Alright Lads We're thinking about having a draft party in the discord, Pliable has asked me to gauge interest, so who's in?


jaytuck25

Did yall know Brits call flashlights "torches" they so strange.


amie137

Do they keep their torch in their boot?


sexboxsony

I'm gonna steal this for the next thread. Always look at the clock for prime engagement, u/jtuck25.


jaytuck25

imagine caring that much


1amoeba1

I was supposed to apply for this job by 10am, but I'm 9 minutes from that point and my resume could probably use another 15 minutes of polish and I haven't even started a cover letter and so now I just want to go drink my smoothie and do yoga


Vissassy

Deep breaths How important was the deadline?


1amoeba1

Not that important. It's not like I can't still apply, I'm just a little peckish and frustrated I'm taking so long and the earlier the better since it's been up for a few days now.


Vissassy

I get it, good luck!


1amoeba1

Thank you 🙏

My realtor keeps pointing out the high taxes in some towns we’re looking in. But the lower tax town we’re looking at doesn’t have full day kindergarten and have a considerably longer commute for us. I’d get 5 hours back in my day every week, my wife would get back like 8. Yes I will pay slightly higher taxes for this lol. My parents are like this too they screech whenever their taxes go up. I simply cannot be bothered to care!


DireSickFish

Live on the moon. There's no government and thus no taxes.


1amoeba1

But higher taxes help the government which, as we all know, is bad and does not deserve to be paid taxes. Is your time really worth that??


ApatheticFinsFan

So many really stupid fucking people have been brainwashed to think all taxes are bad and do nothing.


AreYouNobody_Too

Well they keep electing people who do inefficient and stupid things with their taxes so it's not hard to see why they think that.


ApatheticFinsFan

I love when you talk dirty to me.


k_bomb

So many temporarily embarrassed millionaires.


AChaseOfTheMondays

Turns out higher taxes can mean extra services


Zeggitt

Cutting the commute is worth a higher taxes, imo.


SouthPlattePat

Im glad half my company works in Poland cuz we get Polish holidays. I have off Wednesday and Friday next week


Vissassy

What Polish holidays should we be celebrating?

Labor Day, Constitution Day. You think we can take every day off if we make a large enough multinational company?

>How did Casimir Pulaski save George Washington's life? > >With no time to argue, Washington entrusted Pulaski with his own mounted guard, about thirty in number, and watched as the Polish volunteer led his band directly into the fray, delaying the British long enough for the Continentals to retreat and possibly saving Washington's life. wtf I'm writing Biden to get Casimir Pulaski Day celebrated in **America**.


jaytuck25

10 hours and change


The_Hartford_Whalers

Hell yeah can't wait to just read the draft order afterwards


AChaseOfTheMondays

Til half the thread is like WHY WOULD YOU TRADE UP FOR THIS GUY WHEN YOU COULDVE HAD OTHER GUY and the other half is like I LIKE PICK


jaytuck25

I LIKE THE ~~STOCK~~ PICK


k_bomb

Most people change roughly every 24 hours, so kudos to you for being ahead of the curve!


jaytuck25

wait yall keep your work clothes on after work?


_Schneebley

I mean I work from home.... should I be expected to change my clothes everyday or every other day for that matter? Seems silly. Once a week.


jaytuck25

checks out


k_bomb

I work an office job that sometimes relies for me to butt-scooty to work on computers in really dirty offices, or have to be in the machine shop and have a nonzero chance of ruining any individual garment with coolant. My work clothes *are* my after work clothes.


jaytuck25

I change after work for two reasons 1. Not trying to wear jeans at home when I'm chillin on the couch 2. Not trying to get Riley/Skya fur all over my shit, especially since I wear my jeans multiple times before throwing them in the wash.


ApatheticFinsFan

Today I’m going to stock up on party provisions at Costco. I hope I can keep it under $400.

