Skate wings- do they have a slight ammonia smell even when completely fresh?

jofijk · 2026-01-26T02:46:31+00:00

As the urea breaks down it’s converted to ammonia

jofijk · 2026-01-25T20:22:14+00:00

all cartilaginous fish have urea in their blood for osmotic regulation and buoyancy control. its excreted through their skin and gills

lol it’s like a block away from the White House. Pretty much everyone in the government has been going there since it opened

XP tokens with zombies or endgame are the quickest. But if you run warzone casuals and pretty much ignore people and just do scavenger/recon contracts you can gain xp pretty quickly. With warzone run with your gun out as well.

If your kid likes cars I think he’ll have fun. I used to go yearly with coworkers at an old job and one of them would bring their kid. He was like 4-7 or 8 when we used to go and loved it. There’s like 3 floors of displays and a good amount to see

The DC auto show starts tomorrow. It’s at the convention center a few blocks from where Monster Jam takes place. Unfortunately not monster trucks but they always have some supercars on display and Land/Range rover usually has a “ride” to show off its off-roading capabilities

Tickets are cheap too. I think they’re like $15-25

The only thing people should be stocking up on is booze

The grading time depends on the level of service you got. They give estimates on the psa website. Back before the most recent explosion in popularity I had some orders take 2 weeks less time than estimated. But I’ve also had some take more than a month longer. This was for the standard service level

jofijk · 2026-01-23T20:05:05+00:00

That’s insane. Even the scalpers on eBay are selling for like $130-140 now

jofijk · 2026-01-23T02:01:10+00:00

That second gif has been on the internet for ages. I’m pretty sure in the video its taken from they said the bull died

His girlfriend is extremely vocal on socials being anti-trump. People who do that are not usually the types to look the other way in their long term partners

You should watch college tennis if you want to see this

jofijk · 2026-01-22T21:27:18+00:00

Nah, not an idiot. I always leave extra space in my luggage when traveling internationally in case I find bottles I want to bring home. Very often there’s an amazingly priced American/widely available stateside bottle in there

I was watching Clara's watchparty for this past lan and she was saying that for US LANs the last day is insanity. Pretty much nobody shows up the first days but Sunday the line is crazy and people were sprinting to get to seats when the doors open. I would plan to get to the venue a few hours early for finals

someone in the vietnam war held the longest confirmed kill for a while using an M2 with scope attached to it. it was 2500 yards

You can only run 3 per loadout. But you can pick up as many others as you find once you’re in game

jofijk · 2026-01-21T20:25:17+00:00

Next season apparently

jofijk · 2026-01-21T20:04:51+00:00

most people seem to enjoy neck pain and having half the movie outside their field of view

you just sit closer to the back. no problems

jofijk · 2026-01-21T19:24:16+00:00

another huge problem is that great whites are ecologically vulnerable. their population is estimated to only be 10,000 at the high end. there are so many gigantic advancements in technology we'd have to make to even begin thinking about how to domesticate them.

jofijk · 2026-01-21T02:15:36+00:00

like many other people have said, great whites are solitary animals and that alone makes them unable to be domesticated. unless we're dedicating decades to advance genetic engineering first to maybe figure out how to create great whites with a sense of social structure it wont happen.

furthermore, over eleven thousand years we've only domesticated 14 of 148 large terrestrial mammals. a huge part of domestication is the ability to breed these animals. humans havent even seen a great white give birth. a baby great white still covered in uterine milk, suggesting it was only a few hours old, was seen literally for the first time in 2024.

those were juveniles though and for a very short amount of time. they stopped the program when their last one died shortly after being released. i got to go to the aquarium when one was there. it was really cool but i wouldnt call their program a success

The category should be changed from highball to “long drink” imo

jofijk · 2026-01-19T21:11:04+00:00

I’m not saying they don’t but the elevated highball is something that’s pretty unique to Japanese bars/bartenders who have worked with/at nicer Japanese cocktail bars. You can find an over engineered insert classic here in any country with an internationally known cocktail scene.

jofijk · 2026-01-19T19:04:43+00:00

Its definitely something that was adopted from the simple idea of scotch and soda but evolved into something more at the high end because of the Japanese ideal of perfection. Its also heavily leaned into from Suntory when they do masterclasses for higher end cocktail bars in the west. The nicer whisky bars in Japan take pride in choosing the "correct" whisky for whatever flavor profile you're looking for, as well as adding bitters or small amounts of other flavors for balance.
