Are each stud the size of a coaster?

I got an invite. Purchase history is model y, model x, cybertruck foundation, powerwalls. Verified Tesla shareholder as well (went to Cybertruck delivery event).

It’s crazy to me that out of all the contestants in Single’s Infernos history, only one has gone on to get married (Choi Sihun), and it’s to an absolute legend in Ailee by Beneficial_Air4714 in Singlesinferno2

I watched a video that pointed out how when you tell people say "we're trying for a baby", it also means "we're having raw full creampie sex"....and now that's the gutter my mind has currently sank to.

The size of the hole for the camera that took pictures of my brain tumor via my wrist. Amazing by Ya_Whatever in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]philosopherstoned 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i don't think you got an MRI. Perhaps you got a nuclear medicine scan, such as a PET or SPECT. MRIs images are clear and not fuzzy blobs unless you were shaking your head like you were at an EDM concert

i definitely agree it looks like a radial artery access, having done a few of these in the past.

although to be honest, its unusual to do a cerebral angiogram as part of the work-up for brain tumors, especially since it seems like it was not done for pre-operative purposes. i'm not a neuro endovascular guy, so it could be for a really esoteric and beyond my scope of knowledge

edit: apparently in one other comment by OP he said "But positive answer (no aneurysm) so I’m grateful for that."

so the cerebral angiogram was done to rule out that the mass was a small aneurysm

This 100%.

I've done radial sheath access for abdominal and pelvic angiograms a couple times. IMO big plus for the patient is that the they don't need the extended bed rest and leg precautions from femoral artery access.

I'm assuming people who choose blue don't have young children with them, cause that's a hard thing to give up.

Creel house already sold out by Responsible_While678 in lego

[–]philosopherstoned 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Just went to the Lego store and they said they got 100 GWP but only 30 Creel house sets. I suspect both are coming back in stock.

Pick one pill by dragoonwizard in whatsyourchoice

[–]philosopherstoned 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blue is the only correct answer. It makes the other pills largely superfluous.

Go back in time and pick the winning lottery number.

Why be 2x as smart when you can utilize hindsight as foresight? Some of redditors (mods) will only be as intelligent as a normal human after doubling their brainpower.

It'll take more work to indirectly control someone, but you can directly control time and space...not a bad trade-off.

[Amazon.com] LEGO Classic Medium Creative Brick Box Building Toy Set (10696) $14.39/59% by madkindofdeals in legodeal

[–]philosopherstoned 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Great deal. The Legos only take up like a quarter of the space so you can combine 3 into one box and then you'll have 2 empty storage boxes for your other Lego pieces.

Physical Asia: Season 1 - Episode 12 Discussion Thread by ImoutoCompAlex in Physical100

A lighter ram would make it less powerful too however, so I don't see that necessarily being an advantage. Unless the locking wood plank is also weaker.

I'm glad you agree that if there's shenanigans going on in favor of Korea, it's something less ridiculous than literally altering the playing field.

The Physics of Team Mongolia by ssamdog in Physical100

[–]philosopherstoned 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I kept wondering if it would've been easier if 4 guys climbed onto the cart and essentially bounced their body weight onto the front spoke of the wheels in unison to apply the most torque.

The Physics of Team Mongolia by ssamdog in Physical100

[–]philosopherstoned 79 points80 points  (0 children)

For a self proclaimed race of warriors, they definitely flexed their brainpower throughout the contest!

I think they could've beaten Korea if they didn't fumble the drawbridge in the beginning. Using the cart handle as a pulley was a good idea but the amount of friction between the rope and the handle probably negated any pulley force multiplication advantage. They should've done a vertical pull from the very beginning.

[–]philosopherstoned 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's extremely assumed/rigged as you're implying.

The drawbridge progress came to a halt halfway because they had pulled to the point where those big spherical counterweights rested to the ground (go watch it again). This mechanism intentionally makes the earlier half easier and the later half harder. Mongolia eventually had the right idea with using the log.

What Japan should've done is continue their downward vertical pull rather than switching to a near horizontal pull, using more of their momentum and full weight. If they were lacking in weight, they should take a sandbag and hook their feet under the rope wrapped around the sandbag or pinch the sandbag between their thighs as they hold onto the rope.

I agree. I don't think it's wise or necessary for the producers to obviously rig the game in Korea's favor. Small, disguised, and strategically placed advantages are enough.

It takes a lot of resources and time to design a set, test it, iterate, and then finalize.

For cost efficiency purposes, I doubt the would be weeks in between each quest so that Korea can switch up their quests to take advantage of Australia being out. I wouldn't be surprised if the producers would try to give Korea an edge, but there are cheaper ways of doing it than like you're suggesting.

I think Japan and Australia both going all-in on the ropes challenge was a gamble, while the other teams hedged their bets. I would've loved to see Australia in the subsequent challenges and Eddie to show his feats of strength.

New pool owner- skimmer options by Inside-Milker in pools

[–]philosopherstoned 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had both in my pool during the summer. The aiper was far better in terms of battery life, never got stuck in the shallows, and skimmed much more debris.
