I’m your back door lover

Conservatives like to call the West Coast the left coast. It’s their little way of making fun of progressive states.

Trump would be okay with that because it’s still a fuck you to the left coast.

At least 2…

I actually stopped using mine a long time ago, and every time I get a new laptop, I remove it. Not because I hate it, but because I like it. Even after modifying the acceleration settings to where I like them though, the repeated stress of pushing on the nub eventually start to develop dendonitis in my finger.

After I’ve trained myself to only use the trackpad I put the nub back on. Partly because it’s so iconic it just looks wrong without it, and partly because I want to avoid conversations with guest about my growing clit graveyard (although I guess I could just not leave them in a cup on the coffee table where everyone can see)

Well whatever it is, he’d probably prefer to just keep it in the family.

when you know a little German it’s much less confusing than it seems

speaking German is easy. Just know German!

40% (900W microwave) at 4m30s is my default go-to for pretty much everything.

Except reheating my frozen lasagna. That’s 20% for 22minutes

Neither is solar or wind. But they’re all net-zero or near-zero carbon emissions when considering the entire lifestyle of the energy and machinery production.

Visually, I was impressed. As far as seeing the universe brought to life, it was good. As far as watching a movie goes though, it was kinda bad - the pacing was off, elements weren’t explained to the viewer, etc. I’d have a hard time recommending it to a person that doesn’t know anything about Warcraft and is looking for a good movie to watch.

I hate Lord of the Rings. Well, I don’t hate it. I just don’t understand why people love it so much (not “why everyone loves it”, but “when one person loves it they love it more than anything else”). I don’t consider the story all that enjoyable, especially for the movies. I definitely don’t consider it rewatchable.

Like, I’m the target demographic. I was 16 when the first one came out. I played DnD and Magic the Gathering. Warcraft 2 was one of my favorite games. Mages and Orcs are something I’ve always had in my life since as long as I can remember. My parents read the Hobbit to me and I had read fellowship and two towers at some point around 11 or 12. But the movies? They just don’t connect with me. And I’ve never had anyone be able to put into words what it is that makes it click for them.

Snitched for a $60,000 reward that they’re not gonna get

I’ll be honest man: it sucked.

Imagine a time where you had a question, and you just… didn’t get to know the answer. Like, literally every time you just had to hope someone in your general area had some level of confidence in their answer to satisfy your curiosity until you could confirm it later. Or you’d just go around repeating it to people with out confirming. Whatever.

If something was important enough, you’d go track down an answer. Remember to look it up when you got home using your parent’s encyclopedias. Or make a trip to the library.

In a way, we kind of lost something: conversation and discussion. Before I feel like people really picked apart an issue where you’d all come up with a consensus over a few hours of discussion about a topic at a party or something. Then someone would come back with the answer another day, and bring in some more stuff they learned while looking it up, and it would start a whole new conversation.

Uranium is still there, it’s just sub-critical mass so the reaction isn’t happening. Uranium 235 (which would have powered the reaction) has a half life of ~700 million years. So there’s still probably a good bit of it there - the reaction is thought to have stopped about 1.7 billion years ago.

Would it be wrong to assume there’s a 4th casing out there somewhrre with “delay” on it, so our shooter’s message would be “you do the first 3, we’ll do the 4th”?

Because JJ Abrams never knows how he wants to end anything at the beginning.

It’s sooo hard to get away from games. You’ve either got Discord which is a shit show, or reddit which is an ad riddled shit show, but at least the comment and discussions are relatively structured.

My favorite version is:

A trolley is approaching a junction and you have the ability to leave the switch where it is, sending the trolley into an innocent person tied to the tracks, or pull the lever sending the trolley down the tracks to someone else that is now faced with the same trolley problem.

Yes and no.
