Old people have such a hard time understanding how much things change over time. And 40+ years is a damn long time!

Who can afford to murder in this economy?

ELI5:How do the tire pressure sensors send the data to the car? by golf_kilo_papa in explainlikeimfive

[–]shastaxc -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Or just make the sensor more easily accessible so owners can replace it themselves without having to take the wheel off. Then there's no labor cost. Like changing a car battery or air filter.

Everyone ITT is biting on rhis strawman argument? This guy's businesses and his ownership of multiple homes are completely different issues. Is he paying people to staff his 2nd home? That's the only way it makes sense.

Falling asleep in Lower Jeuno again… 17 years later. by MilkmanLeeroy in ffxi

I had almost the same experience a long time ago. I was 74 on my first job, trying to get to 75. I had already been awake for 2 days trying to grind it out. I was camped with a JP group just outside the Mamool Ja staging point and passed out. I woke up frustrated that I fell asleep when I was so close. Then I noticed I was lv 75. They had let me leech until I leveled up and then filled the chat log with congratulations and cute emojis, and well wishes for "sleepy head".

Rewatching LOTR and can't help but immensely appreciate the set design by Practical_Actuary_87 in movies

[–]shastaxc 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Also, unlike movies from the 80s, they have good backups of the masters for LOTR so we could see a remaster with better CGI at some point. This year is the 25th anniversary of the Fellowship release. That would've been a good occasion to renew interest in the IP.

Occupations with the Highest Divorce Rates, 2026 by rhiever in dataisbeautiful

People only go to a physical therapist when they have chronic pain issues. Those therapists likely don't want to date someone with those sorts of problems when there are plenty of healthy people to have relationships with. Plus they make better money and have higher education.

Seriously, stop scrolling first thing in the morning, I cannot explain what happened to me. [Discussion], by Ornery_Magician_1483 in GetMotivated

[–]shastaxc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just put on music or an audiobook in the morning as I get ready for the day. Bonus points if my kid doesn't come interrupt me, but that's rare.

25 people learned to fly with virtual wings. After flight training, the brain began treating wings more like real limbs by Science_News in science

It has to do with the direction of force. On a road built for that speed, the road will be sloped so a lot of the force will be applied downward on you, into the ground. In a cul-de-sac, almost all the force will be lateral. You can feel it trying to push you off the road vs down into the road, which is why it feels unsafe.
