Emmett Till was brutally murdered in 1955, but I was still informed about it nearly 5 decades later.

I don’t think it’s really the length of time since a murder occurred that defines if you hear about it or not, it’s more the priorities of educators and how significant they think any given murder is. It seems like this one wasn’t viewed as significant.

Hard disagree, the true bastions are the webrings that all still look like they’re from early 2000s.

GeoCities is dead, long live NeoCities.

As someone who developed muscle memory on keyboards from 4-6, and then had to unlearn that muscle memory when I was doing touch typing classes, it is just not true that you naturally acquire the muscle memory for touch typing through typing practice.

It’s a formal skill that has to be practiced deliberately to develop.

They’re referring to touch typing, which is a formal skill. The lines signify where your index fingers should rest when not used. All fingers are supposed to live in the middle row, and only go for their immediate neighbors up and down. It is not quite the same as just learning to type on your own.

Philip’s Sonicare line uses an app to track your brushing habits and can tell you when you’re underbrushing spots. It’s almost definitely also spyware, though, like all major corpo apps.

I’ve got an ultrasonic one, no app needed. It detects when you apply too much force, and if you do use the app - again, not needed - it can track your brushing habits and tell you when you’re missing spots. I would not have bought it without my employee discount, though. I think the $30 ultrasonic ones with no seriously fancy stuff are still good, though.

That’s how i see it, you make a significant bulk that can glide you for the rest of the week.

‘As a laborer’ does not sound like what an actual laborer would say.

Meal prep for hours? You can slam together a meal in under an hour and have that shit last half the week. I do that for work every week. Takes like 45 minutes most of the time. It’s chicken, curry, veggies, and rice. Pretty much every time.

One of mooses’ natural predators are orcas.

I have a collection of toques for winter and keep another collection of ballcaps from various places, mostly museums and zoos. The one I got for visiting the Smithsonian was a Washington D.C. one, though, and it doesn’t cover my head well.

He does… business. It’s on his card. He’s the VP of a Mergers and Aquisitions business. So you know he’s businessing. /j

More seriously, for those who didn’t see it or don’t wanna - all we really know is on his card. He works at Pierce and Pierce which deals with mergers and acqusitions. How specifically is unclear - possibly in writing up the legal documents, possibly in just facilitating the meetings.

The real funny part of the cards, though, is that everyone comparing cards is the VP of the company. What that job entails is vague, and the fact that there’s at least 4 people who are all the vice president ambiguates it even further.

Great quote from Paul Atraides.

Sounds like the knife fell out of the rack onto the heating element.

Personally, I don’t even put my knives in the dishwasher. Too much chance for them to be damaged or damage something else.

Edit: I guess redditors have never seen a fucking ceramic knife before? Or am I missing something here?

Could also just be a painted blade knife, which are also common.

I always viewed it more as the artists trying to depict each of the digimon as if they were angels in their final forms, as in being in a celestial or god-like state.

The thing about opossums is that they are notorious for not biting. Their defensive behaviours are hissing, running away, and playing dead.

Anecdotally, I’ve only ever seen one piece of footage of a caught opossum biting - out of hundreds of videos - and it was because the guy was holding the opossum my the scruff and sticking his finger in its face. This is why i believe those reports that oppossums aren’t likely to hurt you, and why i said what I said earlier.

So our options are:

• powerful but not afraid to lash out at you.
• strong secondary abilities but you will stink forever.
• terrible stats but will not hurt you.

Ya know, I don’t think we should be doing animal pit fights with local wildlife, or at all maybe.

Hard disagree about horror films and ‘scary movies’ needing to be ‘scary’. That’s an extremely subjective measure that just starts useless arguments.

Just like any other film, what it actually needs is good writing, good acting, and good cinematography, parts which are more concrete than whether something’s scary. The horror part is essentially just an aesthetic which a movie can sit within.

Also, quite often the view that ‘scary movies should be scary’ just leads to directors creating films that are hard to watch, period - full of vapid jumpscares, scenes made to just gross out the audience, and often just torture fetish content. It’s a terrible metric to aspire to that generally degrades the entire genre imo.

Crocs are also good for wearing for 14 -18 hour shifts too, though, right?

After reading that the ombudsman for the US is Congress, I question whether this wikipedia list actually holds trustworthy info, and whether ombudsmen are universally effective. Congress do not strike me as effective resolvers of anything.
