That’s great!

I thought that’s why they made the Kessel system surrounded by black holes in the EU - the shortest distance between a bunch of gravity wells would be very dangerous and require a lot of velocity.

I was on the same road for all of my 20s. Thankfully I didn’t get involved with anyone who was emotionally abusive.

Same. The ratio at my private high school was about 1 boy to 10 girls. Had I even looked at the band girls I was ignoring despite them occasionally crushing on me, I could have gotten laid more than I am currently in a marriage where both partners still have a sex drive. One girl even dumped her boyfriend to go out…

I think its probably a good indicator of empathy if they are willing to do it. Anything to weed out the narcissists is fair game.

I love this blog and this post in particular.

Glad to see Congress is hard at work keeping democracy safe.

We still use JCL and Cobol at the company I work for, which is a $15 billion one and the world leader in its industry.

His whole family is probably dead because of that, all of his pets are definitely dead.

Props to the old people showings. Personally I prefer the 10am closed caption viewing the Saturday after one of these opens. The captions scare most people away, so its rarely more than 30% full on opening weekend. I’m willing to deal with it if my wife and I get an entire half-row to ourselves.

That’s because good comedy requires empathy - the comedian needs to be able to connect to their audience, which is best done when looking at the joke from their perspective. Alex Jones completely lacks empathy, so this failure to land a joke makes total sense.

In the movie, he’s talking trash while taking his shirt off for a fight, but isn’t using homophobic slurs to do it. The other dude he’s fighting is also shirtless, just without the body mod spikes. The fight is in a pool above a waterfall, so they glisten at one point.

On our third date, my wife roasted a chicken. She cooked some bacon, chopped it up and put it under the skin. She then took the bacon grease, butter, sage, and garlic paste and made it into a compound butter that she injected into the bird. She then took potatoes, red peppers, and whole garlic cloves and roasted them,…

I had no idea my work laptop supported it until I tried to wipe a smudge off the screen. I usually use it closed with external monitors, and I’m a programmer so touch is of limited use to me, as the trackpad is way closer to the keys for scrolling/clicking on things.

If you want tools, I can’t recommend Harbor Freight enough. Its just tools, and tool adjacent products. No blinds, no doors, no paint, no lumber. Just drill bits, wrenches, power tools, work lights, compressors, ladders, extension cords, I could just keep going.

I was at an airport gate in one of the Chicago airports and there was a hunk of cured meat just sitting there on the window sill. I spent 10 minutes trying to guess what kind it was.

I’ll die happy eating Piggy Butter ‘n Jelly the rest of my life. I’ll also die of multiple heart attacks (4 at once most likely), but that’s not the point.

If there is anything that fictional universe needs, its more people shooting arrows.

I don’t use any such pleasantries at work. I’d rather everyone think I hate them just a bit (because I do, at least a little, and I enjoy that kind of honesty). Also its a massive multi-national company, so its just better for me to avoid anything remotely personal, even if its surface bullshit.

It would work with commercially bought stuff (like workout gear), but stuff dyed yourself (or dyed cheaply from a questionable manufacturer) would most likely damage the dye job and potentially make it run when washed, affecting other clothes in the load. Custom dyed fabric is used very regularly in costuming, so its…
