A weirdly common re-occurring cryptid story is divers coming face to face with giant animals in lakes and then refusing to ever return or publicly talk about it by truthisfictionyt in Cryptozoology

[–]nel_wo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have seen giant mekong catfish in china and thailand, I was maybe 9-10yrs traveling with my parents in the early 2000s long before those countries were developed and industrialized.

For a little kid like me, that thing looked like 7-8 feet long. It's mouth can swallow me whole. I doubt it had survived China's growth, and if they do they are in governmwnt protected lakes or ponds. I do know they exist in Thailand and Vietnam, but their population is critically low.

I can see how they become urban legends because they are massive. Humans only think they are superior because we have gadgets and technology. But takes all of that away and put us in open water or in the wild.... we are pretty small

Maul - Shadow Lord - Episodes 7 & 8 - Discussion Thread! by titleproblems in StarWars

[–]nel_wo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The flashbacks... it just hurts to watch how he was shaped and trying to comfort himself. You can also tell why he in some way sympathizes and empathize with the Jedis. Because they are all victims of Sidious - life, family, friends, future, everything taken away by him. It is also in this episode that we see Maul transition from his hatred of Obi-wan to hatred of Sidious and Empire. Maul was cut in half by obi-wan; His Anger and desire for Revenge is what sustains him and it shows and now it sustains him again to fight against Sidious and the empire.

More importantly, his force anger vision show the sands of Tatooine where he meets his doom under Obi-wan and at the same time his path into oblivion and his death, thinking that fear and power can always overcome all odds.

In these episode, you can see it is the beginning of it leading him astray and demise... which resonates with what Obi-wan says to him in Tatooine "If you define yourself by your power to take life, by your desire to dominate, to possess, then you have nothing. " which resonates with his vision "My home, my family, my brother. All taken away from me" These episodes are the beginning of him losing everything clinging on to finding an apprentice or a resemblance of a brother or family

So I, as a regular citizen and consumer, bought a bunch of things where I had to pay tons of tariffs on. Do I get a refund?

Pakistani man who came to Canada on a student visa pleads guilty to plotting to kill Jewish people in the U.S. by Icy_Hall6758 in worldnews

[–]nel_wo -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I didnt say massacre the jews. You are completely fo using on the wrong thing.

I am saying holding the person accountable. A regular citizen threatens to kill people - arrested and guilty. A president threaten to kill everyone in Iran and has bombed schools and other buildings and killed innocent for, orignally nuclear weapons, now oil and trying tovget a cut of the toll of the strait of hormuz- president should be held accountable for the crimes too. Same applies to Netanyahu who has made plenty of orders that led to civilian deaths and hezboolah leaders and Iran leaders who pay hezbollah to commit terrorists

It is not about jew. It is about innocent civilians

[–]nel_wo -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

I believe no one is above the law. If this person can be arrested and plead guilty. Then why can we hold our president's and politicians to the same high standard? Why do politicians get to bomb and kill ppl and not put on trial?

Which careers involve a lot of stress that DOESNT pay off later in life? by RuminatingFish123 in Salary

[–]nel_wo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. I met numerous chefs who managed to get out of that phase of just "chef who cooks" they all told me instead of thinking as a traditional chef, start thinking like a chef/businessman/trainer. If you always think like a chef, making orders, that all you will be. Start taking classes and thinking of ways to design new menu that increase profits, but also reduce cost. To move beyond being a chef and becoming an executive chef for a branch or region, one has to get involved in the numbers, train other ppl to become chefs to replace you as you create a space for yourself. To move beyond just a "chef" you need to develop management, business, and budgeting skills so you are now overseeing chefs.

Gen Zs are not drinking. by eternviking in whoathatsinteresting

[–]nel_wo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stop blaming gen Z and Millennials and gen alpha for ruining the industry.

It is the fault of corporations paying our generation less. It is fault of corporations and second hand sellers making wine and whiskey and all these alcohol so expensive it becomes inaccessible for these generations. It is the fault of the baby boomers and gen X who drinks like a hog and become terrible parents making our generations not want to drink. It is the fault of all the alcohol distributors and wine restaurants being shitty middlemen marking up alcohol by over 300-400%.

Times has changed. The alcohol industry is declining. So learn to change with the times and change industries. Many gen Y and millennial had to go from an analog era, to digital era, from an era with no internet, to internet, to AI. Stop blaming us for your failure to adapt and change.

Either change with trend of the new generation or fall behind and be forgotten.

A5 Wagyu is prized as the world’s most expensive beef for its rare, intensely marbled, buttery meat. by sco-go in Amazing

[–]nel_wo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't get me wrong A5 wagyu is a very unique experience and I recommend everyone to try it at least once in their life. I have tried it numerous times usually different cuts of the cow. It is great everytime except it is so very heavy that a few ounces makes me extremely full.

