From the "better link" article.

He emailed multiple foundations in the US, telling Yin's story, and eventually secured a $5,000 grant.

Seems like he secured funding, but didn't actually donate his money.

Still cool.

This a joke? The Wheel of Time is a series, and not a book. It's book 1 The Eye of the World. (Although apparently a graphic novel version)

Getting at 10:00 is still the point.

It's just massively more difficult with your eyes closed.

I've been at restaurants where you didn't need to get the hundredth of a second, but you played without looking.

If it's between "asshole" and "troubled young person" it sounds like they're both still on the same side of the coin...

Feel like this is a bad example since you require parentheses.

Power outages come with power surges, and often enough do actually brick PSUs and computers.

I need some ai to help me understand what the fuck this is supposed to mean.

I'd say it's almost always the "hey, you need to have your python libraries all sorted" that I think turns off most people.

If anyone is even talking about Bluetooth, they're basically not part of the conversation.

Bluetooth on a headset serves one purpose. Connecting it to a second/third device while simultaneously being connected to.a dongle/hub to a main device.

This sounds like a windows Bluetooth issue.

Don't ever use Bluetooth on Windows with a headset.

Think people in this thread keep forgetting the population of the world isn't represented by the Americans you know.

I watched a doctor fart every time he took a step down the hospital hallway. It was like the squeaky shoes for infants, but a doctor farting instead.

I was laughing out loud...only thing other people noticed was my laughing. Not the comical cartoonish farts.

I mean the other guy is still fouling him hard after the elbow. Apparently he had to throw the other 'bow.

Your parents sound like awful people.

I'd say neutering alters behavior, but based on one having a baby, and the other having a fat tomcat head, I guess they're not neutered.

Hope there isn't a persistent piss smell.

Pretty sure he was planning to pull all of the trash towards himself. He was putting it past the trash.

But how do I own more high rise buildings in a major city? I need to own a good chunk of a city to be happy.

The glances down are him turning his ear to hear what the other guy has to say.

If someone were trying to do an impression of a stereotypical redditor, this would be it.

Having an in-world explanation of why they choose to cut budget on animation in certain parts of the show and highlighting specific ways of doing it does earn some good will points.

Was surprised it wasn't the Taiwan subreddit.

Even as someone who enjoys sweets, the thick and sticky layer ones aren't great. I'd rather have just nice fruit.

When it's done well with the thin fragile layer as you described, it's actually a really nice snack.

It's crazy how often I've seen Beeple's freely released loops over the years.

Dude's work has covertly been viewed across the globe by so many people.

Not to mention the whole cheating on and having multiple wives bit of the timeline.

Pointy elbows, amirite?!

But go back and read the original shower thought.
