My unpopular opinion: Girls should be taught basic self defense in physical education and boys should have sensitivity training. Maybe then we can end the cycle of this toxic masculinity brainwashing.

So many women are gymnasts and cheerleaders but they can't fight? Guys would back off pretty quickly when I showed them I could perform a kick that would rake the sole of my boot across their face. Women's weapons are their feet, and chuncky boots are excellent weapons.

    Us Swedes pay for it with taxes. I absolutely LOVE paying taxes. No joke. It’s like the ultimate, most unbelievable super-bargain in the whole history of bargains. It’s like finding a signed and forgotten Rembrandt in the attic. It makes EVERYTHING available, to EVERYONE - school, childcare, healthcare, mental healthcare, organizational support, roads, trains, eldercare, school lunches… the list goes on and on an on and on. Also you can rest easy in the knowledge that if someone can’t fend for themselves, you’re helping to pay for what they need. Taxes are AWESOME. So taxes is a good way of paying for healthcare and education - since it works fine here I guess that would be my first suggestion.

    I live in Indianapolis, and NODA are wonderful people. My friend's son (he was 33) was in a terrible car accident while she was out of town. The hospital called her and told her to get there because he didn't have much longer. I picked her up at the airport and took her to the hospital. When we got there, there was an older gentleman holding her son's hand and reading to him. He had been there for a few hours and was ready to stay until the end if his mom couldn't make it. Luckily she did make it to say goodbye and donated his organs. That gentleman stayed with mom all the way through the honor walk through the hospital It was so sad and so brave.

    I'd do it. Never heard of such. After a life time of working and raising my girls, I find myself with lots of time on my hands. I've thought of various volunteer work but programs like meals on wheels seem to be some special club that requires more than wanting to help out in some way. Yes, I'll check VA and such. Thanks for this post. I'm excellent at reading out loud. Maybe that would be a comfort.

    “We like to share mostly fun facts because they bring smiles to the reader,” the founder pointed out. However, they said that there’s other types of “useful and useless info” on their page as well. And indeed, some random facts might seem more useful when it comes to the day to day; however, that doesn’t make the rest of them any less interesting.

    The creator believes that such information can benefit followers in numerous ways, as you never know when it might come in handy in real life. “These are also conversation starters between people,” they added.

    I would like the entire republican party recognized as one individual group of people. Also, this should apply to Supreme Court Judges, too. Apparently, they can't be trusted to be impartial, fair and ethical. They, unlike every other judge int he country, do not have a code of conduct they need to abide by. That's why Thomas could accept the bribes he did for so many years. It's not right.

    You might be wondering, what drives our interest in such random facts? Or in seeking new information in general? The answers lie in the way our brain is wired.

    Brain World Magazine pointed out that it’s the novelty of it all that makes us happy. Research on brain health and longevity revealed that facing new things, be it experiences, skills, knowledge, or anything else, is followed by a rush of dopamine—a chemical that’s known for making you feel good.

    It didn't happen quite like that. Danny Boyle, who directed the opening ceremony had the idea about featuring Bond, and he pitched it to the organising committee. Lord Sebastian Coe, former athlete and Olympic champion, was a member of the committee, and he was asked to find out whether the queen would be interested. He is a friend of Princess Anne (she's also former Olympic athlete and on the IOC) and she asked what helicopter they planned to use, because her mother knew all about helicopters. Initially, when they went to film the Palace scenes, they were going to use an actress and needed Angela Kelly, the queen's wardrobe dresser, to give them access to the outfit the queen would be wearing. It was at this point the queen asked if she could be in it, and then she demanded a line to speak. Her only condition was that none of her family was told beforehand. They knew about the filming at Buckingham palace but they all assumed it was going to be an actress.

    It's more the case that Japan is equipped with a network of earthquake sensing equipment, which use the earthquake's P-waves to estimate likely intensity of the earthquake at given locations; this information is then used to generate alerts (television, radio and mobile phones) and other purposes such as stopping trains (not just the high-speed trains).

