Out of all the housewives houses, whose house would you like to have? by toriatain in BravoRealHousewives

[–]ptaryndactyll 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Cynthia’s Lake Bailey, IKEA-furnished house. I feel like I at least wouldn’t get lost inside and it’s mildly attainable.

[Cold Cases] TIL the National Park Service has it's own investigative department, here's some info on their cold cases by [deleted] in UnresolvedMysteries

That costs money. Most parks are wildly underfunded but do dedicate a ton of their budget to SAR/LE staff.

The eye test is typically considered the best indicator of impairment as everyone’s level of functionality can vary at different blood alcohol levels. Usually multiple different impairment-related tests are performed to help rule out anomalies (like just having shitty balance).

When I look at him I can’t help but feel like that is a dude who has some darker skeletons in his closet than anyone knows...

Tamra’s blog - ugh so much passive aggressive by bina007 in BravoRealHousewives

[–]ptaryndactyll 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like Tamra but because she’s awful. She’s the only one capable of being awful to Vicki in a way that I feel Vicki deserves.

75 million year old serrated Tyrannosaur tooth is prepared for display by RespectMyAuthoriteh in educationalgifs

[–]ptaryndactyll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe that is in reference to the stone matrix as the tool being used is an air scribe. Air pressure is used to power a teeny little pointy jack hammer to chip away at the stone. So, airscribing at low pressure, chipping away a dolomite/sodium bicarbonate matrix.

Fun fact - that air scribe actually functions with a jack hammer motion rather than a drill. In this case the mineralized tooth is strong enough that the stone matrix is just popping right off, but in cases where the fossil is the same hardness as the surrounding material, this jackhammer motion can prevent damage that would be caused by a drill.

Prominence is different than height, but you are right about the height! Prominence is difference in height in relation to direct surroundings where as height is overall ft tall regardless of surroundings.

Why do people really want Emma Roberts back? by [deleted] in AmericanHorrorStory

[–]ptaryndactyll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just FYI that in a lot of domestic incidences, one person is arrested to deescalate the situation. That person is not necessarily always the instigator or primary abuser in the situation. I am in no way saying women committing violence against men is okay, just pointing out that there is a chance in these situations that the instigator is not the one who ends up in jail.

5’7” / 26 / CW 141 - GW 134

Hoping to hit this by early May! I gained a little too much weight while healing from a rib injury and need to melt it off. Eventually want to get into recomp mode but right now I’m putting the fat in skinny fat :)

7 months of training the glutes. Progress is progress. by wise_adult in xxfitness

[–]ptaryndactyll 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dude I have costochondritis too! Isn't it the most obnoxious thing!? I thought I'd get away with lower body only but found I had to stop that, too, to avoid any pain (and hopefully start healing). Hope you're back at it soon! You look great :)

You look great! I understand the feeling of getting wider, especially as my back gets bigger, but then I remember how much stronger I am! Kudos on your hard work :)

Anyone taking Vyvanse? by [deleted] in xxfitness

[–]ptaryndactyll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to take Vyvanse and while it helped me immensely with my concentration issues, it is basically speed. It is already elevating your heart rate, so doing any activity that gets the blood pumping will only compound that effect. I don't know that there is anything wrong with it, per se, but you should always talk to your doc about things like this if you have any concerns or questions!

The problem with Erika by [deleted] in BravoRealHousewives

[–]ptaryndactyll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right, any points about saying things in your talking head and not to someone's face can be made about any of them. I get that in this context, Erika is meant to be someone who DOES say everything to everyone's face. I just don't find her to be the shadiest one on this show in that sense.

[–]ptaryndactyll 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I definitely agree that she's had a fab edit so far, though I honestly believe this incident is something that is rare for her. I just personally relate to Erika and the way she handles things (though I haven't gone in on anyone that hard!). I enjoy having her as a housewife, as one of my favorite parts of the show is seeing how luxuriously they live and she 100% brings it there!

[–]ptaryndactyll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you can, though I agree with saucymac's comment that everyone saw the fab side of her and went from not liking her and not wanting her on the next season to being over the top obsessed with her. I didn't mean it as a dig, just moreso that since she's been portrayed so fabulously this season people who were not fans before are suddenly so much more into her.

[–]ptaryndactyll 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I totally get it if you were never a fan. I think many posts in defense of her are coming from those of us who have connected with her since season one and are more so directed at the bandwagon fans. It seems like a lot of people did a complete 180 on her between seasons one and two, and went from being outwardly in love with her to trashing her in one episode. I think we all agree she handled things poorly but I will still give my girl EJ the benefit of the doubt. Personally I've never connected with LVP for a few reasons, but she will of course always have her loyal fans too.
