As an American who is uncommonly good at math (I have graduate degrees that say as much) I’m compelled to ponder how 1/3 and 3/9 are not identical as formal fractions and are simply representatives of the same coset modulo the a/b ~ c/d IFF ad-bc=0; b, d ≠ 0 relation.

I still like the original ending and think it’s a lot better than the Extended Cut.

I’m really unclear on why a collaborative storytelling project needs a financial barrier to enter (with absolutely no other qualifications considered) to begin with.

As someone who is so allergic to shellfish even setting foot in a Red Lobster is a bad idea this is still fascinating as purely a thought experiment.

The reason you police the things for blemishes is you want to rule out people “juicing” their pumpkins by injecting something that adds weight, right?

Honestly, I don’t know.  Tomorrow’s my birthday so I’m willing to take suggestions.

“what we don’t understand are the death threats”

Like if you want your ribeyes to be 2" thick, go to a real butcher and they can cut them that thickness for you. The tomahawk is just that way because the depth of the steak is dictated by the width of the bone.

I grew up in a place where you could just go outside and hear loons calling in the summer, so I never really associated the loon call with anything melancholy or more profound than “outdoors near some lakes.”

My first thought was “I would have thought Republicans believed in the sanctity of private property” but then I realized that Republicans don’t believe that children have rights between birth and adulthood.

If they want to double down on their wins, they should also ban everybody who complains about Steam not welcoming Crypto and NFTs on their platform.

When you order the tomahawk steak (an unusually thick ribeye marked up about 100% *at the butcher* because it involves less butchering) with about $5 worth of edible gold leaf on it, marked up to a thousand bucks or whatever then I’m pretty concerned about your decisionmaking before we even get to the wine.

It’s remarkable to me that Domino’s Test Kitchen apparently is not aware of the magic of sodium citrate for emulsifying cheeses.

Watch any season of Top Chef, and you could probably find someone who could do Flay’s job once they got pretty good at being on camera. But people who could do Fieri’s job of genuine excitement and interest with strange charisma on top of it are going to be hard to find. I mean, they’ve been doing how many seasons of…

The worst offenders have to be the little ultra-dense nugget of peanut brittle that lodges itself in your molars when you eat a Butterfinger or Zagnut.

I’m willing to bet that Domino’s Corporate Development Kitchens has access to sodium citrate.

So if I haven’t played a Metroid other than Super and the OG one, is this a good or bad one to jump back into the franchise with? I never had a Gameboy (or Advance), GameCube, Wii-U, or 3DS so I missed a lot of these games but I do have a Switch.

Isn’t the solution to create a burner twitter/tiktok account to post the video?  Presumably the people selecting the prizes are just going to look at the hashtag (and no one else will).

I wonder if the calculus internally is that the formula is going to wear its welcome out most rapidly when you’re dealing with people who are going to play every one. When you have people who just stick to one of the franchises (I mean, I’ve played a lot of Assassins Creed, but never a Far Cry or a Tom Clancy) or you…

The one true halloween cocktail is the Corpse Reviver No. 2, but if you’re not going to spring for Lillet, then just make a bloody mary.  I don’t even want to know what “Swamp Water” is.
