Everybody says their job is the hardest. And frankly, with teachers I can think of a lot of good justifications for it:

Deal with screaming assholes every day (who doesn't but I mean like 20-30 of them to 1 of you).
Deal with... you know, actually, that pretty much summarizes all the justificstions I came up with. Nobody wants to be there, toublemaking, defiance, violence, class clowns trying to distract everyone...

he software and hardware are never built by the same company.

Are you sure? I always thought Android was kind of like Linux, where there's a vanilla version but then you customize it however you want, including (in this case) the particular controls and settings your device has/needs.

Then of course I would expect the hardware to be either custom built or selected specifically for that exact specification.

Anyway, none of this matters if an iphone is $1000.

I can deal with a little poor optimization.

While I do love the Superman theme, Robocop theme comes pretty damn close of how epic it is.


Robocop score was acually done by the same guy as the Hunt for Red October score, which makes perfect sense when you think about it, but I would have never guessed until I learned it by coincidence.

Anyway, my favorite film theme is--by a long shot--Ecstasy of Gold, from the Good the Bad and the Ugly. Robocop, Star Wars, Hunt for Red October, Lord of the Rings and Kung Fu Hustle (of all things) are runners up for sure though.

This. I buy Haribo gummies specifically because I like them being really chewy.

Gummies aren't meant to be bitten in half. If your baby teeth want something softer and easier, you should probably take a step down to fruit snacks.

Funny you mention that, I actually do have two baby teeth still. For whatever reason, there's no permanent tooth to replace them.

Fun fact: coca also means cocaine


Touche

smh man what the fuck were they thinking when they named a soda "coca-cola"

like, "coca-cola"? one's first thought is, "isn't coca short for something? COCAINE COLA?" smh


Because originally, cocaine was the active stimulant in coca cola until it was outlawed and was switched to caffeine.

Actually, it originally used both. Even today they still use the Coca leaf, but only after treatment to remove the cocaine. The cocaine is sold for pharmaceutical purposes. Apparently only one business in the country can import and process coca leaves and only one can purchase and process the cocaine.


Interesting...

I knew it used to be brewed with coca leaves, but didn't know they were still doing it.

#themoreyouknow #rainbowswipe

Basically that's why there hasn't been a true copycat for this brand.

Might be part of it but also even something as abstract as flavors can be copyrighted. It's why different brands of the same product will always taste at least a little different. Even store brands that are produced by big names. For example, Publix potato chips are made by Golden Flake but they don't really tase any more similar than GF and Lay's.

Black forest gummies >all.

Mrs. DevsBro is also a Black Forest fan. I like these little mini gummy bears from this candy shop a few towns over. They have totally different flavors from the standard ones. They don't make them, but they're smart enough to buy in bulk and put them in those unmarked tubs so I can't find the brand name and circumvent them in my acquisition.

There seem to be several brands that sell mini gummy bears online so I don't know which is the good one.

Almost 1 year later and people still can't grasp a hybrid console, it's mind-boggling. It's really not that complicated.

In fairness I actually don't know much about it myself. I know what the word hybrid means but I just see people using it as a handheld. Presumably, you can connect it to a TV too I guess. That might make it a hybrid.

It's kind of a general thing, like you might ask someone if they want to go grab a burger when you mean some kind of simple casual meal, and they might accept even if they want a chicken sandwich because you can often order both those things at the same place.

"You want to go grab a coke?"
"Sure, let's go to the Chevron station. They have Dr. Pepper Cherry."
"Cool."

But obviously if you're at the drivethru and the customer says they want a coke, I mean, what kind of idiot would answer "what kind of drink" with "durr a drink"?

Tips for a successful date:

1. Plan to go to Texas Roadhouse. Plan to pick her up at 8.
2. Arrive at her place at exactly 8pm, not a min late not a min early.
3. Try not to studder when you introduce yourself.
4. Stick out your hand for a hand shake, when your hands connect bow your head to her as if you are giving a nod of respect.
5. Try to think of something to say on your way to Texas Roadhouse. Hopefully Texas Roadhouse is close by.
6. Inside the restaurant when you get seated, order some alcohol. Mention your age (she will like this fact) and if she wants you can buy her a drink. Hope you don't get in trouble for that one.
7. Talk about how your moms set up the date.
8. Get a picture of the two of you. If she declines, get a picture of yourself holding your id.
9. This is the part where things can take a turn for the worst. Try to think of something to say. If your mind feels paused, try asking her if she likes...

a) working out
b) video games
c) daggers

10. Whatever you do, don't have a panic attack at this point. It's a rookie mistake. If you do, say you got lightheaded from the spicy food.

yeah that's true

some of the early 3D games actually feel more retro to me than late 16-bit games since I feel that later pixel based games, especially on SNES/Genesis with their ability to scale and rotate sprites easily, aged better than early polygonal ones

Also true. PS1's 2D games still look great and play great because 2D graphics fell out of popularity shortly thereafter (except of handhelds which were a step back technologically anyway) but the 3D games look terrible and some of then play terribly too because that gen was the Atari 2600 of the 3d era.

They could totally go Inspector Gadget style, where Mega Man spends the whole film trying to get past the Yoku blocks with increasingly complex gizmos while Roll and Rush sneak ahead and defeat Wily. Then Mega Man walks in just as the Wily capsule is about to explode and then it does and he's like "wow tight budget this time, huh Wily?"
