This Sign Is Outside My Local Church, Think It's A Good Day To Share It
Bobby 3 years ago
This is one of the few pictures I've ever seen on BP of Christians being Christian. As a non Christian I can tell you this reflects what I took away from Christ's teaching when I read the Bible

Agreed. And if people chose to actually study each religion they would find that the same truths are at the core of each of them.

Signs are an unavoidable part of our lives. We need them to get from one place to another when driving in the car, to advertise events and information, to learn the daily specials at our favorite restaurant, to know whether to push or pull a door to avoid making a fool of ourselves and to know if our car will get towed for parking in that spot that looks suspiciously available. Signs are all around us. And while most of them look similar to one another, sometimes they are made by great designers who ensure that they stand out and get their point across in the most effective way.
To learn more about the importance of great signage, we reached out to Tim Harrelson, CEO of the South Carolina based company The Sign Chef. “Between the physical world and the online world, the competition for attention is at an all time high,” Tim told Bored Panda. “Simultaneously, attention spans seem to be at an all time low. Our senses are constantly being bombarded! Moving forward, organizations need to be strategic in how the content is displayed on their signs.”

Same here. Or make a home appointment (rate was absurdly low, like 20euro/dollar/pound dor a home visit, (on top of normal euthaniasia rate) Highly recommended to do it at home. At least inquire about these options. Our other "weekend' vet, has a separate room, away from the rest, couch, tv, wet proof blankets, like a little living room, all to make it less awful. Still normal rates around 100 (and at home 120)

This hit me hard :( I just said goodbye to my kitten a few weeks ago, on September 18th. She had gotten hit by a car, and when we took her to the vet, we were told there was no hope, and that she would have to be put down. I screamed and sobbed so hard, I couldn't even breathe, and then I felt so embarrassed because there were so many people there besides me, and I could hear them talking about why I was crying. If someone is crying like that, they have most likely been told they need to say goodbye, so please be kind.

Numerous studies have shown that one of the biggest flaws in "trickle-down economics" is that the big businesses and top 1% (that control about 75% of the wealth) create jobs. Be a huge margin, most new jobs are created by small businesses and middle class people. It's pretty obvious if you think about it. They're the ones who are driving to expand and get bigger. The big ones are always figuring out how to down-size to make more profits.
Kate Koppen 1 year ago
yes, the more big business earn, the more they try to kick out employees. As long as there is profit, there must be too many people, right? Instead of investing in growth and efficiency, they rip their company apart to keep it running at bare bones and then are surprised when there is ONE crisis and their system topples.

I'm glad farmers markets are so popular these days-I live in a rural area, and lots of farms nearby sell produce like eggs and vegetables at their gate for a fraction of the price you'd pay in a supermarket, but you'd have to trek around for ages to get everything you need. Having a farmers market means you're shopping locally and supporting small businesses, but in a more convenient way.

We also asked Tim how the process of designing signs works for him and his company. “Most graphic designers start with the size of the sign - then the lettering & graphics are added. Think backwards," he explained. "A more strategic approach can be taken by having the design reverse engineered for maximum impact. This design strategy starts with the viewing distance. How far away does your target audience need to be able to read the sign?”
“Once the distance is measured, a Letter Sizing Calculator can be used to scientifically determine the very best letter sizes,” Tim continued. “As an example, what is the best letter size if the viewing distance is 110 feet? When you type 110 feet into the calculator, you’ll instantly see 22 inches is recommended for maximum impact - easy.”

Suburban design is such a ponzi scheme that it's not actually possible to collect enough taxes to pay for basic repairs and maintenance on roads or adjacent infrastructure, so there's definitely not money lying around to pick up after disgusting litterbugs. The only thing paying for repairs and maintenance on existing infrastructure is taxes collected from new construction (hence why it's a ponzi scheme) and occasional infrastructure bills that only serve to bail out our ongoing failure that is the American suburban experiment.

A lot of comments asking if this is in men's bathrooms. It's true that men may have an awful date however, men are very unlikely to be murdered or raped by their date, whereas it's very common for that to happen to a woman. Men can easily leave without fear whereas women are not given that same luxury. Also as a safety precaution, it would be good for men not to know about this as they're often the aggressor

It's surprising how many people think it's funny to do these kinds of things. Stand outside the animal's enclosure and have a go at the noises they make. I'm less surprised that zoos don't think it's a great idea in some instances. My neighbour's children seriously wind up my dogs by standing outside and barking at them. I always stop my dogs when they start barking at something (often the their football bashing our fence for the billionth time), wish the parents next door would consider returning the favour.

The wolves stress because they think someone has invaded their territory, a howl is a cry for help or for another wolf to join in the chorus. Howling with your own dogs in your own home is fine though as you are their pack leader đ

Load More Replies... Mabelbabel 3 years ago
In antenatal/maternity clinics, it's common to have different coloured specimen cups. The pregnant person usually gets their urine sample dip sticked each visit, so you're expected to produce a sample. In the bathroom, there's a sign saying that if you want to discuss something in private with the midwife or doctor, put your sample into a different coloured cup. The midwife will then know to get the person on their own, away from anyone who may have accompanied them to the clinic. A significant proportion of domestic violence starts during pregnancy, so if you have a violent or controlling partner, they may try to keep you from talking to the staff without them being present.

Exceeding speed limits occurs only because we choose for it to be possible. The technology to prevent it has never been easier or cheaper than it is today. ¶ The US road system kills 35,000 people annually because we like it that way. It's exciting, tooling down the highway, knowing that at any moment you may die, or see someone else die. It's so orgasmically thrilling that, not content with the actual body count, we spend billions of dollars simulating death-by-automobile, and train our children to revel in it as soon as they can reliably control their thumbs. ¶ Having killed all our natural predators and being unsatisfied with killing each other directly, humans have to create technologies to help us die faster and more violently.

