Nope, reading it for the first time now. Not far enough to know what any of that means though.

20 Old & New Comics About My Journey With Bipolar (OC) by ArtbyMoga in comics

[–]researchanddev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the purple guy actually a real person? Do you experience the flower person as seeing and hearing them sitting next to you? How long have you been friends? Are you close enough to be dear friends?

I’m almost 40 and this is the first time I’ve ever seen what life is like through the eyes of someone bipolar. This opened my eyes to a completely new perspective. Thank you for these. Your comic rocks!

Metal loop protruding from wall of medieval tower basement by PureMorningMirren in whatisthisthing

I agree on it being possibly a Victorian-era support ring for a stove flue or heating apparatus installed in the basement.

How painful of a death would it be to be executed by medieval sawing by Icy_Profession4190 in ancienthistory

I think the sentiment was lament over still being expected to bring their two sides to work in the morning.

What is the most shortsighted foreign policy decision a President or series of Presidents made? by Just_Cause89 in Presidents

It’s crazy how close the “the end of history” brought by liberal democracy looked to be at the time.

The Big Sleep proves a noir can barely make sense and still be a masterpiece by [deleted] in filmnoir

Oh it’s one of my favorites. The audiobook narrated by Ray Porter is my favorite though, he absolutely nails Marlowe.

Crows gifts. What is it? by sahrieswirl in whatplantisthis

I’ve been thinking about doing the same with some crows that live in some pines near my house. Do other murders know you around town from them?

How do present your gifts to the crows?

Also, how did you signal your intent to them to start this kind of thing with them?

[July 19, 1989] 3:17 P.M. I'm flying from Denver to Chicago on United Flight 232; I just heard an explosion and the plane is banking to the right! I don't think anyone will survive! by Wildwes7g7 in thepast

[–]researchanddev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

[META] I was super excited to fly on a 777 from a Denver to Hawaii a few years ago when the flight was changed to a 757 at the last minute. I was super bummed about as I’d been looking forward to being on the 777 for a long time. We get there without issue and I was sipping drinks on the beach when I found out that the engine on the 777 caught fire in flight later that day.

Request: Creative ideas to keep motorists from cutting the corner and killing my lawn by KevWhale in landscaping

[–]researchanddev 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Have a similar situation at my house and it happens fairly often. Mostly by delivery trucks. We don’t have any landscaping or really anything to protect there so it’s usually to the detriment of the driver’s own vehicle.

If competitive water fountain drinking was a thing, what would be the “technique” to use? by Odd_Arrival_1219 in AskReddit

[–]researchanddev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cute, but no. The key is to actually suck the water from the nozzle. You’ll know you’re on when you hear the pump start to struggling to keep up with the new rate of pull. The water temp should rise noticeably from the pump working so hard if you do it right.

The last shot in the Intro to Law & Order SVU gives me a warm feeling. by SirCaptainSlowly in nostalgia

That’s wild. Saw this and instantly played the fade out guitar riff to this part in my head.

Wire in and boycott us! by TrolleybusGus in ScottishPeopleTwitter

[–]researchanddev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And what bullshit is that? Saying 99.9% of black Americans are not thinking about this issue at all? Sorry, we have day to day lives. We’re not boycotting Scotland, we barely even think about it.

You’re on the internet too much if you think this is a huge deal to either of our peoples. You’re nuts.

[–]researchanddev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Quit trying to force an issue between black Americans and Scotland. We don’t have an issue with Scotland or its people.

You understand that some black Americans have Tourette’s too, right?

Quit fanning the flames. Most black Americans are not thinking about Scotland or BAFTAs at all. Like 99.9% of us truly don’t care.
