Kanye West is in hospital because of a psychiatric emergency, maybe that deserves its own thread.

Most software is literal garbage, the equivalent of cars thrown together by taking random car parts strewn around from accidents then hiding it all under a rusty BMW body spraypainted white with duct tape and paper patching up the rust holes, so it looks okay to the consumer

same for books about software or tutorial books in general. 90% are total garbage but you only realize once you know the subject they are about. I try to check them for bad wording and layout to know beforehand but you can never be sure. If you don't get a subject at all chances are high its just a very bad book. 

i have no idea if this is classified or not but I was told that the ROK army actually has equipment for paratroopers to cut through tree limbs and brush, enabling them to parachute into forested areas most would consider too dangerous to airdrop into. they are literally tree cutting suits they put on and leave after they managed to get on to the ground

 

is there a picture?

There are no studies regarding the long-term effectiveness of Eustachian tube balloon dilations, yet we additionally perform them with most middle ear surgeries we do. I kind of suspect it to be another scam surgery, just like laparoscopic excision of endometriosis, which is a gynaecological procedure that can be performed on a vague basis of very general symptoms – like menstrual pain.

Now, ask a sensitive 14-year old if she has strong menstrual pain, let her affirm it, and bam, you got endometriosis and we need to treat you. A minimally invasive procedure with a very small expenditure, performable on a lot of women, with reliable profits. Of course we are milking that cow.

I can't find any, I tried looking thinking it might be publicly known now but no luck. This would of been in the mid-90s.

 

- Here's a IDM oriented fact. Chris Cunningham grew up in the same place I was born (and lived again briefly as a teen): Lakenheath. I can't find the in the interview but he mentions the setting in rural Suffolk near a mysterious RAF jet base where his dad worked shaping his nascent career. 

 

- Speaking of... the F-111 squadrons of RAF Lakenheath, infamously known for participating in the bombing raid that almost killed Gaddafi in 1986, were assigned in the event of nuclear war to fly low and fast into Moscow to drop nuclear bombs there. This was a contingency if intercontinental missiles in the US were destroyed before they could launch. Interestingly those models of the jet, the F-111F, were tactical, not nuclear, oriented planes. In other words in public they were a regular attack squadron and assigned to a tactical air wing, not a strategic one. I know this from dad who was a jet mechanic when he was an airman at the base back in the 80s. I have no idea if it's a open secret and/or something that is declassified but not well published.

 

- Also FYI are tactical nuclear bombs located in Belgium, Holland, Germany, Italy and Turkey owned and operated by the USAF. There used to be some in the UK until 2008.

Oh man, I love Cold War secrets. There was so much shady stuff going on, like Operation Gladio. There's a rumor of a secret tunnel complex here in the area I live in (which is bordering France) that supposedly connects a German town and the Alsatian countryside, which makes sense as said German town is a juridical hot spot. Could very well be bullshit though, as I never found anything about this on the web.

In New Zealand there is a species of flightless Fly (Mystacinobia zelandica) which lives only on the bodies of a single native bat species. It feeds on its host's feces and has formed a proto-caste system in which females tend to and rear all the larvae and males defend the colonies by emitting a shrill frequency, all of this happening on and around the roosting bats.

 

what makes them a fly if they cant...fly?

 

Good question! Other than lacking a pair of wings Mystacinobia shares key physiological features with other insects in the order Diptera so it is a 'flightless fly', yes.

 

Speaking of Flightless flies, did you know that the largest completely terrestrial animal in Antarctica (meaning one that spends all its time on land) is another flightless fly: Belgica antarctica, the flightless midge! Wings were slowly done away with as the harsh freezing wings of Antarctica would carry the winged insects asunder. 

 

 

This insect (Antarctica's only insect btw) can survive freezing temperatures with a sort of protein-based antifreeze and its dark purple body can absorb what little heat is available from the scant sunlight.

 

 

Very interesting stuff, thank you for sharing.

Someone FUCKING DIED where I work last night

 

Years ago a friend of mine went into a Dunkin Donuts and the woman at the register seemed really uncomfortable.  MY friend asked her if everything was OK and it turned out less than an hour earlier another cashier had died of a massive heart attack at the register and they made the rest of the people finish their shifts like nothing had happened.

SSRI's work on lobsters

And for the exact reason they work on humans: we both share a serotonin-based 'status meter' that keeps track of our position in the social hierarchy

 

...so when a lobster loses a dominance dispute with another lobster, it curls up and goes into a dark corner and sulks...give it an SSRI and it (literally) gains its confidence back and un-curls and becomes social and explorative again

Cats are cool.

 

Edit - Also, there is only one company that can produce white vinyl records, so every white vinyl record you get comes from the same producer. It also takes quite a while to get, for obvious reasons.

This was a death in custody. Apparently the guy's geriatric cellmate woke up and saw him hanging, pressed the emergency call bell, then went back to bed :^)

Yeah my Uncle used to be a tube driver and someone committed suicide in front if his train, he saw his head come off. He had counselling after. He's a cab driver now.

The Way of the Samurai is found in death. Meditation on inevitable death should be performed daily. Every day when one's body and mind are at peace, one should meditate upon being ripped apart by arrows, rifles, spears and swords, being carried away by surging waves, being thrown into the midst of a great fire, being struck by lightning, being shaken to death by a great earthquake, falling from thousand-foot cliffs, dying of disease or committing seppuku at the death of one's master. And every day without fail one should consider himself as dead. This is the substance of the way of the samurai.