    According to Brain World Magazine, humans, like most mammals, instinctively prefer novelty as long as it doesn’t pose a threat of some sort. (And unless your computer is guarded by dragons, browsing random facts online sounds like a pretty safe thing to do.)

    But over time, instinct alone became not enough; as our brain developed, we started analyzing the experiences and learning from them. And since new experiences made us feel good, so did learning about them.

    Therefore, whether it’s reading a book with unexpected plot twists, learning about an interesting topic at school, or familiarizing yourself with random facts—it’s all novelty to our brain, which makes us somewhat happy.

    So annoying when you get the companies saying how wonderfully 'environmental' they are and how 'green' they are and care about this that and the other and all the time there they are with product after product having planned obsolescence.

    I cannot comprehend how apple have gone from producing virtually indestructible, upgradeable and repairable computers to have soldered everything onto the motherboard (even storage and ram) I'm using a 12 years old Mac mini for hosting a bunch of websites and it is fully upgraded, running continuously for over 3 years since I bought is on eBay and shows no sign of dying any time soon. On the other hand the only way to upgrade a recent MacBook Pro is to sell it and buy another one. Absolutely disgusting

    Yeah the materials they use are cheaper I think, + their guarantee is limited in time (but you can PAY if you want an extension of it) thus you find yourself with a broken machine 2 weeks past the guarantee … No need to repair it they then say, it will be cheaper to buy a new one …what a waste

    Tivo did this with their DVR's when they were popular. They'd sell you an expensive lifetime plan, but that plan only pertained to that particular Tivo, and they were designed to fail in 5 years or less. I actually got a Tivo employee to admit that to me on the phone when he told me I was lucky to get 5 years out of it.

    This seems difficult to prove their intent. My understanding is they claim the software slows the processor based on battery integrity. As the battery starts to fail, the processor runs slower in order to extend battery life. So they're slowing the phone while extending the battery life.

    It really should be the user's choice of whether he prefers a quick phone at the cost of shortening the battery life or the oposite. But Apple being Apple they always think that they know what is best for the customer, even better than he/she does. When they "saved my battery" by making my phone so slow that it said "turn right in the next crossing" AFTER I had passed the crossing when I tried to use it for navigation, my phone became pretty useless and I would have prefered if things had just stayed as they were.

    The Brain World Magazine article also pointed out that the way new experiences and information stimulate the brain affects our memory as well. While the ordinary days from your past might get lost in the haze, those that presented unexpected events seem clearer on memory lane.

    According to Science Daily, it takes both the familiar and the unexpected to form the most memorable events. Based on psychology professor Dr. Sederberg’s insight, they arise when something rather unpredictable happens in a familiar context.

    I've always done this. It really is comforting, plus you can play a game on your tablet while not missing what's going on. I can't even count the number of times I've seen Criminal Minds, GoT, Justified, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, True Blood, Dexter, Jessica Jones, IASIP, Silicon Valley, The Good Place, Outlander, Rick & Morty and a few others. I've also been watching 3-4 eps of The Simpsons every single night as I fall asleep since around '96. They're all comfort shows. I just wish I could occasionally forget I know them so well and watch them all again for the first time.

    I am so serious right now. Almost all cats love getting high. I know there's going to be some of you that have cats that don't, but I worked at a vet hospital and most all cats love their post surgical or hospice meds. Dogs not so much. They don't seem to like losing control of their jobs (protecting their people). Cats on the other hand, LOVE it. Swatting at invisible grasshoppers and all that good s**t.

    In an article for Psychology Today, Shahram Heshmat, an emeritus professor at the University of Illinois Springfield, emphasized that emotions play an important role here as well. He stated that emotionally charged events are remembered better than neutral ones and pointed out that “nothing focuses the mind like surprise”, coming back to the importance of novelty.

    Both of these might add to the fact that we often remember a shocking thing we saw online last week better than what we had for lunch yesterday. And unsurprisingly, the internet is full of such astonishing, inspiring, heartbreaking, and in other ways emotionally charged news.

