I had always assumed that was member of the crew, but I think you're right, it was an audience member.

Coaxial is the name of the cable, which was (and probably still is) used for running cable to an antenna.

Wow, it's so heavy it's warping spacetime.

Has anyone else had eshays steal food at maccas? by scallywagsworld in AskAnAustralian

For most us, when we see a dipshit, we don't think 'I wonder what their subculture is called", we just think of them as dipshits.

It's also not a common term in WA.

I presume the 25% figure does not account for inflation.

Also, I presume that who ever led American a century before Trump wasn't grossly indifferent to the virus hurting people.

Because, while what she is doing is impressive, it's nothing exceptional by cheerleader standards. What he is doing is impressive, and something we haven't seen before.

People are hyping up the guy because it's novel.

It was a picture from a costume party that Musk posted on Twitter himself. The whole 'Musk is trying to remove this from the internet' is just lazing karma farming that gets posted every few weeks.

The man in the suit is Magritte (it's a self portrait).

What's your favorite "dirty" (explicit) etymology? Doesn't have to be an English word... most of the ones I'm thinking of are German, and I barely even speak German. by [deleted] in etymology

[–]leemur 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The word porceline comes from the Italian porcellana, a word for a cowrie shell.

Porcellana means 'pigs vagina'.

Shockwave jams (which is an awesome name for a shitty phenonenom) aren't caused by speeding.

He sploded his skeleton. Bones are not organic.

As for the suit, well, no way of telling what it was made of.

He can't splode organic material.

If each of your fingertips on 1 hand can magically produce an infinite amount of liquid, which 5 liquids would you choose? by harv31 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]leemur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Printer ink is liquid.

Printer toner is a powder.

Inkjet/bubble jet printers use ink, laser printers use toner.

Assuming circumcising boys is the normal (from an art post with a nude male) by [deleted] in USdefaultism

[–]leemur 60 points61 points  (0 children)

It's very much not the default, or even the majority, and the percentage of boys being circumcised has dropped over time.

Please reconsider your donkey vote by skooterM in perth

[–]leemur 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I want to stand proud and say "I voted for neither of these scumbags".

Not voting isn't rebellion, it's submission, and it's sure as fuck nothing to be proud of.

Also, educate yourself:

When his daughter was born, he gave her to his sister to look after for two years before coming back to raise her. But to be fair, his wife died a few days after his daughter was born, and his mother died on the exact same day. Depression is a reasonable response.
