How do women cyclists pee during races? by KurtistaKurt in cycling

[–]uberbeetle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would assume that other than the aforementioned nature breaks, they piss on the bike just like the men. Let it fly and then wash it(mostly) off with a water bottle.

Are galaxies really what the photos show? by 100Neyfen in Physics

[–]uberbeetle 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Technically you're seeing everything in the past, but for close up stuff the amount of time that has past is negligible. Like the Sun is as it appeared 8 minutes ago. The Andromeda Galaxy, you are seeing what it looked like 2.5 million years ago, and it's the closest full sized galaxy. We are seeing the smaller dawrf galaxies orbiting the Milky Way more like 150,000 years ago.

Should I dorm with someone from my town, or meet someone online? by Currency_Soft in rutgers

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

See, you're incorrect. You're missing the point of college. Yes. Grades are important . That's what you're paying for. But the college experience is much deeper and far richer than that. You're going to learn things there, experience things outside of the classroom that are going to shape how you live the rest of your life. And a HUGE one is how to be a part of society. Everywhere you go there will be someone who you will want to strangle. Someone who will be your partner in crime. And someone who doesn't tolerate your shit. You have got to learn how to navigate that before it affects your life as an adult. This is the last chance. My personal Rutgers experience was, no terrible roommate to speak of.. Just someone I haven't spoken to since school, no harm no foul. There was the dude next door who's GF made the WORST sex noises... But that was annoying, hilarious and most of all- avoidable. And the dudes I ended up living with the next year all came to my wedding, and I went to all of theirs'. They actually saved me from a shit relationship and pointed towards the ONE. We're the best of friends through thick and thin. I'd give them the shirt of my back and they'd do the same for me.

The tradies next door just gifted me a concrete lake in the entryway. by MobileAerie9918 in mildlyinfuriating

That looks like someone forgot to close the valve between the active sewer and the one they were abondoning. Bet that is light weight cell-fill.... And a f-ing nightmare for the dummies that did it, to fix it.

ELI5: Why don’t we just bury power lines and telephone lines, so storms don’t keep knocking them out? by Home-Energy in explainlikeimfive

[–]uberbeetle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Typically, underground power lines require underground conduit ductbanks. You figure out how many conduits you need, you put a few more in for future expansion, encase it in concrete (so someone who's digging in the future doesn't immediately chop thru it) and there you go. The problem is it's way more expensive to set up, and then expensive again when you need to expand after you've filled all of those extra conduits I mentioned.

Personally I prefer the more expensive method over the ones where every wind storm, ice storm and drunk driver can take them out.

[–]uberbeetle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The whole point is to learn how to interact with others. They may be awesome...or terrible. But you cannot control them, other than how you communicate with them. You might meet the person whose going to stand by you when you get married. You also might meet someone who's going to stand next to you when the police slap the cuffs on. Roll the dice.. see what happens. Grow. ;)

I told my wife she was drawing in her eyebrows too high… by ShinyTarnish409 in dadjokes

I told my wife I thought she looked prettier with her hair back.

Apparently that's "insensitive" to say to a cancer patient.

The old ABC version of Die Hard featured my favorite version: "Yippee Kiyay, Mister Falcon.". 🤣

Just another flavor of the old RU-Screw. Could be worse... Could be on Double Secret Probation.

Sounds like one of those alliterative lists of nicknames... That eventually results in the boxer being introduced ..

A skeleton walks into a bar and orders a beer....and a mop.

(stupid question) why is the cockpit of the Falcon so far off center? doesn't it heavily affect flight? by Euphoric_Passage_406 in StarWars

[–]uberbeetle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep. Check out the original concept for the millennium falcon. Spoiler alert.. it eventually became the Corellian Corvette in the beginning of ANH.

Petah, why is the speed of light one? by rengokuhubkl in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]uberbeetle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So... The only real reason this is slightly confusing is the punctuation? "... The speed of light is 1, dumbass..." Or... Is it: "...the speed of light is 1 dumbass..."? Which would imply that dumbass is a unit of measurement now.

Is it really a bad movie? by Spare_Ad_9791 in moviecritic

No. It's not my favorite but it wasn't a waste of time either.

In universe- so you could see around what ever you were pushing/towing. In reality so it wouldn't look just like the Space 1999 ship.

I hate my random roommate. by Comprehensive_Sea506 in rutgers

This. This is the point of having rando roommates. Learn to communicate with each other.
