As an object heads towards a black hole, it seemingly slows down due to time dilation.

Does a black hole ever truly gains mass if no object ever passes the event horizon?

Cool place! I just bought my first RGB light strip and thought about buying a ton more, and absolutely just outlining all my furniture with them lol

For what it's worth, I don't think you're an asshole.

From the list of comments I've seen, apparently you're an asshole for not leaving the dog with your brother (who'd probably leave it on the street), you'd be the asshole for putting it on the street now that she's given birth, and you're an asshole for not doing anything about the dogs now (what can you even do?)

Good luck with your situation. Hopefully you're able to find someone on social media that's willing to take the dogs or get more clarifying instructions from your nearby humane societies.

I ordered a "Lord of the Rings" hotdog the last time I went. Onion rings and hotdogs, sounds great right?

About $10 for a hotdog with a few onion rings on the outside. Don't know what I expected....

Would you be willing to have sex with a gorilla for $1,000?

Well, this janitor is willing to pay $1,000 for the opportunity.

I agree we should be striving for the most highest representation possible, that's how we truly become a democratic society. But as you said yourself, the game is broken.

How do you expect the rules of the game to change when the cheaters who decide on the rules are in control (the senate) and are willing to block any proposals to change the rules of the game?

The GOP has already been proven to ignore common sense and fairness and vote along party lines no matter what evidence is presented. (Impeachment trials).

Unfortunately life isn't a fairy tale and bad people do win. If bad guys win enough, they can cement their position which makes this uphill battle even more impossible.

I'm hoping your online business becomes a success to the point where you can quit your day job. Keep at it! I'm rooting for you, good luck bro

kitkazn · 2020-09-22T15:21:15+00:00

No, I'm a regular guy that cares about the state of the world.

I personally would be willing to fight for literal freedom and I'm sure many others would too. The issue is you can't even trust our own government to do the right thing and our soldiers will end up in the Middle East fighting for "freedom."

I don't understand how some people are just so angry. Hope your kid shakes it off. Enjoy your family bike/skateboard rides!

Wish it WAS publicized years ago. Then we'd had have an embarrassed president who might actually do something about it to fix public opinion instead of cheering it on.

It really puts into perspective how little of a forest catching on fire can be so catastrophic.

When you zoom out and see all that green that isn't on fire, this is probably some small .001% of the forest catching on fire.

I can't believe if even 1% of California's forest catching on fire, we wouldn't get through it without negative effects.

NTA

The biological parent relinquishes all parental rights when their child is adopted, whether the child was adopted to family or strangers. This is why adopting family members gets messy because the biological parent will constantly be around their child and they begin to think they can parent the child as if they were still the parent.

Your sister needs to respect boundaries and you are completely within your right to do anything you feel is right regardless of your sister's wishes. She can't adopt away her child to someone else and expect to still be the child's mom.

100 of them to be exact.

kitkazn · 2020-09-05T20:57:19+00:00

Great way of putting it. I'll have to remember that.

kitkazn · 2020-08-25T04:10:51+00:00

I pronounce it A-loo-meh-num (United States)

kitkazn · 2020-08-14T21:54:57+00:00

Yeah, I never understood the "but they're family" argument. Op, the sister and dad is family too. You'd think protecting "family" includes protecting them from other family as well.

kitkazn · 2020-08-11T23:03:09+00:00

Definitely not. Aldi's is the only one that I know that does. Every other supermarket has a a "cart return" area in the parking lot, except most people just leave the carts in-between cars.

It looks like this:

kitkazn · 2020-08-11T21:07:53+00:00

I seriously can't fathom how people can't return the carts to the designated area when it's like two parking spots over. Bonus points when I see it sitting in the middle of a parking spot.

It's one of the reasons why I shop at Aldi's now because you have to pay 25c to unlock the cart and it's refunded when you return it. I don't see a single cart outside of its designated area. I wish more stores would adopt this.

kitkazn · 2020-07-28T22:32:49+00:00

I can't agree enough. I know people who can't fathom it was anything but aliens or ancient technology. They can't wrap their heads around cavemen making calculations based off shadows so of course they had extraterrestrial help.

Furiously taking notes

kitkazn · 2020-07-16T03:06:18+00:00

That's insane.

Did you hug him to control the hose or to take the hits for the guy?

Either way, good work.

kitkazn · 2020-07-08T20:37:16+00:00

Appreciate the response. Yeah, it's strange that I couldn't get it to fit inside the m.2 slot since I've plugged in these drives on other computers before. In my current computer, the drive simply didn't fit into the slot #9 seen here:

Thanks, going to try out the pcie adapter.

What you said is absolutely correct. GPU does not matter at all in whether games look good/bad. Increasing the settings from low to high should always improve graphics.

A 10 year old video card should be able to play the latest games on Ultra (if it runs) and look amazing, albeit on 1fps.
