In Idiocracy the president hired the world’s smartest man to successfully solve an existential problem.

We’re in a significantly worse situation.

I’ve used this exact line talking to some Arsenal fans here in the states and it actually worked.

Because the infamous 2 girls 1 cup video is just a trailer. It was always meant to be free.

This is a game made for CRT/OLED monitors, too. Gotta have those perfect blacks for maximum horror. Amazing how good this game looks and sounds for being the age it is.

You don’t have to outrun any bears. That’s the entire point of the metaphor.

You said there’s no point. I contend there is a point.

The point is to make it slightly less convenient to steal from. This is the purpose of literally all locks. There are no locks that can’t be picked or bypassed. I don’t care if it’s my underwear, pants, shirts, shoes, whatever. They’re mine and I packed them because I want to use them. I’d prefer they’re not stolen, and some of my clothes are valuable, or at least I don’t want to spend the money to replace them.

Maybe someone’s just having a shit day and wants to fuck with luggage to be obnoxious. I’d rather it not be mine, and a lock makes my bag slightly more annoying to fuck with.

Agreed that a lost bag is much more likely than theft. I have an AirTag in my bag to help with that scenario.

There is a point: make your bag slightly less attractive to steal from. You don’t have to outrun the bear, you just have to outrun someone else.

Thank you for being the someone else.

Likewise with Brussels sprouts

Bills weigh 1g, and 1g of gold is >$100, so I’m going with gold.

Turns out there are stupid questions.

Why does the building start melting near the ground floor?

I think this is a fine strategy for maintaining your weight. However, temporary periods of caloric restriction or surplus is a good strategy for losing or gaining weight. Going on a 500kcal deficit to lose a pound a week is pretty reasonable. Pretty easy to adjust from your maintenance diet by just eliminating a few snacks, cutting down carb portions, or switching some things to low fat versions.

Considering how long AV1 adoption has taken, you probably have a decade before you need to worry about needing AV2 support.

2” in the standard, sometimes you can get 3” recline in economy+ seats.

Yeah, 6’3” and 1/2” with bare feet, standing up straight.

I’m 6’3” or 1.9m tall. I fly monthly for work. Putting the seat back has little effect on leg room because the pivot point is just below your knee level. It steals a bit of room going straight forward from your head/shoulders but you can reclaim this lost 2” by also reclining your seat.

If you’re kicking seats rather than reclining your own to get back to the same exact space as non-reclined just at a slightly more comfortable angle, you’re the asshole.

One must simply create Schrödinger’s fuse box.

Wouldn’t an electrical failure of a fuse mean it didn’t pop at the rated current/voltage? I think some testing of the warranty terms is in order.

Obviously some goes out laterally, but next to the ground is where the lowest flux of shrapnel will be.

1. easily will break glass, they’re heavy, dense, and hard

2. hit the deck, the explosion will be up and out

3. shrapnel is how fragmentation grenades kill, not the overpressure wave
