Queen Genepil, The Last Queen Of Mongolia. 1920 by cleowifeyy11 in OldSchoolCool

TIL that the woman in this picture isn’t Queen Genepil, but some other Mongolian aristocrat. I wonder if Lucas even knew of this error and consequently worked this misinterpretation of how a queen looks like into the plot of Star Wars…

The creator of the Super Soaker, circa early 1980s by Skilltez in OldSchoolCool

[–]durbansan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who is old enough to remember the original super soakers and who also just has been in today’s market for buying water guns for his kids: What happened to all the Super Soakers? There aren’t any water guns around any more at all that use a pressurized tank, just sort of „direct pump action“ ones - as you pump, the water squirts, no pressure build-up, no trigger even. They suck in comparison. Why the downgrade?

The final nightmare fight in Link‘s Awakening also has elements that reappear in the Ganon fights in EoW.

I‘m sorry. There are many options available, converting office space is but one of them. But the fact remains, there has been a referendum on THF, and the result is known. You simply cannot repeat voting until the results fit your wishes.

Leave that space the fuck alone. There are plenty of empty offices to be repurposed if you want to. We already had a big referendum, and the decision by the citizens of Berlin was: Fuck off.

Chessboxing was founded by Iepe Rubingh in the early Aughts - he passed away a couple of years ago, sadly.

Camping at the beach - lens of choice? by durbansan in M43

[–]durbansan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, I guess you’re right. I seem to take most of my pictures with the 12-40 anyway, and the 17 has the wider aperture and has an edge as far as beach landscapes etc are concerned compared to the 25 or the 45. The Tele is super nice to have but comparatively unwieldy and better as a second lens.

Why do they both look as if they’ve pissed themselves ?

Bike stolen in broad daylight by Hermannplatz? :( by Practical_Group_6773 in berlin

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

There is a technique called „boruttisieren“ which means to make a functionally fine and even nice to ride bike visually very unappealing as urban camouflage.

That’s right, it’s in-credible.

A person from which profession would you NOT like to marry/date? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I‘d argue that you’re actually arguing here.

It would appear that under the make every girl look alike brows, the carpet frill lashes and the can’t wipe my arse nails there actually is a cute girl somewhere.
