His wiki bio doesn't have enough details to know, but it's basically impossible to race without serious funding, regardless of talent level. Even in junior series where the champion gets a scholarship for the next rung on the ladder, it's often not enough for a full season.

#13: A friend of mine said when his wife was in labor there was a moment when the nurse left at about the time he went to put on a gown, and his wife decided she wasn't doing this anymore. They caught up to her waiting for the elevator holding her infusion stand.

#13 After more than 2 hours of active labor (the pushing part) I said I couldn't do it anymore. A nurse called for the emergency c-section cart and I said "hang on, let's not get crazy. I'll try again." I managed to get the 9+ lbs baby out with just muscle strength and it wasn't until I was typing this that I realized there may have never been a cart at all. Effective technique I guess.
UNHchabo
I've heard women are being pressured *into* getting c-sections, so that may not have been a bluff.

Not hay but I was on a TGV once that abruptly stopped just outside Aix-en-Provence. Conducteur explains why we've stopped, I'm translating for my wife and some other English speakers around us. We had hit a sheep, or rather, going ~185mph, we had vaporised a sheep on the line but had stopped to assess the damage (to the train)
criablelurst
The "I can't do this" response is an evolutionary response where a woman feels she must be safe, it happens to almost every woman (from what I have read.. and it did happen to my wife!)

This is pretty obscure. Is that thing possessed, or are they recording it for sound effects? Are they just 'attending it'? Is this a museum?
IGiveSauce
It's from the video game Control. Possessed is kind of right; It needs someone to directly observe it at all times or it does bad stuff. Just before this screenshot was taken, it killed the guy who was not watching it well enough. There's more context than that, but that's all I remember. RIP Phillip.
BobDoleKingOfBudapest
It's an altered item. The video game Control is basically SCP Foundation, but not. I don't recall what that fridge does, just that it's altered and it's there in this cell to protect it, and others from it.

#3 thats an invasion of privacy
OmNachoMama
It's can be a social engineering tactic. Imagine the "friend" is actually a stalker or harassing the girl. Or someone uses another's phone number to use their reward points or get info. "Tell me what email or physical address you have on file for me."

Nofoxlefttogive
Human ears are not both at the same height. This enables us to triangulate sound more quickly and accurately. Frame manufacturers don't accommodate for this, so most eyeglasses end up looking like this.
Smantha
Also, I think the angle of the shot messes somewhat with the appearance.
CaldariBob
Humans are rarely symmetrical.
Ultratoxic
Because one of your ears is higher up than the other. Unless you're a very rare exception. Mine are significantly different heights and I didn't even notice until I tried to "correct" my glasses and realized how weird having the arms the same height felt.
sesamestreetfighter
Probably because their face isn't symmetrical. Mine are like that, too.

The user is right-handed. Pulling it off means there's a tiny bit of stress on the joint when they're slid off, causing it to fatigue over months/years.
oldscrotumthewrinkledretainer
ok Sherlock. So how tall are they?
OnePostCloserToAHappierLIfe
Well, judging from the material of what appears to be a counter, the standard height of a counter, the lack of edge from the counter suggesting a more central area, and the angle of the shot, I would reasonably suspect the user is 6'1", give or take an inch or two.

Spotify is my top priority that I recommend people cancel. Not only do they pay artists pennies for thousands of streams, but we all tend to listen to music repeatedly, unlike movies where you might really enjoy one but only feel the need to watch it once (hence why we had rentals back in the day).
If you take the $12 each month you're putting into spotify and buy an album with it, soon you'll have a decent collection.
https://gflip.bandcamp.com/album/drummer
Zuegma197777
That's why I use archive. Org to find my albums. Using the "+" for searching helps.
Sinasohn
Also, if you go to thrift stores, you can find CDs for a couple bucks each so your $12/mo goes even further.
Gnakenheimer
I would agree with you if this wasn't a great platform for discovering great artists. I've discovered so many bands/artists that I went to go see live and bought merch from, which is their main income anyway. Never would have known about them without spotify
UNHchabo
I think spotify is scummy even on their Discovery Mode though. An artist can choose to give up 30% of their earnings for a song in order for it to be included in Discovery Mode, and in order to even be eligible for the program they need to have 25000 monthly listeners. So it may help you find up-and-coming acts, but nothing that's super obscure.
Bandcamp laid off much of their editorial staff in 2023 which I hate, but their articles can still help you find hidden gems.
strawberrycocoa
And how much of that album purchase is going to the artists, and not their agents or some exec?
UNHchabo
Bandcamp's share is 15%, unless you buy during Bandcamp Friday events, where they waive their cut.
The rest all depends on how independent the artist is. G Flip is signed with a local label in Australia, Silversun Pickups used to be with an indie label but now own their own label. Other artists make their music completely at home and aren't affiliated with anyone. So if you buy a $10 album from a home musician on Bandcamp Friday, their only loss will be credit fees, so they'll get like $9.80.
UNHchabo
Here's another recommendation, Silversun Pickups is a super fun band live, I went into the show only knowing this and a few other songs, and came away with them being one of my favorites. :)

