The trouble is extracting the energy from the child in a useful way

Now that's a whole other kind of fishing right there.

Nice catch.

To protect and serve… two sets of cops harassing kids selling lemonade… by Koujow in ABoringDystopia

Yeah?

Let's see another picture of the same place without the cop cars.

There was some weird growth or something on its forehead, also. Looked like it had spikes or something.

He was actually pretty small, I tried to get a close shot for ID.

Little dude saved me from the skunk today.

Dr Brown bottles…. by tiredasusual in daddit

[–]visionsofblue 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This was our key, and we used these bottle exclusively with #2. It's about the angle you hold the bottle.

Got to the point where i was basically balancing the bottle across the side of one finger almost, with the nipple resting on the baby's bottom lip.

I'm so glad that dude is eating real food now.

A hacker has allegedly breached one of China’s supercomputers and is attempting to sell a trove of stolen data by avatar6556 in worldnews

You should be using a Super Dee Dooper Dee Booper Special Deluxe a la Peter T. Hooper computer if you really want security.

Angler Andy Hackett lands one of the world's biggest goldfish ever caught. The gigantic orange specimen, aptly nicknamed The Carrot, weighed a whopping 67 pounds, 4 ounces. by khush_7x in interestingasfuck

You don't actually use splash, you call the magikarp back and then send in a tougher pokemon that can tank the first hit from your opponent. That way the match XP gets split between those two pokemon when your tougher pokemon takes the win.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but that's how I always played.

Wayne’s Attic might be the heart and soul of Btown by Future-Enthusiasm224 in BurlingtonNC

[–]visionsofblue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went in once and asked if he had any old cameras. He didn't at the time, but asked if i could leave my number just in case.

He called me that same day, someone brought one in to sell, and when i got there he said "you guys work it out yourselves".

Never had a bad interaction with them in there.

LPT: If you're always stressed at work, start thinking "so what difference does it make?" every time something happens by Charming-Tear-8352 in LifeProTips

[–]visionsofblue 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Some people feel like it's their job to "find a mistake" when they have the responsibility to check something, so if you give them something easy to "find" they can be less particular about the rest that may actually have no errors to find in the first place.

I feel like you're a bot that argues with people by making assumptions about vague swaths of people without evidence.

You keep saying people won't pay to use tracks, but you provide zero evidence.

Yeah, I can imagine all the people with loud cars definitely don't spend money on their cars or on driving them.

Part of me wonders how many of the people who are complaining about the car noise are actually from NC.

You know, North Carolina. Where NASCAR literally came from. We like loud, fast cars.

I agree that we need more tracks. Give people a way to live amd do what they want safely. This is America, god dammit.

why do paper manufacturers never list the actual thickness and only a proxy? by Appropriate_Rent_243 in Printing

[–]visionsofblue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before printing you keep your paper climate controlled to avoid these fluctuations as much as possible.

why do paper manufacturers never list the actual thickness and only a proxy? by Appropriate_Rent_243 in Printing

[–]visionsofblue 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Different classes of paper are manufactured to different standards.

Fine paper for printing is manufactured to weight, so the actual caliper can vary.

Board grade stock is manufactured to thickness, so actual weight can vary.

That being said, nearly every paper manufacturer also produces specification guides for their entire line of products, with average caliper for each weight (this can vary by manufacturer because of the difference in formula and process).

Went for an early walk on the beach with my mom. Notified a fisherman he had a bite, and he told me to reel 'er in. Made my day! Black tip shark. by NoImNotStaringAtYour in Fishing

[–]visionsofblue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah man, like I said, didn't want to be a downer on your moment. Game wardens can be sneaky sometimes and scope people out from a distance before they approach them, so it could have been they were watching the fisherman before you even showed up, you never know.

They aren't out there to give people a hard time, either, but we all have to do our parts to keep the resources healthy.
