Hard to justify blowing a couple grand on a card when 5 years of GeForce Now costs well under half that amount. I normally dislike subscriptions but this one is solid IMO

Fallout 4. I think they did most things right with Survival mode and I’d consider it an entirely different game than the vanilla ‘fast travel and save anywhere’ experience, and it’d be fun to see an even more polished version with more focus on surviving in a world where NPCs are also trying to survive as opposed to more mechanics that don’t really broach that aspect such as settlement building. If they made a Fallout 5 that was a bit more challenging in that regard I’d probably consider it a masterpiece

Not only bladder cancer but a whole bunch of things. I used to run home from work and I would always pee right beforehand so I wouldn’t risk having to find some sort of place to pee, but then I started peeing blood every couple of weeks when my mileage went up to around the 10 mile mark. Apparently hematuria can happen from basically having a totally empty bladder chafe itself raw if you run long enough lol. I quit peeing before leaving work after my doctor recommended giving that a shot and it cleared up

Makes sense considering many protections don’t extend to civil matters, and he wasn’t even acting in any sort of governmental role at neither the time of the incident which compelled him to make the payment nor at the time of the payment itself.

The payment happened in October and this may be a shitty analogy but imo it’s like someone running a dozen red lights because they’re late to a police officer job interview. I mean, it may help them get the job but they’re acting as a private citizen and not in any sort of governmental capacity and it’d be absolutely bonkers for them to argue that they should retroactively have any sort of immunity on the basis that they did in fact get the job

I like watching the changes. The world and everything in it, including me, isn’t in stasis. People get old, I’m getting old, wild to look back at ‘young me’ or think of a close friend at a time when they were totally unfamiliar. My hometown is 10x larger and looks wildly different but I can still point out some unchanged spots when I go to visit.

I wish I could stop time and do whatever but I acknowledge that I was thrust into this with no say in any of it, so I just strive to be at peace with it I suppose

Torx is cool and all but all the touted virtues such as less cam-out go out the window if you have to drive them in at wonky angles, like tight fitting spaces. If you gotta angle the driver it’s not gonna seat well at all, apt to jump and wear out your bit. And if your only T20 rolls away and falls under a deck, yuck, 10mm problems.

Phillips has a place and that place is ‘a wonky place to hold a power drill’. That said I’m a huge fan of square head because it’s a happy medium between those two

The electrician equivalent is adding a 20A dedicated circuit along the wall and just snaking it all over the place through laziness (efficiency), and many moons later deciding to mount some tracks for a closet organizer but the voltage tester is freaking out like the wall is a game of Minesweeper

I just upgraded because we got a new condo and I’ve never had an awesome TV, and I’d say it’s totally worth it if you can put it to use, but with a decent 4K TV it’s a lot more than just the resolution. You’ll probably get HDR and 120Hz and Dolby Atmos and anti-jitter settings and upscaling and all sorts of crap and that really does seem to do a lot, compared to a midrange 1080p TV from >10 years ago, even if the source is 1080p. I even noticed a huge difference playing Baldur’s Gate 1 on Switch. For reference I went from some midrange thing to an LG C4 65" (seems to be the best ‘balling on a budget’ TV out there based on reviews, I mean there are better TVs out there but this thing delivers 95% of it for half the price)

They’ll be thinking the same thing tho and if there is a greater than 20% chance of them pulling the lever it’d be worse in terms of losing family members than not pulling at all.

But in terms of overall death, not pulling the lever is 1 or 4, and pulling the lever is 4 or 13

The outcome from both levers pulled is so steep that it really makes no sense to pull the lever

This isn’t anything to negotiate. Ukraine doesn’t want to fight, but Russia is attacking them on their own land. If you had any principles you’d also be willing to die on that hill. Their way of life and very existence is threatened. This isn’t like haggling over a car

About weed, funniest shit, republicans didn’t understand the language in a bill pushing for hemp-derived edibles and decided to push it through lol https://www.npr.org/2022/07/02/1109576113/minnesota-thc-edibles-accident-delta-8

I think that’s a different bill than our smokeable marijuana bill but you gotta appreciate the irony

After an amendment passed unanimously during a Minnesota legislative session in May, state Sen. Abeler jokingly said: “That doesn’t legalize marijuana — we just didn’t do that, did we?”

I’ve seen people get out of vehicles to try to take selfies with grizzly bear cubs. I could kinda see black bears but like wtf. But yeah you get slapped once by either and you’re pretty much dead if you aren’t within 10 minutes to a hospital.

Yeah, I’m familiar with Cambridge Analytica. My response was to a single paragraph unedited comment and I stand by what I said.

A confluence of things unrelated to the desires of billionaires helps influence what a person believes or what bias they will seek. I mean, I can’t just take some random left-wing person and have them read Fox News and expect them to become a Trump supporter, can I?

You can choose to stick your head into any echo chamber you’d like and a billionaire can’t control that

I think we’ll look back at him the same way we look at George W Bush. Just some really convenient guy that got nudged and tapped and talked into doing various things, all the way to the Oval Office. Not inherently bad, not actively trying to claw their way back into the limelight, and when it all blows over they just saunter off to enjoy the solitude for once. When he’s not thrust into a position where he’s trying to steer the ship he’s pretty much like that neighbor you don’t talk to much.

I mean, I’ll acknowledge that when the shit hit the fan, Pence was literally the only person in Trump’s orbit who wasn’t blowing smoke up his ass, dropped political crap altogether, and instead decided to nudge Trump by trying to instead frame it pragmatically, like how to acknowledge the loss and gracefully bow out. Gotta give him credit for behaving like that

A Republican politician circulating photos of underage girls without their knowledge or consent? Color me shocked. Unlike Gaetz, Cruz has the decency to only used clothed images, so at least we gotta give him credit for that

Look at your bodies, women! An internal inguinal canal less likely to cause a hernia, lower center of gravity, higher body fat, and less body hair for easier cleanup. God created you for spending long hours in the coal mines!
