Yet another refugee who washed up on the shore after the great Reddit disaster of 2023

  • Any truly free options for converting Outlook PST files to MBOX (or something else) without Outlook?

    Jump

  • Thunderbird looks like a viable client. I installed it tonight and poked around a bit - seems fairly feature rich. If you have outlook, there are a number of options. One of the easiest is to just point Thunderbird at the same address as your Outlook points to, and move your PST contents into Outlook proper. But I don't have outlook, and don't want to buy it just for this.

  • It never happened–but the picture says it did: 28 fake images that fooled world

  • The first is, but they aren't in chronological order. Three of them are from the 1800s (earliest is 1840).

  • I'm not at all arachnophobic - I'll often pick spiders up with my hand to put them outside - but I don't think I could let this one crawl on me without crying.

  • Oh boy, surely a cheerful and not at all terrifying tale!

  • Reminds me of something from the opposite end of the lifespan. When I was young, they didn't clear the theater after a movie, and they sometimes had "double features" where they'd alternate between two movies and you could watch both for one ticket price. My dad's aunt lived with us (she was probably in her 70s at this point), and one day a couple of her friends picked her up to go watch "a double features of animal movies" at the local theater. They dropped her off some hours later and her face was grey - she said it was horrible, and didn't want to talk about it.

    It turned out the double features was Day of the Animals and Night of the Grizzly, basically both horror movies. They didn't think they were allowed to leave during the movie, so they stayed through both.

  • What's in that bright red fire retardant? No one will say, so we had it tested

    Jump

  • If you scroll lower down, there's a table with the amounts from the different samples from different fires.

    I think it's telling that the amounts in the Palisades fire are by far the highest. That fire had a huge number of structures burned, so the samples of suppressant scraped off of leaves and things is going to be mixed with smoke and ash particles from those burning structures. It doesn't make sense that the amount of heavy metals would vary wildly from one batch of suppressant to another, but it makes perfect sense that the amount in a field sample would vary depending on what's burning in the area.

  • Trump says things are 'going very well' after worst stock market drop in years over tariffs

  • Silly me for retiring in January

  • Elon Musk Brags About How Much He Controls Trump

  • Call BS? What he said is literally, explicitly true: If you click on the article, that's the title of it. OP didn't change the title to fit an agenda, he used the article's title.

  • Cat litterbox question + cat tax

    Jump

  • We've had a lot of cats, some of which have wanted to scratch more than the litter. The simplest solution is to get a litterbox that has a cover. Some of those have doors, too, and you might have to remove that because some cats won't use them. A side benefit of the cover is that you won't get much litter flung out of the box.

  • Chekov's Gum

    Jump

  • I'm case you're wondering:

    Chekhov's gun (or Chekhov's rifle; Russian: Чеховское ружьё) is a narrative principle that states that every element in a story must be necessary and irrelevant elements should be removed. For example, if a writer features a gun in a story, there must be a reason for it, such as it being fired some time later in the plot. All elements must eventually come into play at some point in the story. Some authors, such as Hemingway, do not agree with this principle.

  • I knew what that was going to be before I clicked it. Good job.

  • Multiple Tesla vehicles were set on fire in Las Vegas and Kansas City

    Jump

  • Not sure why some people are disagreeing - it for sure fits the definition. I'm not exactly sad about it - Musk is helping to rip apart the country and I have a hard time blaming people who feel that helping to rip apart one of his companies is about all they can do - but committing arson to further an ideology is terrorism.

  • Anyone know why americans are relatively unconcerned about dying to totally preventable stuff like disease?

    Jump

  • Science showed things like climate change, which was hurting the bottom line of giant corporations who donate huge amounts of money to Republicans, so Republicans convinced their base that science is against God, and that it's all part of the evil woke liberals thing. So now anything that comes from science, including vaccines, is tainted.

  • Trump thinks he humiliated Zelensky. He really humiliated the United States

    Jump

  • Yes Putin sought NATO membership, but NATO was formed as a check on Soviet aggression, so that's a nonstarter. Russia invaded Crimea in 2014, and they thought they'd cakewalk into Ukraine as well. There's no slant where Russia is the good guy in this. You sound like a propaganda machine.

  • Russia sent people to talk about peace

    You mean the country that started the war by invading another country wants to discuss a peace they could have by simply getting out of that country? Russia, who has violated more than one ceasefire? What a bunch of crap.
