oh good, another game company chasing after someone else's successful idea rather than trying something new.

Yeah, apparently the US averages about seven cases per year.

I'd also throw this one into the mix, though I suspect not a lot of people remember it ever existed. Or would nominate it for something like this even if they did:

I remember that show. I was actually reading a synopsis of it not that long ago because I was trying to remember the premise.

Second dose earlier today.

Why? Was there a beta people were disappointed in or something?
Well hopefully devs work on it and it turns out better

yeah? That seems like a lot of money, more than most people would have on hand I think

Maybe, but you can get a bail bond company to post the bail money. You pay between 10-20% of the bail amount and you don't get it back, but you don't have to front the full bail up front.

My best friend of nearly 40 years.

Which game are you drifting in? Drifting is my bane of Forza.

I haven't watched any of the movies except the first one, so none.

I actually just watched that clip earlier today.

Nothing, took mom out yesterday and she is having dinner with my brother today.

I feel like you did this one not that long ago...although given how I mentally seem to skip over 2020 it could have been over a year ago now.

Honestly this just looks like one of those standard click bait lists.

Knock-off cinnamon tic-tacs.

I didn't immediately recognize that one, but I did end up guessing the right episode.

In mr rogers neighborhood the how it's made was always my favorite segment

This. I still remember some of those segments 30+ years later.

I've got one stuffed in a closet somewhere.

Spark plugs. They need to be gauged to ensure proper spark

And the spark erodes the electrode over time, gradually increasing the gap.

captpackrat posted...

That plug is stuck and I can't get it out.

That is always a fun time especially since there is frequently insufficient space to use anything with decent leverage.

Are you kidding/ Everyone is Among Us

That actually came out in 2018 though.

I've been doing it for ten years so I imagine it will continue.

I can't imagine going back to an office at this point.

Is there anything that actually links to us rn or nah?

The daily polls link to both POTD and Actual POTD.

Those are pins for 13 of the content creators for Yogscast. 8 of them are blatantly other people's IP, 3 kind of fall into a fuzzier grey area, and 2 are effectively unique.

I've already mentioned a bunch of them, but go back and compare the ones I've mentioned to the images they have to use for their merch. Then throw in Thomas the Tank Engine, Phoenix Wright, Sailor Moon, Solid Snake, and "Left Shark", and you can kind of see how they had to change things up to either be "generic" or "legally distinct".

I'm honestly kind of surprised Disney hasn't given them shit about that Winnie the Pooh pin.

My arm is starting to hurt

Yeah everyone talked about how their arm hurt but I kind of underestimated how much that was going to suck.

is there seriously no bottom the just the level of stupid shit that people will believe

No. No there is not.

I'm not super hyped for the series tbh. Nothing I've seen has made me optimistic. Do want to reread the series though.

Neither do I, in no small part due to the fact that even the book series took a major downturn halfway through.

Mead posted...

This shit sucks. They originally said it would be back up by noon yesterday and just kept pushing the time back every couple hours. According to their outage site they didnt even start actually working on the repair until about an hour ago.

Weve kept our fridge closed to avoid any cold escaping, but I imagine some stuff is still gonna spoil. We literally just got a shipment of meals from one of those cook at home pre-prepared meal services. If we have to throw all that out it is gonna suck so much.

We had two multi-day outages last year so I feel your pain. We lost pretty much everything in our fridge the first time around because it was nearly impossible to get ice due to the scale of the outage.

Honestly, probably a gun store. Tannerite is used to make explosive practice targets.

It is also sold as components rather than as the complete explosive, so it isn't regulated as an explosive. Seems weird but when you consider the number of common things that could be combined into explosives I guess it makes sense.

Blightzkrieg posted...

If guns are banned people will just commit murder with practice targets smh

You actually need a gun, or some equivalent shock, to set it off.

Edit-It occurred to me how American an explosive you need to shoot is.

Red_Frog posted...

I don't get it. How much would they have used otherwise? Or is it like, one explosion for outie and two for innie?

The 'official' version is apparently color coded https://www.scheels.com/p/tannerite-gender-reveal-boom-box/16197-GRK.html

I would note it also uses substantially less than 80lbs.

The probe also found that Puerto Rico is an island surrounded by water, big water, ocean water.

Did they find that it is part of the US? That seems to be something lost on a lot of people in the government.

It's unfeasible and too expensive due to country size and the US being car centric

That and our lawsuit culture. Every major road and rail project gets tied up in years of lawsuits.

There were also a number of pre-trial motions by the defense that were denied by the judge regarding change in venue and jury selection that have been used in other police cases to overturn convictions.

He pretty much just dropped off the face of the Earth after his failed presidential run.

There has been a lot of research into various new types of nuclear, but it isn't as PR sexy as things like solar so it doesn't tend to hit main stream news as much.

https://www.energy.gov/ne/articles/11-reasons-why-doe-all-new-nuclear

The biggest issue with nuclear, aside from all the historical baggage, is the waste problem. We already have decades of nuclear waste that nobody wants in their backyard and every time we have a plan for long term storage the government gets sued to stop it.

I'm getting my first later today. I was honestly not even expecting to be eligible for a couple more weeks and then they just opened appts up to everyone over 16.

Fair. I was thinking more in terms of laypeople, but that wouldn't necessarily apply to Spock.

Except the audience that is actually watching the joke are laypeople and even non-laypeople wouldn't get the joke if they used some made up term for it.

It is actually McCoy that asks if it is Classical music and Spock responds "Yes doctor, it would seem to be."

It does pick up the pace, but it is still a slow moving series as far as the overall story goes. It also becomes more serious as the series progresses. Early on it is similar to the original Dragon Ball while the later seasons are much more Dragon Ball Z.

I stopped reading/watching years ago and I probably won't pick it back up until the series ends.

It started out OK but man did it get strange in later seasons.

I can't think of anyone off the top of my head. Even my mom, who is one step shy of a Luddite, is on her third smartphone.

Pay the plumber that is currently trying to fix the kitchen sink.

Wasn't there a LINE to pose at the top a few years back? Like the line was so long people could have died if they waited too long from the lack of oxygen? I can't remember the specifics.

Yeah, 2019 had a line at the summit. https://www.outsideonline.com/2397164/everest-summit-traffic-jam

Ive always took it to mean its a base camp ie home as in the camp where they set off to climb Everest.

Apparently its base camp because its just a camp at the base of the mountain? Surely there are multiple base camps then?

There are only two base camps, one in Nepal and one in China. There are limited places where you can climb Everest so it isn't like you can just show up and plop a camp down anywhere you want around the mountain.

I also remember smoking sections at McDonald's

Which would be directly next to the non-smoking sections because its just one big open space.

All the trashcans and tables had ash trays on them.

They were all over when I was a kid. I remember my brother and I would always check the coin returns to see if there were any quarters for the arcade :-)
