15·1 month agoIt’s because of the tree’s “shadows” on the lake.
There is a dirty spot right where a shadow should be on the right trees and the tree in the yard blocks all the shadows of where the other trees should be.
If you removed the tree and cleaned the wall it wouldn’t look like a lake at all.
Every animal in the comic should be a horseshoe crab.

Definitely worth notifying everyone that could have came in contact.
A picture is worth a thousand words
“Hi I am…I am looking for sex”
If you are using a dating website and actually trying. You’d look at a profile, read their bio, and then send a message that had something to do with their bio. (Could also comment on pictures)
But it is a numbers game to an extent and most messages sent will never see a reply.
So what is the least effort highest reward thing to send first? Private picture.
They are hoping that the person opens it and it catches their eye.
If their first thought is to send a private picture, they are not really looking for small talk. So it has the added bonus of weeding out non-sexual people.
It’s no risk, high reward
Dang you would have gotten BoobSmiles too
I get that
I wouldn’t buy diamonds or gold hoping they increase in price just as much as I wouldn’t buy bitcoin to do the same.
If you offered me 1USD in Gold, Diamond, or Bitcoin.
I would take the gold. It has the most intrinsic value.
The probably that gold hits 0USD is less than bitcoin hitting 0USD.
The only reason you’d take bitcoin is if you think that it has a higher ceiling. Intrinsic value is the floor. But that is gambling
3·3 months agoCraps is almost a team game.
If everyone plays the Pass Line (Shooter, the person throwing the dice has to play it) then everyone wins/loses together.
Everyone at the table playing the Pass Line is pulling for the shooter to make his point.
Now imagine if you have one person out of 8 playing the Don’t Pass. The person playing Don’t Pass line is hoping the other 7 players lose so that they can win.
It’s almost equivalent to everyone at the roulette table playing black. And you walk up and say “I hope it comes red”. Like why don’t you just hope it comes black so you can win when everyone wins?
My brother takes the dice and rolls the point. Everyone places their chips. I place my chips. The dealer asks me, “Did you mean to put your chips on the Don’t Pass Line?” “Yes, that’s exactly what I meant to do.” Silence. Then my sister: “You’re an asshole.” My brother rolls again: seven. The Don’t Pass Line wins me a couple bucks.
This doesn’t make any sense
- Once the point is established by the shooter on the come out roll, you cannot play Pass or Don’t Pass lines.
So after your brother takes the dice and rolls the point. You cannot place your chips on Pass/Don’t Pass. Maybe why dealer was confused?
- Don’t Pass Line pays on shooter rolling 2 or 3 on come out roll. You’d lose if he rolled a 7. Pass Line wins if shooter rolls a 7 on come out roll.
Second roll was a 7?
You’d have bet Don’t Pass before your brother ever rolled the dice for a second roll 7 to win the Don’t Pass
Bets after the shooter’s first come out roll are usually Come/Don’t Come bets.
If you made a Don’t Come bet instead of a Don’t Pass (Dealer was confused from your illegal play and considered it a Don’t Come bet.) You’d still lose if a 7 were rolled second. So that doesn’t make sense.
If your first bet was after your brother rolled once. The only way you’d win with him rolling a 7 on his second roll would be to play a SEVEN bet. Which would be an even bigger dick move than Don’t Pass because it’s a one turn bet that your brother was going to roll a 7.
I guess most likely you played the don’t pass before your brother ever rolled
But if that was all we used it for, the price of gold would be a tine fraction of what it is
That’s intrinsic value.
Gold and diamonds have intrinsic value
Gold is needed for computer parts, and diamonds are used for cutting
They are more than just shiny
Their value will “never” hit 0 (Bitcoin would be worthless without gold for computers)
Yes, we could find substitutes in the future, but for the substances to not be useful somehow is so low and would have to be an apocalyptic scenario. And in an apocalypse, gold could even be worth more.
The Emergency Department contains emergency rooms
Ask any emergency doctor. They work in the ED.
Only someone that doesn’t work in the ED says ER
I have under good authority this situation happened.
Man goes into ED with 🍎 in butt. Apple was removed.
Man goes into ED with 🍎 in butt. This time the 🍎 that was removed had two bites. They thought the bites would let them grab it.
If you break the bottom of a💡 the globe becomes weaker. Which is essentially what is in the picture. Probably thicker than a light bulb. I’d say it would be hard to break.
You could hack a futuristic firmware upgradable power knife, but how do you hack it to hack off fingers?
Aliens had the supernatural power to be the machines
A self driving tesla trapping people in a gas station is 100% more believable than the semi.
Something is there…
In a mmmbop it really is gone
Thought of something else. Your water heater stays on 24/7.
The only hot water I use in the morning before I go to work is to wash my hands.
If I don’t get home until let’s say 5. I’d need to wash my hands some more but I don’t need hot water until I take my shower at 9.
So really I would be keeping 80 gallons of water hot for 23.5 hrs so I can use ~30 gallons in 15 minutes.
It’s only keeping it at ~120°-140°F (~50°C) compared to 210° (99°C) of the instant hot water tank.
I have a tankless water heater so that’s not a problem for me, but seems crazy thinking about it now.
Which leads me to my next thought. I wonder if they make tankless under sink hot water dispensers?
I’m talking about an instant hot water dispenser which can put out 210°F or 99°C almost instantly.
You have three main ways to heat water for something like tea.
1 Boil on stove top
2 Electric Kettle
2.5 Electric Kettle with larger tank and dispenser (Zojirushi)
3 Instant hot water faucet with heater tank under cabinet
*Microwaving water can be very dangerous
My opinion is while opinion 3 is the most costly, it is super nice and convenient if you use it often.
I’ll add this too:
You can get a filter for the dispenser. Pure drinking water and hot water while reducing scale buildup.
I don’t have a filter on mine and I have never done any descaling or maintenance on it in 7+ years other than cleaning the faucet like I would any other faucet.
Pro:
- Instant hot water on tap 24/7 (Instant cool drinking water 24/7)
- Able to easily filter water
- Unlimited water (No refilling unit)
Con:
- Extra electricity
$30 extra a year?
Like would you pay $2.50-$5 monthly subscription for unlimited instant hot/cold filtered water on tap whenever you want it? (above $2.50 would be for cold and filter if you choose those options instead of just hot. Since I assume cold takes more energy and you have to replace filters)
Doesn’t make sense for everyone, and you do have to think about the upfront cost. You can get a tank for ~150, then the faucet can be ~50 to whatever you want to pay.
So maybe if your Zojirushi ever breaks. I enjoy my Zojirushi bread maker a ton.
Some form of torture. The thing about torture is you can always add “and then…”
Psychological and physical
Imagine being forced to rip off your significant other’s fingernail.
And you might say “There’s no way I’d do that”
Sadly you will. Either to save yourself or them from more torture.
You will do it, we all would. That’s scary.
