But they did have the engine idling.

A more interesting game would have been a simulation of the test that resulted in the meltdown. Given the same starting conditions and test procedure, you need to perform the test without the reactor shutting down or melting down. If it melts down you die and if it shuts down you get fired and go stand in a soviet…

This is true about many things. Also see:

1. Good sushi has the proper amount of wasabi on it and you don’t need to add more.

Most people who don’t like IPA usually mention the intense pine/resin/citrus flavor as the point of contention, not the bitterness. Bitterness is present in all beer, as Kate mentioned, and is important to balance malty sweetness. In fact you’ll find that many strong styles (barleywine, imperial stout to name a…

I’m always excited to see a 60/70 schilling ale on a brewery’s menu. Wee Heavy can get syrupy sweet or overly boozy, but the smaller Scottish ales are just perfect.

A few years ago I worked construction on Schluter’s office building in Plattsburgh. Never expected to hear them mentioned in an article about video games.

I use an addon for Firefox called stylus along with a style specifically for GMG sites the removes the infinite scroll. It also removes the side stuff and centers the articles like they should be. It occasionally results in some weird effects (such as refreshing a page gives you a different article every time) but I’d…

You don’t need RO to remove chlorine from tap water. Anything with activated charcoal such as a Brita or cheap under-sink solution will do it.

This seems like a social construct made up by extroverts to punish introverts for not being outgoing enough.

This is why Carmax, Carvana, and even a lot of brand dealerships are sticking to their advertised price. There is a cultural shift away from haggling in the US and dealers are adjusting to it.

Individually I completely hate the elements of this car: the excessive creases, the tiny greenhouse, the enormous wheels, the massive rear fender flares, and that god-awful predator grill. But every time I see it on the road I can’t take my eyes off it. This green and brown color scheme shouldn’t work either, but…

Lonestar and Barf unavailable for comment.

I would buy a Shaq-sized pita loaded with pizza toppings.

Keep in mind that the map is generated based on average brightness across a county, so a large rural county with one brightly lit town won’t show as “pristine” despite most of the county being totally dark.

But mimes don’t speak!

My first job was cashier at a gas station where I had to make change in my head. Once the owner walked me through it the process became very simple. Start from the total and count up to whatever you are given, beginning with smaller denominations. So if the total is 5.31 and someone hands you a 10 dollar bill, you…

It was meant to be hyperbole but now I’m bored and feel like doubling down.

I was hoping for a James May-esque obscure metric like “my shift knob diameter is larger than yours.”

Lotuses are too small to stand out in crowds. You could easily hide one behind a Mazda 3, Civic, or the rear wheel of a Lambo.
