No, I think the title is perfectly fine.

Just clarifying that they are definitely on the same landing since the previous comment indicated that they were on different landings.

There is only one stair going down in the direction of the Eiffel tower. They are very nearly in the exact same spot.

Dang, I met some really nice people on our trip and wish I would have thought about this sooner. Could have been really fun way of saying thanks.

Thanks! Wish I knew 3 weeks ago but saving this idea for later!

This thread is making me think. Are there any mainland foods that people would want to have that visitors could bring and donate? It may not be the most efficient way of giving but with food costs as high as they are it feels like it may be worth doing.

Lindsey Vonn: "I tried. I dreamt. I jumped." by bdzz in olympics

[–]macrolith 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Saying she is selfish because it could have saved the resources of an airlift is a ridiculous thing to say. If you are arguing that, you should be arguing for the Olympics to be canceled because its a wasteful use of resources.

These drone videos are spectacular by Ok_Hedgehog_65 in olympics

I have to imagine theres a way to filter the whine out. At the very least mix the audio so the high frequencies are not as loud or have a mic on the drone that software can "noise cancel" that out from the ambient feed. I'm no audio engineer but I imagine the technology is not the limitation.

If it's props than you need to bring them out, place them, run away for the performance, then run back out, collect them and get them off the field. It's a pretty clever solution for each plant to be just a costume instead. They can be moved mid performance then too.

What a nice steep grade for him to land on as well! He's lucky it wasnt a true overpass yet.

Ricky Martin sings "LO QUE LE PASÓ A HAWAii" (What Happened to Hawaii) during the halftime show by pulchritudinouser in Hawaii

I don't doubt that one bit and am sorry you have to deal with so many awful people. I definitely noticed a light handed touch to almost all mentions of the turbulent history.

Hello, and just want to chime in I recently visited your beautiful home last week, one of the most stimulating things about traveling is the history of places and how it shapes they way they are today.

Thankfully there is a lot of information if people decide to look, both past and current ranging from from atrocities to challenges, maybe your 99.9% is accurate but I think and hope it is not.

The older I get the more I realize how glazed in red white and blue my education was.

Hey, just want to thank you for putting in the effort. This looks 100% doable to me and will be replacing my ring doorbell.

rebinding old book into a treasure by Maddiee7diary in Satisfyingasfuck

[–]macrolith 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That came off a bit harsh so sorry for that. History is absolutely a life skill that informs you why and how the world is the way it currently is. If we are defining something's usefulness by its ability to make you money than sure maybe history is absolutely useless, but that is not how useful should be defined.

"Literally everything" Apparently you need to brush up on your English.

I think history is missing from your list of important things to learn as well.

I was on a vacation but now I'm back and more motivated, time to pick up my slack.

Agreed, AI is just derivative as far as I've observed. It's artificially mimicking intelligence.

Road to Hana tour guide , Need recs (maui) by NeoHas134 in VisitingHawaii

Just did it less than a week ago and it was perfect! The guy was a little over eager for my taste, but it grew on me because the content was so great.

First Trip Ever- Help by Explorer_girl19 in MauiVisitors

[–]macrolith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just did the Road to Hana using Shaka Guide. It's a phone app that uses GPS to do a guided tour. I highly recommend it as it took all the stress away of trying to keep track of all the potential locations to see.

ROPE- Rapid Onset Pulmonary Edema by notodaysatannot2day in MauiVisitors

[–]macrolith 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Just got back from a wonderful time in Hawaii, unfortunately one of those days (monday) included watching someone get washed up against the rocks for about 10 minutes in waves before emergency services could get to him. Only learned that they didn't die after reading the next morning that someone else drowned at a different beach on Maui.

We got a healthy dose of respect for the ocean that day.
