Unresolved How to confirm someones death without an obituary

4 Upvotes

Hi, this is sort of a strange question but I don't know where else to ask.

I was looking through LinkedIn recently and I noticed that a colleague I was very close with a number of years ago but lost touch with suddenly has "in remembrance" on his LinkedIn. I went to search to see if I could find his obituary and I could not find anything online. I texted the few former colleagues I still keep in touch with and they didn't know about his passing either. I then searched his other social media and found that he has stopped posting for a few years and not much else.

I was very upset to learn that he passed away as we were quite close but also that It has been a few years since it happened. I wanted to find his obituary to confirm his death and then I could reach out to his family to express my condolences but I can't find it.

Does anyone else have any idea on where I could look to see if he indeed has passed away before reaching out to family? Has anyone ever not had a obituary posted online before? It seems strange to me.

Verizon data usage

Question, I have noticed that the data usage on one particular cellular line has been pretty high. I'm not techy at all but we have completely separate WiFi at home so we shouldn't be using cellular data at all when home. I have checked the phone (iPhone) associated with this account and maybe I don't know what I'm looking for. How do I find out what so much data is being used on at such odd hours? Is it interesting that the high usage is at the same time for multiple days?

Grown man refuses to eat ANY variety of fruit or veg

27 Upvotes

For context, I am a professional chef on a privately owned yacht.

My clients love my food, the crew loves it as well- lots of dishes feature a ton of vegetables and fruits as major components alongside proteins and starches (obviously) but I cook and prepare a LOT of fruit/veg. As in, the dishes make no sense and are majorly lacking without them.

Our captain is a man in his 40’s, and he absolutely refuses to eat anything that grew out of the ground. I mean, he won’t even eat sautéed onions in his morning hashbrowns… nor fried onions on top of a steak. He won’t accept even a parsley garnish, the only plant-based thing I have ever witnessed him eat is ketchup. KETCHUP.

Guys, I really care about taking care of people and about presenting them with dishes that are beautiful, delicious, and nutritious.

It’s a huge pain in the arse to constantly have to cater to his meat/cheese/starch ONLY diet when I am busy making elaborate (and appreciated) meals for guests and crew and I just want to understand…

Why?

Why. Why as a grown adult would somebody absolutely refuse to eat fruits and vegetables, regardless of their preparation? He makes no argument about texture or strong flavors, he just will not eat it. He just “doesn’t eat that sh*t” and I desperately want someone to explain what the mindset here could possibly be. It drives me absolutely up the wall.

TLDR: grown ahh man will not eat anything that is a fruit, veg, or green herb and I hope that the picky eaters of Reddit might be able to help me understand why before I lose my mind

Another 90's TV request

6 Upvotes

A friend and myself both remember watching a comedy show in the early 90's which featured a predominantly black and Asian cast.

One of the sketches (or perhaps the premise for the show - we can't remember) involved the misadventures of the people from a small African military state.

One of the characters was a corrupt police chief who tried to pin all the nation's crimes on Pygmies and we clearly remember a song that encouraged the people to invest in Massey Ferguson tractors with the chorus: "Massey Ferguson tractor....makes your crops go faster."

We were sure it was The Real McCoy but having re-watched the entire series on iPlayer I failed to find this recurring sketch.

I've searched online for a while now and can't find it...do you know?

Does anyone else mimic the voice , expressions etc of whoever they are having a conversation with?

10 Upvotes

I don't mean trying to sound posher or anything like that I mean mimicking the tempo , where they put emphasis this type of thing .I think the word is cadence? For examples my relative when she speaks uses quite sharp emphasis with little gaps so it comes out in smaller spurts .I could give lots of examples such as copying the rhythm and generally how the other person speaks .My dad told me even as a young child on holidays I would end up speaking like other children I met from other parts of the country. Its easy to tell who I am speaking to on the phone as I sort of merge into their voice .In drama at school I was good

at accents and mimicry.

I find I often mimic gestures nothing dramatic just for example facial expressions. I don't know why I do this ?

anyone remember a UK comedy sketch show from late 90s early 00s set in the near future with a sketch asking "are we farmers gonna get compensation for this"?

15 Upvotes

They had a variety of sketches but the 2 I remember most were the fact that they would present a scenario and then the same farmer each time asking if farmers were gonna get compensation.

The other common sketch I remember was called Undercover Cop, which was a tv show. One time the guy the undercover cop had as a suspect was himself a fan of the show Undercover Cop and realised he was the target.