    The ‘Weird Facts’ Facebook page is just a teeny tiny fraction of all the random information online. According to Statista, back in 2020, the total amount of created, captured, copied, and consumed data globally reached 64.2 zettabytes.

    If you’re interested in how much a zettabyte actually is, it’s a thousand exabytes. If that’s of no help, it’s also equal to a billion terabytes, which equates to a trillion gigabytes. 

    No matter which way you look at it, it’s a humongous amount of data, which means you ought to find the information you’re looking for. Plus, something completely unrelated, yet likely not less interesting; maybe even shocking enough to stick in your long-term memory.

    Most sharks are actually quite friendly, I bet that shark was not going to attack them unless there was blood or it was very very hungry.

    Justifying the office space & build-out is an excuse some companies use, which just seems ridiculous. There are some factors dependent on the type of business. For example, my hubby is a medical provider, doing clinic, lab and hospital. It’s not just the providers or allied professionals, but even the custodial, dietary, valet, and other support jobs that are needed on-site to maintain all their certifications. Particularly their trauma status. All the clerical and admin jobs that could be done from home or on na shorted workweek actually count in the staff to patient ratio as far as fire & other emergencies are concerned. With 30% of admin working from home, they no longer meet their trauma level. Which just seems weird given clerical work isn’t direct patient care. I suppose the idea is that they’d help evacuate or spring into action given an outside disaster or fire or whatever.

    Employers are influenced by management concepts that focus on the observable production of an individual. "How much hay did you gather? How many reports did you generate?" And, of course employers seek to observe and measure these values through direct observation if possible. My sense is these values are far better measured through looking at the contribution to the mission. Contrary to popular belief, many or even most of the entrepreneurs at a given time are inadequately trained in management and often make abhorrent decisions. They need help.

    This is partly because of there has been widespread literacy in Iceland for a long time. Reading old texts for generations has preserved familiarity with the form of the language used in them. The same things happens in English with very popular texts such as the King James Bible or Shakespeare's plays. Words and phrases that would have disappeared from the language have been retained because they are familiar to so many English speakers.

    Because anything proudly displayed is "art". My personal favorite was at a modern art museum in France in the 80s. Go to IKEA and buy a basic tall wooden stool. Paint it gloss black. Go to the grocery store and buy a chicken egg and paint it gloss yellow. Place the egg on top of the stool and proclaim it is "ART". Me and my friend laughed when we saw that.

    I had a Sammy when I was in college. We were walking late at night near the campus one time when someone started following me. I ran up to a house, but she tugged her leash free. I heard horrible snarling and a man's scream. After he ran off and I went to retrieve my dog, there was only a small pool of blood on the sidewalk. Good dog!

    The amount of data we process each day includes social media as well, which has the power to, over time, affect the structure of our brain. Houston Business Journal pointed out that it influences people’s social and emotional response, the capacity for attention and processing information, and, you guessed it right, memory. In addition to that, similarly to novelty, social media notifications also release dopamine, which makes people feel good and seek the feeling again.

    I spent my entire life being told that she was a distant cousin of ours on my mother's side of the family. I wrote more than one paper about her while I was in school and everything. Fast forward to last year when my mom did a deep dive into our family tree and discovered that we are not related to Edith Cavell at all... My life is a lie 😭 Obviously she's someone to look up to regardless, but it was really, really sad to find that out. There IS an Edith Cavell in our family, but she's not THIS Edith Cavell ☹️

    Beethoven was actually a really horrible guy- he was manipulative, greedy, a liar, cheater, and a biography book I read in him described him as an ‘incestuous homosexual’. I don’t care about the homosexual part, what I do care about is that he sent love letters to his NEPHEW. Etc, etc, etc. really just a bad dude.

    Every ring tells a story, stories that ended sooner than they should’ve. So many people never got a chance to do what they wanted. Many love stories were destroyed, kids never got a chance to grow up, people never had a chance to start a family, get a better job or improve themselves. May all victims of the war rest in peace.

