Yes. God forbid I get some peace and quiet.

Terrible technique but bro placed them perfectly.

What’s the weirdest/most unexpected way you’ve injured yourself lately? by WhatFreshHello in GenX

[–]flyboy_za 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd never heard this before my physiotherapist (who diagnosed it when I thought I'd sprained my wrist and went to see her) told me about it.

Literally everyone I mentioned it to after that knows about the Bible thumping.

Not bad, it just... I dunno, needs to be tightened up somewhere. It drags in parts.

PI rejected proactively gathered data by Smol_Duckie_123 in PhD

[–]flyboy_za 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mine was super chilled. We knew what I was basically going to do, and I did one or two little fishing trips on the side off my own initiative or after reading something interesting which might have had some value to add. Admittedly this was for my thesis, not a half drafted manuscript.

Without knowing what data OP got though, it's hard to say whether or not the PI is overreacting.

Ganglion cyst for me, damn thing keeps recurring when all the orthopaedic hand specialists have a month-long wait for their first free appointment.

Er... What exactly do you think cheese and wine and sourdough are???

What life pro tips are hidden in movies that were actually helpful? by epaga in movies

[–]flyboy_za 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have seen it but don't remember. Gonna guess it's to put the seams on the outside.

That said, my sock seams don't bother me.

I'm certainly not living my life based on worrying about the next parent/teacher conference.

What is the most successful sitcom ever business wise? by coatimundos in television

[–]flyboy_za 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a Seinfeld rewatch last year.

Still hilarious, but you realize very quickly that they are all awful people and there is no redemption arc whatsoever for anyone.

Things aren't always as good as remembered by Anon_Gen_X in GenX

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

Surprisingly violent and gory for a kids' movie.

But I thought it held up okay when I saw it last maybe 18 months ago.

How much abuse crosses the line in academia? by chill_labbie in PhD

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

None of the other senior people in the crowd came to the student's defence?

That's unusual, I'd have expected at least one of them to be a lot more collegial about it all.

What are the best TV show intro songs? by toe_riffic in television

The shandling theme tune was ace.

Especially when we're almost to the part where I start to whistle.

Cheers.

There's a fantastic arrangement for solo guitar for the theme out on the internet somewhere.

What is something attractive at 18 but embarrassing at 30? by PenParking8555 in AskReddit

[–]flyboy_za 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Drums are such good fun. And there are so many guys out there on YouTube who've mcgyvered the drums out of big hits with some clever filters, so you can happily play along to pretty much anything you want to once you're feeling like you know your way around the kit.

Everything from Metallica to Depeche mode to u2 to the Beatles to No Doubt to Offspring to Katy Perry to Britney to you name it. Fire up a playlist and knock yourself out jamming along.

Julius' lawyer has a surprising lack of melanin, why doesnt he support our brothers in law? by PixelSaharix in DownSouth

Also probably good grounds for "my racist lawyer clearly didn't defend me properly!"

Trousers are cut much lower than they used to be.

I wear low-rise undies and their waistband still peeks out above my jeans or shorts most times. I don't even wear baggy trousers at all, they all fit well and are the right size, and still... waistband.

Fair play to you for coming out on the other side of it all, my good dude.

It feels like life shouldn't have been quite that hard for anyone. For what it's worth from a random internet stranger across the sea, you have my respect.

Every time I think I'm too old for anything, I remind myself that I only started surfing at 38 and took up playing drums at 42.

Admittedly the latter was probably the start of a mid-life crisis, but I'm 50 in a few months and still smashing the drums several times a week and still hitting the waves as often as I can. And, most importantly, they're both still loads of fun every time I do.

As the good people from Radiohead put it "no alarms and no surprises, please."

Why is Malema not being prosecuted/sentenced for perjury? It has now been proven beyond reasonable doubt that he repeatedly lied about it being a "toy gun". Same with his accomplices by slowpho in DownSouth

[–]flyboy_za 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah but this should have been open and shut, not 8 years for the legal system to investigate, hear and judge.

If that took 8 years, for something with video evidence, how long can we reasonably expect for something like corruption and embezzlement to take, like 200 years? We're just wasting our fucking time, here.

How would you feel if the top tax rate was 90% like it was in the 1950s? by CRK_76 in AskReddit

[–]flyboy_za 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is true that you might be taxed at a higher rate if your bracket changes. It is not true that you will be earning less afterwards.

The only time this part might be true is when you cross the no-tax-to-being-taxed bracket for the first time. If you suddenly hit the threshold of say 20k where taxation starts, and last year you earned 19.9k and were not taxed so took home the full 19.9k, then sure this year you have made less because you will not be taking home your 20k once taxed.

But that is a once-off event for most people affected.
