All I'm saying is that if you had a tribe of say 100 people and 5 of those people made bows and arrows and hunted deer while 95 didn't and ate grass, then the 95 people would eventually kill the 5, take their bows and arrows and still not eat any meat

Lewy body is one of the most horrific afflictions than can befall a person. We asked a family friend (infectious disease doctor who dealt with HIV/AIDS before it was treatable) about it when a loved one was diagnosed. I’ll never forget his wail of horror and despair.

Elder scrolls six: featuring all your favorite lore mysteries explained - - elder scrolls? Oh they are just skin fragments of the upper case G God. - The Dwemer? Oh they were sleeping on a moon for a while. - Sithis? Oh actually just another regular primordial being, nothing special about him really. Always been around. He’s just subtle that’s all. Hence the assassin cult. - the towers? What towers? What are you even talking about? We threw that thread out back in 2009. - The godhead? Oh yeah that’s just a guy named bill, he ate too many mushrooms and has been taking a nap on his buddy’s futon. Dreamed up this whole reality. Oh by the way, in fallout 5 we’re gonna tell you who exactly fired the nukes first (spoiler alert, it wasn’t the Chinese)

hope you enjoy getting fired for absentmindedly taking your phone out of your pocket

Tried watching "Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction" thinking it was an Unsolved Mysteries kinda thing... it isn't. Each week Jonathan Frakes tells you 5 ghost stories, 2 are "false" (invented by a writer), the rest are "true" (invented by an unpaid writer). The true ones aren't backed up by proof, you are just expected to believe a ghost walked someone's dog or a sandwich predicted a drowning. 10/10

imagina vc ser uma pessoa tao insuportável que nem seus antigos colegas nem os novos vao pra sua cerimônia de estrela na calçada da fama

Dave Foley was ordered to pay his ex-wife $17,700 a month in child support. That was five times what he actually earned. If he set foot in Canada, he would be arrested at the border. When he asked the judge how he’d feed his daughter from his second marriage, he says the court’s answer was simple: “They can rot in hell.” In 1997, Foley was starring on NBC’s NewsRadio and making about $1 million a year. That year, he separated from his first wife, Tabatha Southey. An Ontario judge set his payments at $17,700 a month, or $212,400 a year after taxes, based on his sitcom salary. Two years later, NBC canceled the show. His income dropped by nearly 80%. He went back to court to lower the payments. The judge said no. The court ruled he had made $1 million once, so he should keep paying like he still did. His ex-wife lived in a $2.5 million house on a park in Toronto. Foley rented a small loft in downtown LA. By 2011, he owed more than $500,000 in back payments. Ontario threatened to pull his passport and issued a warrant for his arrest if he came home. In the video below, Foley explains the math: “I’m paying about five times my income every month in child support, based on a show that hasn’t been on for 12 years.” He couldn’t work in Canada again until he landed a new sitcom in 2014 and had his paychecks garnished at the source. The case for the court: a parent shouldn’t get to slash support just because their career slows down. The case for Dave: locking a canceled actor into 1990s sitcom money under threat of prison is extortion. Should child support be tied to what you earn today, or the best year you ever had?

As someone who sells A LOT of wall and roof sheathing—every product has their own pro’s and con’s. OSB has come a long way since its invention. You actually use MORE of the tree than plywood. Resins have improved drastically as well. Plywood is heavier. Plywood will also delaminate if water is exposed to the edge without proper flashing. Plywood costs much more. OSB shouldn’t be classified as “bad” and plywood as “good”. Both are engineered wood products. Both are made partly with organic materials.

I unplugged everything in my apartment for a month turned all the lights off and turned the AC up to 80 degrees. The powerbill was still 200 fucking dollars man. I havent even been living there

