And I thought, \"That's weird, I'm too old to lose baby teeth, but I can feel another tooth behind it...\" but we couldn't afford a dentist so I just ignored it. And so then the bonus tooth didn't really have much of a gap to grow into, since I already had my adult teeth. So it grew in sort of behind (ie, closer to the center of the roof of my mouth) the gap. Eventually, when I had insurance and had to get my wisdom teeth removed, they removed the weird bonus tooth, too. They had to cut it into pieces with lasers to be able to remove it.

Visually it’s unbalanced, even for being intentionally unbalanced (this could be done much better... these guys are just thinking any negative space is good.. which is not true, its an incredibly delicate visual tool to leverage).

I'm about 6 foot, and I swear it seemed like the legs were as tall as me.\n\nIsle Royale has no deer, interestingly---the Moose got there because moose swim, and the wolves got there by walking across the winter ice. So it's sort of a Moose haven.\n\n",

"That’s probably a good idea. I really needed it as I got a job doing videography/editing for a nonprofit and my T3i just wasn’t cutting it. Though I’ve heard for video, having a much higher MP count can create moire lines worse for some reason, and they didn’t up the MP from the A7s to the A7sii, so who knows\n\nI do! I use the Cine V version (not the speed booster one). It works perfectly most of the time. The only lens I’ve had a major problem with is my 18-135 kit lens, which worked for a while and now whenever I put it on looks like a fisheye almost, or like I’m looking down a tunnel. I got a Sony G-OSS 25-105 though so it’s not a prob for me. \n\nOther than that, only small problems (for me). There are some natural limitations, such as having to do manual profile corrections if you’re doing photography, and the autofocus doesn’t work nearly as well as a Sony lens will.",
"I just debunked the first piece of data.",
"Who cares about the source image? All that matters is the image we see here.",
"I don't see why not? The rx100 and A7 series use the same style of sensor. The 1000fps mode on the rx1000 is just 2 sec Burst, [but I've caught amazing stuff with it](https://gfycat.com/MindlessDistortedFirecrest)\n\n\n\nI would love that feature on an interchangeable lens body, for macro and zoom shots.",
"Oh, I thought you meant with the Full Frame sensor of the a7riii",
"I do? Both the RX100M4 and the A7Riii use backside [illuminate](https://images.complex.com/complex/images/c_scale,w_1100/fl_lossy,pg_1,q_auto/heajufqftkwkewwa0vwq/illuminati)d sensors. The highspeed footage on the RX100M4 is buffered into highspeed memory on the sensor and then transferred onto the SD card. \n\n\nThe A7RIII is plenty fast enough to perform this task, shooting full resolution 42MP images at 10FPS. That's a much higher data through put than the RX100M4, and those burst images are stored on the sensor's integrated high speed memory. \n\n\nAFAIK all of the technical requirements are there for sony to add this feature to their A series cameras. But as of yet, I cannot understand why they have not done it.",
"I stand corrected.",
"Yep, its simply impossible to post a raw file that hasn't already been rendered as either a jpeg/tiff/bmp etc. I'm trying to wrap my head around what camera this is, as the photographer seems to use canon a lot, we've got a Canon 5ds at work which is simply breathtaking, but its 50mp, this could be a crop of that maybe? the dynamic range looks about right in the shot.

The long open shutter allows more light to hit the camera's sensor, and since stars are generally pretty dim the longer the shutter is open the better. The moon is illuminated enough to light the ground up but not so bright it drowns out the stars. Also, this is probably Namibia which has one of the lowest population densities in the world so there isn't much light pollution to get in the way of the stars either. \n\nAlso, just for fun, the \"trees\" are (probably) *Aloidendron barberae*, which are very closely related to *Aloe vera* (until recently they were in the same Genus).