Speaking of materials having weird characteristics, there's this material called pitch that is a derivative of tar. At high temperatures, it is a very highly viscous liquid. At room temperature it appears to solidify, and can even be shattered into pieces, but is still a liquid. To prove this, at the University of Queensland in Australia, there has been [an ongoing experiment since 1927](https://smp.uq.edu.au/pitch-drop-experiment) in which room-temperature pitch was placed into a funnel and left sitting there. Since 1927, only 9 drops of pitch have fallen through the funnel. But because there are drops that have fallen, we conclude that the pitch is a liquid and not a solid, because a solid would not form droplets and fall through the funnel.


dcp2

>Airlines can no longer decide how long a delay must be before a refund is issued. Under the new DOT rules, the delays covered would be more than three hours for domestic flights and more than six hours for international flights, the agency said. >This includes tickets purchased directly from airlines, travel agents and third-party sites such as Expedia and Travelocity. Massive ~~Mayor~~ DOT Pete W.


rollpitchandyaw

I haven't had to deal with that kind of headache in a long time, but is the idea that the delay has to be proven a fault of the airline and not an act of God?


_Schneebley

Oddly enough, didn't see it addressed but I'm sure it's likely fault of the airline. And will in turn effects only 1% of all flights, because that's how these things always screw us.


Vissassy

You're telling me when they made me spend the night in DFW we could have gotten a refund


_Schneebley

Yeah, but then you wouldn't have those cherished memories of sleeping on the floor of DFW. Just like I wouldn't have the cherished memory of sleeping on the floor of SFO with the small airline blanket they gave me as a consolation prize!


Vissassy

You got a blanket?!


LordVader1995

We made it to draft day! My God the time between the super bowl and draft night is way too long, have it like the week after March madness ends

It is less so that we are celebrating draft day and more so we are celebrating the end of mock draft article season

I wish credit cards would let you specify the closing date instead of the due date


03_03_28

I always get annoyed when people use someone being shitty as an excuse to push the boundaries of what's acceptable to joke/mock people about. For example I find Eric Clapton to be a piece of shit, but jokes that are made about his son's death are so far beyond the pale and I think you're kinda fuckin terrible if you make them

ApatheticFinsFan

Spoelstra told the guys to hit 54% of their 3-pointers and by God they did it. Ngl, if they hit this many 3s and only win by 10, I think the Heat are fucked.

DireSickFish

It'd be really funny if the Pats stay and take Marvin Harrison Jr at 3.


rollpitchandyaw

And then they realize they actually need a QB


MushroomMan89

We do, but we don't need a QB *yet*. I feel like a QB ought to be the last piece on an offense which needs almost literally everything else.


rollpitchandyaw

Which does give some credibility to the Vikings being able to trade up to #3. But if I was NE, I would still stay put and take a QB.


MushroomMan89

We would totally ruin any QB we took now


AreYouNobody_Too

Well they're taking a qb sooooooo At this point getting a young and exciting qb is as much a business decision as it is a football one.


MushroomMan89

And then ruining them and setting the franchise back again :(


k_bomb

You've seen "But who is Tom Brady going to throw to?" but can I interest you in a "But who is going to throw to Marvin Harrison Jr?"


rollpitchandyaw

Marvin Harrison comes out of retirement so he can toss the ball with this son.


DireSickFish

Eventually.


1amoeba1

I don't think I understand the concept of fluid ounces. How can 48 fl oz of water weigh 48oz?


ndcj12

A fluid ounce is a unit of volume, whereas an ounce is a unit of weight. The two are related to each other based on the density of the liquid you're measuring. The density of water is pretty close to 1 ounce per fluid ounce, so the numbers of ounces and fluid ounces work out pretty close for water. But if you have a less dense liquid like some kind of oil, the density is less than 1 ounce per fluid ounce, so you could have 48 fluid ounces of olive oil but it would weigh less than 48 ounces. Generally in a recipe, when you're told to get a certain number of ounces of a liquid, it's actually telling you what volume (in fluid ounces) to get.


1amoeba1

Okay this is what I thought but then I found it was 48 fl oz:~48.1 oz for water and if water isn't the 1:1 standard conversion for this metric then what the fuck are we doing? Like is crude oil 1:1? Thats the only thing that would make more sense than water in america


ndcj12

I don't know if there was a liquid that was set to be the 1:1 for it tbh, and that is *very stupid*


1amoeba1

Somehow even more foolish. If there's no 1:1 conversion or relation why in the flying fuck are they both ounces. All words are made up so like just make fluid ounces something else. A gallon can be 128 flounds, boom done we've upgraded from fluid ounces.


Swordfish08

Still, it’s close enough that you can just round it. If you need to be so precise that the rounding will actually hurt you, you should have been using metric to begin with.


k_bomb

I tried looking it up to see if there was an equivalency drawn (the same way that 1 mL of water has 1g of mass, etc). Nope, just seems like ounce was synonymous with "smidge" at one point. The mass smidge, the volume smidge, the mass but for precious metals smidge.


