Which Side Is The Gas Cap On?

yellowc says...

I've never seen a car in my life that hides the door to invisibility? Could she not have just spent a few moments looking for a fairly clear outlined cut-out.

I feel like she knew where it was but was getting disorientated with how the car was positioned, as she kept altering her frame of reference. I'd like to believe this more than not being able to see the door.

Sleepy Driver Causes Three-Vehicle Crash in Pennsylvania

yellowc says...

He also forgot how to use the horn or headlights?

If you had alerted that lady she was driving that badly, she may very well have thought "Oh shit, I must be bad, better pull over".

I think many people have experienced feeling sleepy at the wheel and often you lose your judgement skills due to this tiredness, you really need some outside intervention to alert you and just filming it is really not the right thing to do.

Six Hours of Simulated Airplane Travel

yellowc says...

I thought it was just going to be dummies sitting there to test turbulence or something and they just happen to have made them look creepy.

But this is 6hrs of those dummies actually talking and doing things. Even creepier

Why you should get a flu shot

yellowc says...

You're right about one thing, I definitely did close my mind more to those idiots.

I like how they brush "anecdotal evidence" off as some cop out answer but then in their bio they claim they're promoters of "good science".

I suppose what the random mum attributes the death of her child must be taken as credible. The rest is irrelevant because the stupid in the first few paragraphs invalidates me taking seriously the rest of the content.

How A Hurdy Gurdy Works

I really don't mind the sound of the notes, quite nice but my god that buzzing string is just amazingly frustrating. I may have felt differently before the South African World Cup but now when I hear a buzz like that, I just want to die.

Your Brain On Coffee

yellowc says...

Don't forget if you're drinking it frequently every day, the effect of alertness is diminishing and while you may have caffeine in your body hanging around at bed time. The "alertness" effect shouldn't really be that strong.

I can drink a cup within 3hrs of sleep and be ok for bed, so for me, the drop off effect is pretty quick. Of course the effect for you may be quite extended

If you're having trouble sleeping, you should try "winding down" exercises to see if it's really coffee or if you just keep yourself over simulated. The basics of it is *zero* screens 45mins before bed, no phones, no tv, no tablets etc, throw in a slow breathing exercise (a good start is 6-7 breaths per minute, work your way down to 4-5) for 10-15minutes, nose only.

So caffeine still has an affect on your sleep way after you have put it into your system. Twelve hours later its still has a 25% presence/affect as it had when you drank it. So coffee in the morning can still make it potentially more difficult to sleep at night. I'd always heard it shouldn't affect your sleep if you had consumed it longer then six hours ago. So i guess the multiple cups before noon may potentially be part of my difficulty sleeping at night.

Ridiculously Overpacked Battery Charger

yellowc says...

My favourite was one largely unbreakable tiny item in a big box filled with soft foam thingies. I even had those plastic straps around the box to keep it all tight and secure? The item cost me $7 and postage was free.

Things you're doing wrong every day: everything

yellowc says...

The TED talk was about reducing paper towel waste in *public* bathrooms. Simply encouraging you to fold one piece instead of pulling 4. Also it works, after that talk I did start folding a single piece and it's working out just fine.

I understand it was to prep the joke but stretched the truth a little far there.

A New Twist on Fast Food ADS vs. REALITY

yellowc says...

It's clear you have never tried this form of employment?

I was a checkout person once, at the start I wanted to top the fastest average scan list they released every week, I took pride in knowing all the veggie/fruit codes for quick weighing, I pre-scanned the belt to see how I was going to pack the bags and what room I would have to put things aside etc

That lasted a little while, until my soul was drained from my body, my back started to ache quicker and quicker, my feet got blisters and one inconsiderate asshole customer after another made my day a little shittier with their stupid inane behaviour. Do you know how your fucking eggs got delivered to the store? They're going to be fine.

Well then I realised why the women working full-time was slow, didn't give a flying fuck about where she packed things and couldn't be damned learning the code for bananas. It simply didn't matter in the slightest, you're all coming back for your shitty groceries week after week, I'm getting paid all the same and my shitty day isn't going to go faster being happy than it is being miserable.

That effect only lasts 1-2 hours, no matter your attitude, packing shit for 8hrs is going to get stale. Packing shit for 8hrs a few times a week or every day, well you're constantly thinking "Would I get fired if I punched this guy? Maybe, I think I can make a solid case."

I could craft you a nice burger all the time or I can just slap together some shit your gonna shove down your greasy gob anyway. How much do I get paid again? Oh yeah, fuck all.

Most of the time, they are just too lazy to do the job right the first time!!!!!

Bumblebee stings spider to rescue other bumblebee?

yellowc says...

Replayed it a bunch of time with freeze frames, jumping on the back leg theory. Doesn't look like it was the stinger.

Also the spider didn't seem very bothered by having a sizeable stinger penetrate it, I would have it expected it to immediately drop off or be severely erratic.

Neil deGrasse Tyson Fact Checks 'Gravity'

yellowc says...

I think that last tweet sums up why Gravity is the way it is. It's entertaining and most people turn up their suspension of disbelief to maximum overdrive when going to the movies.

Accurate movies are SNOOZE movies.
