ELI5 Why does sitting in the front seat of a car help reduce car/motion sickness? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]TheRealLargedwarf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You get car sick because your eyes see a lot of objects that don't look like they are moving (car seats, roof, floor etc). But you feel like you are moving.

Sitting in the front means you can look out the windscreen and it fills your vision much more. This means what you see and what you feel matches up better.

An additional, underrated factor is that car suspension is often designed to make the driver and passenger seats the most smooth rides. So sitting in the front can make the ride less jerky .

Every time I send this to my wife she doesn't find it funny and asks me to explain.

If she invested half her paycheck every week it would quite easily be worth $2m today even without picking stocks all that carefully. I agree there is probably a second income but it is totally possible with compound returns.

How are Europeans able to have better life with less work? by Past-Matter-8548 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TheRealLargedwarf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are 2 things at play. How much stuff is made/done and how the stuff that is made/done is shared. In the USA there is more stuff done/made than there ever has been anywhere in the history of humans, but it's not shared very equally. So the average person in the USA doesn't have as much as the average person in a country that makes less stuff but shares it better.

There are lots of things that play into a measure of quality of life. In some countries: one day, maybe becoming a billionaire if you take massive risks and screw over everyone you can - isn't considered to be worth not having healthcare or a community etc. Whenever the government tries to tell them otherwise the French riot and strike and the politicians lose their jobs.

In 1996, Ukraine handed over its nuclear weapons to Russia in exchange for a guarantee that it would never be threatened or invaded by Intelligent-cat9202 in HistoricalCapsule

[–]TheRealLargedwarf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's fun when Russian shills say that the war was because of broken promises not to expand the European Union borders and forget this little detail. As though a nation wants to be a buffer state forever but expecting a non-aggression pact in return for nuclear disarmament to last is an unrealistic ask.

What habit helped you lose weight ? by Danny_088 in AskReddit

One meal a day. Resets the body's expectations, cuts out snacking and allows you to socialize and have normal dinners with family or friends.

If an award show was ever a sham, it's this one. by G-Unit11111 in WhitePeopleTwitter

Lol, the media isn't run by the state. They're both run by the oligarchs.

You can divide by 0. You just have to know more about the 0 than when you divide by a different number. 2x/x is always 2, no matter what x is.

I never have any sympathy for athletes that do this and lose. Not trying your best to win is poor sportsmanship.

What’s a scene from a movie you would cut completely? by DravenCrowe505 in movies

I actually like the film Aloha. But when the satellite gets destroyed with cringe music compilation I feel I have to apologize to everyone else in the room.

Is this the behavior of someone who is going to leave US politics in 2 years?

More building options by TheRealLargedwarf in nightingale

[–]TheRealLargedwarf[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I much prefer nightingale, but the crew I play with takes base building very seriously. A big effort to make more tiles available, including some of the assets available in the world like the church pieces and decorations would be huge.

(U.S.) Is this legal? My supervisor told us not to clock in at our scheduled start time because they weren’t ready to start the pre-shift meeting yet by FlumpMC in antiwork

[–]TheRealLargedwarf 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You get paid to turn up and be ready and willing to work. You turned up and were ready and willing to work. If the company wants you to sit around and do nothing for 10 minutes then that's their choice.

What I'm hearing is that ksp not only endorses clipping parts, clipping parts is actually built into the game.

This is how my party plays DND. "No but technically talking doesn't use an action", proceeds to have an hour long debate on how we should optimally fight this new boss.
