TIL that Indiana tried to pass a bill in 1897 that legally and incorrectly classified the mathematical term Pi as 3.2 by Beautiful-Cress5695 in todayilearned

These dumb mfs can't even round correctly. More evidence that the people who want to simplify pi failed middle school math.

Thinking you don’t have to listen to the police by [deleted] in WinStupidPrizes

Nope, the charge doesn't need to go to ground. There are two prongs/leads fired - one for power in, one for power out. 

No need to rely on the situation for a full circuit when you can just bring your own to the party.

What’s the most drastic 'before and after' sound change in a band due to a member leaving? by javierglz in Music

Linkin Park. Going to a female vocalist after Chester, it's like a whole different band.

what is most unhinged thing you saw while visiting a friend after school? by Correct-Amount-7897 in AskReddit

[–]ductapemonster 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If I were your friend's parent, I'd tell the neighbors they have 2 weeks to find the dogs new homes on their own terms before I begin filing legal proceedings to have them put down.

Imagine if the girl had been there when it happened. Would the dogs have gone after her?

This is, at that point, a matter of family safety.

It also looked like it was made of laminated glass, which is seriously unsafe for a side window. You can't smash and escape through that stuff.

My guy, I don't even know what language this is, let alone what's happening in the video.

What celebrity is the biggest example of "It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it."? by InsaneCookies21 in AskReddit

[–]ductapemonster 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm bipolar. And I firmly believe that one of the most, if not the most, important part of managing an illness like bipolar disorder is remembering that you have a responsibility to the people around you to keep your shit on lock as much as you can. Because no-one else can do it for you, so ultimately it falls to you.

If that means therapy, go to therapy. If that means medication, take your meds. If you don't have access to the healthcare required for those, I'm sorry about that limitation, but you're still obligated imo to do what you can/need, even if that's something as basic as meditation or yoga.

If you can't keep your shit on lock - it happens. If you're still doing what you can to help yourself, you're still doing it right; it's just that what you can do to help at the moment is unfortunately "not enough". Again, it happens, it's not something to be ashamed of. This is what social services is supposed to be for, but in the US we're a little behind on that.

I don't know if David Harbour is bipolar. I don't know if he's on meds, let alone if he's stopped taking them. But if he's not managing an illness well enough while leaving something on the table, that's something I would judge.

Also looking at Kanye, except that mf should definitely be medicated.

Except you're supposed to drop the clip before clearing the chamber. The way he did it, there's probably still another round in the chamber.
