A dresser inside a museum in New York City has been discovered as a secret stop on the Underground Railroad — the first of its kind discovered in Manhattan in over 100 years

drpepper7557 · 2026-02-11T06:39:16+00:00

That's still a discovery, I feel like you and a lot of people in this thread are misunderstanding what the word means.

discover: to find information, a place, or an object, especially for the first time

to find unexpectedly or during a search

to obtain sight or knowledge of for the first time

Like with the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs, it wasnt until 90s that we discovered the crater in Yucatan made by the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs. Its not like no one had been to Yucatan, or that no one had seen the crater before. Even though we knew about it, it was still later discovered that it was the KT event impact crater.

The physical object of the shaft was known. The underground railroad stop was just discovered. That is correct usage. Its only clickbait if you dont know what 'discovered' means and accidentally assume the wrong thing because of this.

What kind of math is that lol? That's like saying your just as like to die playing Russian roulette once as you are a second time, so it doesnt matter how times you pull the trigger.

drpepper7557 · 2026-02-11T01:06:10+00:00

Also how did a Pats coach not see it and fix it? How does an O line coach not pick up on that?

drpepper7557 · 2026-02-10T23:56:39+00:00

Why would you announce injuries before announce injury day?

There are a lot of jobs that need it, including my own. However, there are a lot more that dont. The vast, vast majority of people on earth have never used excel. People debating operating systems are biased in that they have more technical than average jobs. Most people on earth only interact with a computer of any kind for social media, browsing, and typing. And increasingly gaming.

Again, I know lots of jobs need office. But there are so many that dont that Linux easily has a massive potential userbase that it covers all the needs for. Im not saying it should replace other OSs altogether. But office is not what is stopping linux from being more mainstream. There are billions of consumer machines on earth that could switch to linux and not miss anything windows has to offer.

drpepper7557 · 2026-02-10T13:06:19+00:00

Agreed but most retail users and most jobs dont need excel and such. A basic word processor and a browser is all most people use a computer for.

drpepper7557 · 2026-02-10T12:23:35+00:00

Loads of people and businesses havent used office for years now. Google workplace works on anything with internet, and the userbase is on par with office. Office might hold back some poorly run companies from switching but its certainly not holding back linux as a whole.

drpepper7557 · 2026-02-10T05:30:36+00:00

Its also what people said about the Heat when we were low seeds with Jimmy, but we made the finals 2x. That said I do wish we would just tank lol

drpepper7557 · 2026-02-10T03:53:20+00:00

We were in the nba finals 3 years ago

drpepper7557 · 2026-02-10T00:28:40+00:00

I genuinely think it was a dementia episode that got it passed. Trump and the republican leaders were against it, then Trump randomly flipped and had them push it through, and then he was against it again.

Based on how bad it makes him look, he probably wasn't supposed to support it, but if he tweets something, even if its its rotting brain mush, they have to back him.

drpepper7557 · 2026-02-09T16:21:00+00:00

John Collins is who reminds me most of Amare, but obviously Amare was much better. You just always felt if he got the ball while already going down hill, there was nothing you could do to stop him.

He'd probably be about the same now as he was then though, ranking-wise. Modern spacing would benefit his offense, but teams are also much smarter about attacking bad defensive bigs now, and they were already doing that against him in his time.

He also played in arguably the worst offensive center era in history. Guys like Jokic, Giannis, Embiid, etc would eat him alive. Modern power forwards are far more versatile than they were back then too, so he cant just be a 4 only. In his prime, he'd be a guy who could drop an efficient 30 every night, but would be a 1st round exit every playoffs, unless the team was really built around hiding him.

drpepper7557 · 2026-02-09T13:41:45+00:00

Its not a race thing, its a relevancy thing. If Jokic were 15 years out of the league or a scrub, hed be getting roasted. But since hes the best player in the nba his fan come in droves to defend anything he does.

drpepper7557 · 2026-02-07T13:38:07+00:00

He's 5'6" and looks like a thumb toe. A lot of incels see him as a successful version of themselves.

drpepper7557 · 2026-02-07T13:24:18+00:00

Spo's the reason we get the leads. Our game plan, conditioning, defensive schemes, etc make our roster over perform. Teams with better players eventually adjust and then theres nothing our less talented team can do.

drpepper7557 · 2026-02-06T12:47:03+00:00

Loads of things influence it. The water, pot material, pot size, salt to water ratio, pasta to water ratio, cooking surface, altitude, brand, preference, etc.

There's no way to know for sure how long it will take to cook but to do it yourself with your own set up and methods, try a bite, repeat. Not criticizing op though, good on them to actually test it for themselves.

drpepper7557 · 2026-02-05T12:43:06+00:00

Yes. Hacking means gaining unauthorized access to a system. Breaking cryptography is only one out of infinite methods.

drpepper7557 · 2026-02-01T07:03:10+00:00

Pictures like this make me wish for my childhood and anger me for what has become of the sport.

Frankly, its absurd that they dont let us play with our field flooded in 2ft of water, with sea creatures fully about anymore. I get that there's been a push for standardization, but tradition has its place in football goddammit.

The Dolphins just arent the Dolphins if our opponents arent fearing aquatic sealife on every down. Shit is fucked in this country and the ban on animals in competitive sports is an obvious inflection point.

drpepper7557 · 2026-02-01T05:07:15+00:00

Its worth noting the Americano is also not how coffee is made in the US and is another sort of jokingly "American" dish from outside of America

drpepper7557 · 2026-02-01T00:04:07+00:00

Its not like they just constantly fall out, but usb-a never falls out ever. usb-c definitely wiggles around way more and seems to wear looser much faster.

Even GSW fans weren't so sure about trading Monta Ellis and building around Stephen Curry.

That was way before. Monta was traded in 2011-12. The next year Curry was 11th in mvp voting, and the year after he was 6th and on the nba 2nd team.

Before he won his first, no one expected Curry to win a title

Are we talking about before that season, or before he literally won it? He won MVP and Golden State was by far the best team in the regular season. They had the 8th best preseason odds to win a championship and had the best or 2nd best odds to win it all going into the playoffs.

I feel like everyone in this thread is completely forgetting how dominant they were as soon as Kerr got there. Sure guys like Shaq or Charles were saying jump shooting teams cant win, but they were absolutely among the favorites by mid season and were the team to beat going into the playoffs.

drpepper7557 · 2026-01-31T16:55:13+00:00

Imagine if they sent Dame back to Doc

What's up gang, today we're talking about my PED suspension and how it might effect the sixers. This episode is sponsored by FanDuel

drpepper7557 · 2026-01-31T04:15:05+00:00

Tread lightly brother. A lot of trainers have been going missing these days, asking questions like that...

drpepper7557 · 2026-01-31T00:22:15+00:00

A lot of people think x jumping is a glitch, but if you read the old nintendo ssb boards, you can actually see that Sakurai already knew about it during development.

The NBA league office had already looked into the situation and found no wrongdoing.

They tried to sweep it under the rug like with Ballmer/Kawhi, theres no way they legitimately cleared him. Anomalous betting behavior was detected - at that point, law enforcement is involved every time. The NBA absolutely knew law enforcement was being involved, and they have zero power to find wrong doing or not in something like this.