All private properties have areas of public access; for example a delivery person can presume access to your front porch to set a package by your door. So long as it is built to code and you haven't introduced any hazards, you aren't responsible for the clumsiness of others. If your space isn't in compliance (ex. your porch requires a railing by code but you don't have one) then you're exposing yourself to liability.

I might get downvoted for this, but it was something I heard from someone else with autism and I was curious... Apparently Asperger's was a Nazi term for autism and it has mostly stopped being used? This might be wrong, so I apologise if it was in any way offensive

As an autistic adult I carry a lot of this sort of stuff with me at all times. What would be really nice for inclusion and accessibility is to make spaces sensory friendly in the first place - to think about noise, lighting, etc and if it's really necessary. Just providing some quiet, low sensory times makes a big difference.
JustAFan 3 years ago
Agreed. Most people who need these would probably have them already, but you can't always find sensory-friendly spaces. The puzzle pieces aren't fantastic either, but this is definitely a good start.

I think I need a pair of those headphones to go with my stress ball. I have not been diagnosed (or even tested) for any sort of sensory disorder, but I still get overwhelmed in loud/crowded places. I do have social anxiety, which I'm working on, but it's always been there.
Huddo's sister 3 years ago
I have social anxiety and I have a few fidget rings (that look really pretty too) that I have found useful. I also have fibromyalgia, so the combination of the two leads to some days where I have sensory overload. Things have been a lot better for me recently, and I hope you have plenty of good days too :)

A Buffet Restaurant's Sign
Monday 3 years ago
I think buffet restaurants should charge people extra for food left over. Obviously if you only leave a couple of bites that would be fine, but if your leftovers are portion sized you should be charged for that portion.
Bobby 3 years ago
I dislike the buffets that don't allow you to take home a reasonable amount of left over. Like let's say I have a little bit of ham left over but I'm stuffed. That would make for a great sandwich later. But I also understand there need to be rules in place to prevent abuse of the system

This Sign Explains Why Feeding Ducks Bread Isn't A Good Idea

Frozen peas/petit pois go down very well with our local ducks. By the time you get there, the peas have defrosted and they float really well, just bobbing along. As for garden birds, they eat all sorts. I put out my cats left over cat food (the stuff left out that they didn't eat-it goes a bit dried out after a few hours) It must be like eating worms because my garden birds gobble it right down. They also eat left over vegetables, pastry, bacon rinds, etc.

You should look up Herculaneum. It was buried at the same time as Pompeii, but much deeper. So the level of preservation is even better. (Pompeii was 4-6 meters, Herculaneum was around 25 meters.) Sadly, most people have never heard of it.

Pompei is inspiring and rather depressing at the same time. The latter because you can see how advanced the Roman society was; women owned property, many homes were comfortable for the most part with plumbing, central heating, sliding doors etc and Pompeii was really just an outpost. Then Romans had their âfallâ and Europe went backwards into the dark.

I used to be a regular donor. Then I learned that my blood type is pretty useless in the big picture. I'm AB+. My blood can only go to another AB+. But if we AB+ folks need blood, we can get A+, B+, AB+ or O. But I am in the marrow donor program.
Reese L 3 years ago
Made an account just to reply to this: please don't stop donating! As a hematologist, I can tell you there are many other benefits you can provide to others. AB donors are actually considered universal plasma donors (plasma is the fluid your blood cells and other proteins float in) because their bodies do not make antibodies against A or B proteins, which can be crucial for some patients. It is possible to donate plasma alone. Also, blood banks manage their inventory carefully and if they can use your red blood cells for an AB patient they may be able to save a unit of O blood for someone else who needs it. The blood banking system is an amazing and life-saving enterprise that depends entirely on our willingness to help each other! Thanks for being a part of it.

UV light is marginal for plant growth; the bulk of energy comes from wavelengths that appear blue and red to us.

Too high energy light would give them sunburn! (Yes, plants can get sunburn, too)

We apparently were too dense to figure it out and for years just used whichever restroom we felt like using at that moment. After we (finally) figured it, out we laughed at how many funny looks we would get but none of us were ever accosted or even asked nicely to leave if we were in the "wrong" one. I guess we were ahead of our time... on accident. (we all also continued using whichever one we felt like using)

Anyone can use a cubicle so going into the "wrong" bathroom makes no difference. You'll get a toilet to use and if you open the door and see a urinal and don't want to use it you can just leave and go to the other one. Nobody is going to be scarred for life seeing the back of someone using a urinal. Also who the heck doesn't at least learn the words "emergency exit" and "toilet" in the language of whatever place they're visiting?

Nope. Nothing against gender neutrality but public toilets should be separated to prevent perverts coming in. Deprived men will slide their phones at the cubicle gap. Or they will stick a hidden camera on top of the cubicle door.

I had no idea that it went to that level (no pun intended). And now I'm wondering, where do you draw the line on what is classified as machinery? By definition the vibrate function on your phone is machinery, do you switch that off? But then you still couldn't call or text someone else because then you could be operating their vibrate function. Does the lock on your front door count as a machine because of the levers and tumblers or is a mechanism different? What about a bicycle? I'm not being flippant, genuinely curious.

Sorry but even as someone who joins in every year, you shouldn't have to hide at home with your lights off. Lots of reasons why you don't want to join in, and that's fine. When we run out of sweets, we cover the door bell, and put a sign on the door. Still get visitors. Last year, I covered the doorbell, put a sign up, then blocked the path with a decorate, that also had a sign up. Still had people knocking on the door.
