Reply to comment by [deleted] in Kinnesaw State Owls men's basketball coach sarcastically applauding the refs today by Digita-Pntics
I'm guessing it's the much more comprehensive coverage of games that allows us to see it better, not an actual increase in it happening. I guarantee that people getting pissed at the refs has existed nearly equally for as long as refs have been present in human history

It's like he hit 60-something and just stopped aging

The trick is to disrupt its orbit with something that has nearly as much mass, so far scientists have been unable to figure out how to get OPs mom into space though

They really did a number on the letter "e" at some point, did it piss off someone important?
Alright that's enough e, I will make it my life's work to ensure you're time at the end of words is finished

The wreck was re-discovered almost 40 years ago, in case anyone who remembers it happening isn't feeling old enough today

Of course there's still the one real question that everyone wants to know: Is it in fact a king-sized bed, or have we just been lied to by mattress companies for years?

Reply to comment by trimeta in Perseverance Mars rover drops 10th sample, completing depot by IslandChillin
To add on to the other comment, these deposits are made in very carefully selected locations that would be used as a backup in case the main samples are unable to successfully be returned to earth. They'll get a little dusty, but with the way it works on Mars they will be able to sit perfectly sealed for many years before they'll be covered with enough dust to be hard to locate

Actual love too, testing these systems live directly against the Russians has made every single weapon donation worth far more than their cash value. That is data that has really only been updated through mostly guessing since Vietnam

Reply to comment by oldmangrow in What specifically about ginger/menthol/wasabi causes one's sinuses to open? by Bartendiesthrowaway
It's not that difficult to get grated wasabi root where I am, and I'm in the the US about as far from any oceans as possible. It's true that pretty much everything you'll find in restaurants or in those little packets is just horseradish and mustard seed, but this is the one I usually get, it's sold in quite a few stores nearby

Reply to comment by Fat_IRL in NFL headcoach takes shoulder from player running on the field by RJthere
It's funny because you can see his head coach instinct come out for a split second right as the flag come out. You can see in his eyes he wanted to just automatically start arguing against it like most other flags, until he realized he was way onto the field and was fully responsible for the penalty
