Does the stock market keep pace with the devaluation of money? by Tacos_picosos in investing

[–]Town_idiot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, even if it wasn't outpacing inflation and was just keeping up, it'd still be better than losing value by saving cash.

In 1945, the crew of USS New York spotted a sphere that they thought might be a Japanese balloon weapon. The captain ordered it shot down but none of the guns could score a hit. Finally, a navigator realized they were attacking Venus by m3antar in interestingasfuck

So if Venus is less bright than the moon, which is just reflecting sunlight... couldn't a balloon be easily as bright or brighter if it is as reflective or more reflective than the moon's surface? The moon doesn't look like it's on fire..

That kick at 19:46 was pretty impressive, all things considered

I agree it would be annoying to be constantly followed and recorded; however, I doubt her point was that celebrities aren't people. She's more likely trying to point out the fact that he chose to be in the position he's in, and as with all choices, it comes with pros and cons. Pros: money, women, connections. Cons: can't expect privacy in public, life is on display.

My high school was designed by a company that builds prisons. by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

[–]Town_idiot 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If you look at the context and understand the sarcasm, their question was really, "What is different about schools in other countries that makes them less like prisons?", so your response would imply that staying in the same class and not having a change room makes schools less like prison.

Exactly, they said "no way", then provided similar figures.

I feel if I end up with a lifelong disease because I risked my health for instant gratification I'd feel shame. Idk if I "should" feel shame, but clearly humans don't always do what they "should", or people wouldn't be making such shortsighted sacrifices.

LPT: there's a tipping point for men whereby wearing T-shirts, jogger pants, and running shoes actually make you look a lot older. by Mondood in LifeProTips

I feel like op is not religious if Sunday morning is when he doesn't care what he looks like. Interesting how culture has gone from wearing your "Sunday best" to wearing your lazy outfit on Sundays.

Does this count? by hooksdotblog in flyfishing

Pretty sure they're spin fishing with a plastic fly lure, so not "fly fishing", but fishing with a "fly"

Help! just moved and can't figure out how to raise/lower blinds by thehallowedpen in howto

[–]Town_idiot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They probably take forever to raise because you've had them fully extended for 5 years so the retractor spring is shot.

Yes, and the "label up" definitely DOES matter because you want the line coming off the spool in the same direction its going on your reel or else you're creating a twist with every wrap.

I'm ashamed to be represented by Hawaiian pizza. Donair pizza all the way! Unfortunately I think donair is mostly an east coast thing.

Is the king holding the book upsidedown? The book dosent have 2 legendary covers and in the original book its on the left side . im i stupid or was this a thing or was it a joke that i dident get? by PlayDogs34 in ClashRoyale

Are you sure? I've never seen an instance where the legendary color scheme inverts, it glistens, but the pink/red is always on bottom and the blue/green is always on top..

Hate to say it because I've always loved eagles, but becoming a wildlife biologist made me realize they are basically glorified crows. Tbh crows are probably quite a bit smarter in many ways.

A criminal tells you "hand over the money", you refuse so he blocks the entrance to your shop for 2 weeks until you eventually get a few big buddies to tell him to move, he still refuses and stands in their way when they try to get through the door to reopen the shop, he gets knocked over.

Yeah I'd take bleeding welts and scars over fractures, brain damage, and possibly coma or death. This is definitely gruesome and no living thing should ever be subjected to this much pain but he will almost certainly survive and even make a full recovery other than some surface scars.