    The most horrifying thing is: these were not even victims of war. They were victims of a sick ideology or whatever you might want to call it. I like to think of myself as a pacifist, but then again all these people ( probably more) would still have been killed if WWII had never happened, perhaps it would have been less if it had happened earlier. I say that as a German who is horrified that there are again politicians (elected into parliament!) in this country who consider "Hitler and the Nazis [...] just a speck of bird poop in more than 1,000 years of successful German history" (Alexander Gauland, June 2018)

    When you visit the Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC, you start at the top floor and work your way down. It becomes increasingly more dark and depressing as you descend. On either the third or the second floor (I don't remember which) there is a display with a very large bin full of used black shoes, all collected at the camps. I've been there twice, and that is the spot where I mentally have had enough. Both times my brain has said, "Enough." It is devastating to see what horrors humans can inflict on one another.

    I know some will disagree, or try and say that "violence begets violence", but my grandparents on my non-biological dad's side lost most of their relatives to the Holocaust while both of the served in the United States Navy during WWII, so my opinion has always been "The only good Nazi, is a dead Nazi." This also applies to Neo-Nazis and anyone else who espouses support for White Supremacy, in any form.

    In Washington state (maybe most of US as well??) the state lottery rules are that by playing you give them permission to use your name and likeness. On the one hand I get it - both for advertising and also to show they really are giving out the money and not just, "Trust us, somebody won and it wasn't you" But some folks at least stay anon for a while by not turning in their winning ticket until they have talked to a financial person and taken what precautions they can. I would like to have more money. At least to comfortable level instead of worrying about stuff like affording a new house heater. But I don't want fame.

    I would think that being interrogated for hours and hours on end, while repeatedly being told they know it was you and they have proof lends to many false confessions. You're locked in a room with several "authority" figures just going at you so eventually in order to get it to end you just give in. Same with people who are innocent and want to go to trial and the lawyers insist on taking a plea because they don't think you can win a trial even if they know you are innocent.

    There is a guy (I don't remember his name) in Australia researching pain in the hopes of finding better ways to treat it. He is letting himself be stung/bitten etc by a number of plants and insects as part of the research. He said the tarantula hawk wasp and gympie gympie tree were the worst.

    It's called the Tarantula wasp not because it's as big as a tarantula (although at 90mm in length, it's close)- but because it PREYS on tarantulas. Truly nightmare material.

    I’ve had bee stings & wasp bites that don’t even compare to the broken bones and 5mm kidney stones. Still, the absolute worst pain I’ve ever had, causing me to go into a sort of shock after being able to do nothing but scream for 10 minutes, was the Hawaiian or Jungle Giant Centipede. It was so painfully traumatic I still don’t fully remember it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scolopendra_subspinipes

    Tostones, no, the SW tarantula hawks are definitely NOT gentle. I was stung by one and couldn't move my arm for 40 minutes. The pain was intense and then my arm turned numb. They are beautiful but horrible insects. They inject their venom into a tarantula, lay their eggs in the tarantula's abdomen while the poor tarantula is still alive. The larvae then hatch and feed on the alive tarantula. Sorry, I don't think that is a docile insect.

    They have to donate the food to an organization of some kind, like a food bank. MILs church received food from a local Panera Bread for their Sunday dinners and/or parishioners in need. Usually, IF you can find a restaurant willing to donate food, a designated employee/volunteer must pick it up at a certain time (normally after closing) on certain days and they must be able to load it themselves. Even then, those that donate rarely give anything that needs constant refrigeration (like dairy) or raw meat. Raw vegetables aren't unheard of, but usually they need to be used w/in 24-48 hours or it's unused vegetables. Soup kitchens feeding large amounts of people are usually the first to get these.

    To be clear: “donated” has a legal definition in this case. To non-profits or food banks and the like. NOT donated to homeless on the street or employees. There have indeed been lawsuits for restaurants leaving donated foods at homeless encampments or set out in area with high homeless foot traffic. Restaurants have lost these specific types of cases. There is no legal precedent for a restaurant being held liable for formally donating their leftover inventory. Also, what they can and cannot donate has been debated.

