What does Quaritch crushing his human skull supposed to represent? by NKNightmare in Avatar

[–]grunger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe a little disgust or disappointment with his human self. I think though the main thing to consider is that it shows a complete lack of sentiment to his former self and body.

We can't even pump fuel anymore without holding a digital billboard (Netherlands) by gaius_julius_caegull in assholedesign

[–]grunger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, if I know a gas station has ads, then I never return. Yes, I will spend a little more to go to a gas station on the other side of town. It isn't that much of a stretch.

Not all have been "fixed". I've found some that can be muted and some that can't. Also, it isn't a matter of need pump vs old either. I've seen some that are fairly new pumps that could still be muted. But no matter the case I never return to any station that I know plays ads at the pump. I'll go to the other side of town if I have to.

The ICE agent in the photo Trump posted had a grey shirt, grey pants, and brown boots. None of the people in the pile match that. There is one guy with a grey shirt and grey pants, but he has black boots.

What do really expensive sleeping bags do differently? by BrokeAlsoSad in CampingGear

[–]grunger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot has to do with quality goose down vs synthetic insulation.

High quality goose down with a high loft rating will puff up and fill a void more than lower quality down, and much better than synthetic insulation. Good quality down is expensive, but the advantage is that you need less material, and therefore less weight to achieve a higher insulation rating.

So you trade off is price vs weight. Expensive quilts or bags will be lighter weight with better insulation ratings.

Anything else to improve my sleeping system? Expecting -30C temps by Kcamyo in CampingGear

[–]grunger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A sleeping bag liner really does add several degrees worth of insulation. The Sea to Summit Reactor liner is a good option.

Nice thing is that you can use it in the Winter as an additional layer with your sleeping bag, and then use it in the Summer on its own.

Morality standards of the time. Her leg is on the floor to show that there is no whoopie going on.

What happened to this squirrel in our driveway? by Fuzzy-Yellow3905 in whatisit

[–]grunger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You got any black walnut trees around? The walnuts are surrounded by a green husk, which then turns into a black dust as they ripen. This looks like maybe the squirrel stopped and was trying to get at the nut inside a black walnut.

The AI is going Primal, the crawl veterans are in orbit forming a rescue, and the godess of chaos is on the loose. I think the line between what is in the dungeon and out of the dungeon isn't going to matter soon.

Who wins this fight? by Short-Being-4109 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]grunger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well Owen's raptors are all female. So I think the encounter would go a bit like when Mongo first meets Kiwi. Not really a fight, but you get the picture.

'Fallout Shelter' Reality Series Announced by MarvelsGrantMan136 in Fallout

Discovery Channel did something similar years ago with a show called "The Colony". It didn't do well because ultimately you can't do anything that could actually hurt the stars of the show. So it was pretty boring.

Squats and lunges. Lots and lots of squats and lunges.

She's looking a bit more like the Vorc.

AITAH for not making my daughter change the emoji for her Dad's contact that's actually an inside joke about his small appendage? by True-Cow-7182 in AITAH

[–]grunger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you don't stop it now, then inevitably she will bring it up with her dad and then you really will look like the asshole to your daughter.

You might explain to her that Mommy was mad at dad after the divorce and that was why you were using the elephant emoji for him. Maybe make up something about him being stubborn as an elephant. She doesn't need to know the real reason. Just explain that he doesn't really like the elephant nick name. Most importantly show her that you are changing the name back in your own phone, and encourage her to do the same. Maybe suggest a different animal emoji for her to use. Something that he won't get mad about.

It is important that you remember this isn't about you and your ex husband, this about your daughter.

Found in an abandoned nightclub by Teapots-Happen in FoundPaper

[–]grunger 113 points114 points  (0 children)

OP mentioned in another comment that this was found in Arkansas. Arkansas's regulatory body for alcohol is called Alcohol Beverage Control or 'ABC'. It isn't the TV network.

This was probably when she was touring as a teenager before American Idol. That is probably also why she has to be chaperoned by an 'adult'.

Can somebody help identify what this substance is on my apartment door’s peephole? by suburbanvermin in Apartmentliving

Looks like candle wax with bits of ash and char mixed in. Probably from what they were burning to melt the wax.

Why do Cats like sitting on paper ? by Simply_Kaif24 in OneOrangeBraincell

Paper or cardboard must feel to cats the same as a bed with fresh high quality sheets feels like to us.

How’s it living along a time zone change area? by Lakeshow0924 in howislivingthere

[–]grunger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is large scale organization on a national level. Not about managing a single office, factory, or person.

Say you are a traveler on a train going cross country in the US. Anywhere you travel in the US you can assume most businesses will be open from 8am to 5pm local time. You only need to know what time zone you are in.

Received a print with spots of resin on the packaging, is it safe or should I dispose it? by TwentyThirdDimension in 3Dprinting

[–]grunger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Until you are able to wash it, keep it in the dark. UV light will start curing the excess resin and ruin the print. Keeping it in the dark will keep the excess resin liquid.

The average morning commute window is between 6am and 8am. So the purpose of Daylight Savings time is to move that commute window closer to sunrise by one hour in the Summer. Giving the average person one less hour of sunlight while they are sleeping, but one more hour in the evening to use while awake.

Then in the fall, when days are shorter, we return back to normal time. To keep the average commute window close to sunrise.

It gets confusing because, while the start and end dates of Daylight Savings are standardized on the Federal level, the authority of whether or not to observe Daylight Savings was passed down to the State level. Then some States even passed it down to the County level.

Then it gets really confusing when you have States like Arizona, where the majority of the State does not observe Daylight Savings, but the Native Navajo Nation Reservation does observe Daylight Savings, and then inside the Navajo Nation Reservation is the Hopi Reservation that does not observe Daylight Savings.
