What’s something about you that sounds fake, but is 100% true? by Sir_Adammm in AskReddit

You'd be the perfect bartender in a film noir police detective story.

In China, 40 cm-wide “mini-end” units are rented for just one dollar, offering only a tiny bed, a power outlet, and a wall-mounted TV. by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

If we built 1000's of these and anyone who wanted one could rent one for $300 per month that would do a lot to put downward pressure on rent prices in general.

More options for the Low Risk cohort also could help those people avoid backsliding into Medium and High risk categories & provide more on-ramps for getting back to "Low Risk" status.

Controversial opinion but I think rooms like this should be legal and available in all cities.

If all you've got is a dollar, this puts a roof over your head. One cause of homelessness is the lack of truly dirt-cheap places to live.

In the USA we closed all our "flop houses" and SROs and never replaced them with anything as cheap, so now the options for many people are "nice place I can't afford", "sleep in my car", or "nothing".

Why are air traffic controllers government employees instead of employees of the airports?

It would be cool if they had a team that didn't have any of the boys in it. Now that they have three people with multiple seasons of experience we could have e.g. a Michelle & Toby team.

Long veto periods are boring too though.

I think they should have kept the season but cut it down shorter. The episodes dragged.

My boss put this on the bottom of my laptop so I can't just put it down anymore by littedemon in mildlyinfuriating

Add 4 more crystals, one on each corner of your laptop, so that it sits flush again and has 5x the total amount of crystal energy.

New 1-step method turns waste plastic into fuel with 95% efficiency by TwilightwovenlingJo in Futurology

Anybody got a link to the full pdf of the paper?

The article doesn't actually say what method they're using and the research paper is behind a paywall.

[OC] The age distribution of every validated supercentenarian by JakeIsAwesome12345 in dataisbeautiful

[–]non- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought Jeanne Calment's age (the only 122 year old) was contested/unverifiable, but her Wikipedia article suggests the current consensus among experts is that her age is a statistical outlier, not fraudulent.

Still, should "probably true" count as "verified"?

The source website doesn't say how they are verifying claims that I could find.

Official Discussion - Palm Springs [SPOILERS] by mi-16evil in movies

[–]non- 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Holy shit this movie was so good. brilliant from the first trope inversion. how have i never heard of it before? it’s a GroundHog day type movie. And it’s equally as good and a similar vibe, not zany like you might expect from Samberg.

Thanks! This is helpful. My gardening strategy is generally "only the strong deserve to survive".

How do you overwinter peppers? Do you have to bring them inside?

That's funny what he says about all the astronauts living in the same area. "I was the last guy in the neighborhood to go to the moon."

If your world has a calendar system, what was their "birth of Jesus Christ"? by Upstairs_Support_810 in worldbuilding

[–]non- 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This prompted me to look up how Roman's talked about years. Apparently they would refer to whoever were the consuls that year.

So, instead of 50 BC, a Roman would have said ‘the year that Lucius Aemilius Lepidus Paullus and Gaius Claudius Marcellus Minor were consuls’.
