Planes have multiple panes in each window. Only the outside pane was missing. There wasn't a giant hole in the side of the plane. Give some credit to passengers at least, they would have noticed a literal hole in the plane when they sat down.

Silly.

I'm in agreement on this one. Fun image but doesn't belong here.

Part of the reason people freak out is when somebody throws random stats out there:

GOLF COURSES USE 1 MILLION GALLONS OF WATER EVERY DAY. OMG!!!

What is neglected is the fact that in the USA just over 400 Billion gallons of water are used each day across all uses. Golf courses use a very tiny percentage in comparison. 0.0000025 id I did my math right.

Oh hell yeah. I came into the comments specifically to find this one.

I'm not sure I have a favorite composer because it really depends on what mood I'm in.

That being said, Requiem Lacrimosa by Mozart is the greatest piece of music in history.

Curious, I've seen it all over lemmy. I've got a couple different accounts for... reasons, and on one I tried to make the point that for some demographics, like my parents/grandparents, Windows is the best OS. I was immediately berated for MANY reasons including, being a failure for not educating my family, not caring about my family's safety, personally signing them up for the FasTrack to identity theft and scammers, and that Linux is ACTuaLLY simpler and easier to use.

This is pretty tame compared to the piracy guys as well.

I've got an Axolotl. Not sure where that falls on the spectrum of exotic pets.

They are pretty easy to get ahold of and apart from a chiller to keep the water at an appropriately cool temperature they are easy to take care of. That being said, every person that has come over to our place reacts with something along the lines of "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT THING!".

All I really need to do for it is top off the water every day or two and once a month or so replace 20% of the water with fresh water. It's not even that critical to do that much water maintenance I just like to go for as clear water as possible.

Feeding is easy as well. Optimal feeding is once every 2-3 days but they can survive MUCH longer without food. Studies have shown up to 3 weeks is doable. This means if we are going to go on vacation for a week or a bit longer I just feed him once before we leave and then don't worry about it.

Dune gave me an erection for the rest of the day because of the sound.

I sold my 1985 Mercedes 500 SEL AMG and bought a 2007 Toyota Yaris Hatchback.

I ditched UBP for a Spigen case. It's the only case I've found that has a low profile built in lens cover/shutter.

In a similar vein, Tweezerman tweezers. There is absolutely none better than those. Razor fine edge that I'm convinced could pluck an electron off an atom.

Oh. I feel I might be in contention for a world title in this game.

I had just sold a car and was flush with cash so before going to buy my new one I bought every single pillow I could find in every home goods store near me and several from online. I then spent the next month studiously comparing pillows to find the right one for me.

The final two came down to a $15 pillow and a $190 pillow.

After deciding all the other pillows got returned and then went and got my new car.

In things as subjective as a pillow high quality is rather Nebulous.

For something like a woodworking tool high quality often matters far more.

The worst life pro tip I've ever received? Listen to the experts, they have made it their job to know the best things and you can't go wrong with what they say.

Finally someone speaks the truth. Top 6 and top 12 is where it's at right now.

Most of the ones that I see here are angry faces. I tried to find one that fell solidly into the sinister category instead.

Or 85 posts a day by 3 different bots with one and only one commenter.

Oooo man, you almost ALMOST have tempted me back to reddit with that one. I somehow missed that subreddit and I feel a bit sadder for that.

Man, I miss r/cronch

And the second that it is economically viable the companies will be dumping their bricklayers/carpenters down the drain and replacing them with computer controlled construction methods.