I have somewhere between 3 and 4 THOUSAND CDs. Physical CDs. Storing them is a big issue.
Meanwhile, my kids are not interested in albums (except for Taylor Swift on vinyl). They just want to stream music.
So can you recommend an alternative music streaming service that actually pays artists?
UNHchabo
Ever since my CD wallet got stolen in college I've ripped all my CDs to Flac so I have an archival-quality digital copy. Now, since Bandcamp offers Flac downloads on anything you buy, I do that for lots of albums, which also means the artist doesn't have the overhead of needing to produce the physical copy. They also offer unlimited streaming on anything you buy.
For streaming revenue, this chart got shared by T-Pain a few years back.
Kiotetravels
It's so funny to me that napster is on there. What a bizarre world we live in
Sinasohn
Yeah, I rip everything (to MP3 though) but feel like if I get rid of the CDs, I've lost the legal right to have teh MP3s.
I'll check out some of those other services -- thanks!
TheN8
Do you have any idea how much it would cost to buy every song and album in my Spotify library?! I've got 16 years of broad, eclectic musical chaos in there. It would take literally several decades of physical purchases to even come close. That's not to mention that my favourite songs/albums on Spotify will have generated more revenue for the artists than a one-time royalty just through the sheer number of times I listen to them.
notmuchthoughtoreffort
If that number of streams from just you is at least double digit millions, sure.
TheN8
What absolute fucking nonsense.
UNHchabo
I'm not saying you need to buy everything immediately, but the simple fact is that unless they're popular, musicians can't make a living off of streaming. To even rise above the federal poverty income level requires 5 million streams. But to get the same income from album sales on bandcamp they'd only need about 2000.
Just try buying one album a month, and see if you can get all your other music from ad-supported sources like youtube.
UNHchabo
Starting last year, Spotify no longer gives revenue on any track with less than 1000 annual streams. So unless you listen to your favorite tracks at least 3 times per day every day, you can't guarantee they earn anything from your subscription. That money is instead pooled to the more popular artists.
https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/nov/22/spotify-announces-royalty-changes
TheN8
What a piss poor take. If I'm personally supporting an artist, I'm putting them on my fucking tax return.
UNHchabo
You are not personally obligated to give artists you like a living wage. But the truth is that if they don't already have enough popularity to hit 1000 streams per track per year, your spotify subscription is not generating any revenue from them, and even after crossing that threshold spotify's payout is lower than most other streaming services.
Also remember like Netflix, things can get taken away from you at a moment's notice. Something could drop off of your library today, would you notice?
BenderSaysNeat
#9 This is the most distracting thing about any TV show or movie to me. At least put water in there!
FaithAlone
You can tell the cup is empty because of the way they hold it, it’s too weightless, the way they move carrying it is not how anyone carrying a beverage let alone a hot one moves.
RefurbishedArcReactor
Or sand, or weight the cups. (You don't want spills of real liquid, if for no other reason than makeup and costume continuity between takes.)

Agreed, but on a similar note, I lose my shit when someone who obviously have NEVER smoked a cigarette has to pretend to smoke. I quit 15 years ago and was a 2 pack a day smoker. They do EVERYTHING wrong. Drives me nuts.

And when they take a 'sip' and do that fake swallow and lipsmacking.
TohmaytohTohmahtoh
Yeah ,i notice that too. The physics just aren't right, the way they hold or pass the cup. Or when take a swig tiliting it way back for an allegedly fullh cup of whatever. Empty cups can totally ruin the moment for bad shows, and are distracting enough to me to break the suspension of disbelief on not-so-bad shows.
TohmaytohTohmahtoh
Or when they set the paper cup down and it sounds empty. They didn't edit the sound for it, so it's an obvious 'clunk' of an empty paper cup with a lid...
RoscoeDeBoscoe
Same with purses, at least leave the paper filling in. And while on the subject of purses; stop making women cover their stomach's with them, looking at you Community, poor Shirley.

For me it's the phone numbers
Like. It's just poor writing. Just don't have the characters say the phone number out loud. We know what 555 means. Just write around it
Rhythmaster
I mean, we're basically finished with "can you tell me your phone number" in real life now, right? Nowadays I just hand my phone to them and get them to type it in.
bolobass
Just reserve one single phone number for entertainment uses. Any phone number ever can just be 555-1234.
iTakeQuotesOutOfContext
Why? How could it possibly be less weird to cut away from every conversation that has a phone number? Most of what we are talking about is cop shows, would it be less weird to just cut past the number outright when people are passing information back and forth? I ask people for a phone number probably 10 times a week, these are normal conversations that should not need to be written around. Check your disbelief at the door, my friend.
zafner
A good writer could do it, and it wouldn't be a problem
I don't know why you think cop shows is where this always happens. Although I don't watch cop shows so I don't know how common it is there. I mostly associate it with light drama, romcoms, stuff like that
