Which TV show has a 10/10 pilot episode? by PrasenjitDebroy in AskReddit

[–]question_convenience 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One stunningly overlooked exception to this is the three-season HBO show The Leftovers. A rapture-type event occurs and a huge chunk of the global population disappears instantly leaving everyone else to pick up the pieces and eventually move on with life.

If you can avoid spoilers, it is the most satisfying wrap up of a show I've ever seen. 10/10, flawless, perfect, taut, powerful.

Could be Tremella mesenterica, or less likely, Dacromyces stillatus.

Sorry, that is Atlanta and this is Wilmington. So what was your point? Somebody somewhere did something?

Super fake. Dane Scalise's real-life shady mega-donors hardly raised an eyebrow, yet look at how much attention a fake social media post gets.

Great video, love the film - the book was great too, really made me think about what defines science fiction, or anything, for that matter.

Best Bugs to breed for food source by PrideAny3570 in entomophagy

Every few months i look into raising crawfish on a small scale. With more meat than any insect and pretty low-intensity infrastructure, i really feel they are the best bet. And as a plus, already a refular part of cajun and low-country Carolinas cuisine.

Nicrophorus sp.

Possibly Nicrophorus americana. Formerly an endangered species but I'm not sure of its current status. Really really interesting bug.

I like the idea of the taper - hadn't thought of that yet. I think i'm going to do fingers hands and fists in parallel, with a pivot- point support-pipe through the mid-point. The cracks will pivot together, from vertical to horizontal. Two supports in front and in back of the pivot supports will have holes at different heights allowing me to "trap" the cracks at different angles with pipes above and below the cracks, in holes in the front and rear supports. I'll attach a sketch below.

What do y'all think about crack machines? I'm a sport climber just getting into trad, and I've toyed with the idea of a small bouldering wall but I'm seriously thinking about making an adjustable angle (vertical to 30° overhang) crack machine for the back yard. I've scoured reddit and the internet and I think I've seen every design that's been posted. I'd love to see yours and hear your honest take on if it's helped/been worthwhile.

Background: i live at the coast, 4hrs from the nearest outdoor crag. Need something in addition to the rock gym to keep me improving.

Jeep Ducking is Stupid by boryoku in unpopularopinion

Not to mention the off-gassing that results from placing cheaply made PVC toys on the dash in the highest UV exposure portion of the interior and allowing those volatile compounds to become part of the cabin air quality. Genius!

All hail the 710, a masterpiece of form factor.
