R is a consonant (indicating "a") but also if you say the word R it starts with a vowel (indicating "an") both look wrong :(
Fucked up my knee really bad yesterday, while doing a required task at school. Have been bedridden since noon yesterday, was planning on getting a doctor's note today because both my work and my school are extremely physically demanding and if my knee doesn't work, I am down for the count. But I can't even fucking walk now and I don't have anyone to take me to the doctor. What do I do?
It doesn't seem to have any correlation with the concentration of the urine, as even really dark stuff is usually froth-free.
I’m just thinking if the energy use that data centres and streaming platforms require, and the climate crisis. Would one be significantly better than the other in terms of energy use?
The obvious is Endgame when Iron Man had the stones. The next is The Last Dragon, when Leeroy had the Golden Glow. I feel like it's a trope of the 1980s on, but I can't remember additional examples. And I definitely don't remember the earlier examples. What shows had that oh so satisfying "oh really? Do you now?" Twist at the end of the story.
shouldnt reailt pet foods be tailored to those species tastes? or is it just *gettin some strange*?
I've just realized that a horse foot is just one big finger. So the inevitable question is: Is it the middle finger? [\#NoStupidQuestions](https://kbin.social/tag/NoStupidQuestions)
this is not actually something I'm planning on doing, I'm just curious. my first thought is water, but then I considered, wouldn't salt water be better, with its enhanced conductivity? and that got me wondering, what else might work better still? extra points if it does so without making it obvious what's at fault, or if it could plausibly happen by accident (or spontaneously)
I know they came out the same day but it’s hard to see a reference to one without the other.
can our brains actually learn to comprehend, to envision dimensions beyond the perceptible three? how could you describe higher dimensional shapes in a way that would allow someone to visualise them?
I've not had much luck with this, so... here goes nothing! I love supporting independent creators, but using Etsy leaves a bad taste in my mouth. They're full of drop-shippers, they ruin makers by closing accounts without warning... you know, all of those nasty things. Are there other options out there aside from hunting for makers' personal sites? Any help would be appreciated, as I've not had much luck finding an alternative
Wanting to relocate some wild frogs/toads, they seem to like a certain flower bed because the "night light" on the house brings the bugs. My thought is if I make another area enticing, they will go there.
I see this technique everywhere, but I guess I haven't found the right terms to search for what it's called or why it's so ubiquitous in certain types of video. If you follow people who produce video essay-type content that features them speaking directly to the camera, they will often cut in and out from "closer" views of themselves to add visual emphasis to lines. Some keep it subtle enough that you might not even notice it, while others pepper it all over the place to the point that it looks like they're bouncing off the camera when you slide through the preview. Is this a commonly taught/known technique, or is there just some template for it built into popular video editing packages? For anyone else who didn't notice it before and can't un-see it now, I'm sorry.
I do know what a tankie is, and why one would be against them, but I have never encountered so many people using the word. It's all over the place here. Why?
Occasionally, I will see a video posted of an instructor throwing a baby into water and watching them flounder about until they right themselves and float. The comments are a mix of "that's terrible, what is the instructor doing?" and "you guys are clueless, this is how they train the babies." My question is, while tossing babies in the water after training may be the standard, and might save their life one day, isn't there a risk that they will inhale water when being randomly dunked under water and panicking? I know humans innately stop inhaling when in water until we can't hold our breath anymore, including babies to an extent, but I don't know if babies are as capable of this as a grown human. Especially when they do NOT expect being dunked under. I've seen adults and kids not expect that, and they end up coughing out tons of water. If water gets in the lungs, can't it kill you? Cause a lung infection? "Dry drowning"? I never see this talked about in relation to the baby swim training.
I have never understood the concept of Twitter and such, is it basically like Live Journal with a text limit ? How do the interactions even work ? Just people saying something unprompted and then people just talk?
I'm not talking about objective things like grammar, vocabulary, or structuring. I'm mostly talking about more subjective things like theme and mood. I get for younger students, since they need to learn to analyze and interpret literature. But for higher level students this might become more or a problem, especially when reading old poems and scripts. Why do schools make it seem like there's only 1 right way to view a story?
When you look at a cartoon illustration of a sandwich, you will usually an olive or other similar topping on top of the sandwich. Have you actually put olives on top of your sandwiches? If so, why?
So you know when it's quiet and your neighbor is playing loud music, but you can only hear the bass? Why is it like that?
This magazine is not the place to ask question about kbin. Use [/m/kbinmeta](https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta) instead.
I just don't understand the logic. Why wouldn't you always choose the pants with pockets? By the way, this is my first post to this website. I apologize if I made any mistakes.