Totally passed it off as a publicity stunt, which it still is, but boy was I dead wrong about the public reaction and that of my own. \n\nThe general public throughout much of the world has seemingly lost all interest in space exploration in the face of the numerous issues we face terrestrially. When we stop thinking about space and what lies beyond, I personally feel that is when we will start to officially lose our way as a species. Space needs to be approachable and exciting for the everyday citizen, not just scientists and astronomers. \n\nA few years ago I bought a nice telescope for my girlfriend on our two year anniversary. I had never used a telescope in my life and didn't really expect to see much. \n\nWhen I first looked through the lens to see a binary star system, something clicked in my brain. It was one of those rare \"Holy.Fucking.Shit.\" moments I will never forget. Just witnessing the enormity of space and peering out into the great unknown took my breath away. I was 30 years old at the time, but I might has well been 5. My mind still reels every time we set up the telescope to look at the stars and planets. The first time I saw the rings of Saturn in her telescope I almost wept.\n\nYesterday I felt like millions of other people were having a moment like the one I had years ago, that something *clicked* in humanity and we were sharing a special moment in time. \n\nIf this type of publicity stunt is what gets people actually talking and interested in space, then I say keep them coming.

If everyday people see space as frivolous, NASA and similar agencies throughout the world will be defunded. \n\nPersonally I see space exploration and colonization as the potential path to our immortality as a species. Until we plant seeds on other worlds, we are just one global calamity away from extinction, whether that’s a human cause like nuclear war or environmental destruction, or an unpredictable even like an asteroid impact or gamma burst. \n\nI’ve noticed that people really differ in how they view the species. I consider myself a humanist in the sense that I want to see what’s best for humanity as a whole. Many others only seem to want their own tribe and their own generation to prosper at the expense of others. I believe that kind of thinking is bad for the universe, and I will not mourn the passing of tribalism and it’s artifacts like nationalism and religion. ",

It never was. Its going to out to the distance of the orbit of Mars. Originally the goal was to get to orbital distance of Mars, but they exceeded that goal. The plan was always for the car to be in a elliptical, heliocentric orbit with the apogee at around the orbit of Mar and the perigee around the Earth's orbit.

A 6\" dobsonian is perfectly adequate for viewing the solar system and the bigger, brighter deep sky objects like Andromeda, the Pleiades, and the Orion Nebula.

I recommend calling ahead of time to be sure they are doing a star party if you do go. I plan on going back at some point and even heading to the summit to see the telescopes up close. I went to Maui 10 years ago but the big island is something else entirely. Just magical. ",

However, because the launch was outside the 2018 Mars launch window between April–May 2018, the Roadster will not encounter Mars at aphelion. Even if the launch occurred at the right time, neither the payload nor the Falcon Heavy upper stage is designed to operate in interplanetary space, lacking in propulsion, maneuvering and communications capacity required to enter Mars orbit.\n\nGiven how far they overshot Mars, maybe they would have had enough fuel to insert into Mars orbit.",

"I'm only a little ahead of you in that I've done some research into which kinds of telescopes tend to be the best bang for the buck. The next critical piece of information is picking an aperture size sufficient for your needs. From what I've read, a dobsonian with a 5\" to a 6\" mirror will be able to resolve almost anything you could want to look at. Sure, going up to a $6000 telescope with an 18\" mirror will get you outstanding shots of the moon, planets, and other phenomena, but that's a bit much to start out with.\n\nAs for other features (like star tracking, where a telescope keeps itself aimed at a target while the earth rotates) that depends on your own personal taste and how much time you want to drop on the hobby.\n\nedit: you can get much further in all this if you DIY it, but as a mechanical engineer who decided to build a 3D printer before buying one: just buy a decent telescope and do DIY later. You'll be able to enjoy a basic telescope immediately and learn from it as you go, rather than getting frustrated with a time and money sink that doesn't have an immediate reward.",

