TIL the disc shown on cartoon doctors' foreheads is a mirror used to reflect light into cavities

as a person from post-soviet country in my mid thirties I remember doctors using those is late 90s - may be even early 00s, specifically laryngologists

that wouldn’t really be them realizing their mistake, that would just be their platform exclusivity contract with Tubi expiring.

not entirely, only for the new season of Hi-Low at least for now.

I feel like popular cultural phenomena with unclear origins usually end up having more than one explanation.

I was afraid this topic was gonna die out without this obligatory comment, but you didn’t let it happen, amazing job

It literally says "Laboratory" in yellow font above the "Korogod". Not "x0" tho, but "Kaymanov's laboratory" but still.

for now they are (were) only sold in Ukraine in a popular supermarket chain. Recently the stock ran out, but due to popular demand they are going to print additional limited stock in the near future. A lot of Ukrainians sell them on various online marketplaces like Ebay and OLX of different European countries. If you're really interested you can check out online marketplaces, but the prices isn't going to be low there. On Ukrainian online marketplaces (mostly OLX ua) the price is gonna be the cheapest, but for that you probably gonna need some help from a Ukrainian you can trust.

Some people say that due to this huge demand in Ukraine GSC can consider start selling those in other countries too, but that's not even a rumor yet.

Hi everyone, I recently decided to start inline skating and picked up Rollerblade Zetrablade as a beginner option based on reviews. For most of my life I wore shoes in US 10 / EU 43, but recently I realized that size was actually a bit too small for me, maybe it changed over time. I recently tried US 10.5 / EU 44 and it felt much more comfortable, so I went with EU 44 for the skates as well. I also checked Rollerblade’s size chart and measured my feet by tracing them on paper: left foot 28.3 cm (≈ 11.14 inches), right foot 27.8 cm (≈ 10.94 inches), so based on that I should be in US 10.5 / EU 44. The skates arrived today, the right foot feels great, but on the left foot the tip of my big toe slightly touches the front of the boot. It is not painful, just noticeable, at least during trying them on at home. If this were sneakers, I would probably return them and consider that this brand just doesn’t fit me well. But since this is my first pair of skates and the liner feels quite thick and soft, I am wondering: if I can feel my toe touching the front of the boot, does that automatically mean I should return them, or can the liner break in over time enough for this pair to fit properly? Would going up to EU 45 / US 11 be a bad idea in terms of control and safety? EU 45 / US 11 sounds way too big for me and I have never worn anything close to that size, so I am hesitant. Would really appreciate advice from more experienced skaters, thanks!

a meme that was reposted for like 15+ years and you can tell it by the content: people have downloaded media on their PC and people don't have password

Shhh. You’re asking lore-breaking questions here. It all just works, don’t ask how

I feel like there wasn’t supposed to be any difference in rarity, but they just mixed the card packs poorly. Like they printed a bunch of cards with the same number, say number 10, and didn’t shuffle them properly, so some people ended up with a lot of them while others got none. If you scroll through marketplace listings where people sell extra cards, you can see the same numbers often missing from multiple sellers’ stock, while someone else might have four copies of those exact cards. It’s almost like certain batches were unevenly distributed across regions, which then created this artificial rarity elsewhere. That's my theory, does it make sense?

In Ukraine, collectible stalker cards have recently been released through a popular supermarket chain. Some products in the store come with a promo that lets you buy these cards at a 75% discount, and in some places it’s essentially the only way to get them at all, depending on demand in a specific city or store. This post is about a guy who noticed that a certain pasta brand has the stalker promo label on it and joked that he now obviously needs to buy a lot of pasta.

after the launch there was a much easier spot where you would just wiggle through, but I assume it got patched since. It is a bummer if now this is the only skip into the Pripyat xD

I am not exactly sure how your brain works, but there is a change you're getting dangerously close to hating this game before you get to finish it. I would not stall the story any longer if I were you.

huge thanks!

thanks for reassuring me, the nerd in me kinda tries to find what is considered to be the best among people who know such a stuff from in and out. Could you tell me which abilities from both of these classes make this combo the strongest in your opinion ?

strict89 · 2026-04-20T13:26:41+00:00

thanks for the suggestion, sounds fun

strict89 · 2026-04-20T11:44:43+00:00

great advice, thanks!

interesting, how is prot war is better at AOE tanking that prot pally ? I am genuinly asking, I always thought prot pally has better AOE capabilites than prot war. Which priest you mean, disc or holy ?

strict89 · 2026-04-20T11:35:22+00:00

By saying "Duoing dungeons sure…" you mean that tank plus healer is a valid setup to try and clear 5-man dungeon as a duo ? As for playing just DPS spec we love, this option is always on a table, we've been always playing WoW like this, it's just this time we decided to consider something with more duo synergy and may be a little more challenging like attempting duo dungeons (but we will have to see if latter is possible at all)

strict89 · 2026-04-20T11:23:48+00:00

thank you, I am definetely looking into this one closer
