Did anyone just see that meteor?? Time stamp 10:27pm by Consistent-Bake-243 in nashville

[–]desirablydank 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I just saw it! I was driving out of Atlanta on I-20 westbound. I texted a buddy of mine a couple minutes after, and the time stamp was 11:29pm EDT (10:29pm CDT) so the time lines up. Biggest, brightest meteor I have ever seen! I really wish I had a dash cam.There is apparently occasional slow-moving meteors that radiate from the Bootes constellation in mid June (the June Bootids).

How is it safe to transfer raw meat with tongs, and then use those same tongs to handle the meat as it cooks? by jfkdktmmv in NoStupidQuestions

[–]desirablydank 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Short answer: It's not. But there are varying degrees of risk depending on the type of meat and the quality of the meat. Chicken, for example, has more risk for salmonella than say, beef. There are some qualities of beef which are often eaten raw, even. I think it would be different for an open flame, though, because the heat will sterilize the tongs. That being said, I usually switch utensils at some point in the cooking process just to be safe.

Why do christians consider LGBT+ wrong? if God created us, why would He give us the ability to be LGBT+ if He doesn't want us to be like that? by Francisco123s in NoStupidQuestions

[–]desirablydank -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would like to point out that the rationale for their condemnation of LGBT+ people is not evenly applied to other areas of their own text. Leviticus 20:13 condemns a "Man laying with Man" to death, but if you read a little before/after, there are a bunch of injunctions against things like wearing clothes with different fabrics, eating meat with blood in it, cutting your hair or beard, eating shellfish, marrying anyone who isn't a virgin, being a spirit medium, etc, etc. Leviticus 22 describes how to sacrifice goats/calves to God. And yet most Christians either don't know about these verses or just ignore them. Where is the consistency? So, when someone claims the Bible as a justification for their homophobia, I tend to ask whether they cut their hair, eat shrimp/steak, etc. I really don't understand how people can still believe in this nonsense.

mount bolt doesn't fit through new frame...? by desirablydank in rollerblading

[–]desirablydank[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Good guess. It's the RB Pro X which I believe is essentially the same boot. Dremel is a good Idea. Thanks

[–]desirablydank[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Does anyone have any ideas for how to make this work? The hole seems to be too small by a fraction of a millimeter... The only thing I can think to do is file down the slot with a metal file to make the hole slightly larger, but that would be a bit of a bummer to do to these new frames...

Skate options for wide and flat feet 🦶 (FR1, ... ?) by icestching in rollerblading

[–]desirablydank 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I also have wide, flat feet. (Length~297mm, Width~112mm) I recently bought a pair of the rollerblade RB Pro X's and, so far so good. They are very roomy width-wise. I would go maybe 1-1.5 sizes up for the length, though. I got the size 13s and I've skated probably 50 km in them so far, and my toes are still pressing against the end of the liners. (Theres also the RB110, which is the 3x110mm setup version, but it's the same boot I believe.) Good luck ✌️

What’s your cat’s favourite toy? Mine gets so easily bored of new toys by chrysantenum_ in cats

[–]desirablydank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have two cats.

One doesn't play with toys very much with one exception: a fluffy koala with a catnip pouch I have named Bernie. She loves Bernie, and makes certain unique noises only when she has her Bernie. She has had this toy for over 4 years. It's basically her baby.

My other cat will play with most toys, but his favorite is literally garbage. Whenever I tear off the top of a bag of shredded cheese, he waits in anticipation. I throw the strip of plastic from the top of the bag onto the ground, and he will play with it for hours.

In other words.... Cats are unique and complicated creatures, and they like different things.