I’d seriously like to know\n\nThere are some pictures that come from the right angle and show the other cameras.\n\n*** Another serious question, why is everyone so infatuated with this?\n\nIt’s a core part of our human nature to explore the unknown. This is the beginning of an unknown exploration. I get that the immediate goal of the company spacex is to be able to make money using these rockets but it will turn into so much more. Humans are fascinated with the unknown and want to learn as much as we can about where we fit into the cosmos. This stunt touches us more personally because it’s such a familiar item floating in space to us. There are cars everywhere on earth but now there is one in space. It doesn’t belong there which is sparking interest and making people think about what lies ahead in regards to space exploration.\n\n***Elon Musk has so much money that he can send one of his cars into space just for shits and gigs? \n\nThe practical reason he sent this up was to test his falcon heavy rocket with a live load. Most of the time rockets are sent up with some sort of dummy load that is concrete or something generic and boring. Sending this up was just more of a fun option. Yeah, it’s a great product placement but I don’t think that was the first thought in their mind. Yes, this company is made to make money by sending up private corporations hardware, satellites, supplies, etc, but it opens the door to so much more in terms of what we humans can accomplish in the future.\n\n***I have trouble feeding my children. My wife and I both work and we still have trouble paying rent and bills. Our priorities in this country are so fucked. We get distracted by stupid shit. \n\nNASA has had a lot of funding cut so us tax payers aren’t paying for this type of stuff as much. I love the fact that he is willing to spend private funds on this type of thing. It’s for the better of the whole world. It creates jobs and pushes innovation, not only for his company but for others looking to do this. \n\n*** Our priorities in this country are so fucked. We get distracted by stupid shit. Labels are put on everything to create division. We pick “teams” and criticize the other.

The very core of our human nature has had its curiosity peeked and we are all discussing it to learn more. I haven’t seen too much division in this comment thread and for reddit that’s pretty amazing. Just think about years from now when innovations like this lead to deep space exploration. The whole world will be united in some form or fashion, if not just out of excitement and curiosity for a short moment. This has brought out curiosity, excitement, joy, wonder and so much more. To me, this type of distraction brings people together rather than divide.\n\nOr, I’m just an idiot and have been watching a 2 day long commercial.",

No rational investor would ever say, \"hey i got this extra money I'm going to put it into starting a risky business in the riskiest engineering field, that's a sure thing to get a return on my investment!\" The fact that the actually turned a profit with this business pursuit is an achievement all its own. Getting contracts is an unfortunate necessity to funding innovation, since this field is so expensive. Simple-minded investors would just go for a sure-thing, like real estate. Also the car wasn't the 'entire focus' of the launch. It was a dummy payload. Initial rocket proving tests from the 50s and 60s also included dummy masses, before the vehicle was proven capable of carrying an expensive payload. The first rocket test flights didn't return any science either, but rather proved the engineering of the new ideas. This is no different than that. Why are you imposing a burden on Spacex that they have to launch for science anyways? They have launched PLENTY of commercial comm satellites, and PLENTY of nat'l security payloads.

I grew up in Florida and have seen the shuttle launches from when I was a kid. \n\nNow, back to the cost, do you honestly think they would spend millions of dollars JUST for an ad? They got all these incredibly smart people to build a rocket (not just any rocket, mind you; the most advanced rocket ever successfully launched and landed on the same platform), that is fully capable of carrying a payload such as the Tesla Roadster. Only, they won't put the Tesla in the rocket rather, just use special effects. Not only that, everyone who was working on the mission had to be in on it! That's likely to be a thousand plus people! More! Yet, there's no official statement about any of this being faked or just for publicity/advertising. \n\nListen, the burden of proof is on you to support your claims.

