The conductor accidentally knocks a 16th century violin worth millions on the floor mid-concert.

2026-04-17T12:11:56+00:00

Happened in a concert in Finland yesterday (April 16). The violin in question is a Giovanni Battista Guadagnini violin from the 1700s, and their prices range between around 1 to 3 million dollars.

According to the violinist Elina Vähälä she managed to soften the landing a bit with her foot, and while it is not outwardly broken, the incident did damage it enough to affect the sound and it is going to be sent to a specialist for damage assessment, and hopefully for repairs.

Source for the incident (in Finnish) in case someone demands it: https://yle.fi/a/74-20221206

EDIT: Pardon a typo in the title, it is a 18th century violin!

I honestly believe this is one of the biggest mysteries there is, Orcas are the most efficient predators on earth, yet they have never attacked us in the wild. They know something we don’t.

Nothing is funny anymore

2026-04-17T11:36:37+00:00

I (M, 38) have found that there are no new TV shows that make me laugh anymore. I have tried a lot of new(ish) comedies, but they all make me pine for my college/high school days.

The only thing that gave me a reflexive laugh recently was the Malcolm in the Middle Reboot.

Any thoughts?

TIL why James Bonds preference of a "shaken and not stirred" martini is controversial. Drinks containing only alcoholic ingredients are almost always stirred to preserve clarity and to avoid over-dilution, among other things.

5 days? Are you Serious, Embark…

2026-04-17T16:31:33+00:00

I saved up 3 million credits throughout this entire season to “chill” on the last phase of the expedition. It’s practically worthless now because of the lack of communication.

I do like the new change but this needed to be implemented in the BEGINNING on the season…

People have lives, on vacation, or have important stuff scheduled… like wtf, Embark. A 5 day window is absurd.

Usually, queer couples are beloved by at least a community of some fans, especially from LGBT community, but there are rare cases where this is the opposite

Boss expects me to work for free

2026-04-17T10:38:52+00:00

For context, I work for a small landscaping company. I had sprayed non-selective herbicide on some weeds growing in sidewalk cracks and along bed edges. Only one customer complained but the owner of the company went around to all of our properties and found about 5 spots total out of over 60 properties. He asked me to fix the situation by going around to till up the spots and put some sod down, which I replied yes absolutely, I take pride in my work as well as personal accountability for my mistakes. After the job was completed I had 3 pieces left over which I took to his house, filled out our time sheet, and after he received it I get a text stating "are you expecting me to pay you for your mistakes?". He's refusing to pay me for over 4 hours of labor (I get paid hourly, not salary). Isn't this illegal? It just isnt sitting right with me. I've known this man for 15 years and worked here for 2 years. I'm seriously considering turning in my keys and company credit cards. I always go above and beyond what is expected, even getting praise for my work but now this? This seems like a severe power trip and manipulation.

I just ate the nicest meal of my life

2026-04-17T20:32:22+00:00

…and I have no one to tell it to haha.

I was born poor. I grew up poor. And I’ve remained poor for my entire adult life. Except a few weeks ago things started to really turn around for me since I landed this chill job a small local vineyard and finally making more than scraps each check.

Today was the first wedding I worked there and it was a giant one. Legit like 300+ people were here. I didn’t realize, but sometimes wedding parties can check off if the working staff is allowed to eat the catering after a certain time.

I got to eat a plate with a giant steak, jumbo shrimp, and the freshest broccoli and carrots I’ve ever had. Hands down this has been the best food I’ve ever eaten in my life. Never been in a situation where I could ever remotely eat this good.

As I was quietly eating and people watching, I realized I was accidentally swaying to the music. I’m making the most I’ve ever made before eating the best meal I’ve ever dreamt of and for the first time in years I felt a wave of hope and happiness.

Just wanted to share. I hope you get your wave of whatever you’re looking for friend.
