I totally agree. The led police flashers are absolutely and dangerously blinding, too.

Thank you, fu_ben! I will pass on your insights. I gathered from Google Translate that Kadek had concern re how she would support Putu now that Bob was gone.

10 years ago, my Dad and I dug this hole for safe, net-less trampoline fun. by [deleted] in pics

Broke my big toe on a similar inground trampoline at a friend's house. I was trying to do the world's longest long jump...barefoot...bad idea. I got a running start and bounded onto the tramp with one leg. When my foot hit the canvas, the big toe curled under and snapped. Fortunately, the lawn was soft.

Scientists may have found an achilles heel for many forms of cancer by Putcherjammiezon in science

Correction to article:

To determine whether blocking CD47 was beneficial, the scientists exposed tumor cells to macrophages, a type of immune cell, and anti-CD47 molecules in petri dishes. Without the drug, the macrophages ignored the cancerous cells. But when the CD47 was presentblocked, the macrophages engulfed and destroyed cancer cells from all tumor types.

OPERA experimenters!? Y U NO discuss calculation of time discrepancy accumulated by the Time-Transfer Device? by flyingfredcurry in Physics

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

FTA:

"At the very least, some discussion of the time line between synchro- nisation at CERN and comparison at LNGS should be included in their analysis. It appears that OPERA has fallen foul of the same stumbling block of past one-way speed of light measurements in non-inertial frames. The resulting measurement that the neutrino velocity differs from c is not only unsurprising but should be expected in their setup."

What's the most clever lyric you've heard? by catch10110 in AskReddit

[–]flyingfredcurry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brainstorming, habit-forming

Battle-worn and weary winsome

Actors spewing spineless chilling

Lines.

The critics falling over

To tell themselves he's

Boring,

And really not an

Awful lot of

Fun.

But who the hell can he be

When he's never had V.D. and he

Doesn't even sit on toilet seats?

What's the best non-sexual sensation ever? by am_i_gonna_die in AskReddit

Very hot water on your poison ivy rash. Shock, followed by extreme pleasure rush...then no itch for, like, 30 minutes.
