I miss the AIM era.
If you were using the internet as a teenager or older in the 2000’s you likely used AIM aka AOL instant messenger. First couple years I used it I had the actual AOL dial up internet so my time was limited as I couldn’t keep the phone line busy all day but once we got DSL or whatever the next gen of internet was it was amazing. I’d be signed on AIM pretty much indefinitely and if I wasn’t at the computer I’d set up a dope away message, well I thought so at least in retrospect they were probly super cringe lol. I’d rush home from school and check to see who was online or available to message. Hours and hours spent online chatting with friends about mostly nothing but god it was fun. This was peak internet times and we didn’t even know it. I actually just got done watching a YouTube video of all the sounds you’d hear using AIM and man talk about nostalgia. I had like 50 core memories retrieved from the depths of my mind and made me so happy to relive it just for a moment.
Do you guys remember those times and how amazing things were? I can’t tell you how much I wish to sign on just once more.. just once.
More than 6 months and haven’t bit my nails once.
I suffer from mental illness and one of the bad habits I picked up was biting my nails incessantly to the point they’d bleed and my fingertips would throb in pain for a day or two and I’d dunk them in ice water. Many times I’d spray some antiseptic spray on them as to reduce the chance for infection. I’d catch myself biting and then forcefully stop only to be back at it within minutes. I bit them in the car most and it was a regular thing for me to have a floor full of chewed off nails almost like gravel on a driveway.
I’m so happy to say that this year has been great for me and while I’m not cured, I am so much better and no longer bite my nails. They get so long I get a bunch of dirt and stuff stuck under them and have to use that scraper thing on the nail clippers lol. I’m no nail tech or cosmetologist as my nails certainly aren’t pretty but to me they’re beautiful. I no longer have to shield my fingers from people out of embarrassment.
I hope this little story can inspire someone reading to better yourself however you can and no matter how small.
[Request] How fast, roughly, was A Train going to be faster than Homelander’s eye laser?
https://youtube.com/shorts/fXWr5dXrGas?si=0fy10\_TuealdGqcu
Hopefully that link works or hopefully you’ve seen the video but A Train pulls up and it seems time had stopped except for the lasers moving but slowly. Well first of all I assume all lasers travel the speed of light right? This is a show obviously but I never heard of a laser going slower than the speed of light unless it’s traveling through a dense medium such as some heavy gas or liquid then it goes what like 99.99999 percent? Lol. Homelander was maybe a few feet away from his target and by the time A Train pulled up it was about half way. Looking at the video you’d have to surmise that A Train was traveling FTL speeds to out speed it.
Are there anybody here that can look at the video or some video if the link doesn’t work and guestimate just how fast A Train was moving? Also side question wouldn’t someone going that fast not only create massive air blasts from displacing the air but also constantly be making ultra sonic booms from bypassing the sound barrier and would make everyone’s head explode? Again I know it’s a show but I’m sure there’s normal life science to write out.
Water got stuck inside my 08 Tahoe.
When I backed up I heard sloshing liquid noises and dismissed it at first. After hearing it more I went to investigate and found my rear doors had water trapped inside and a decent amount. I did a little research and said to check the drain holes on the bottom but there’s some sort of weather protection flap so I pulled it back a little and slid my finger across it and the water started coming out thankfully. Is it just a matter of debris and pollen causing a clog? Recently had a lot of rain but I’ve never experienced this sort of thing before during other rain storms. Granted my cars parked under a helicopter tree and pollen rains down every day so I assume that’s the reason. I can’t find the actual drain holes on the doors tho so I can’t unclog them with a wire or some tool so my concern is this will happen again and I dont know if this will cause any permanent damage to electric mechanisms.
Has anybody had this happen or know how to deal with this to prevent it from happening?
Why is there water inside my door?
I have a 08 Chevy Tahoe and for some reason there’s water swishing around in my rear passenger door. There was just a decent amount of rain in my area recently and I’m assuming somehow the rain water got inside there, can’t imagine how else it would. But I’ve obviously had rain on my car before so I’m quite perplexed and honestly pissed off cuz I can’t imagine it’s a good thing to have in there. I knew there was water cuz when I back out or turn wide I hear the sound of it moving around. I did a little investigation and when I swing open and close my door I hear it in there clear as day.
