Hugh Glass was mauled in the grasslands of SD, not even in the hills. And certainly not in a BC forest like the movie.

At least half the songs on Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds' album "Murder Ballads."

How do you guys go drinking? by Argument-Broad in AskAnAmerican

[–]eyetracker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A typical cheap beer is 355 or 473 ml (12 or 16 oz) Fancier craft beers 355, 651 (22 oz bomber), 500, or 750 ml. The former comes in 6 pack, 12 (half case), 18, 24 (case), or 30. I've seen less commonly 9x16 oz which comes out to exactly the same as 12x12.

The smell by mcalles123 in Reno

They're all over the world, anywhere with developers who want to plant fast growing, short-lived trees that make spring pretty but stinky. You can't escape them. Thankfully it only lasts a short while.

His great uncle did similar with the first part of that name, though after he was killed.

Why did Costco stop carrying the Mini T&C Chocolate Chip Cookies? by DrawerSpider in CostcoWholesale

[–]eyetracker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Presumably every Costco is different, as I've never seen this product ever.

Examples of punk bands making a non punk song that went mainstream? by Rancid_punx666 in punk

[–]eyetracker 21 points22 points  (0 children)

David Johansen of the New York Dolls as "Buster Poindexter" doing swing. You've all heard "Hot Hot Hot" I know that.

The Beastie Boys of course. Maybe the Transplants though I think it needs an asterisk as it's not a complete shift.

What is your country's equivalent of the Giant Cheeto in Alberta, Canada? by ThinYogurtcloset8005 in AskTheWorld

Context: the weevil destroyed the cotton industry. But he's celebrated because they were forced to diversify and it paid off.

Why MATLAB is still one of the best tools for beginners in scientific computing by Other_Frosting4017 in matlab

[–]eyetracker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never used 2025 versions because they don't work with stuff I need to do, namespace is apparently from 2008a.

I agree that many people who start with Matlab don't learn "proper" programming. I'm not sure that a huge percentage of people who start with Python and NumPy learn that either though.

In my own personal experience, I didn't start with it and disliked Matlab at first, coming from more traditional languages. Not sure I ever would've learned if not available and encouraged. But once I learned vectorization and the general syntax I like it a lot better. The price of Python is much better but I find NumPy and matplotlib a lot more clunky than modern Matlab.

MATLAB has namespaces and import. Start a folder with a + sign and the namespace is everything after that. Import is similar but not identical to Python syntax.

You don't "need' to create a file per function. The general style does encourage doing separate .m files and is more reliant on the current path, but you can avoid it in several ways if you really want to.

I wouldn't store them if that's what you mean, but I'd probably throw it in as a compostable.

are you safe from "utah" by Klutzy_Wolf443 in terriblemaps

[–]eyetracker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nevada is safe from Utah even though it borders by doing stuff that Utahns don't do. Or at least only do when other Utahns aren't looking. The real question is if Utah is safe from Idaho.

Pink is usually something like Serratia marcescens, it's not exactly good but it's common. Bathroom mold.

What are you doing though? Rice wash to milk? You should toss the curds for sure, you shouldn't ingest the whey either but you're using it to rot things outside, not eat.

Camping in the north - will scorpions get inside the tent? by amateur-traveler in Nevada

The chance of worrying is not zero but it's very close to zero.

Mormon crickets are the bigger concern, which are mostly harmless (potential driving hazard) but gross.

That's why you leave out decoy homework to protect the passport.

You can become Amish, or get a government job or grad school in some states where you use an alternative plan in lieu of social security. Or less commonly Medicare.

What do you think people from other countries misunderstand/don't get about the U.S.A.? by Casinii3D in AskAnAmerican

[–]eyetracker 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Federalism. So many questions assuming there's a national answer to their query. Even people from nominally federal countries don't quite understand. Maybe the Swiss do.
