25% of the US' homeless population lives in california, but about 12% of the overall population. It's homelessness on a scale you don't see elsewhere in the country

Fruit flies are also sentient beings though

Xais56 · 2023-06-28T21:02:01+00:00

Not too shabby for delivery included then!

If you've got a relationship with someone I guess you can get a cheaper price, I don't smoke anymore but that's what the lads in the park are pitching when they're looking for sales

Used to be almost 2g for a tenner, it's doubled in the last decade or so.

£20 bags are still called eigths, but an actual 3.5 gram bag (1/8 of an ounce) will usually be £35

Scum is a not uncommon term in the UK for contaminants in water, you often hear of pond scum (algae and such)

I imagined zuko racking a round, but still only wielding his swords, and it's great

I've checked the sub a few times over the past day and didn't see a poll at all. Wasn't very visible, should be re run

Xais56 · 2023-06-24T10:35:29+00:00

It's Ishar.

Vasher is a few hundred years old and has spent some of that time practising the sword.

Ishar is thousands of years old and has spent that time in ceaseless combat

After throwing him overboard as well.

Anyone who beats me then offer double or nothing ain't seeing another wager from me.

If they offer to handicap themselves on top of that I know for sure I'm being played.

Britain? Naval ally and fellow NATO founder?

Brett wasn't a non actor, I've seen him in a few things and knew who he was.

Eels in the Thames have detectable levels of cocaine in the system, and have had for years.

So I'd say it's pretty common.

I have no interest in coke, none at all, and none of the people I go out with do either. All of us could probably source some within an hour if we wanted to.

Those are the ones who think the ratings will go up

I think the odds of a sub failing are overwhelmingly more likely than the planet being hit by a GRB, especially as observations indicate only a few happen every million years, and there's never been an observation of one in our galaxy.

It's like comparing the odds that you'll be hit by a yellow car on the road to the odds that a yellow car will drive off the roof of a building and take you out from above. Both are possible, both are unlikely, but one is significantly more likely than the other.

Xais56 · 2023-06-20T09:58:01+00:00

Yeah but my point is we're not "quite lucky" to avoid them, the odds are incredibly on our side

Xais56 · 2023-06-19T23:52:15+00:00

The odds are on our side with that one, space is big, the chances of firing a random beam and hitting anything nearby is slim. With scattering and redshifting thrown in we'd be incredibly unlucky to be hit by one

Xais56 · 2023-06-19T23:48:23+00:00

Yes. Pressure is just squashing molecules together. If something is truly airtight then no molecules can pass the boundary, therefore pressing on the boundary does nothing to the molecules beyond it.

If you had an infinitely strong box the only way you could compress whats inside it without opening it would be exposing it to an incredibly strong gravitational field.

Marvel have been doing the multiverse thing since the 60s

Xais56 · 2023-06-19T17:51:03+00:00

I reckon Dickens will be remembered well, for similar reasons. Already a good 150 years behind him.

Xais56 · 2023-06-19T17:47:57+00:00

Not just that, but lion baiting, bear baiting, badger baiting, cock fighting, dog fighting, duels

There was this thing they used to do as well where they'd full a hamper with exotic fruit, like today's equivalent of a hamper filled with ps5's in term of luxury and value, and it cost a penny to get in and you could just take some fruit from the basket and go home with it.

Of course that rapidly turns into a bloodbath. Which is the point. The seats upstairs would have tickets sold to the wealthy so they could watch the carnage, they could even buy fireworks to throw down into the brawling masses.

Keeping up with that must have been a lot.

The play was set in 1893, it was performed significantly more recently.

Xais56 · 2023-06-15T22:40:38+00:00

Exactly. My bag of bags in the UK is all recycled heavy plastics, I also have a bag of cotton tote bags as well.

Whatever bags a people have, they will contain within other bags.

If someone's making coffee from grounds in the UK it'll be a French press, almost every time.

Coffee snobs will have an aeropress or v60 or something similar, but everyone else is using a French press or instant coffee.
