  • I do not have a water flosser, and asked this exact question to my dentist about two weeks ago.

    Turns out, I could've asked you! As your answer was EXACTLY what they told me.

  • Does cyber-bullying work ?
  • Like everything in this world, I think it's situation dependent.

    I traveled for work, and would live out of a hotel room for 4-5 weeks at a time. I have a gaming laptop that doesn't fit in the bin while going through TSA. Always got comments about it. But damn, if I didn't love setting it up in my hotel room and leaving it there during my tour and being able to play some games during my evenings.

    It was WELL worth it!

  • Meet Birdie, our new rescue!
  • This cat is a purring machine! She was only available for adoption at the shelter for one day. The staff knew she'd be picked quickly.

    But yes, winning at life. I read somewhere you should record their purr so you've always got it.

    It’s all a scam, don’t even try to tell me it’s useful
  • Nothing more than it’s widely accepted

    Well, what's wrong with Bitcoiners trying to make their currency widely accepted too?

    that it’s backed by yet another widely accepted from of currency

    So it's turtles all the way down, is what you're saying?

    (usually; gold)

    Not the USD, which is the worlds most widely accepted currency.

    This is all gross-oversimplification, I realize, and I don’t particularly want to get into the weeds on this topic, because it’s only of passing interest to me.

    Yes, I agree that this is gross-oversimplification. But if you don't want to get into the weeds, why make a claim about something you don't understand and don't have interest in?

  • What are some harmless ways to prank someone?
  • On the computer thread, changing the keys on their keyboard is also fun. Works better if they are a touch typist as well, as they may go several hours/days before noticing, until they have to look for that one special key. :)

  • black hole goes brrrr
  • In all seriousness, there is a radio lab episode out there talking about tiny black holes. Apparently, they might be all over the universe, and can sometimes hit earth, create a massive crater that has no meteorite debris, exit the other side of earth, and could be an explanation for all the dark matter around the universe!

    It was a really fascinating episode, and I highly recommend giving it a listen!

  • How far would someone have to travel to be considered “Well traveled”?
  • This is a very objective question, but I'm going to say you must travel to 4 countries, 2 of which must be across an ocean, and 2 have to be to countries that speak different languages than your native language. Feel free to mix and match.

  • Sound in space
  • I don't have a great answer for you why, but heat must be radiated away from space ships faster than you might think. They have heaters on them to keep them warm. Think Apollo 13 when they turn off all their power, and it gets cold.

    The ISS is traveling through a decent amount of atmosphere still, hence they need to boost their orbit occasionally. That atmosphere is probably plenty to dissipate WAY more heat than sound creates.

    That doesn't explain deep space ships... But they do clearly radiate heat, if not slowly. But probably faster than what little heat sound creates. (Also think of the cooling phase that James Webb space telescope went through)

  • What subscription finally gave you "subscription fatigue"?
  • I feel like I have to beg my friends to use my Plex server. Like what the hell? I'm offering you ~1000 movies free, and all you have to do is register for a Plex account, but for some reason registering for Plex is way too hard and confusing (even though it's the same process as any other service).

    Whatever, guess I'll enjoy my movies myself then. 🤷

  • How do you remove (on plex) suggestions, like "binge worthy shows"

    I'm starting to create managed user accounts for my two daughters on plex. They are 7 and 4, so movies I'm giving them access to consist mostly of Pixar/Disney type stuff. Well, when I log into their users, it has recently added movies and TV shows, which show appropriatle the things I've given access to from my server. But below those it has "Binge Worthy Shows" "Plex Picks" "Summer Lovin'" and a few others which are all hosted "(on plex)" It even is advertising "The Marksman" right now, which is a guy holding a shotgun on the cover.

    Is there a way to turn off those (on plex) suggestions so it ONLY shows the movies that exist on my server? Ideally I could just turn off those suggestions on a user basis as well.

    Thanks for any help you can provide!