"The other poster is correct but perhaps a little confusing to read.\n\nYou perform the burn on the night side (assuming a counter clockwise orbit, same direction that Earth orbits the sun) because that is the side facing away from the sun, and when you are in that point in the orbit, you are traveling in the same direction as Earth around the sun. On the day side, you are traveling the opposite direction as the Earth. So if you burn going in the same direction, it adds velocity to your orbit, which means you are going the Earth's speed plus your new burn, which means you can travel to planets further out (whose orbits have more energy). If you burn going the opposite direction to the Earth, then your orbit slows down and you can travel inward to planets closer to the sun (whose orbits have less energy). If you tried to burn the opposite direction in either of the points, then you would lower your orbit into the Earth and crash.",

"Well being done with it is one thing. But physics, and so by extension space, is a huge passion of mine, and I'll be a physics teacher soon.\n\nSo every time I see someone claim some huge achievement in physics or spacefairing is attacked, I cry a little. If we all just worked together, we would've colonized the solar system by now. If we didn't have religion, I have no doubts that we would've reached the next star already.\n\nYou obviously don't have anything to do with this, but this doubting of scientific achievements, when they have been verified by independent other scientists, is just turning people away from it, and slowing down the progress we could be making.",
"Just because you don't like an organization isn't enough to invalidate the evidence that space travel is a real thing. You have yet to provide any concrete evidence that disputes anything I've brought up. \n\nYou just said it yourself, the Falcon Heavy made it out of the atmosphere and into to space. There was no nose dive, watch the videos again. Once the rocket is reaching the outer limits of the atmosphere it has to angle in order to gain speed for orbiting Earth. This is when the boosters are no longer necessary and return to the platform. Video footage or not, there are thousands of people who saw and HEARD this event. That's what I meant by the sonic booms upon reentry. It can be heard for fucking miles. We can ask anyone in Cape Canaveral and I guarantee they were either watching or they heard some boom.\n\nYou're derailing again, can you please stay on topic and stop with the tin foil conspiracy shit. I'm talking evidence, you're talking bullshit brainwash. This is SpaceX that is launching the rockets, not NASA. What the fuck does the shuttle have to do with any of this? What point we're you trying to make? That the shuttles we're fake too? \n\nTell me, honestly, do you think every single space mission is fake? All of them? Russia? Japan? China? Hell, even India has a space program that launches satellites! All of these are fake? What's the fucking point? To dupe the people into what? That would be retarded, and a monumental waste of resources. There's no fucking illuminati/conspiracy super plan to fool people that we can fly to space, for no fucking reason. \n\nProve it! Prove it! Prove it! Show me something real and not some bullshit brainwash shit you read from some fucking tin foil nut job who makes a buck from their shitty blog by idiots like yourself who listen to that garbage.\n\nI'll wait patiently.

"Your hyperbolic opinion is well noted. Houses are 200-600k, college tuition is 20-100k per year, and the model 3 is 35-100k.\n\nSo it seems as though they cost about the same as any other luxury car, but the more important piece is whether or not it pressures competition. It's also making larger scale battery storage and electric vehicles more prevalent, which could extend to our power grid eventually with enough popularity. That would do more to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels than anything else right now, short of solar panels becoming free or reaching 80% efficiency.\n\nIf he's practicing unfair labor practices (which I've heard from multiple sources, at best employees are severely overworked) I hope it's investigated and prosecuted justly. I don't much care about Elon Musk as a person, he's interesting on his face but I'm sure he has a TON of baggage and psychological problems. Of course now that I think of it so do a lot of people. Maybe everyone. Of course it becomes more problematic as you scale with power. If the end result of his power is a major step towards shifting away from fossil fuels for transportation and potentially grid with the addition of keeping the public's interest in space exploration then I'm not sure how not to weigh that against the bad. IMO there are so many bigger fish to fry as far as unethical behavior goes (the entire government, literally every other government in the world, other larger international corporations, banks, telecoms, etc.) that being so vehemently against Tesla, Musk, or Spacex seems unreasonable. The fervent hyperbole makes me wonder if you've been personally affected by Musk or one of the companies and are judging the situation emotionally as well as practically.\n\nI hope you have a talent to see beauty in the world, because it seems like you're a master of focusing only on the negatives. But regardless, you may well have a point - perhaps the evil of Musk is much deeper than it appears. So far there's no evidence (once you sift through the wild exaggeration) to hold such a strong opinion, so I hope you can see why others might feel similarly.\n\nWelcome to your opinion, but you might want to work on your persuasiveness.",

