Found The End Of A Rainbow

One of my earlier memories is being 4 years old after an evening rainstorm in the Summer.

To this day wet rain on hot asphalt is one of my favorite smells and this photo reminds me of it.

actually saved plants.Water saturated in plant cells serves as a protective cover, also known as an insulator, padding the plant cell wall and shielding it from the damaging impacts of a freezing night. Water likewise expands the soil’s capacity to hold heat absorbed from the sun, protecting the plant’s foundations and shielding them from damage.

A Man Using A Disposable Film Camera To Take Pictures At Aaa Baseball Game Today

A camera, hon, you're describing a normal camera, lol! Man, I feel like I'm 92 here. All of our pictures from the '60s until the 2000s were total crapshoots. Take a load of pics at your birthday party, wait two weeks for them to be developed, and find maybe five off the roll (of 24) that are any good. Sounds weird today, I know, but it's how we ended up with odd pictures of Auntie Mary making that face or simply ones where we don't look perfect. Sad to think of the lack of photo albums in the future. All of our memories will be on Facebook or Instagram instead and who knows what we really look like for all of the filters and Photoshopping.

This Bullet That Landed On The Hood Of My Girlfriend’s Car

Shows that shooting a gun up in the air can kill people. There was an episode of Myth Busters where they investigated this. They confirmed it’s true. You can get killed and there have been several confirmed cases.
Nate B 2 years ago
A bullet shot into the air must be shot completely vertically in order for gravity to cancel out the force of the gas propulsion, reducing it to only the terminal velocity of weight of the bullet itself (which is rarely deadly, except to elderly or infants). If the bullet is shot with any kind of angle, it can retain enough of the gas propulsion to be lethal.

The king of hearts traditionally represents Charlemagne (Charles the Great), King of the Franks and Lombardy, and Holy Roman Emperor. The other Kings are also meant to represent historical Kings too, but the queen cards (which came along hundreds of years after the king cards) were all depictions of goddesses like Athena, not real queens.

Half Of My Ice Is Floating While The Rest Is Sinking
The Original Bruno 2 years ago
Probably NOT water ice. Yes, "heavy water" would sink, but that's a large quantity of a rare isotope. Water doesn't float because it has air; it floats because it is very unique in that the molecules can pack in more tightly when they can flow past each other than when they are locked into a crystalized pattern. (There are a handful of highly reactive elements that also do this, and a few other molecules that do this, including one form of Silicon dioxide that makes up much of the Earth's crust.)
Christof Irran 2 years ago
I don't think the ice sank. The ice was dumped into the pitcher first, and then water was added. the ice at the bottom simple got stuck and will eventually float to the surface.

Water expands when frozen so ice floats on water. Any explanation for the photo? Was all the water initially frozen, so it’s still stuck at the bottom?

City wants to widen the road. Billboard is in the way. The owner had several such billboards, and the city demolished a couple of them but didn't pay the owner for it. When they take eminent domain, they're required to pay a fair market value for what they take. The city is trying to argue that the billboards were placed too close to the road, while the owner is arguing that the road was previously widened in the 80's, and is encroaching on the billboard. The argument they made for not paying for the other billboards stems from them arguing that they were traffic hazards.

A lot of business class laptops have these. The keyboard is mounted in a tray so that spilled liquids flow around the keyboard into the tray and drain out instead of ending up on the main board.

They don't do that here these days. Nothing but finely pulverised bone. It wouldn't surprise me if they tipped the body out of the casket and reused it.
La Petite Morte 2 years ago (edited)
I don't know where 'here' is, but this is pretty common. Once a body is reduced in a retort, the remains are pulled out into a pan. That pan is then put into a pulverizer for a few minutes, which is actually just a small machine that vibrates the cremains at a high oscillation rate to break apart any clumps. They then run a large magnet over the cremains to pick up any medical or other miscellaneous metal that might be in the pan, but sometimes pieces won't be picked up by the magnet, depending on polarity. After that they bag them & put them in a temporary urn, usually just a square plastic box. It's not uncommon for crematory workers to skip steps or rush through the process of they're slammed or tired, so this isn't all that unusual in the USA. Especially with older cremains. ~~~ As to 'tipping the body out...' most cremations are done in cardboard containers or simple pine boxes unless the family bought the casket specifically for the cremation. If there was a service with the body present beforehand is common practice to rent a casket just for the service. Besides, if they 'tipped the body out' then the casket hardware wouldn't be in the cremains, now would it?
