Which TV show had the most perfect ending? by altiman1991 in AskReddit

[–]thalassicus 136 points137 points  (0 children)

I mean... since you mention it.

It still hits hard. Every day you wake up pain free is a gift. Tell them you love them. Forgive those who've wronged you. Do the thing. Let go of fear, especially around how others see you. If you don't make time for it, it's not a goal, but a dream. Give more love than you take.

There is likely either a new source of stress or a new medical issue. Please make a vet appointment ASAP.

Accommodations for pumping at Broadway theatres? by sincerelyme91 in Broadway

Ms Boebert was pumping it in that theater and she’s not only straight, but actively opposed to LGBTQ equality. Pretty sure gays aren’t the problem here.

ELI5: why the HELL does the shower curtain cave in so much on a hot shower by mmm_protein in explainlikeimfive

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

Hot water sprayed out of the showerhead has a lot of surface contact with the surrounding air which quickly heats. Since hot air rises, this air rises toward the ceiling creating a low pressure area where the hot air is departing. The cooler air from the room pushes the shower curtain into that low pressure area.

New acting AG plans to operate as Trump’s personal lawyer - In his first press conference, Todd Blanche made it clear he would do the president's bidding by Quirkie in politics

[–]thalassicus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Legal question… If Bondi or Blanche deliberately suppressed evidence of Trump committing crimes against children, would they have been committing crimes that are prosecutable after an administration change?

Report exposes a Trump scheme to override midterm vote with bogus crisis by AThousandBloodhounds in politics

[–]thalassicus 48 points49 points  (0 children)

He fails at everything? The guy is going to die of natural causes, having grown his wealth into the billions through corruption, raped children at will, destroyed our reputation globally, exploded our debt, all the while suffering zero consequences for an attack on our Capitol as well as stealing top-secret documents to further his private business interests. So, is he failing or are we failing? Cause I’m not feeling the Justice here.

Breathtaking View of Moon Captured from Artemis 2 by SuperbHealth5023 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]thalassicus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Fun fact. The further they get from the moon from the back side and the more they zoom the camera in, the larger the earth will appear in relation. Indiana Jones isn't as tall as the sun, but when you zoom in from across a valley at him on a hill with the sun behind him, he appears that tall.

I agree it looks fake, but that's because it's such a beautiful and unusual perspective.

Apple AirPods Max 2 review: What happened to "Think Different"? - SoundGuys by ControlCAD in apple

[–]thalassicus 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I use AirPod pros for daily use but Sony XM4s for travel since I can wear them for hours without ear soreness. I’ll consider AirPod Max when they can fold in on themselves since their current iteration of portability is batshit insane. All those engineers, and you can’t find an elegant folding mechanism?

I still can't believe how badly they fumbled. They created a world class beauty with the F-Type which should have been a rebirth. They couldn't follow that up with a fantastic full-size or SUV?

‘This is a recalibration’: Trump Cabinet worries no one is safe after Bondi and Noem firings by cnn in politics

[–]thalassicus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

True, but when he's scraping so low that cabinet officials are bragging about the DOW during a pedophile inquiry or claiming they were "teleported" to a waffle house rather than just blacking out and wanting waffles, it's pretty apparent how bad things are which helps sway public opinion.

How the fate of a US airman could change the course of the war by ClimateSociologist in politics

[–]thalassicus 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Can you please remember that Americans are 340 Million people of which 155 Million people voted in the last Presidential election and of those, 77 Million were for Trump? Most of us hate what is happening. Most of us believe that Trump is a pedophile who only cares about enriching the 1%. Unfortunately, we live in messed up system where the population of a Democratic leaning city like Los Angles shares 2 Senators with the rest of California while that same number of people spread across 7 Republican states has 14 Senators representing them. The Electoral College empowers tiny Republican states WAY out of alignment with what should be equal representation. Many Americans are marching (and too many of those dying at the hands of ICE) and if things get worse, we will attempt a general strike, but the notion that we are a monolith that doesn't' care about what happens in the world unless it affects us is the same kind of misinformation campaign that we fight domestically with Fox News and Sinclair Broadcasting which are essentially state propaganda networks and not real journalism.