    Same where I live. We are wholly dependent on rain catchment. Luckily we are one of the wettest places on earth. We have a public geothermal utility, but most of us have individual wind turbines and/or solar. We are also dependent on leaching our septic systems to a leach or drain field. We’ve depended on satellite internet until recently and also just got manageable cell coverage. We’re definitely one of the last off-the-grid pockets in the US states.

    This was also true for (British) Mars bars. If the stacker at the end of the production line needs a bathroom break, rather than bringing in a replacement or stopping the line, the bars are left to just pile onto the floor, which is kept sterile, and they are then shovelled into a hopper at the start of the line to produce the nougat layer. (May have changed in detail now, this was back in the 1980s).

    Only confirmed in the UK, and is confirmed to not happen everywhere because there are more Kit-Kats made than available to be "re-worked". For those that do not use "re-worked" Kit-Kat in the chocolayer, the recipe for the chocolayer is proprietary and a trade secret.

    I heard about a woman who hid her boyfriend in the attic of the house she shared with her husband where he lived for 7 years and even managed to move into her new attic when she moved house and her husband had no idea the whole time that his wife was cheating. Eventually the husband became abusive to his wife and the boyfriend ran out of the attic to save her. He shot her husband and they made it look like someone had broken in by locking her in a wardrobe and taking a few valuables. He was eventually caught by the police.

    The sentence is misleading. The ex hadn't lived in the attic for 12 years. They broke up 12 years ago, they lived their lives on their side, but he always wanted to get her back. Just after being released from prison (where he had spent several years for drug and theft related crimes), he broke in and moved into the attic, where he was discovered after 2 weeks. It's still creepy, but 2 weeks, not 12 years.

    Okay, not a good summary of the study at all. First, it was about schizophrenia. Second, female voices activated the right anterior superior temporal gyrus (language processing/social cognition), while male voices activated the mesio-parietal precuneus (visuospatial processing) in addition to the right anterior superior temporal gyrus. Third, couldn't be associated with pitch or behaviour. Fourth, this study is nearly 20 years old and studied only 33 men, that isn't even past a margin of error. All in all, it can be summed up with the meme quote "Your sample sizes are small, your standard deviations are high, your conclusion means nothing, and you should feel bad".

    A lot of people (Americans, especially in sitcoms) make fun of the French for the actions of the government colluding with the Nazis (they surrendered easily), and there is very little mention or praise of the efforts by Le Résistance movement across France by the citizens that did whatever they could to thwart Nazi occupation in France, to save Jews, homosexuals and others the Nazis had deemed as "criminals" or "undesirables", long before the USA decided to get involved in the war.

    I don't know if that's completely true. I think every ally nation thinks it "won" the war and lifts its own "heroes" up. The UK will wax lyrically about Churchill forever. The US has FDR. And even Russia likes to remind people they were on the right side of history for that one. But one of the US's most beloved WII sitcoms, Hogan's Heroes (1965-1971), has a patriotic French POW as one of the main characters. The actor, Robert Clary was a French Jewish person who actually did survive the Nazi concentration camp and just very recently passed away.

    Fun Fact: If you enter an area with a pool, and can smell chlorine, don't get in the water. Pool water should not smell of chlorine, it should smell of water. Chlorine is used to reverse some sort of incident...usually a person peeing or pooing in the pool. The stronger the smell of chlorine, the worst the incident. So, when you go to the hotel pool and the chlorine smell hits you in the face, there's something in the water you don't want to swim with.

    Ah, the Sony BMG Copy Protection Rootkit Scandal. It was a rootkit, it opened vulnerabilities and backdoors for malware. Their attempted "fix" (to cover their behinds) installed another rootkit, only made the files visible instead of removing them, stole more private info, and opened even more security holes.

    It was cheaper and more beneficial to Sony to make the weakest of efforts to remedy the problems. They even doubled down at some points.

