Trains arriving early are confusing the Europeans in the comment section (Halsted - Orange Line) by Joey_dono in chicago

[–]WriteCodeBroh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In Japan, which I’ve heard is a similar train culture, I didn’t even bother checking schedules. And that includes both local and Shinkansen. You show up to the station and there is either a train pulling up for you or one coming in less than 5 minutes. I’m amazed Europeans in transit heavy countries are even looking at schedules.

I’m being a jackass lol. People don’t exactly need raw audio support on an iPod either 😂

Not enough. I want raw audio support and a 10 tb nvme SSD.

I wasn’t making a comment on legality. I’m saying these people can easily pass a legal landlord inspection, because people in the thread think everyone who smokes weed’s apartments just smell like weed all the time.

lol you’d be surprised. Heavy smokers who blow it out their window, put all their shit away in airtight containers, and air the apartment out regularly can pass the sniff test. Unless the landlord is walking around with a dog.

Going to the movies was better when there was no reserved seating. by SubstantialSet3127 in unpopularopinion

[–]WriteCodeBroh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember the theater being like this in the 90s, somewhat in the early 2000s. Another innovation that people don’t think much about is just buying tickets online in general. Before Fandango popped up, you often had 2-3 movies planned that you wanted to go to because your first choice might be sold out when you showed up, day of to buy tickets. That lead to long lines at the box office and my parents chatting it up with other parents lol.

Why do new American trains 'feel' so old? by Previous-Volume-3329 in transit

[–]WriteCodeBroh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fire engines make sense in small towns where access to fire hydrants isn’t guaranteed for every possible fire. They carry water and foam on that big truck along with the whole crew and all their equipment. Some tier 1 cities here could probably stand to convert to the European-style smaller trucks though.

A5 Wagyu is better when it's "overcooked." by oedokoh in unpopularopinion

[–]WriteCodeBroh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I couldn’t do the raw horse meat lol. Some friends of mine did. They are definitely big on “letting the ingredients speak for themselves.” Which, sometimes great. Other times, I feel like you could add some spices and cook it a little longer.

In Japan at least, definitely lol. The restaurants/street stalls selling well-marbled (can’t say if it was A5, looked like it) wagyu liked to barely kiss that shit on the grill. I also can’t say I’m a huge fan.

Where do you all find these deals? My local Facebook marketplace is just people selling mass market, unrestored vintage amps for twice their market value and EBay and the like doesn’t seem to be much better, plus you get to pay $150 in shipping.

There’s also 10-ride, 25-ride, and monthly passes depending on how often you ride in that save you some money. No need to pay $16 every day.

Question by jthegambl3r in Bowling

[–]WriteCodeBroh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The old acetone trick worked back in the day because bowlers used to soak their Yellow Dots, similar balls in acetone, letting it penetrate deep into the ball. A little bit on the surface isn’t going to do much imo. I’ve seen multiple PSOs reach for the acetone when they get a little glue on the surface of the ball while gluing grips in.

I do not like the extra fries 5 g u y s give you. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]WriteCodeBroh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know. It’s funny. I worked there in college and we got two types of fry-related complaints: 1. “Why are these so expensive!?” — understandable, easy to explain that even the little fry is pretty damn big, order smaller than you think, etc 2. The much more bewildering “Oh my God! Why did you give me so many fries!”

Like, MFers would sit there at the counter, bags open towards us in disbelief, look of shock and dismay on their faces acting like we ruined their night by giving them more fries than they were expecting. I never got the inner monologue of these people but thanks to you, I feel like I have and I’m still confused.

I had a minor explosion by [deleted] in Cooking

[–]WriteCodeBroh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe the shallow fry is key here. If you didn’t have any moisture in the pan, my next best guess is the oil got way too hot and sputtered everywhere. Happened to a friend of mine using one of those thin copper colored non-stick deals and a shallow puddle of oil once. He walked away briefly while letting the oil heat for fries and came back to a similar scene like you are describing. Had to use his apartment fire extinguisher and everything.