People can subscribe to it so posts will show up on their home page of reddit. Might be a cool way to start discussions or a sort of community around your work and style. You could continue to use r/pics for the amount of exposure it gets, and those who are interested to look for more would be able to find everything in one place.

No, having a cool car fly around the moon isn't going to ruin space travel and exploration.

"So pretty!! I love it.",
"That about sums it up for me! ",
"This is incredible, perfect colors",
"Nice! I'm interested in embroidery from this reason, would love to embroider my own clothing.. anyone have experience with this kind of thing?",
"It’s pretty easy once you get the basic techniques down. You also want to research how to prep your material (fabric, thread, etc) so it can withstand being washed. I made the mistake of not using a stabilizer behind the pattern, which makes the end result super fragile. ",
"Ohh ok. Do you recommend getting of those embroidery hoops? I'm also unsure what to do with all my \"practice\" embroidery.. chuck it out? ",
"Yes! The hoop keeps the fabric tight, so it’s much easier to stitch. I use both a 6” and 4” hoop, depending on the size of the project. I’d definitely recommend practicing on loose fabric before moving onto clothes. You can get a stitch ripper in case you mess up on your clothing piece, but you may damage the fabric underneath a little. ",

"Have you seen any of Trish Burr’s tutorials? The technique I used in the flower pedals is called needle painting and I learned a lot from her tutorials. I also have a couple of her books for beginners, which was helpful too! \nFor beginner guides and learning others types of stitches, like the knots used for the middle of the flower, I look for illustrated tutorials on Pinterest! ",

I really like the way this is done as it doesn't rely on perfection to get a nice final product. Really interested in trying this! I've loved embroidery ever since I was a kid and it would be awesome to be able to do it myself. Thanks for the recommendation!"

