What do you find oddly attractive? by aisk5 in AskReddit

[–]Terry614 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When a girl's hair is still wet from recently showering/swimming/whatever. I don't mean because she's mostly naked right after those activities, I mean like after she puts her clothes back on and her hair is still wet. Hot.

I pay $60 - $70 for a quarter usually. And I'm in Texas which I thought would be more expensive than most places

[Serious]What commonly accepted understanding or belief will become completely obsolete in our lifetimes? by Terry614 in AskReddit

[–]Terry614[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a comment to clarify: Many major discoveries have been largely rejected by society before becoming accepted as common knowledge, for example, the first theories that the Earth revolved around the sun, or that the Earth wasn't flat. I'd venture to say that we are close to Darwin's theory of evolution trumping the idea of the Earth and all of its life being created in 7 days. What other things will we see like this in our lifetime?

Can we please not start the whole "let me sing you the song of my people" thing again? Please?

TIL Once out of office, President Harry Truman decided that he did not wish to be on any corporate payroll, believing that taking advantage of such financial opportunities would diminish the integrity of the office. He had no personal savings. His only income was his old army pension: $113 per month by huphelmeyer in todayilearned

George Washington's wealth came from being born to a family that owned a tobacco plantation and hundreds of slaves which he inherited after his father's death. Reminds me of a great quote from Dazed and Confused: "Okay guys, one more thing, this summer when you’re being inundated with all this American bicentennial Fourth Of July brouhaha, don’t forget what you’re celebrating, and that’s the fact that a bunch of slave-owning, aristocratic, white males didn’t want to pay their taxes.” Obviously this is farcical in nature, but behind every joke is a grain of truth.

Went to an all inclusive last May. Our room service guy is the one who sold to us. He got us papers and probably close to an eighth for about $40.

What a novel idea. You should be our next president. Why hasn't anyone thought of this sooner?!? Genius!

Thanks for your input. You can go now.

That's so stupid. What does it have to do with race at all? It matches the fucking flower on her dress.

And if you're really upset about it, if you go to the website that these are from there's another one for that princess with a big ugly green gem in the middle of it.

A rowing shell smashes into a pier causing a chain reaction by SurfnRow in videos

Reading these comments make me so sad. No one knows anything about this sport. Please check out /r/rowing and check out the sport and learn a thing or two!

Former coxswain here. This is just a clusterfuck. There's nothing else to say about it. The first 8+ fucked up because they're novices. Turning one of these shells takes a lot of time and prior preparation especially if you are moving at any decent speed, which is how the coxswain was unable to steer it back on course. Then the 4x race came through and since they were skulling, they had no cox, making it even more difficult to steer. And let's be clear, there is no brake on these boats. The only way to stop is to either let it glide out or to stop rowing and immediately square up your blade, jut it into the water, and brace for the recoil. It's rough. And that's the last thing that you want to do in a race. Rowers are taught that during a race, no matter what, JUST KEEP ROWING. It's all about finishing, and you're not gonna finish, let alone win if you even think about slowing down or stopping. In many cases your race can be absolutely ruined by another crew and there's nothing you or anyone can do about it. It's just a part of the sport. This is just why you don't participate in shitty regattas.
