Twenty-six miles? What's the big deal? I've run that!

Not all at once, but if you add it up over my lifetime that sounds about right.

For a second I thought she had 87 parents and was wondering how that worked.

Instantly reminded me of this for some reason.

So I had heard about RRR when it got brought up on a couple random "best of" lists and it was on Netflix so I decided to give it a try.

I'd never actually seen a Bollywood/Tollywood movie before but I was familiar with the over the top-ness that's common and music and dance numbers.

I watched the first hour, and frankly was kind of bored. There were a couple of the crazy action sequences I was expecting but it felt like not much was happening and taking forever to get anywhere. I turned it off and went and did something else.

Couple days later was looking for something to watch and decided to fire RRR back up and give it a second chance picking up where I left off. Ten minutes later was the Naatu dance sequence. I was like, "Alright movie, that was a lot of fun, you got me back in" and then overall I will say I ultimately enjoyed the movie. I do think it's too long still, but yeah, overall solid film.

For a professional performance I don't think it would be too difficult to get some dancers out there to do it. If they don't they are seriously fucking up.

Damn, I knew he'd been around, I had no idea he was that old

Or maybe he's just one of the varieties of naturally red crabs

Lobsters are only red after being cooked. For crabs that isn't necessarily the case.

My favorite suggestion I ever heard was they should announce a sequel and then just re-release the original.

I said hard, not impossible. I have no doubt there are individual places that have had difficulty getting a well going. That doesn't change the fact that most of the time you can drill wherever and likely hit something. Historically speaking especially.

>can you dig a well anywhere and hit water

Just about. Usually just a question of how deep. This is how "water dowsers" usually work just FYI. They don't actually do anything it's just kind of hard to fail.

Here's my universal translator. Unfortunately it can only translate into an obscure dead language.

Hello?

Bonjour!

Crazy gibberish!

Reminds me of the time some LED signs of cartoon characters shut down Boston

Oh, so now you're saying we can't even trust dictators? What's the world coming to!

The article is about allergens. Maybe you should work on YOUR comprehension.

>They don't want to have any inconveniences

"I might die" is a LOT more than an "inconvenience"

Hey asshole, you realize that people literally DIE from food allergies right? This isn't a minor inconvenience issue. This is "Please don't put my personal equivalent of cyanide into my food without telling me."

Heard all about this from my brother over Christmas. He has a 4 year old with a pretty significant sesame allergy. At first they were excited when this passed because sesame being officially a "major" allergen meant it would be required on food labels explicitly rather than potentially just part of "seasoning" or whatever.

The problem however, is that in order to not have to put sesame on the label, the companies are required to thoroughly clean production lines between different runs to ensure no cross contamination of sesame into products that don't contain it. Their solution to this has apparently been "fuck it, sesame is in everything now" and have just done things like add 15% sesame flour into their bread recipe and mark it on the label.

So now my nephew can eat almost nothing commercially produced safely.

Nothing. The idea that rust itself causes tetanus is a misconception.

Tetanus doesn't come from rust, it comes from things being dirty. It lives in soil. The idea of a "rusty nail" is more indicative that it's been out there in the environment a long time and may have picked up contamination. The rust itself is incidental.

If you get a puncture wound from a non-rusty nail or anything similar out in a field you should also probably get a tetanus shot for that as well.

>I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...

>The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance

Would need a time machine to get the prediction more accurate

Short answer is yes, but not enough to matter to a human. Tiny fractions of a second per year.

Interestingly though, it is enough to throw off GPS calculations which have to be VERY precise. GPS satellites have to include compensation for time dilation in their calculations or they wouldn't work.

To be fair, in the full study they do mention that ecological impact on the site of the mines is something that should be considered but is not part of this paper.

They had a specific thing they wanted to measure, it isn't meant to be a holistic evaluation of one method vs the other.

The measurement is "carats per hour" not "diamonds per hour".

So one 5 carat diamond pulled out of the ground and five 1 carat diamonds pulled out of the machine would be equal production in this study.

Reportedly a good way to lower suicide rates is just to put some fences on a bridge. A surprising number of people will not find an alternative if their first option isn't available.

It doesn't stop everyone but just making or harder does in fact stop some people from going through with it. Like they get there and are all prepared to jump and then there's a fence in the way, it's not easy to climb, and now the moment has kind of passed, guess I'll just carry on for now.

If someone really wants to kill themselves they will. But just throwing a speed bump in their path will buy a lot more time for them to get better than you might think.

It's basically Chuck Norris jokes but with George Washington

Biting through a finger is only slightly more difficult than biting through a carrot but your brain won't let you chomp your own if you're aware at all.
