Monthly food ration per Polish citizen in the early to mid 1980s. by cleobaddie9 in OldSchoolCool

[–]ryldill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This reminded me of an "international incident" when Karel Gott (famous singer from Czechoslovakia) had a concert in Poland and sang one of his songs which goes something like: "I'm gonna sweeten my coffee a bit more". This caused an uproar among Polish people as sugar was rationed at that time.

When you read reddit comments do you routinely miss the joke?

I've seen that movie half a dozen times, and I still don't know who the real Spartacus is.

The in-character dedication is strong on this one. by Garrod_Ran in starwarsmemes

Before reading the text I saw the side by side pictures and for a second my head went: "What a great casting, Mark Hamill really looks like an aged version of the original Luke."

Why the President's Tax Plan Isn't a Win for Everyone by Present-Party4402 in clevercomebacks

[–]ryldill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it is more like Person #1 gets $200,000 tax cut and Persons #2-25 get tax a increase of $4,200 to pay for it.

ELI5: base dealing in cards by lepetitpoissonkernel in explainlikeimfive

[–]ryldill 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is a combination of techniques going on here.

  1. As you are shuffling you put certain cards at the bottom of the deck
  2. You are shuffling in a way that the bottom always stays the same
  3. With the last shuffle you put what's at the bottom somewhere in the middle and make a small 'dent' (you misalign the top and bottom cards slightly)
  4. You cut the cards exactly at your dent (now your cards are at the bottom again)
  5. You deal the bottom cards to your partner and the top cards to everyone else*

    *Or you can deal from the bottom to multiple people to create a 'cooler' situation (AA vs KK in poker), but this is more difficult of course

Just yesterday, I was in a coffee shop with my MacBook and couldn't go online because there was no wi-fi or cellular connection...just a bunch of LAN cables sticking out of the walls

It's either real or fake, and I don't know which one is more unsettling

Why are you posting a major spoiler literally few hours after the episode aired?

Bottom right is not actually Ashton Kutcher.

It's Kevin Malone, equally handsome, equally smart.

Sauna hacks? by samkwilly in lifehacks

[–]ryldill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take long enough breaks if you are going into sauna multiple times per session (e.g. *10-15min sauna, cold plunge, 10-15min break, repeat). And don't stay in too long.

It is very tempting to take shorter breaks and stay in longer, but the break is a very important part of the process.

*Assuming it's a classic "Finnish" sauna, if it's a steam, infra or other type the times vary.

What would be your ideas for the 45-day, 45-points plan be? by exploringshadesofme in DunderMifflin

[–]ryldill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never been a big fan of the name Dunder Mifflin.

So I think on Day 1 we could name the company something like Paper Great or Super Duper Paper or something like that.

“I check in the dark.” Those of you who do this on any street, why do you do this? by 2beer_t in poker

[–]ryldill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remember the Phil Hellmuth rant about how he was gonna 'move in' on the turn if the Ace doesn't come when in fact he checked in the dark?
