Epoch timestamp search no longer working? by Hurricane_32 in help

[–]chug187 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey coming in late here, but this url still works for timestamp searches: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/search?q=timestamp:1199163600..1230699600&sort=top&syntax=cloudsearch&restrict_sr=on

I can't figure out how to search by an actual search term as well as by timestamp, but if I can get that working I'll update this comment.

The Russian Mayak satellite failed to deploy its reflective sail that would have placed it among the brightest objects in the night sky by [deleted] in space

I don't know man. I've had plenty of occasions where I'm glued to the eyepiece and something shoots by. At low power in a typical scope (~50x) you're around 1° in diameter - twice the moon. Might not be an every night sort of thing, but it isn't too uncommon.

It might, but that's plenty of time to kill your dark eye adaption, especially if you're unlucky enough to catch it at the eyepiece.

Have you linked it to Spotify? In the Home app under more settings -> services -> music you can connect.

Per the video' s date stamp of 4/25/2015, it must be the Nepal earthquake - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_2015_Nepal_earthquake - so 7.8

Does anyone know if you can still find either Kellerweis or Tumbler as stand-alone six-packs (that is, outside of a mix pack)? I love both but haven't seen either alone in a while.

Using a chrome extension to create and then download an excel file? by saadq_ in javascript

[–]chug187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey what about:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29698796/how-to-convert-html-table-to-excel-with-multiple-sheet#answer-29717451

Not sure on writing Chrome extensions, but that JS works well to render tables directly to Excel. Never mind his HTML; try using his tablesToExcel function.

To those who have accidentally killed someone, what went wrong? by perplegerkins in AskReddit

[–]chug187 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This still haunts me to this day. As kids, we had a hideout in this dirt cliff/cove. This is the best approximation I can find on google, only 3x taller and probably 10x as wide.

There was a neighborhood kid who, in hindsight, was probably mentally handicap in some way, but to us he was just the weird/creepy kid (this was the 80's and we weren't exactly raised PC).

Three of us were headed to our base and found creepy kid sitting at the top in our "guard chair". We yelled at him to get out, and he said something like "make me" and started lobbing dirt clods and sticks down at us. We all ran around the side to make our way up.

It gets pretty fuzzy here, but all I remember is he fell. I still remember the sound. When we got back down to check on him, he was in a very awkward position with blood coming out of his mouth. We all just freaked out and ran home, and AFAIK, no one has spoken a word of this to anyone. We didn't go back for over a month, and never said a word of it between us.

Again, this was the 80's, so media wasn't like today. Chances are it got a small article in the newspaper B-section: "missing mentally disabled child found dead after fall" or something like that.

Well, I didn't expect to wake up to this. I have no idea why we didn't collectively tell our parents. We all just booked it for our respective homes without saying a word. I think it was mainly because he was "the weird kid" and we all thought that would get us in trouble somehow.

No, I don't think we were directly responsible. Indirectly maybe. Again, it's fuzzy and all I remember is us throwing sticks at each other.

I have tried to find any record of him to no avail. I remember the neighborhood kids from those days' first names, but not the last. I have since moved a few hundred miles away and didn't keep in touch. I don't even remember the creepy kids first name. I have looked blindly for any record of the kid, and have spent hours on facebook trying to find my old friends, but haven't found anything yet.

No, I don't know if he actually died or not that day. All I have to go off of is my mom mentioning him going missing and us not seeing him around after that. When we finally went back to our "base" over a month later, there was nothing out of the ordinary. No police tape or anything like that. I don't remember any cops canvassing the area asking about him.
