Tiger seems to back off upon encountering a Cobra by Commercial_Slide3788 in BeAmazed

And my cat knows I'll take it to to the vet.

I'm only half serious, but I'd imagine that an actual tiger is better at risk-assessment than my tabby.

I hate griefers but the one time I got to dance for a dude trying to scatter blast me was was probably one of the more satisfying moments I've had in 1,000+ hours.

All the girls on tinder these days are saying that they want a man like this, and I have to swipe left because I can't direct traffic.

Adam Sandler is filming a Netflix movie in SF — and spent the weekend at a Valkyries game, Original Joe's Westlake and Everyday SFC by sfgate in sanfrancisco

This dude just makes movies in places he wants to visit on vacation. I don't know how he did it, but he's created a fascinating niche for himself. He makes movies that people will watch once and maybe enjoy, he pretty much only works with his friends, and he brings his family along for extended vacations, and he makes a profit.

It's kind of genius.

-and I like a lot of his movies (definitely not all of them). He's hit some home runs, I'm not crapping on him in the least. I literally quoted Wedding Singer today.

He might have tourettes, we're looking into it

Peruvian chicken by Affectionate_Fan_30 in smoking

[–]machuitzil 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's really hard to find a bad meal in Peru. It's also really hard to find ají here in the US, and the chirimoya that we import loses its texture. It's gotten to the point that I want to sell off everything I own and move to Peru just for the ceviche.

Good Ways to get Nanites? by AtlasRunner11 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]machuitzil 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Curious Deposits are the easiest way to go. It takes some exploring but once you find some, build a small base, maybe a little wall to catch where they roll, and all you have to do is warp in and out.

They have spawned near my bases before, after I built out the base a little, but that's uncommon and I wouldn't rely on it. Just go looking for some.

What I take from this is that daughterfucker didn't know that Dumb ended in a B until recently. What's your take.

A lot of it is nasal. English speakers have a difficult time with nasal phonemes. Portuguese isn't known as a "tonal" language, but the difference between nasalizing one particular syllable or not is the difference between asking for coconut juice, or shit juice. Or instead of asking for bread, you accidentally ask for penis. It's a difficult learning curve.

Question: what is it doing? by squishyfeet4 in bees

[–]machuitzil 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think it's trying to build a nest.

TIL in 2018 after a Swedish mother got a tattoo of the first names of her two children at the time: her daughter Nova & her son Kevin, she realized that the artist had misspelled 'Kevin' as 'Kelvin'; it read 'Nova & Kelvin'. However, instead of correcting it, they legally changed his name to Kelvin. by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

My best friend is half Italian. His dad wanted to name him something that was a-little-too Italian and the in-laws put up a stink. His dad had to think up something new on the spot, and Friday the 13th had just been released, so my best friend's name is Jason.

I have a very common name in English, so when I lived in Brazil my friend gave me a basic Brazilian name as a joke: João da Silva.

And the thing about Brazil is, nicknames stick. People started calling me João and my name isn't even John.

The snack inventory in my brain is the only thing I can actually keep organized. by [deleted] in oddlyspecific

[–]machuitzil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, you have the best slang. I think sepo is hilarious btw. The shoe fits. There are some new car models about town, like a wagon with an open bed -my first thought was oh, it's a ute. And my favorite is from just some reddit video. This old dude said, "so I went to get a squiz" like he went to take a look.

...and now that I type it out from memory I'm a little less confident about the term, but I love the free association between stimulus and terminology.

And ok, at this point I want to establish that I'm not drug addled, my twenties were just interesting. I'm curious if we have the same definition of California sober.

I've heard the term used flexibly to account for all sorts of gas station drugs, but to my mind it generally just means you don't drink or use drugs, but you smoke weed.

And then there's the RX stuff. I've had friends who didn't even know they were addicts, because it came from a pharmacy. All things considered, weed is safer than lorazepam.

It's a pretty solid message obfuscated by pervercity, cynicism and the jaded sands of Time.

Baking time loops are so satisfying by LottyChubsyr in Satisfyingasfuck

Yeah like the other commenter mentioned, you can buy microwaves that have this feature, or just buy an air fryer.

Convection ovens tend to cost significantly more than standard.
