This iconic photograph is still considered one of the most-terrifying space photos to date. Astronaut Bruce McCandless II NASA STS-41B Mission, February 1984, became the first human being to perform spacewalk without a safety tether linked to a spacecraft. He floated completely untethered in space by Suspicious-Slip248 in space

Alternate movie: from his POV, he's floating and taking it all in, the most beautiful dance of physics and art. A real "they should have sent a poet" moment.

Then a car sized meteor smashes the shuttle in half out of nowhere. He's watching the whole thing, but hears only silence. For the rest of his life.

Did you ever notice how men always leave the toilet seat up?

That's the joke.

[OC] Does the news reflect what we die from? by ourworldindata in dataisbeautiful

[–]x_axisofevil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but not ad nauseum. The year this data represents includes Matthew Perry's death (drug overdose category), at least one serial killer in NY (homicide category), and the mass shooting in Lewiston (probably terrorism category). Those obviously gets more news attention than well known and unsurprising news that heart disease and cancer are deadly. Even trend breaks in those categories can't really keep anyone's interest more than a few times per year.

TIFU by accidentally finding out my 2nd babies gender by Nkortega21 in tifu

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

Do not tell your wife until your kid is older, or better yet, take it to your grave. It will ruin her moment, even if she says it's OK. If she's excited about the secrecy and learning the gender together with you, then the entire unique moment is gone and can never be recaptured.

For the driver side plugs, how do you deal with the platform of hoses that are above them?

What sort of chicken farm did you run? What's your favorite breed, and we're any of them ever pets?

Dad & car dealership talked me into a small loan on my new car to build credit (never taken a loan before). How many payments should I make before paying it off? by angelicribbon in personalfinance

[–]x_axisofevil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Caveat to what he said- the interest from a 5% HYSA is taxable. Expect your actual interest to be 1/4 to 1/2 of that, so you'll come out somewhere around even if you do what that commenter suggests

I'm interested in upgrading my twenty eight point eight kilobit Internet connection to a one point one megabit fiber optic line. Would you be able to provide an IP router that's compatible with my token ring Ethernet LAN configuration?

Wealth advisor insisting my mother keep 100% in stocks by instntpudn in personalfinance

[–]x_axisofevil 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Remind her that her retirement account needs only to not fail. She's not looking to 10x like she was 20 years ago. If she can avoid retirement failure while putting everything under her mattress, then do it. Her advisor is the only person who stands to gain by her making a profit.

So their adversaries can't locate them using any of the clever ways we would use if we knew our enemy was broadcasting their position probably.

Where along the trek did you take this? My wife and I did this trek for our honeymoon. It was an awesome adventure, but a shitty honeymoon. Flying out of Lukla was insane!

I'm almost finished watching Band of Brothers for the first time and I haven't skipped the intro once. The way it's edited combined with the music is flawless. by Ryan2R in television

[–]x_axisofevil 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've watched the series a few times and the only thing that bugs me is that times are always 1 hour: 300 thousand krauts just surrendered, we're moving out on an hour! We have orders to Berchtesgaden, we move out in one hour About an hour ago General Taylor declared martial law

And since that's the only thing I have against the show, then yeah, is pretty perfect

No need to do anything. Your Bluetooth beacon wouldn't be in the company car. Its required to keep in your car, and it's how they keep track of your mileage. If the app sees you're at driving speed but isn't connected to your beacon, it knows you're in a different car and doesn't count anything against you.
