Ok, so it’s not just me that didn’t see the appeal of that channel. So many people seem to be raving about it. I mean he doesn’t seem like a bad guy, and it seems like it should be right up my alley by all the keywords, but man the content is... meh. And yes, that smug face.

Also, his theories are usually pretty lazy, uninteresting, and riddled with inaccuracies in order to contrive his theory.

This movie is my favorite story of how adopting a stray dog can change your life.

But what does Amouranth think about all this?!

And the friends we made along the way were the Thing.

Was hoping he’d mention The Computer Who Wore Tennis Shoes.

Now that’s Clobberin’ Time!

For me its always been the drink MacReady offers him. No way Child’s would take the drink if he were human and suspicious. MacReady has a little chuckle after Child’s takes a sip. He now knows...

The Thing was the friends we made along the way.

To be fair, MatPat has made a career out of plastering his smug, extra-punchable face in every video. So ignoring him seems like the best kind of way to honor his retirement.

You’re not sure why a gaming website would report on the retirement of a high profile gaming streamer?

To be fair, I still had to read the part you quoted 3 times before I saw the typo myself.

Because Ms. Swift knows how to mobilize and weaponize her fan base. If she were to say, “Hey, guys, I’m done with Twitter and I’m deleting my account; see you on Insta!” there is a non-zero chance Melon would lose 10m+ accounts in a week. Possibly more. Her Swifties are as rabid as they are loyal, and when roused they…

Thank you for taking the time to explain—it was hard to look at these slides, recall the sad incidences of damage amongst smiling crew photos but important to remember them and learn the truth. If they were denied re-entry because Mission commanders understood the engineer’s concerns and took that damage seriously,…

The brutal reality of it is that, based on what was available at the time, there was no chance of rescuing them. There was no means to repair the damage (and frankly, even the repair kits developed later would not have been sufficient to repair the damage Columbia sustained). The CAIB ultimately found that the only…

The CAIB considered a number of possibilities in its report, including the launch of Atlantis on a rescue mission. Atlantis was slated to launch on March 1, so expediting the launch, along with adding equipment for EVAs, might have been feasible. Certainly, with human lives at stake, an attempt—no matter how…

I remember waking up and hearing the words “falling debris over Texas” on the clock radio and immediately somehow intuiting exactly what had happened.  To this day I have no idea how my still-sleepy brain so instantly figured out “the fucking Shuttle broke up,” but it did.

It was audible in Dallas, where we lived at the time. :( I was in the shower, but my wife heard it. (Technically it wasn’t the explosion, but clustered sonic booms from the debris.)

They did start carrying repair kits after that. But at that time, the only option would be an emergency launch of a different shuttle. (And even with minimal crew, they would be 2 seats short.) It also happened to be one of the last few missions that did not go to the space station, which ruled out that safety net. (An…

i remember it to this day. i can’t look at pictures, it’s too heartbreaking. it was one of those generational “you know where you were when” situations. Like 9/11. I can’t look at pix of that, either.
