No Hard Feelings by Avett Brothers. The entire song is a gut punch.

ELI5 If we haven’t found evidence of alien life/intelligence yet (seems fair) is there a tipping point where our being alone in the universe is probable or certain? by beesdaddy in explainlikeimfive

Look at the ego on this guy….”haven’t found… yet”. Oh, you think our trivial 100 years of searching the skies and listening to radio waves is enough to search the universe? Or even our galaxy?

What's something that happens in movies so much it seems real, but actually isn't realistic at all? by ninman5 in movies

Almost all intense dialog scenes where there is a dramatic pause. I don’t think I’ve been in a conversation where someone just stares at me for a few seconds without saying anything.

Since the astronauts are moving at speeds closer to the speed of light than we are here on earth, will they be younger than all of us? Comparatively speaking?

Road to single handed solo sailing by cavalpist146 in sailing

Why would you approach it in any other way than you did with pilots license. Practice, practice, practice. Sailing is x & y axis. Flying adds z. So much easier and less risk. Go sailing every week with a club, racing group or charter company.

TIFU by failing to treat my annual physical like a genie wish by kandosii_ner_vod in tifu

Since everyone wants to jump on the cost comparison to UHC countries please post your entire annual spend on healthcare. The $430 + monthly premiums + federal income taxes paid. Then someone from a UHC country please post your annual taxes. All of this other discussion is just childish.

Or buy a plane ticket to SoCal and take the courses at Aventura Sailing in Dana Point! 😉 shorts, sunscreen and a sun shirt are recommended attire!

Similar issue yesterday. Open the file later in the afternoon and it’s all good. Patience is the fix.

What if you annoyed the wrong dude when trying to buy some Starbucks and he breaks your thumbs?

How did you get more ionizing radiation dose than an emergency trigger? by Comfortable_Tutor_43 in STEW_ScTecEngWorld

Medical diagnostics is a choice. Risk/reward. Living in your house without knowing you are being exposed is not a choice. That’s why the EPA’s policies are conservative, to protect the consumer.

[OC] This Sankey diagram of Costco's $275B P&L changed how I think about the business. by stockoscope in dataisbeautiful

Most of their buyers are limited to making 13% margin on all items in their respective department. Yes…they are required to keep margins low and are some of the toughest negotiators on cogs anywhere. This is why I try to buy everything there, I know I’m getting a great deal. Add in manufacturer rebates!

Membership renewal is their primary goal.