我们把德国人想得太好了。对于这一点，中国人，尤其是我自己，真的需要深刻反思。 我从小就喜欢历史。小学四到六年级的时候，我就大量阅读了二战史，其中相当多的篇幅都与德国有关。我知道“沙漠之狐”隆美尔和他的第七装甲师，也知道曼施坦因、古德里安、邓尼茨。我还知道一些著名的德国军人，比如第一次世界大战中的“红男爵”，以及那个以特种作战闻名的德国党卫队军官奥托·斯科尔兹内。 从那时起，我所接触的历史书籍，就给我塑造了一个强大、纪律严明、战斗力惊人的德国形象。 我一直为隆美尔感到惋惜。在我当时读到的那些书中，蒙哥马利的胜利似乎有些胜之不武。他所拥有的兵力和后勤补给远远超过隆美尔，而隆美尔却能在北非战场上与英军周旋，甚至一度占据上风。在年少时的我看来，盟军最终战胜德国，很大程度上依靠的就是体量上的碾压。 抛开意识形态，希特勒的死亡在我当时的理解中，也颇有一种悲剧英雄式的壮烈感。 中国最后一个由汉人建立的王朝是明朝。崇祯皇帝是一个能力不足、难以挽救国家局势的皇帝，但他又因为最终的结局而备受惋惜，甚至受到某种程度的崇拜。中国人可以接受一个无能的人，尤其是一个倾尽全力却依然无力回天的悲剧人物。这样的人，更容易得到同情。 崇祯就是如此。在我看来，他虽然能力不足，但最终选择了死亡，以此证明自己。他的问题在于能力不够，而不是天生邪恶，或者从一开始就怀着错误的动机。 在我当时的理解中，希特勒也是一个类似的人物。希特勒用死亡结束了自己的一生。年少时的我，很容易将这种结局理解为一种悲剧性的、甚至带有英雄色彩的落幕。 后来，大约到了高中时期，我开始阅读更多有关中国抗日战争的历史，逐渐了解到德国顾问帮助中国抵抗日本侵略的故事。 例如，德国将领汉斯·冯·塞克特曾担任蒋介石的军事顾问，参与国民政府军队的整顿规划；他的继任者亚历山大·冯·法肯豪森，也对中国军队的训练和建设产生了重要影响。在德国顾问的帮助下，国民政府整训了包括第87师、第88师在内的一批精锐部队。这些部队在淞沪会战中投入战斗，表现出了相当顽强的战斗力。 还有拉贝先生。拉贝虽然是纳粹党员，却在南京大屠杀期间担任南京安全区国际委员会主席，参与保护了大量中国平民，使许多人免于遭受日军的屠杀。 这些历史经历进一步加深了我对德国的好感。在我的印象中，德国不仅拥有优秀的军事传统，而且曾经有人真诚地帮助过中国。 后来，德国工业产品也进一步强化了这种印象。德国汽车，尤其是大众，在中国市场非常畅销，曾经长期占据重要地位。在许多中国人的印象里，德国制造意味着严谨、精密、可靠，仿佛德国人做事就应该是一丝不苟、不容易出错的。 这一切共同构成了我对德国的滤镜。 可是，我在 X 上看到的德国人，又是怎么样的呢？ 你们大大破坏了我对你们的幻想。 我在 X 上看到的，是一群鹰派的德国人。他们让我想起中国的邻居日本。面对中国人对你们表达出来的善意，你们却表现得极具冒犯性。你们用一种假惺惺的语气，提出大量冒犯性的问题，而一群中国人却傻乎乎地在这些问题下面认真回答。 是谁给了你们勇气，让你们觉得自己有资格担任审判者？你们又能审判谁？ 德国人，尤其是 X 上面的德国人，谢谢你们，戳破了我对德国的这层滤镜。 我曾经看到过一种说法，认为希特勒原本想要与中国结盟，而不是日本。至于这种说法究竟有多少历史依据，需要另行考证。但现在看来，你们当初似乎确实应该选择日本作为盟友，因为在我看来，你们表现出了某种相似的民族性，那就是阴湿。 我不知道你们能不能理解“阴湿”这个词的概念。 这个词用来形容一个人的性格，指的是一种黏糊糊的、如同烂泥一样的恶心感。它不会直接对你造成伤害，但是，当它触碰到你的时候，你会觉得恶心、难受。你知道它未必能对你造成什么实质性的伤害，但它就是让你感到不舒服。 X 上那些德国人的提问，给我的感受就是如此。 你们挤出笑脸，然后故意提出大量冒犯性的问题，摆出一副虚伪的笑容，看着一群傻乎乎的中国人手忙脚乱地应付你们那些莫名其妙的问题。 中国人吃猫吗？中国人吃狗吗？ 没错，我们中国人就是吃猫吃狗。 我们不仅吃猫吃狗，我们还专门吃德国人的猫和狗。