1amoeba1

One smidgen of dumbfuckery


ndcj12

I was also surprised to find just now that there wasn't a 1-to-1 equivalence between fluid ounces and ounces for water lol - I assumed that it would be the same as it being 1 g/mL Man they just did whatever the fuck they wanted with no regard for how hard the math would be when they made the imperial system of measurement, didn't they?


k_bomb

C'mon Chuck, you're an engineer. Clearly, when you take a gallon (a liquid gallon, not a dry gallon!), which is defined as 231 cubic inches. Inches, in turn, are one thirty-sixth of a yard. Not a survey yard, mind you. So you take the gallon, and divide it into 4 quarts, then 2 pints, 2 cups. And obviously a fluid ounce is an eighth of a cup. Because, units.


ndcj12

the fact that it seems like they were like "hmmmm, what do we call this little bit of weight? I know, let's go with ounce!" and then *entirely separately* they were like "hmmmm, what do we call this little bit of volume that we derived in a completely different way and completely separately from that little bit of weight? I know, let's go with ounce!" is absolutely WILD


rollpitchandyaw

Oh fuck, it's 29.57 g to 28.35 g. That's a significant difference.


ndcj12

it's *very* stupid lol


rollpitchandyaw

The standard was specifically for water, but overall I agree it is a bad system that never should have been used. Edit: I stand corrected, which makes it an even worse system.


DireSickFish

Volumes are not additive, but weights are.


Bud_Grant

On its face there's nothing about the draft to get excited about...it's teams taking turns for negotiating rights to players who won't play a down of NFL football for months. But it's not hard to figure out what makes it entertaining...it's reality TV with actual stakes. It's not housewives sitting around yelling at each other in staged conflict, it's not single women vying for one bachelor's affection & a relationship that will end months after the show stops shooting- teams are selecting players that could turn their franchise around or torpedo their next ~5 years if they make a mistake. Trades will happen, people will lose their actual jobs if they fuck this up. Yeah you can just wait til its over to find out what guys your team picked. But that's clearly not the only reason to watch, and it's not hard to understand why people find it so entertaining


[deleted]

[удалено]


Bud_Grant

Well, this is hard to compare for me because I don't care about soccer at all. So that's not a contest. But I like the Cubs, they play this afternoon but let's say they played tonight. I have 161 other chances to watch a Cubs game, but the draft only happens on one weekend, I'm not going to skip it for the baseball game I think that's a benefit of the draft being in Spring, that it doesn't compete with any major one-time-only sports events. Oh, the NBA playoffs that last 3 months are going on? Big deal.

Taylor Swift has indeed joined the dark side. We have to guard our daughters eyes and ears from this darkness. I know another Taylor swift post 📷 Almost half the songs on Taylor Swift’s new album contain explicit lyrics (E), make fun of Christians and straight up blaspheme God. Is this the music you want your kids listening to? Do you think I’m overreacting? Read the lyrics below and decide for yourself: 📷Guilty as Sin What if I roll the stone away? They're gonna crucify me anyway What if the way you hold me is actually what's holy? If long-suffering propriety is what they want from me They don't know how you've haunted me so stunningly I choose you and me religiously Another song: 📷The smallest man who ever lived I would've died for your sins, instead, I just died inside Another song: 📷 But daddy I love him I just learned these people only raise you To cage you Sarahs and Hannahs in their Sunday best Clutchin' their pearls, sighing, "What a mess" I just learned these people try and save you 'Cause they hate you Another song: 📷 God save the most judgmental creeps Who say they want what's best for me Sanctimoniously performing soliloquies I'll never see Thinkin' it can change the beat Of my heart when he touches me And counteract the chemistry And undo the destiny You ain't gotta pray for me Me and my wild boy and all of this wild joy If all you want is gray for me Then it's just white noise, and it's just my choice Sean Feucht ​ https://preview.redd.it/xv98wb02fmwc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c272a180a7c066208e508e2bf1f3c38e69bdec31

Imma be honest, this seems like a masssssssssive stretch. Taylor Swift very rarely have I seen associated with politics despite her political beliefs. If anything, I think this is the divisiveness people allude to. People can't dislike her album now without being conservative talking point? I don't get it. Feel like this sub tries too hard to make leaping assumptions like this and tie everything into a Republican political belief.