    He was the inventor of the "all-kevlar vest", the first vest that incorporated kevlar rather than using kevlar plates. Kevlar being used as insertable plates for body armour came about a year earlier, and kevlar spent the five years prior to Richard's company creating an incorporated vest being tested for use as body armour in the military and police, with kevlar plate armour already being approved for police use.

    Fascinating. Kind of like how plants and water respond to positive/negative music or human interaction. Living in France, I've learned that cheese is an entity unto itself as it is composed of binômes that are affected by the environment it is cultured in. A brie de Meaux tastes different from a brie de Nangis. It is the same with sourdough bread-it tastes different across the globe because the natural airborne yeasts are different and impart a different flavor, even a few miles apart.

    Worked on a cruiseship here... they get put in the kitchen walk-in freezer. We would tape them to a chair before popping them in the freezer. That way you just needed to put them on a wheelchair and off-Board them to an ambulance. That way the rest of the passengers would just think that is is somebody who had fallen ill...Just dropping that little nugget of information.

    Today's elevators are designed to be fail safe in the sense that if the caple breake and the pull from it therefore vanish from the cabin, brakes will automatically pop out and make it stuck in the shaft. This mechanism should prevent people from plumeting to their death should a similar situation occur today.

    It would have been a huge surprise if she hadn't survived. The elevator cab reaches terminal velocity rather quickly due to the air it has to displace and/or compress (think of a clogged syringe). Any remaining speed is quickly bled off when the cab hits the birds-nest made by the counter-balance's steel cable that won to race to the bottom of the shaft, that's several stories high, cushioning the fall.

    And a large part of that success actually came from bypassing part of the hardware intended to slow it down! The information on how to was given to Crash Bandicoot developer Naughty Dog, because they couldn't get the cartoony effects they wanted even though the system was capable. They contacted Sony, ad a person there ended up explaining the throttle and how to bypass it. The information was shared with other game developers, ad the rest is history. There is a video about it on youtube I think.

    What happens if you start with the electric dryer, then dry your hands the rest of the way by blotting them on your pants because the dryer is so d@@@@@ ineffective??

    You might as well have a plague-infested gibbon sneeze your hands dry.

    This is why there aren't any hand dryers in restaurant kitchens because they are so unhygienic

    Still missing sleep over my 4 kids, aging in range from 32 years old to 14 years old. And I don't regret one minute! 😊

    He changed the UPS address. USPS would still deliver to them but at a different location so your comment makes no sense.

    It's because when you bear down to force a poop, you affect the vagus nerve. It can also cause you to have a stroke. My ex occasionally would faint on the toilet, so I started feeding him more fiber.

    I have said it before, but I don't believe this story. She lived in the 1700. A pregnancy with multiples is considered hig risk even today. I don't think she would have survived more than one triplet or quadruplet birth.

    I've seen pictures of an old woman on this data before. I'm guessing she was 35 or so.

    Started before that. I worked on a national talk show (USA) , and we received at least four invitations to weddings where the woman was marrying herself. This was in 1996.

    So, I lol at Nestlé because they sell all kinds of chocolate products in France (and Europe) EXCEPT their infamous chocolate chips (available only in the USA or for a murderous price via Amazon). Instead, to make Tollhouse cc cookies, I've got to use the also incredibly expensive Vahiné petites de chocolat, which are tiny, and not as tasty as Nestlé 's chocolate chips. I'm also irritated by French "brown sugar"- cassonade-which lacks the' je ne sais quoi' of American brown sugar. ( the "quoi" part being that French brown sugar is made from sugar beets and artificially flavored while American brown sugar is ultimately the by-product of rhum manufacturing, hence the "quoi"). I'm not fond of French patisserie at all. It looks pretty, but that's about it. No cinnamon, no other flavors but chocolat or fruit rouge. Even my teens ignore the cookie aisle at the supermarché because it's sablé, sablé, cheap cc cookie, chocolat coated sablé, Oreo, sablé... Recently I made oatmeal cookies and my teens thought I had invented some really awesome treat. I could only find oatmeal in the vegan section of the store.
