I did a 100ft free fall into a net once. When the adrenaline is going, you have plenty of time to think about it. Mathematically, I know the drop took about 2.5 seconds, but it felt like a full two minutes. My perception of it was 30 seconds of “Wow, this view is really nice” and 90 seconds of “What the fuck? Where’s the net? Why am I still falling? What the fuck?!”
So, yeah, she probably had plenty of time to panic.
Antibiotics attack 100% of everything. The snap very specifically only targets 50% of everything.
a little tedious at times
I almost snapped my controller in half after about fifteen attempts at the last proper boss of the game.
No idea if you’re joking or not, because UPS legitimately refers to their warehouse personnel as “industrial athletes.”
It’s not “for jobs sake.” It is to reduce congestion and wait times for people trying to check out. It’s got the added benefit of reducing shrink by having a trained and practiced professional doing the labor quicker and with greater ease and accuracy than the customers would do themselves.
No one should use PayPal if they can help it.
How about hiring 5 or more additional cashiers to relieve congestion?
Spoken like a true math teacher.
Amen to that. My wife and I are both mostly gay, but we’re straight for each other.
Correction: military personnel should be offered fellatio. If they accept, then they’re queer antifa commies who should stop asking for handouts. And they’re discharged.
I remember an episode of Roseanne from the early '90s where she did a move I was very familiar with growing up: mail the rent check to the power company and the electric bill to the landlord. “Oh no! I must’ve mixed up the envelopes!” And now you’ve bought another week until the next paycheck hits.
Capitalism only works when some people are incredibly broke, so, yeah, OP’s Bill Roulette has been around for a long as bills.
I used to work with a guy who was also a Methodist pastor. Most of our conversations were perfectly normal and fine, but every once in a while he would be like, “So where do you think the government is hiding the nephilim fossils?”
I haven’t seen a doctor in over 20 years. I didn’t have insurance for most of that time. I’ve finally had insurance in the last five years or so, but now I can’t find a doctor my insurance covers that is taking new patients.
Just a quick bit of searching, and I found a Wisconsin sheriff who is far less definitive on this than you:
According to state law, any vehicle traveling “at less than the normal speed of traffic” must be driven in the right-hand lane, or as close as practicable, except when overtaking and passing another vehicle.
So Wisconsin does acknowledge that anyone going less than the normal speed of traffic should only use the left lane to pass. But, as the sheriff points out:
“It describes normal traffic, so to say somebody going 80 is normal is going to be very difficult for me to say that. So normal being above the speed limit, you’ve got two conflicting sets of laws here.”
And it’s okay that traffic laws conflict with each other because, again, the point is not the letter of the law, but the safe and predictable operation of the vehicle.
It is also illegal to stay in the left lane when other people are speeding. If they are going faster than you, you are by definition slower traffic and obliged to keep to the right.
Your job as a driver is not to police other drivers’ behaviors. It’s not even to follow the letter of the law. It’s to operate the vehicle safely. Creating obstacles for other people because you don’t think they should drive so fast is not a safe action.
Really, we need to collectively get rid of the idea of a “fast lane.” The left lane is a passing lane. You should only be in it when you’re attempting to pass someone, and when the pass is complete, you should move over.
I can. They’re propping up the whole stock market at this point. Pretty much the definition of “too big to fail.” So when they inevitably fail, Congress is going to give them our tax dollars.
But is water wet?!
This reminds me of my own thoughts on the peak year of cinema: 1999. We got:
The inciting incident to all of these movies is basically, “I’m a bored white guy feeling existential dread.” They’re all great films, but if late-90s cinema is any indication, a huge swathe of Americans had virtually no problems back then.
Or to put it another way: as of 2000, Our Long National Nightmare Of Peace And Prosperity Is Finally Over
Anecdotally, my job trained every office employee on AI tools back in March, encouraging everyone to think of ways to incorporate the tools into their standard work. As of last week, they’re asking us to get prior authorization to use their AI portal as a way to limit requests.
So some Fortune 500s must be feeling the squeeze on AI.
My partner absolutely loved Lost Records. I thought it took way too long to get going, so I fell off pretty early on.