"I think the worry some people have might be that they're worried some people might do it on a whim without carefully considering what they're doing. There are stories of people attempting suicide, surviving, immediately regretting it, getting help, and going on to have productive, happy lives. Maybe euthanasia-detractors don't want suicide to be 'easy access' in case someone who could've been one of those times. I'm not supporting this POV, nor the other one where euthanasia is legal, nor do I really think if it were legal it would be 'easy access', I'm simply offering up another possible explanation. \n\nFor instance, [suicide among young people](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridgend_suicide_incidents) can spread like any other pop culture trend. Perhaps folk hear euthanasia being called assisted suicide, and they think more depressed people or youths committing suicide rather than compassionate end-of-life care. I remember hearing a story in the documentary [The Bridge](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0799954/) where one man jumped off, regretted it, but survived the impact and afterwards got help for his mental health issues, so the idea of a person regretting their suicide isn't exactly a crazy one. \n\nAgain, not supporting one side or the other, just tossing around some other perspectives. I understand that euthanasia would not be easy or quick to achieve for an individual, but maybe not everyone does.",
"Just remember, bee yourself.",
"So, that's a \"no\" on the sources front then? Certainly nothing to back up your claim of being able to avoid these \"issues\" by eating well. ",
"See, I feel like the way he went seems fitting, then. Why stick around for all that and have people wipe your ass while you go insane? ",
"Must be hard being a comedian but a child rapist at the same time....",
"Not sure which country you are in so it may be different.\n\nI’m not sure if you sat there while the morphine worked.\nAll I can tell you is the last two days of my fathers life, while the morphine was upped, were the most traumatising even though I knew that was the only way he would die faster.\nWatching him go in and out of consciousness, cough up black gunk, struggle to breathe and not control his bodily functions... the worst was the slowing down of breathing. Sometimes it would take 10 seconds for him to take a breath but it felt like minutes. Each breath we thought was the last and it went on for days.\n\nAssisted suicide should be fast and painless. What’s on offer now is a slow torture. Even if my father wasn’t conscious I knew he was embarrassed, in pain and wanted nothing more than to either be cured or for it to be over. The former was never an option.\nFor our family it was like having somebody slowly suck the life out of you.\nEvery minute you wonder how much longer, can I go to the toilet, can I take a nap. What if after a week of waiting, dad dies while I’m going to get something to eat for the first time in days. Forget about showering. \n\nYes some doctors may be helpful and do all they can, but it is still undignified.",
"Source?",
"But I do not wish for them to suffer. I wish for no one to suffer.",
"I think the difference was that this wasn't as close to \"natural\" death so it was really more of a \"say goodbye to everyone\" and then sleep until the end. There was maybe once where a little bit of consciousness was there but it was more like someone stirring in their sleep. \n \nI agree with you though, assisted suicide should be fast and painless (and also have some safeguards in place to ensure that it is \"warranted\" with a terminal illness or other life debilitating future). I'm sorry you and your dad had to go through that.",
"Agree to disagree. I don't see anything heroic about suicide. He had nothing to lose. We all die eventually and he was in pain suffering from a terminal disease. Seems logical to me, not heroic. ",
"Was it not auto erotic aspyxiation? Pretty sure he tied a belt around his closet door and couldn't undo it before it was too late",
"No I completely concur with you: if it were up to me, I'd make euthanasia legal, but with rules and regulations.\nFor example, your doctor has to do a thorough examination of your \"state\", fill a government form, send it to a government body, then a government-sanctioned doctor (or panel of doctors) will review the form and even conduct their own tests on you, before finally giving the green light on euthanasia. In other words, I also don't want euthanasia to be something that anybody can just walk into a doctor's office and receive.",
"Lol wut",
"When he says goodbye at the end of I believe his last move. The last night at the museum. It makes me sad as can be for someone I never met.",
"Fuck watching them start slipping mentally and emotionally is the worst. Just be grateful it was fast man. I’ve been watching my dad slowly die from renal disease for years and it’s just gut wrenching. Watching parents die has solidified the decision to take my own life much later down the road instead of suffering and passing that misery onto the ones around you. I have a jaded view of suicide. I think Robin Williams killing himself was the best possible outcome in the situation. It’s shitty to say but life doesn’t get better after a certain point, just a slow steady roll down the hill hitting every rock and tree on the way down. I think I’d rather go off the cliff instead. I’m sorry you had to watch that but atleast you were there for him. There’s not much else you can do. Taking care of your parents is like putting away your cart at the grocery store. Everyone is expected to do it...but somehow people still neglect it. ",
