Best products from r/WatchPeopleDieInside

Depends on the age of your kids but this was the best road trip purchase ever. My kids were able to watch movies on the tablet (Netflix lets you download them to watch online) and play the switch as well.

Tried freezing water balloons for the cooler so we could reuse them, but I'd recommend legit balloons (egg sized or so) instead in the future since they're thicker.

Mostly stuck to the rest of my original post and the trip went great! I hope yours is as well, and I hope to hear an update about it :)

That's a myth, man. If you look down these comments, I put a longer explanation of it down (all the swearing and such in it are because there was somebody being a total douche)

Edit: here it is, straight copy and paste. Ignore the swearing, it was to somebody else. Also, I had a raccoon that's a bit of a mascot at work licking peanut butter suet off my fingers, he definitely had saliva.

"You really are a bitter, miserable person belligerent at everybody for no fucking reason, aren't you? Has it ever occurred to you to make your points in a way that doesn't make you seem like an utter twat and maybe, just maybe, have a rational discussion?

I doubt you'll listen to this at all as it's just my word that I read in a text in a course and lectured on it by the professor of that course (Wildlife Management at Ohio State.) But I don't really care, maybe somebody else on the thread will find this interesting. I'm far from an expert, I can only say what I learned in college and on the job. And I will say, I thought this was a recent thing to be researched and watched but it's not at all so I guess I can thank your boorishness for that.

The idea that they have inadequate saliva glands was a hypothesis from a rather influential, if controversial, French naturalist Georges-Louis Leclerc in the 1770's. But starting about 1979 (from what I can tell) it seems a substantial portion of naturalists and wild life researchers that write and work on Wildlife (especially in the United States, Germany and Japan) were coming to see it another way. It comes down to their paws.

I read this one in college https://www.amazon.com/Peterson-Reference-Behavior-American-Mammals/dp/0618883452 which in the raccoon section talks extensively about how raccoon's paw pads are one of their most important sensory organs and how they use it to judge what they're about to eat. They do this pad handling and rubbing no matter what, as you can find plenty of videos and pictures of them doing it nowhere near water (want links? I found some from just crazy people hand feeding in their back yard, some wildlife trap cams and some articles and a video from Smithsonian sites and NatGeo.) Why they seem to do it most in the water, while yes they will use it as an opportunity to brush off excess rubbish (but will happily eat garbage anyways when nowhere near water) is that the flesh of their pads will become more sensitive and pliant in water, allowing them to feel what they're about to shove up their gob even more so and judge best they can if it's really something edible.

Seriously though, this is a super low hanging fruit. You accuse me of just skimming a single article but if you actually do any kind of search, whether just a quick google/wikipedia (which has a whole slew of credible references about this exact thing btw) looked on sites like the smithsonian, or find a book on it you'll see that a good number of people in wildlife communities consider this a mistaken hypothesis that became a myth. I found a 50 minute video of a lady continually feeding a pair dry kibble and they went to town on it like the fat trash pandas they are, no problems with saliva not letting them eat. So scientific consensus is in fact not at all what you said and that you're also a cunt.

Edit: Forgot to mention when saying it's not as recent as I thought. The first wildlife studies that I could find in old text book references and online is from 1979, a study piece titled "Procyon lotor" credited to Lotze, J.-H. and S. Anderson."

I'm so sorry you had to go through that awful experience. But thank you for sharing your story. I can definitely tell you're a strong person.

If you would like, I'll recommend two books that may be of use to you:

1. Courtney Armstrong's Transforming Traumatic Grief
   
   
2. Kathleen O'Hara's A Grief Like No Other
   
   I haven't actually read them myself, but I've heard good things about both, so I put them on my emergency reading list (like you, I like to be prepared). You don't have to read them if you don't like, but they should be exceptionally useful tools to supplement your therapy sessions. (I'm not sure what country you live in, so supply might vary.)
   

The comfy cone.

Great idea for giving your pet some comfort during an already hard time.

This is the set I got, they seemed to be recommended for hearing aid wearers, but there are cheaper options.

It only takes about half an hour to charge them for 6 hours of use, so I'm pretty happy with them.

HOLY LMFAO I did the exact same thing but with this $125 Zojirushi electric griddle instead. I know this comment is 1 month old, I just thought it was funny.

okay, so, this is not correct.
lego's pricing has been very consistent throughout its existence - you're not paying for design or license, you're paying for the bricks and you always have been.

the average per-brick cost of lego is about $0.09 (american).
(some are a bit more, some are a bit less, depending on how much plastic goes into the piece.)

take a look for yourself.
regardless of the license, the costs of the sets are consistent with the number of bricks you're getting. $25 sets, usually around 200-300 pieces. $60 sets, six or seven hundred bricks.

even when it's a ridiculously expensive set - like this $800 millenium falcon - you can see for yourself, the set has over 7,500 pieces.
or this one, a $200 'slave one' (boba fett's ship) with about 2000 pieces.
$30 space shuttle, 300 piece set.

very very consistent pricing.

based on his videos, this man had hundreds of thousands of individual bricks.

possibly millions.

based only off what we see, he could have lost tens of thousands of dollars worth of plastic bricks and possibly more.

now obviously, the bricks don't cost as much to produce as they're sold for, but they don't cost nothing.
materials and manufacturing time are not free - and considering the sheer volume of pieces, shipping alone would be wildly expensive.

now, it's also true that lego is the most valuable toy brand on the planet but they did not become so profitable by giving shit away. replacing even a tenth of this guy's collection isn't going to cost them nothing.

The pair in the video looks like AudioTechnica M50x's. Lol

Not all Nerf darts stick but Nerf definitely produces suction darts: https://www.amazon.com/Official-Nerf-N-Strike-Suction-30-Pack/dp/B00EAHXWEU/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1541437416&sr=8-3

I have (these)[https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00X5ISRGI/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1] on several pairs of headphones. They're absolutely fantastic.

They're called miracle berries, or miracle fruit.

$110 - Moto Z Force (shatterproof screen)

It even has a gamepad mod. Perfect for kids.

Good news! You can simulate this at home with this high-tech simulator!

Fun fact: There's a chicken soup for the soul dog food.

Chimes ginger chews. I usually find them at the Asian market near me. They're also on Amazon.

Every few years we should administer a basic intelligence test.

In a reasonable amount of time and without help we tattoo "MORON" on their head so everyone knows.
