The hottest of takes.

Flashing lights on a bike is dangerous. It will steal the driver’s focus, meaning his focus is no longer on the whole roadpicture but on you. Use a constant light. There’s a reason only emergency vehicles use flashing lights.

The greatest sin of Angry Birds 2 is that it breaks the fundamental formula that Rovio themselves once perfected to make their games so addicting: the instant retry.

The map seems to indicate that we up in the Pacific Northwest have been getting adequate rainfall. What it doesn’t indicate is we are in the midst of pretty much the biggest drought on record. Primarily because there’s little or no snowpack in the Cascade Mountains. We had a warm and not particularly wet winter. I was…

I agree, I was confused for a moment when seeing the animation and at first though things were actually worse as I assumed both the west and coast and central through eastern US were all in a drought. It is good to see that there is rainfall across large areas of the country because over here on the west coast it’s…

The color is awkward - orange and reds show high levels of rainfall, not a lack of rain or of intense heat, as you might expect. The result is that the current situation in the US is exactly the opposite of what you’d think it is from a quick glance at the animation.

Val!

She really knows how to pick-o de guy-o.

I CAN’T EAT A DIAMOND!

B uildings are built to withstand them (at least in the western world), children are trained in what to do and, at least in comparison, plenty of people survive them.

I’m no great basketball mind, but to me, he looks like the most pivotal player on that team.

Wow, that’s a great visual. I had no idea it was that tiny.

So I should be using a vacuum to clean floors that may be sticky from say beer being spilled all over them? Vacuuming and actually cleaning floors are two completely different things.

If you balk at the Swiffer’s price and refills, just pop a microfiber towel into the handle. works a treat ,and you can launder them forever. Cheap and cheerful.

Edgy comment at the top of literally every post continues to be edgy and not at all completely tedious.

Why the sandwich fuck not? If your toy is interfering with the duty of rescue workers, fuck your toy. I'm not saying the helicopter pilots should risk their lives by blundering into dronespace, but surely we can find some local skeet-shooters happy to clear the airspace for the safety of our emergency responders.

Actually the sun does rotate on it’s own axis. Due to it not being a solid body it doesn’t do so at the same rate in its entirety. The equator or rotates about ever 24 days while the poles do so every 30+ days. (I don’t remember the exact number.) We are not in any way tidally locked to not be able to see the other…

This kind of blew my mind so I had to do some reading. The title implied to me that the Earth was in a solar-synroneous orbit around the sun, that is, we are always viewing that same side of the sun. This is not the case. Although the sun is gaseous so the rotation isn’t as consistent as it is with a solid planet, it…

Is there any reason why I can’t or shouldn’t put the white vinegar in the fabric softener compartment/dish in my washer? The machine must run that through during the rinse cycle, no?
