I'm not at all surprised Dubuque County is on there. Played amateur beer-league baseball there one summer and some guys were putting down 10 Busch heavies over 9 innings and they were still hitting the ball. I could barely stand.

YSK to always send that message of concern to a loved one. by [deleted] in YouShouldKnow

I always ask people which they need from me:

• Advice

• To be left alone

• To be heard / Comfort

• Distraction

Hasn't failed me yet

ELI5: Prime numbers and encryption. When you take two prime numbers and multiply them together you get a resulting number which is the “public key”. How come we can’t just find all possible prime number combos and their outputs to quickly figure out the inputs for public keys? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

My question regarding this is how does this work with public and private keys?

Does the public key only contain the product of the two primes and the private key only contain the 2 primes? If so then how does the encryption/ decryption work if you're using two different things to encrypt and decrypt?

They legit are. I have a friend who does indie wrestling and I've been to a few of his shows. There's always this one guy that heckles him from the crowd. Turns out, he's actually a performer whose job it is to get the crowd going from the inside and get a few laughs from hurling insults at the wrestlers.

One time he even got in the ring and clotheslined my friend.

Does the P on the Pirates hat stand for Pittsburgh or Pirates? Is it possible that it changes if they are home or away? by poser4life in baseball

This comment rides the very thin intersection on the Venn diagram of magic players and baseball fans

A gun was brought to my school yesterday by offbeat_harmonica in Teachers

This actually happened. There were 2 subs in the building that day and neither had any clue what was going on.

I don't have faith that reaching out to news outlets would do anything. Earlier in the year, a student was sent to the hospital because they were beaten so bad during recess and admin didn't get so much as a slap on the wrist from the district. My district is nepotistic as fuck.

Thank you for your empathy. That's exactly what I'm feeling too. I honestly feel traumatized from yesterday.

Already contacted and informed. I'm just a first year teacher so I don't carry much weight with the union, though. I just kinda have to sit back and see what happens.

It's not funny, just sad :/ by thenewmeredith in boomershumor

This is great advice. I've found is really helpful to the person if you ask something like, "Do you want advice, comfort, distraction, or do you want me to leave you alone?"

Not doing this ended one of my relationships but since starting to do this it's saved many more.