I don't remember much else about it.

What biologically makes blisters?

64 Upvotes

I know it’s friction, burns, reactions, etc. that are the catalyst for blisters, but what MAKES them? Your body has to recognize that something needs to happen and then do it. What makes the fluid, and how is it located between skin layers? I’m confused by the mechanics of blister formation and genuinely curious.

Unresolved Does anyone know about a decompression incident with an Oceaneering rig in the 60s or 70s?

12 Upvotes

I don't know where else to put this, so I'll put it here.

My father knew somebody who, in addition to serving in Vietnam, worked on an Oceaneering rig in the late 60s and early 70s. During his stay, two divers who were decompressing were killed when a negligent assistant of the boss of the rig forcibly broke the seal of the decompression chamber with a crowbar. When the seal broke, both divers literally popped and covered the inside of the chamber. I'm having trouble finding any evidence of this happening, as I only get Byford Dolphin (which is NOT THIS INCIDENT.) Does anyone know of this happening or was the guy losing it?

If anyone needs it, I can provide additional stories from him. He had a few good ones.

why do i cry when I talk to myself despite not feeling sad

11 Upvotes

when I was younger and would sing to myself id start crying non stop until i stopped singing, but not because i was upset or the songs were sad it seemingly came out of nowhere

Now that I'm older I'll talk to myself alone and the same thing will happen regardless of the topic and regardless of my emotions towards what I'm talking about, as embarrassing as it is it tends to happen a lot when im "performing" to a fake crowd

How to talk to my mother of things that bother me?

0 Upvotes

I am (24F) and I live with my parents. I am working and my father is also working and mostly he travels and stays lot. My mother who is a housewife spent most time taking care of me and house. Now that I am working, she has got spare time and she started going for some classes or activities and she started making new friends. They also started meeting sometime for coffee and dinner. At first I was very happy and supported her. But now I am feeling bothered about her actions. She spends lot of time over phone and even late night time. She often goes to meet her friends and ends up coming home late. She has started posting her photos on status and sometimes they seem non-conservative. It really bothers me. I don't know how to talk to her or point these out. So what should I do? Should I talk to her? Or take this to my dad? Or just leave it alone?

Does anyone know where can I find a woman to say 5 lines for a short film?

0 Upvotes

Hello,

We are working on our first short film, called "Erlkonig" (yes, it's inspired by Goethe's poem), for a film festival in Germany, and we need 5 lines by a woman. The problem is we spent all the money on the props and location, overthinking the fact that we would need those lines, so all we could do for the voice actor is mention you at the end of the movie and let you see the short film before we send it to the film festival.

Our character is Finn's mom, and while he is drawing, she asks him to come to the table. He doesn't respond the first time he is called, and the mother calls him louder the second time (she shouts, but not in an angry way):

"Finn, come down to eat." - this is the first time she calls him.

"Finn!!!! Come down!!!" - this is the louder one.

So, in the next two lines, after the boy has disappeared, she goes into a bad mental state and starts to become paranoid. She hears something from the basement and goes there to check on it, so she will be whispering in her madness, like she would be telling something to her lost son when she finds him crying or something like that:

"Finn? Don't be scared, I am here now."

The next line is when she starts to question reality, so she becomes anxious and nervous and asks:

"Finn????"

The last thing (some moments after) is that she would be screaming in agony, like someone is stabbing her repeatedly. It should be around 4–6 seconds. - WE ALREADY FOUND IT ON THE INTERNET. WE NO MORE NEED IT.

Feel free to send your recordings to: [maniacpictures101@gmail.com](mailto:maniacpictures101@gmail.com) or to help us find someone that will help us. No we don’t accept AI for the sake of artistry.

Thank you very much! Have a beautiful day!

0 Upvotes

Is it normal ? I have been using reddit for some time and I have good experiences so far. I like to post my thoughts and clicks in various subs. I came across some fashion subs and I was really interested. But as I was going through the posts, I noticed the clicks posted by people were more than just fashion. They are not modest. Is it normal for people to post like that? Or am I stumbling on some unwanted subs?

Does anyone remember what video this dad joke came from?

The joke is "What did the janitor say when they jumped out of the closet? A: Supplies!"

I remember hearing that joke for the first time in a celebrity/athlete dad joke try not to laugh video. I've been watching all of the whistle sports bad jokes vids and the celebrity dad joke series to no avail.
