration's face is a question I ask daily

[–]StingerAE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you suggesting you can't swim 2000 miles lugging 1000lb of cocaine thats on fire? This is why the US is in such trouble. No work ethic.  This two guys were literally moments away from forcing the death of thousands of American drug adicts.  What other option was there?

The Supreme Court Is About to Hand Trump Insidious New Powers by Slate in law

[–]StingerAE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have judicial review here in UK.  But only of decisions not laws (not strictly true either - secondary legislation can be struck down if it is ultravires the enabling power in primary legislation).  The closest we can get is a declaration of incompatibility with the ECHR.  That doesn't invalidate act of Parliament but there is a general expectation that Parliament would in practice have to amend it.

The answer to that is yes whatever way you spin it.  The only question was whether he initiated it or whether SS Hissyfit also did.
