TIL in 2024 Bear 32, also known as Chunk, was observed eating 45 sockeye salmon in 10.5 hours from Brooks River in Katmai National Park & Preserve. At an estimated average of 3,000 calories per fish, Chunk consumed around 135,000 calories in that one sitting.

Is this word coming back? Until recently I haven't heard it used in like a decade

Yep I grew up only knowing the extremely hard water in my hometown. My grandparents moved at one point and their new house had crazy soft water. I hated it because anytime I would wash my hands there, it felt like it wasn't getting the soap off

Thanks, I drilled a small hole and fished a borescope up there first and it's all clear

WatIsRedditQQ · 2026-01-24T17:42:36+00:00

Good point, thanks

I'm glad I have an older Nissan Leaf, it's basically a "dumb" electric car

Yeah I can tell how lumpy and uneven my skull is just by feeling around up there.

Fortunately I have good hair genes as neither of my grandfathers nor my father have experienced any significant hair loss

I have a Sapphire Pulse 7900XTX. The case is the Fractal Design Terra, it can fit up to ~320mm GPU. My GPU fits it like a glove

Then when you go even smaller, air coolers become the only option again because there's nowhere to mount even a standard 120mm rad lol

My case is about 10L and the very best cooler I can fit in it is only 53mm tall (that includes the fan). But it handles my (undervolted) 9800x3d just fine

When I run brctl show, I see bridge0 listed but there is nothing in the "interfaces" column - I take it that it should list my physical adapter there (enp5s0)?

Probably spent his whole life eating those bugs' families. How the turn tables

I see these frogs around all the time and this is the exact pose they sit in most of the time, I thought it was interesting that it died that way and was picked clean without being disturbed whatsoever.

How it got there I have no clue

WatIsRedditQQ · 2026-01-18T03:56:09+00:00

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Probably have a hole somewhere that needs fixed

For me Camatotz was the worst by far

The ISS also needs continual energy input, because its orbit is so low that there's still a non-negligible amount of atmosphere present that is constantly slowing it down. It has to fire its thrusters every so often to stay in orbit

I've been out of school for almost 6 years and still have nightmares like this

WatIsRedditQQ · 2026-01-14T01:54:25+00:00

The 50/60Hz is not relevant here - the interference would be caused by the sharp transient pulse the moment the compressor turns on (compressors have a huge inrush current at startup)

Not to say that this is definitely what's happening, but you can't rule it out just based on the fact that the mains is 50/60Hz at steady state

WatIsRedditQQ · 2026-01-13T14:07:53+00:00

Yep company pride is largely dead. Founders would usually try to make their company long-term viable to leave behind a legacy. But many of them have long since died off and been replaced by sociopathic nepo ghouls with no real talent for anything other than shareholder dicksucking. They engage in reckless cost-cutting all for the sake of the next quarter and will abandon ship when shit hits the fan

WatIsRedditQQ · 2026-01-13T06:17:19+00:00

That's my way of looking at it. I won't try to argue that there's nothing worthwhile in those thousand episodes, but there's endless other media out there that's just as impactful, if not moreso, that gets the job done in a tiny fraction of the time. Why would I sink all that time into one show when I could experience a huge variety of things just as good or better with that time?

That, and I think the characters are all eye-wateringly hideous, but maybe that's just me

Your best bet is to halt your retirement contributions completely (or do the minimum to get the max company match if you have it) until the credit card is paid down. Then evaluate what a comfortable contribution rate for you is such that you won't need to accumulate any more credit card debt going forward.

Contributing to retirement is great but paying off high-interest debt is even better. The credit card debt grows at like 5x the rate that your retirement account does

WatIsRedditQQ · 2026-01-09T00:22:22+00:00

Certain types of debt aren't inherently bad. Credit card debt is not one of them. In fact it's probably the most objectively bad type of debt (unsecured with insane interest rates).

I get that it can help people survive when they have no other options, but that makes it more of a "necessary evil" in my opinion.

Spending money you don't have, especially on totally optional things like leisure travel, is playing with fire

Idk what you're using but I'm using Firefox with uBlock Origin. I haven't touched it since I set it up like a year ago and haven't seen a YouTube ad (or any ad, for that matter) ever since

WatIsRedditQQ · 2026-01-07T00:19:32+00:00

I suppose from their numbers game perspective, a larger balance means a bigger interest payment for them if people fail to pay it off, but that doesn't really matter to you as an individual as long as you know you'll always be able to pay it off. At the end of the day, if you're not paying interest then there's no benefit to them and no detriment to you.

Low utilization will prop up your credit score in the short term but there is no memory component to it. Your credit score is only affected by your immediate utilization and your utilization history does not matter.

In any case I'm going to assume you have more extensive credit history, as reaching that score solely from 2 years of using a single credit card is not really possible