EDIT: it was both rear doors. I did a little feeling around and pulled a bit on the bottom seal flap thing and it started coming out and is draining. But I’m fearful this will happen again.
Does anybody have any idea why this would happen now? And if there’s a way I can drain it or get it out myself?
[Request] If Star Wars light sabers existed as how they did in the movies would they burn/kill the user from the heat emanating off it?
I’m not sure if there’s any concrete definitive temperature light sabers have but I found this:
Several thousand °C at minimum, and possibly 20,000–25,000°C if you base it on how fast lightsabers melt/cut through metal doors. Some fan-science estimates put them around 4,500°F to 36,000°F.
So assuming one of those are correct how would the user fare using a light saber? I’d imagine the heat would at MINIMUM burn if not incinerate the one using its hand. I mean that’s some crazy heat there, they’ve been shown to nearly instantly cut through steel doors and cut metal droids in half with practically zero effort. And if one was used inside a room with flammable objects would a saber cause a flash over? I think that’s what it’s called, when there’s such strong heat that things in this vicinity instantly ignite even without direct contact with the flame.
Can you make playlist on YouTube?
I have premium and something I wonder about is whether I can create playlist and add videos to it to later pull up and play them?
Man this shrine sucked.
I think it’s called Keo Ruug and that shrine made me feel so dumb. I’m in my thirties and have played all the Fromsoft games and other souls likes and beaten them multiple times and here I was doing a kids game essentially and couldn’t figure this out for the life of me lol. Went right to YouTube. I don’t like doing that but after seeing how you get the answer to the riddle I’d have never gotten it anyways. I was staring at the constellations behind the orb drop offs in the first room thinking the big stars meant something. Nope lol.
Did you guys struggle with this shrine?
Who’s an actor you enjoy watching and wished they had more movies. Mine is Robin Shou from Mortal Kombat (90’s)
I’m sure you all have an actor in mind you really enjoyed watching them in movies or shows but for one reason or another they didn’t appear in many movies or shows. As i said i wish Robin Shou did more movies cuz i think hes a cool dude. The MK movies from the 90’s get a lot of crap but i enjoyed his character as Liu Kang. He was also in Beverly Hills Ninja along side Chris Farley and that was fun too. On his Wiki it says he did a few other things but no substantial acting career, unsure why. I wish he would have had an action star career like Jackie Chan or something.
One of my all time favorite movie scenes is the end of the first MK movie after he defeated Shang Sung and Orbital from Halycon starts playing as he looks down to his friends having one the tournament. It’s just a super happy scene.
So do you have anybody in mind who in your opinion had a short lived career but made a lasting impression?
FINALLY won 450 on 5 spot keno.
I’ve been chasing this for years now and today was the day. First game out 5 too.
It’s constantly raining here in Akkala and puts my torch out. Is this intended or just bad luck?
I’m trying to light my torch with the blue flame and make it back to the research center but jeez Louise it’s raining ALL THE TIME. Or rather it’ll rain and then I’ll wait it out some way and then it picks back up. Is this some puzzle I need to figure out or do I just get bad luck? I don’t recall it raining this often besides the Zora domain from the elephant. Like I can’t bring the fire over there if between lighting and delivering it’s gonna rain.
My hair is quite long for a guy, probly anywhere from 8-10 inches and I use pomade to keep it from flying all over the place which is what happens when it’s completely dry, a little fuzz ball if you will especially with rain and wind.. it becomes a nightmare lol. I’ve had some bad gos with a lot of pomade’s with most of them turning my hair into a rock which I don’t want. I want a product that lets me style my hair when working it through and then have it stay that way which is what pomade is supposed to do I’m sure lol. It seems like with me atleast the first day or two after I do up my hair it’s like it’s gelled and doesn’t budge an inch and then there’s a couple days after when it seems like some of the product evaporates or something and then it’s how I want it and then another day or two after that it becomes a mess. I hope all that makes sense.
So basically I want a good pomeade that keeps my hair in the style I want it with it not being rock hard and then vanish completely. Please help a bro out here.
What is this and how do I complete this?
Im not even sure what this is called but clearly some sort of puzzle and I assume I need to put a ball inside it but I can’t find it. This is outside Kakariko village near the goddess fairy thing that upgrades your armor. Can I get some help here please?
