Damn, I have a 1070 I almost never use for gaming, it probably sees about 2-3 hours of Civ a month on average for the past couple of years, I would love to toss that up there and buy a new recliner or maybe a dishwasher with the money, but for whatever reason the shitty integrated graphics on my 6700K and my PC3200…

I completely agree, but that’s the rub: they’re cowards. Enemy combatants fire back, they plant IEDs, etc., etc. Why not just stay home where it’s nice and comfortable and pick on people who can’t fight back without the full weight of the state collapsing in on them like a dying star instead? It’s eerily similar to…

Honestly, factoring in current population density, population growth trajectory and the percentage of territory barely above sea level, I don’t see how Bangladesh’s situation alone doesn’t ultimately result in something approaching 100M people having to relocate, and capacity of the states in that neighborhood (or…

A pig used that one me a few years back; tellingly, it wasn’t even out, he was a dolt with the eyesight of a mole, who apparently expected kliegs for plate lights. They can just make up whatever shit they want and they know it. The judges and ADAs who work with these jackasses have to see them every day, it’s the same…

I tend to use Further with 2C-T-7 or mushrooms, personally...

Having just watched a documentary on the Kaprun disaster last night, I wanted to add that this tunnel looks super safe and not at all dangerously constricted, with ample provisions for passenger escape in the event of a horrifying fire. Which I’m sure would never happen to a Tesla in the first place anyway, given the…

Not if that new car is a Nissan and the five-year-old car is a Toyota, Honda, Subaru, Mazda or Hyundai.

That’s not even the whole of it, because there have been Warhammer appearances/crossovers in non-related games as well; e.g., there was a recent Warhammer event in World of Warships, which spawned at least two new battleships and two captains which remain playable now.

Virtually every public payphone I remember from growing up in the Upper Midwest in the 80s and 90s worked fine; hell, I distinctly remember having to use one at a local college campus in 2010 when I was working for the Census and needed to participate in some inane supervisor call, and the undergrads walking by all loo…

Wrong! My very first car was an ‘84 Camaro with an Iron Duke, and even with four on the floor that thing basically needed to fall off a cliff in order to build up enough speed to pass a schoolbus on pretty much any two-lane road.  Like, I used a sundial for 0-60 times. GM never made an F-body worse than that shit…

Is there any chance he designed the current Silverado under an assumed name?  

He explains that in the 1700s, a young blacksmith melted horseshoes to create the first iron plow

Brother, don’t even get me started on that one, I have gone so far as to write Tagliabue bitching about the exclusivity deal (and then Goodell’s office when it was up for the renewal). Hell, I actually wrote to Arlen Specter when he chaired the Senate’s antritrust subcommittee to denounce the arrangement, no one ever…

I guess one could also marvel at ill-conceived or incompetent engineering too, though, like the Tacoma Narrows Bridge or the Vasa, or of course this thing...

The reason why their language has a million words for it is because lying has been a part of their ancient lifestyle since April 1, 33 AD,

I worked as a warehouse picker for three months the summer between graduating high school and my freshman year of college. They stocked for a handful of fast food chains, but the dominant one, as I recall, was KFC; basically every order involved starting by loading two pallets on a twin jack with a comically large…

The chip shortage is so bad people are stealing 8086s now.  

Don’t forget stupid! American law enforcement is the only profession in the history of the world so far as I know to be involved in a court decision involving discrimination against a job applicant for being too intelligent.

Pythagoras would have hated you.  

When I moved to far northern Wisconsin as a preschooler in 1980, there were virtually no wolves; indeed, the species had been completely extirpated no later than 1960, and had to be reintroduced from Minnesota in 1975. Given that the Great Lakes region is basically the wolf equivalent of Shangri-la, this seems weird,…