"To me, \"he died as a hero\" translates to \"he died as Robin Williams.\" Who is in fact, a hero.\n\nOtherwise he would have died as a sick old man, a shell of his former self. He was this way we get to only Remeber Robin how he wants to be remembered.",
"Lol, you know if that was the case, I'm sure he was at least able to have one last laugh before going out. Not the worst way to go.\n",
"fuck you\n\nI know it's a joke but the military deserves respect. ",
"I miss him so much. He was such a gift to those who grew up watching his films!",
"I'm a veteran and we get enough respect, numerous national holidays and for-life benefits, you know? We don't need millions of dollars wasted on a dictator-style ego-stroking parade.",
"We haven't had one in forever and it's about more than your view of Donald, it helps the veterans themselves feel proud and relatives of those who died. ",
"We also haven't had a steam locomotive explode in forever, doesn't mean we should have one now. And I'd bet you every veteran/active duty member would rather get a 4 day pass to see their families than participate in a damn parade. And what do you think Memorial Day is for? Or Veterans Day? I don't even get Veterans Day off work. \n\nI've fed the troll enough for now, I think. ",
"You really don't know if he chose this or not. I'd argue the disease makes it impossible for anyone to make such a decision with a sound mind. It's just as likely he was delusional while he died as it is that he chose to die. ",
"It's the one way in which we are denied autonomy. We cannot be bought and sold but our right to end our own lives in the way that is dignified and peaceful is denied to us. \n\nI've heard it said it's to prevent people being \"encouraged\" to commit suicide for family financial reasons but that's BS. Just because something can be misused doesn't mean it shouldn't be allowed. \n\nI do suggest not using a gun to end your own life; if it gets to that point, score some insulin. It's what suicidal paramedics use to end it and the going is far less horrific for the people who find you than death by firearm.\n \nMy friend's father committed suicide by shooting himself and it was my friend who found him. :( ",
"I suffer from depression and have fought it for over 20 years. It's swung to suicidal levels as well.\n\nI finally got medicated for it and have been very lucky that the first one they gave me is helping. I can't imagine going through pill after pill, not even hoping because I was just a meat robot aping human feeling.. just thinking this one might work, no this one, no this one... when will I feel, when will I know what those other people seem to know, when will the smiles go down to my core... and failing again and again and again... the few people who know just don't believe me. You're so happy! So positive! Yeah no. I just didn't want to be a burden so I play acted. \n\nYeah. Just because the body is healthy doesn't mean there isn't suffering. When everything is going right in your life and you still feel like your dog just died but you have to smile and clap and go along with all the happiness... \n\nYeah. No. I can see just saying \"fuck this\" and giving up. There's only so many times you can get back on that horse before you think maybe horses aren't for you. ",
"Thank you so much for your reply… I was being hyperbolic about the bullet thing though. If I were to commit suicide? It would be either with a massive heroin overdose or with inert gas suffocation. Both absolutely painless quick and leaves are pretty corpse",
"He looks like Walter White.",
"Some people just *are* nice. I think he is one of them. Or was. I always thought so and I think that's why so many of us loved him. He was like the world's uncle",
"Honestly, that would make it less sad for me. Thinking of someone like Robin Williams killing himself just because he couldn’t take it is disheartening in the extreme. \n\nIf he killed himself because of an illness that would’ve reduced his quality of life is much less tragic, in my opinion. \n\nIt’s odd. The tragedy of his death doesn’t change, but the tragedy of his reasoning does. ",
"I caught The Birdcage the other day, and apparently I’d forgotten he was dead, because remembering he is dead sucked. ",
"That does sound better than what we were offered.\nEither way, the loss of a loved one will be painful.\nSorry for your loss as well.\n",
"I hope you have a wonderful life and live to have a whole gaggle of grandkids, if that is your want. 😊 ",
"Lmao goddamn that was pretty good ",
"I remember reading something that comedians are usually really depressed people",
"Are you seriously karmawhoring a dead mans pic? Nice",
"That type of suicide SHOULD ABSOLUTELY BE GLORIFIED. You own your body, you own your legacy. Robin Williams knew this and acted appropriately.",
"When I found out he killed himself because of his battle with LBD, I too felt strangely relieved. I guess because there was a meaningful reason for him to take his own life- he took back control in the only way he could. He knew he was going to die and wanted to go on his own terms, not as a slave to the horrible disease inside of him. I think he also knew how much his family was hurting just watching him fade away and deteriorate. He was as much a hero in life as in death."

"In 1942 there was no war in Europe except for the eastern front, in which no US soldiers fought, and in the north Africa campaign there was no real US involvement until Nov. 1942 due to operation Torch. Besides that, the model of tank shown, the M2, was essentially obsolete and only took part in the Guadalcanal campaign in late 1942 and early 1943, and afterwards was only used as a training tank. Their use in the military parade was likely chosen due to these factors, and the purpose of the parade was most likely to raise civilian confidence in the military and the country."
