  • Whats the deal with tesla theorizing we can transmit electricity through the air? Are we too dumb to figure it out or is it an exaggeration?

    Jump

  • From what I understand, if this technology would have been built out during his time then humanity most likely wouldn’t have developed our semi-processor/radio/computer/telephone technology because the wireless transmission of electricity would have prevented the earliest versions of that tech to work and we wouldn’t have been able to follow that line of technology progression.

  • Alien (1979) predates Predator (1987)

  • During CoVid some friends and I had a virtual movie club called CoVideo Club where we would meet up in VR each week to watch a movie in a virtual movie theater together.

    Over the 200 movies we watched we screened all of the Predator movies. I picked the movies and sometimes I wouldn’t tell others beforehand what we were going to be watching during our next session. None of my friends follow upcoming movies so they had no idea about Prey, what it was or when it was coming out. It had been months since we had watched the last Predator movie so when I screened Prey they had no idea it was a Predator movie. It came out the day before we screened it so there wasn’t much talk about it in the media yet.

    The slow realization they had that we weren’t watching a western but a sci-fi horror movie set in the Predator universe was fun to sit back and watch play out.

    I haven’t seen Prey since but if I remember correctly the first time it dawned on them that this might be a Predator movie was the first time you see the fluorescent yellow glowing blood. They went wild.

  • "fridging" is honestly the only good motivation to become a superhero or good person

  • Yeah bud, I totally would do that.

    I think it is common to have deep feelings for non-romantic partners, friends or family that would be strong enough to compel someone to avenge them if they were hurt or killed.

    I’m not saying anything is wrong with you, we all experience our emotions and perceive the world around us and the people in it different, but as another poster said, you may want to talk to a therapist. Your post indicates you may have some stuff you can get help with that may expand your empathy towards others. Not an accusation but some friendly advice.

    Personally, I had a lot of anger when I was younger that severely limited my empathy towards others. If I could have sorted it out in therapy a couple decades earlier than I did I know my life would have been better earlier. The connections I now have with me family and friends is deeper than I once thought possible.

    It was hard to face my past and who I thought I was but once I did let go of all of that baggage I had much more space within myself for others.

  • It’s not lazy to ask someone who seems to know something about the topic within a discussion thread about said topic. You know more than I do on this.

    I understand how you may not want to take the time to answer someone’s question but also you could have replied with the link you eventually did instead of saying “Seriously?” Within the context of calling others lazy you could also qualify under the same term since you took the time to respond but not with the answer.

    With search being what it is nowadays I wouldn’t know if I am getting a good result to find out the answer since it is of a technical and specific nature I may or may not even know if I am familiar with to begin with. It could take me much longer to figure it out, or I will give up and not be interested in finding out more about a field you seem to have an interest and knowledge about and I am demonstrating I want to know more about.

    I think it is fair to ask for more information from someone who shows more expertise in the topic before searching.

  • Agreed!

    I don’t know what this is but it is a topic I am somewhat familiar with and it is somehow significant enough to be a headline.

    Curious minds would like to know more.

  • Paper towel or napkin works too for getting enough grip to manipulate a mango seed without it slipping.

  • What is the right way to eat a Mango?

  • Love the passion you have for this and you clearly have experience. Mango is my favorite fruit, by far.

    I have questions.

    *Why should I be shamed for cutting them into skinless squares?

    *If I didn’t eat them it with a fork should I still be shamed for cutting mango into skinless squares?

    *What is cutting into cups? Sounds like a style of cutting/preparing but also could be just the receptacle you use to hold the mango, so I am confused by the ambiguity.

    *It seems that your mango experience is South Asian centric, as you point out, but have you had much experience with Central/South American mangos? If so, how are they different from your preferred mango varietals?

    Thank you for the list of mangos I should try. I may have had several of them before as I have travelled through South Asia several times, but alas, it was in the less mango informed days of my youth.

    Keep on keeping on, mango buddy!

  • That white guy on the Cracker Barrel logo they were trying to get rid of.. Is his name just Cracker?

    Jump

  • I know, right?

    Seems like there would be a better way but I guess that’s just how things were before cardboard was invented.

  • Crackers came in barrels, honestly that is the real answer. Back in the day it was how crackers were packaged/stored/shipped.

  • What's the most visually appealing phone you've had so far?

    Jump

  • Yes! When I saw this post the Nokia 7380 was instantly where my mind went. I had the exact same phone, it was rad.

    I remember at the time it was referred to as a “lipstick style” case. Loved that thing. I still have it in a box of old electronics somewhere, been thinking about digging it out and seeing if I could get it working again but assumed it wouldn’t on the current cellphone frequencies. I stopped using it when I got the original iPhone at release, so that was 18 years ago I guess. Haven’t not had an iPhone of some variation since.

    The simplicity of it is what I always loved about the form factor. Yeah, it sucked for texting but maybe I shouldn’t be writing long texts nowadays anyway. It was fine if you are just replying with a couple words to a text. That reflective one way mirrored screen, real leather and simplicity of the buttons was a great mix of form and function for me at the time.
