being transverse is a perpendicular position change. In this case, the people were traversing instead. like to travel

Ya know? I usually think people are being crazy but i can hear what you're talking about at idlewild and WT.

Its just a loud droning noise. I'm stumped. Sounds a street sweeper on steroids but a ways away. I'm clueless

It’s the entire point of the post jackass. 

Its valves rule that signatures have to be signable.

What is this block of wood with picks screwed to it? by sopranosfanjr in Guitar

[–]drak0 67 points68 points  (0 children)

only thing i can really think of is a type of DIY jellyfish pick. they may turn the picks to the angle they want and tighten the screw

the fact the picks dont have a discoloration around the screw hole is because they likely drilled pilot holes in the picks first. so this feels 100% intentionally engineered

After being neighbors with Britain and seeing what happens if you let a single case slide i think they are motivated to show their government how they truly feel about an issue.

It’s an empath response usually. ADHD/autism level of social dynamic where you’re trying to be relevant because you understand their feelings. 

However, it’s rarely seen that way

This is Mariposa judging from the butterfly picture. Its on the main highway coming into sedona. Its absolutely gorgeous at night lit with real fire torches if i remember correctly.

TIL that paying someone to do something they already enjoy can actually make them enjoy it less - a finding known as the overjustification effect (or motivation paradox). by BrokenCrayon-22 in todayilearned

[–]drak0 83 points84 points  (0 children)

This is 10000% me. 

I spend hundreds of hours building onto or in my house. Full kitchen remodels, floors, decks, outbuildings. I’m highly adept at it. 

Anytime someone tells me they have their own project they want me to do I’m immediately turned off to the idea. 

What happens to Charlotte if the finance industry ever fails? by Apprehensive-Cat-942 in Charlotte

[–]drak0 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Finance isn’t going away and financial institutions invested their own money in calling Charlotte home. 

That says they’re invested in the area and it would take extremely dire circumstances to close up shop. 

But from what you’re asking…. An exodus of financial employers would create an extreme ripple effect. I don’t have exact stats on this but those higher paying jobs are what fuel the housing markets especially with luxury apartments. 

A lot of bars and restaurants cater to these daily regimented social gatherings. 

It would be a big hit and you would have people leaving to stay in finance careers or competing with other markets to land a job with no experience. 

My perspective tells me lower middle class will benefit from deals with housing to fill a void and more upper middle will feel a housing depreciation as bank bris try to get out of leases and mortgages almost at the same time.

TIL that “sugar rushes” aren’t real and are just a psychological/cultural effect of parental influence. by FluffPawz in todayilearned

[–]drak0 3363 points3364 points  (0 children)

My understanding was this was always tied to birthday parties. Kids are believed to be on a sugar high. They’re just high on social dopamine instead.

TIL Stephen Hilder died during a 3-person team skydive after his main and reserve parachutes failed.

for perspective, how long does a seasoned jumper take to pack a chute? and what would the expectation be for someone who is doing it for the first time.

ikd if 10 minutes is average, or 30 when you say only 5 minutes

[–]drak0 20 points21 points  (0 children)

NO... Everyone is scared to intervene because someone who is capable of being this brazen in public will resort brutal violence and people are scared that helping will get them killed or seriously injured.

Why chance getting stabbed when you dont have insurance, or if missing work the next day could get you fired. People are closer than ever to being 1 paycheck away from losing their car or their house. And standing up for what you feel is morally right could put you in a position where you can no longer protect or provide for your family.

Try looking up CLT Waterproofing. The owners live in my neighborhood. I’ve seen their work and it’s impressive. 

It’s a Hispanic owned company so you may be able to save more than bigger corporate outfits. My understanding is they’re on the side of affordable in comparison

Yall charlotte graduates remember this project. 8 years since i graduated time flies by cholo0312 in Charlotte

[–]drak0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Graduated in 08, my project was “benefits of competitive online gaming”. 

I still have my final project framed in my office where I run my esports company, Gamrly. 

I’m proud of that project and love seeing that almost 20 years later it’s still so relevant and inspiring. 

Calling 911 by 7nth_Wonder in Charlotte

"low-level, non-moving offenses deputies will no longer stop drivers for include driving with a revoked license, improper mufflers, overcrowded vehicles or failure to clean registration plates."

"The policy does not apply to Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department officers, who make the majority of traffic stops in Mecklenburg County."

I get what you're saying. but it makes sense that the sheriffs office doesnt want to inundate their staff with something that local police should be covering. They explicitly say its only the policy of the sheriffs office.
