Yeah, but to be fair, those were smallish nukes, and we only saw those go up against large bugs.

Not a net or trident in sight.

Not a fair comparison.

I genuinely think the author just put those two together because they knew everyone was expecting Harr-mione to happen. Tried to subvert expectations.

don’t lick the platters

No joke, as a teenager I temporarily considered using one as a pizza cutter but ultimately decided to use a pair of scissors just because I didn't want the shiny platter to be greasy.

I really want a thin metal disc to spin now... Maybe see if I can get it to spin with my arduino...

Smort.

I would absolutely be consulting a lawyer before actually putting that out, just to, at the very least, have someone who's a little familiar with the situation beforehand. That way if I DO get arrested, I already know a lawyer who's looked into this and already had some things ready to go.

Ahhh, curse your sudden, but inevitable betrayal!

Yeah, I had been holding on to one last one after selling the rest (I made a whopping $13 yaaaaaaaaay)

Selling that shit the moment I can get to my laptop.

Oh man...

1: RIP to Trevor.

B, I remember every time this would make the rounds, so many people would get super pissed about it and go on huge multi-paragraph rants about how unfunny it was and that it should be deleted before the FBI arrests everyone who shares it.

The jokes write themselves.

I don't know if I would call "life" a toy, but I guess everyone is different.

That would be great, but unfortunately for me I have too many programs that depend on windows, don't have Linux options, and if I'm being honest with myself I really just don't want to learn an entirely new ecosystem. I will if forced, but the moment this laptop shits itself or they discontinue support for the OS, I'm getting a crash course.

I'd love to turn an old tablet or somethinf into a Linux device in the meantime so I can at least start something. Too bad my parent's old kindles won't work, there's enough of them laying around their house...

Oh fuck yeah gimme that customization and personalization options

I used to use a program on one of my computers called rainmeter I think, and it allowed me to customize my desktop to look like the Animus menus from Assassin's creed 2. Then decided to go with hexagons everywhere, with the replacement start menu dead center screen and other buttons areayed out from there.

Haven't used it in many years, but I'd love that level of customization* on a pc nowadays. It seems like no matter where I go, every UI looks the same. Good for familiarity, not so much for "oh this is neat, they made it their own" factor.

*without learning entire programming languages, I hyperfixate on things but programming has never been something I've been able to get into

Every extreme sport is insane if you dissect it with rational thought about human frailty.

It's great!

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go strip to thin breathable cloth so I can tear along the countryside at speeds humans weren't designed to travel at, while dodging trees, bushes, occasional wildlife, roots and rocks, hoping my air filled donut bladders don't rupture and none of the welds on my metal stick give out. Once I'm done I'll cool off with a nice downhill roll, rivaling the cheetah on speed.

spoilerMountain biking.

That said... Caves are one of those places I'd love to go to one someday but it won't be relaxing for me. They can be scary as FUCK. Don't even get me started on cave diving. Those people are insane and in need of therapy.

Hey look, a company the literally bears the name of the sitting us president is openly meddling in politics of other nations.

At least his predecessors had the decency to hide it.

I don't see how anyone can take anything they do or say seriously. And I don't mean "we shouldn't think they're serious" I mean "the whole world should be laughing at them instead of listening to them and nobody should do a single thing they say"

It's like someone fave toddlers the keys to the kingdom, and nobody is treating them like the toddlers they are.
