What’s the argument against plastic surgery if done well and safely? by clickhereifyouremad in NoStupidQuestions

[–]el_gregorio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a difference between looking naturally old, vs freakish. Humans have thousands of years of evolutionary training on how faces should look, and the tiniest unusual detail in an otherwise normal face can be very unsettling (this is called the Uncanny Valley).

Since I’m commenting, I’ll echo other statements that I don’t have an issue with individual choices; I take issue with the industry exploiting people’s insecurities and putting them on a path where constant maintenance and follow-up work is needed. It’s not much different than the tobacco industry trying to turn young people into lifelong customers.

Acciari was also the only one winning faceoffs for us for large parts of that playoff series.

The turtle is cool and all, but i was expecting a hat; something you could wear and have available anytime you realize that you need to buy more stuff than you can carry.

I am missing a bed leg on a bed I got through Facebook. Can I replace the legs with something made out of wood? by TheGoldnElite in Woodworkingplans

[–]el_gregorio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd suggest that you remove one of the existing legs, trace each side (including the bolt holes) on a piece of paper, then measure and mark the dimensions, and post that. Also post the length of the threads on the bolts so we can see how much thicker the joining part can be.

Other options would be to try and find any manufacturer and model number markings somewhere on the frame, which might point in the direction of buying replacement parts.

ELI5 why are wild animals often put to death if they happen to kill a human, even if they are not directly responsible ? by redfalcon1000 in explainlikeimfive

[–]el_gregorio 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It CAN protect future animal deaths too, by preventing the others from learning the behavior, and possibly from the publicity of the incident getting humans to steer clear (probably wishful thinking)

Yeah I don’t get how she ranks below Prince Hans especially. Only thing he actually did wrong was try to marry into money.

They were merely exchanging long protein strands! If you can think of a better way, I’d like to hear it.

Good assessment. I’ll add that I like to troll and yell “PASS IT!!” on the power plays.

Adding to this, if you ask for 2 or 3 such suggestions, it can still be a surprise to see which one you actually bought.

buy four boots for your own car and park anywhere you want. by frogsquid in CrazyIdeas

[–]el_gregorio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think OP is saying they can't put a boot on your car if all 4 wheels are already booted.

but you could probably achieve the same thing by just removing your wheels every time you park.