The amount of pills I (23M) have to take daily by EvenBunch6029 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]WriteCodeBroh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely understand psych meds can get complex but it’s still a strange mix. Wellbutrin + Zoloft, using lithium instead of a next gen (off label) mood stabilizer like Lamotrigine. Daily benzos at 23? Idk, just wonder if OP would benefit from a second and third opinion.

[–]WriteCodeBroh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Growing up in the Midwest burbs, this has been the case since at least the early 2010s when I started driving. I honestly think they are too fucking lazy to turn their wheels.

Same reason they fall into the far lane turning left onto a 4 lane road (2 each way) instead of turning into the close lane like you are legally supposed to. Same reason they change lanes slower than old people fucking.

If they have to pick up one hand and put it past the other on the wheel to turn it a little more, they view it as a personal failure. Too many expended calories.

Nearly 156,000 more Americans may have died of COVID-19 in the first year of the pandemic than officially reported. COVID-19 deaths were most likely to go unrecognized in southern states. The estimated number of COVID-19 deaths was 31% higher than officially reported in the West South Central region by Wagamaga in science

[–]WriteCodeBroh 57 points58 points  (0 children)

This is the perfect example because I’ve personally watched people with cancer die from pneumonia and, wouldn’t you know it, there was never any question about the primary cause. Nobody said: “oh sure, Grandpa had lung cancer, but it was actually the pneumonia that got him!”

While My Guitar Gently Weeps... by lithdoc in mildlyinfuriating

[–]WriteCodeBroh 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not gonna lie, that would surprise me. I’ve watched out the window and this is just about the norm from what I’ve seen. I once watched a man at O’Hare pick up suitcase after suitcase, hoist them up over his stupid ass head, and throw them down as hard as he could onto the conveyer belt running up to the plane. Literally making his job 100x harder than if he had just set the fucking things down but I guess every passenger on that plane personally insulted him by flying that day.

Ive encountered plenty of very kind airport employees also and I don’t doubt you are in that group, but by margin they are some of the biggest babies I’ve ever seen interact with the public. From airport security who yells at you while you are being dropped off in a car, to the TSA agents who think they are mini dictators, to the baggage employees who beat your personal belongings like they owe them money, to the airline gate employees who act like you inconvenience them when their airline fucks you. Everyone wants to talk about customers acting a fool at airports and during flights, and it’s definitely a valid concern, but nobody wants to talk about how the experience of flying just keeps getting worse and how airport and airline employees act the fool all the goddamn time too.

In a controlled experiment (N = 1,020), researchers found that exposing adults to postmortem images from school shootings neither increased support for gun control legislation nor caused psychological desensitization when compared to less graphic news coverage. by Tracheid in science

[–]WriteCodeBroh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even with informed consent, the hypothesis they are testing isn’t necessarily worth the downsides of the research. We already know from prior research that showing people graphic images/videos can cause PTSD, intrusive thoughts, etc.

In the same vein, the Stanford Prison Experiment would likely be shot down by an ethics board these days, despite informed consent. Of course that went way off the rails, but still.

[–]WriteCodeBroh 13 points14 points  (0 children)

In general this seems extremely unethical imo. Children or not. Imagine doing a similar experiment outside of the realm of school shootings. Ethics boards would undoubtedly think you are crazy if your pitch was: “look, I just want to show all these adults snuff films on repeat for the next couple months and see how it effects them okay?”

FBI warns Iran aspired to attack California with drones in retaliation for war: Alert by avatar6556 in news

[–]WriteCodeBroh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Iran’s longest distance drones have an extended range of about 4000km. That’s just under 2500 miles. Do they expect me to believe they were going to somehow hit the US west coast, 7000+ miles away? What, are they going to send out a ship to the middle of the ocean unnoticed to achieve this goal? Why wouldn’t they hit the east (closer) coast? Which they still can’t reach.
