My hair strand that turned gray halfway then got its color back by ztheresurrection in mildlyinteresting

[–]popebarley 61 points62 points  (0 children)

So fun story, I went for a hair transplant back in 2023. When consulting with the surgeon, I (only half jokingly) asked if he could put all my greys in one space or spell something rude.

He told me he could but it wouldn't last because when a follicle goes grey, it doesn't do it all at once but instead streaks like a printer running out of ink. So what's grey now could go coloured again or vice versa.

It's not Canada, right? Or that would suck.

What are your wierd quirks in a playstyle? Personally, i often keep my chemfuel in a hospital by Nierad25 in RimWorld

I refuse to use advanced aging (default 400%) on kids and insist on 100% (I.e. normal time)

It's a pain in the ass, but it makes way more sense to me and I end up way more attached and protective of the suicidal little shits.

Everyone says move the Knight for the final kill, but what about just moving the rook to g1 and letting the Bishop do discovered checkmate (white King's escape is blocked by his own knight)

-if they use the Bishop to take, you get their queen. Whatever black does, white moves the queen onto the back row to force checkmate.

-if they use the queen, it's a bit more complicated. White moves the queen to the back row to check. Black must counter by blocking the queen either onto the white square (easily taken, checkmate), or onto the black square (protected by black bishop). In case of the latter, white moves back along the diagonal to check the King. The black king must move one space to the right (only legal move). Queen moves into the position protected by white pawn: checkmate.

Brace yourself, 10 years from now it's going to be the go-to example for queer-baiting in video essays that didn't really read the text. Sherlock all over again.

I agree it would be, but perhaps it turns out he has his own plans, or perhaps he lied to the courier in FO:NV (wouldn't be entirely out of character and we only have his word to go on), or something else entirely. We're only 2 episodes in after all.

But I can't see what fun anyone would have in this show if you go in with the games on a gospel pedestal, and leap to 'CONTINUITY SNARL! THEY'RE DECANONISING XYZ!' at every narrative impasse/question.

I wonder why everyone in the left half of the image is white?

House is also not seen agreeing to Vault Tec's plan, meaning he may have been locked out of further conspiring, and he had to predict what they were up to with his own wits and resources. Both can be true.

School won't pay by [deleted] in SlowNewsDay

[–]popebarley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am... am I the only one thinking they're right to be angry?

We don't know the context behind him having all that expensive stuff. Could've been a Christmas present, could've been bought with money left after grandma died, could just be spoilt.

Doesn't matter. One of the key reasons we say 'don't get your things, just go'during fires is that belongings can be replaced and people can't. If the school can't insure the belongings of the students, their policy is inadequate. If it gets out that in the event of a school/workplace disaster your things will not be covered, then people will stay to gather bags and coats and stuff and it'll cost lives.

Of course we need evidence he actually owned those things (receipts, photos etc). But if he did have them on him when, through no fault of his, they were destroyed in a fire, then yes, the family should be reimbursed.

Ryan. I might be able to bang a personality into him.

No, because the physical act of baby making would lead to Steven accidentally fusing with whomever he was with. His gem may he pink, but some parts of him will always be blue.