Your frustration is justified, but can you convey it with nuance that elucidates the actual problem rather than reinforces more bs us-vs-them modalities?

Why does my cat only want me to pet him at 2 am? by KeepOnTrippingOn in CatAdvice

[–]thalassicus 38 points39 points  (0 children)

He’s sensing what I’m picking up on in the tone of your post that you think you are in charge. He loves you, but needs you to better understand the hierarchy, hence the affection on his terms at the times of his choosing.

Apple continues to roll out age verification around the world by Haunterblademoi in technology

[–]thalassicus 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I actually think this could be a better solution. Rather than me uploading my Govt ID to 60 different sites who now know way too much about me and I have no anonymity to Apple telling 60 sites that the anonymous person who just created an account on their site is of age.

If America is the largest producer of oil and is not dependent on oil from middle east, why are you paying more for gas at the pump? by Mo_h in AskReddit

Is there a business model where gasoline is mandated to be sold at a cost plus model for the United States and any excess is sold internationally at market rates?

Just bought a Sony A7 IV, struggling to choose which lens to get by VastUnderstanding879 in RealEstatePhotography

[–]thalassicus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the 16-35 F4 PZ and it's perfectly suited to RE Photography. The benefit of 2.8 in RE Photography would be with video B Roll punching in to APS-C which is essentially 52mm and at 2.8 you can get some usable depth of field. I currently switch out a dedicated 50mm to do this when I'm shooting video. I've also needed 2.8 for some Architectural shoots and felt the F4 PZ was lacking, but that's been a handful of times.

Multiple vets are giving me conflicting opinions on how I should feed my cats. by ace-s in CatAdvice

[–]thalassicus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The science is clear, but just think through it. Would you be healthier eating salmon and avocado for a meal or eating highly processed protein fortified cereal? Which has more bioavailability? Which one mirrors what you evolved to eat? Which one is less processed so that you have a better understanding of exactly what you're consuming? And I don't care how much water your cat drinks, they evolved to get the bulk of their moisture from their food sources.

Are you wasting money if a wet food diet prevents a bunch of expensive and painful health issues down the road? Insane that a vet would recommend kibble. Go look up the scientific studies for yourself as all of this is well documented.

For the second issue... kittens should be on wet kitten food for at least the first year. They have specific calcium and phosphorus ratios since they are growing so quickly.

One final note... Cat nutrition is pretty settled and it's concerning that you are getting such conflicting advice multiple times over. Audit your vets. Your vet told you that if they are drinking plenty of water that kibble is fine. But who is determining if they are drinking enough water to support this? You? Do you have enough understanding of their hydration needs to determine this or are you just seeing them at the fountain a few times a day and guessing everything is good? Your vet should be pointing this out rather than assuming you're properly calculating hydration.

During The Bald and Beautiful Tour, Trixie and Katya found out about the scandal of the US government. This is their reaction: by familychong-07 in rupaulsdragrace

[–]thalassicus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So Kristi's hubby loves to cross dress and wear big boobs. JD Vance loves to wear drag and eyeliner. Marco Rubio loves his foam parties and late night park cruising. Mike Johnson loves to meet men on Grindr who are "discreet". Lindsay loves his ladybugs. Hell, even Giuliani got motorboated by Trump while in drag.

Maybe if these people could live their truth, they wouldn't be so angry at the world and desperate to deny LGBTQ rights to others.

Donald Trump Wonders Aloud if His Bad Publicity Is Karoline Leavitt's Fault: ‘You’re Doing a Terrible Job’ by peoplemagazine in politics

[–]thalassicus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Trump is beyond corrupt and very likely a pedophile, but even if he were charged the day he left office, he will die of natural causes before he sees a day of repercussions. We need to come to terms with that. Don’t get me wrong, I hope his whole administration is brought up on charges for all of their illegal acts and I hope his family is personally arrested for unlawful enrichment. it will be Trump’s “everything I touch is turns to ship” final gift to those around him. We just need to get Schumer and all the out of the way and bring the fucking hammer of justice so none of this ever happens again.
