I’ve always had fun trying to say ever letter in most words. Like that french knight in Monty Python, “I blow my nose at you, so-called Arthur king, you and all your silly English k-nnnigggets” which is hilarious to me because french words dont use like half the letters in them usually
My wife does that, I’ll ask what she want to do “next weekend” on like Wednesday but that doesn’t mean the coming Fri, Sat, Sun to her, that’s “this weekend”
I can’t deny it does make sense to me somewhat, last is previous, this is current, and next is the one after current, but next and this for weekends are the same until you get to Thursday in my opinion.
I used to live about an hour away, bernheim is actually one of the nicer forests that I’ve hiked around they have lots of beautiful trails and wooded areas
The first Dark Souls was 2011. Diablo was released in 1997. World of Warcraft was 2004 and while you didn’t quite drop all your stuff and money you die you did have to run back to your corpse to keep from having all your stuff degrade and cost a bunch of money. The first Sonic was 1991 and getting hit makes you drop all your “money” and have to pick it back up.
It’s really just poker solitaire with a bunch of math added to flavorful bonus cards, if you’re not really into poker, solitaire, or math it isn’t going to be the right game for you.
I have a buddy that hates RNG, mostly plays shooter games, he hates poker in all its forms because of the randomness but I feel like learning to deal with probably and chance are really good lessons that apply to broader life.
Two cats, both have their own annoying thing. Black short hair bob tail: will get into any and all food if left out. Has learned to open cabinets and cupboard to get to hidden food. Has chewed through a cardboard box to chew through the bag of dog food, found him neck deep in the bag crunching away. Has chewed a hole in a canvas bag to get to dog food. Oh, and recently started peeing in the laundry. Long haired colorful: gets bored and wants to go outside, will wander the house screaming at the top of his lungs, clawing at every door. Happens anywhere between midnight and 3am, almost every night. Will bolt for the door if you have it open and aren’t watching for him. Where does he want to go? Rolls on his back in the road.
I’m a welding engineer and in 10 years of working in automotive manufacturing all of the controls engineers I worked with were electrical engineers who did basically ladder logic on PLCs all day every day. PLCs and ladder logic are the back bone of pretty much all industrial automation, of which the automotive world uses extensively
I’ve played through the first dungeon and I like it so far.
Isn’t grok also a slang word from A Clockwork Orange, meaning to understand, like the way grasp is used?
If it ain’t broke no need to fix it? Weed was never harmful except to authoritarian bottom lines
I just moved to upstate from the Bible belt, like half the people I’ve talked to about guns have complained that you aren’t allowed to shoot an intruder until they directly assault your person, not just them being on your property or inside the house taking stuff. Legit upset they can’t value their possessions more than another human life.
Seawater is two teaspoons salt per cup of water. That’s a little more than half a cup of salt per gallon of water. That is an unhealthy amount of salt.
And I’m sure leaded gas burns hotter, that doesn’t make it ok to do.
I will never stop being impressed by the absolute insanity that is British rhyming slang. Apparently I’ve never heard seppo before, short for septic tank, rhyming with Yank. I just learned a new mildy derogatory term for Americans, nice
Oh man I haven’t read QC in a long time, what happened?
You practically need tech bro money to afford a ticket though don’t you? The article says tickets are up to $2750, and while I know they go for less if you get lucky in the lottery or something like that they’re still like 800-1000$ just to get in. Who can afford that just as the entry fee, let alone what ever you need to survive the desert for a week?
Why can’t rural police be as corrupt or more, with even less oversight? How does that make city police not corrupt? What is the internal investigation process for rural cops, especially at the county sherrif level?
I’m most excited for fusion power generation. Currently we can ignite a fusion reaction but it takes more energy to control and contain it than you get back because it takes a huge amount of electricity to generate a magnetic field strong enough to contain the plasma. The strength of the magnetic field is proportional to the current flow, which is limited by how much cooling is required to maintain superconductivity. Without cooling taking a huge chunk of the power created by the fusion reaction we could net positive energy from the reaction and finally have a clean source of scalable nuclear power.
Should be holding a flood, there’s even an outtake from one of the voice actors.