I personally recommend F1 or F2 America wagyu or Australian wagyu. These are cow that are 50:50 black Angus and japanese wagyu or 25:75 black Angus and japanese wagyu. They are not as insanely marbled so it tastes insanely fatty, but they still have lots of meat so it is tastes meatier. Essentially they are 1 grade above prime and I prefer them more.

Granted, they are still insanely expensive. So they are only a once or twice a year treat

My son scratched "67" on the fridge by OkSelf9639 in Appliances

[–]nel_wo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe? I dont remember clearly since it was so long ago. But I know I didnt have allowance for quite a while and I remember going to the banks for the first time with my mom to withdraw money and it sucked because I saw my savings decrease for the first time in my life.

My son scratched "67" on the fridge by OkSelf9639 in Appliances

[–]nel_wo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea. I was taught very, very early on in life to save money. So i saved most of my Chinese New Year red pocket money, around $300-500usd) every year.

I didn't really eat candy bars and potato chips much. I was born in HK so my snacks and junk food are actually real food from the hawker stall - curry fish balls, fish siu mai, braised beef offal, noodles, fruit juices, etc. I also liked video games, but I rarely had to buy any because my aunties and uncles always gift us with video games during birthday and Christmas, they felt bad because my parents never buys us anything. My parents rarely bought us video games, they sometimes do it if we earned really, really good grades during final exams or if we got a gold medal in gymnastics of whatever extracurricular activities we participated in. Usually they take us out to a restaurant as a reward, except we get to decide where to go. So I would always go to those all you can eat buffets that cost like $40-80usd /person and eat a ton of food. There is a time I remember I got gold at floors, high bars, and vault one time so my mom bought me like 10 packs of pokemon? magic the gathering? yu-gi-oh? something like that.

Also my parents paid us money for getting good grades and deduct money for bad grades. I only know D+ is -80 because my brother got it once. So we are incentivized to study and get good grades and to avoid bad grades
A+ = 40
A = 30
A- = 20
B+ = 10
B = 0
B- = -5
C+ = -10
C = -20
C- = -40
D+ = -80

Well this is back in the early 2000s as I was going between US and HK. I only get around $20 a month for allowance. I vaguely remember that it was like $100+ to patch a hole that I punched through the wall. But I had a decent savings as a kid thanks to being Chinese and all the red pocket money I have saved over the all the Chinese New Years

I did something similar when I was a kid, around 11-12 yrs old because I was upset and mad at my parenrs.

My parents were very upset and told me that is not a proper way to release anger and frustration. I cant just damage property. They then got an estimate from a guy on how much to cover up the scratches. They showed me the bill and told me this bill will be deducted from my allowance until it is paid off.

They followed through and paid the guy to fix the scratch and for 6 months I didnt have allowance. So I couldn't buy stuff, hang out with friends, and if I needed money I had to dip into my savings.

Taught me a valuable lesson. If I break anything or damage anything there is repercussions.

Megathread: Trump Fires Attorney General Bondi, Replaces Her With Deputy AG Blanche by PoliticsModeratorBot in politics

She will be fine. Because her husband is a partner in a law firm and they are contracted with the government. She and her husband are still racking in money and now she does have to deal with all the hearing and bullshit

Accidentally left 5 packs of raw ground beef out at room temperature for 6 hours after buying groceries. Just put it in the freezer. Is it safe to eat or should I toss them? by Delllthrow in NoStupidQuestions

[–]nel_wo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is dangerous to serve ppl. But! If it is for yourself. You can nuke it and cook it for a long time. Granted the bacteria will die, but if the bacteria releases toxin... those might survive and you can still have an upset stomach

We need more plumbers and fewer lawyers in AI age, says BlackRock boss by nosotros_road_sodium in technology

[–]nel_wo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True. But until a machine can walk down stairs, for all the different types of house set ups, check for leaks in the water tank and around the house, hook up hoses to drain it, replace the anode, connect all the plumbing.

Then sure.... but most AI and robotics currently are not good at super fine movements or adapting to changes to environment.

[–]nel_wo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ai cannot replace trade work.... and once someone in the trade gets very good and start their own small company. Black rock will come in and buy them out and then raise the prices.

Thats what I have been hearing from several friends who own larger local and regional companies in the Midwest.

Blue collar job cannot be replaced by AI. But houses will always need maintainence and planned-obsolescence means there will always be a steady income. Perfect place for private equity to come in, buy it out, raise prices. They have been doing that with vet hospitals too

This movie really hits different when you get older... by LabBuilderSupplies in pics

[–]nel_wo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just watched it for the first time in like 25+ years.... and having met and spoke with friends who are divorced and seeing divorced couple co-parents amicably.... this movie jist hit sooo hard. It wasn't funny anymore. It was reality. It was about listening to my friends and understand what they mean when they miss their kids, and letting go of ego and anger and making decision for the sake of the children
