"Hookwoorms, get in my feet please!"

Understood. Don't do anything apart from stop him entering the room.

Wild picture, that reminds me, did you know that in 1998, The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through a Torpolev Tu-95?

Nope. At that point, you're new money with no way to sustain it. You're part of The Poors but with the added step of funneling that money into "better, more capable" hands, and a poor investment for a pardon.

Catapult vs trebuchet. The extra rotation point makes a world of difference.

Agree that the benefits dont quite outweigh the space issue though.

I bought a dab rig online the other day and was momentarily stunned to see a "NOT FOR TOBACCO USE, USE WITH NICOTENE EXTRACTS..." etc. I literally had to read it twice to make sure I read correctly. Well, well, well, how the turntables....

As far as I know, everyone who has been cryogenically frozen and thawed out has had to have their soup-ified remains be scraped out of the vat into a barrel. I cannot imagine voluntarily paying to sign my child up for that fate.

I'm sorry, 3000 reviews with a 5-star average just isn't as convincing as 1000 reviews with a 4.6-star average. Brakktor the Unforgiving just seems like a better fit

I think they mean that back then, elaborate marketing campaigns (yes, for money) were a bit more commonplace, while today, the fun veneer over the greed has worn thin and most companies scrape by with the widest but shallowest marketing strategies that are even more transparent in their greed. We all know companies want our money, so any time we forget that momentarily is kind of like suspension of disbelief when watching a movie. The bar for the suspension of disbelief in corporate greed is simply getting lower. They realized they don't need to try that hard to still make money hand over fist. Doing this again would be pretty expensive. You know what's cheaper? Slapping some canned images and animations over existing logos and stuff.

It seems stupid to be annoyed by the fact that the ever-hungry jaws of capitalism "aren't as fun as they used to be" but i think it's getting upset over the fact that companies think they don't even need to disguise their avarice to get away with it. And to a growing extent, they're right. The showmanship being romanticized was meant to dazzle and distract the masses from the uglier parts of business, but now we just accept them instead. There is no shame in greed, no reason to hide malice when it's an accepted tool of your trade.

This. I was sure I had mine completely clean 3 times and was pretty resigned to wireless charging only before a hardened sliver of detritus dropped out. Back to working like new.

It just occurred to me (on the can, i might add) that with the various states of matter all being driven by pressure, it might have necessary characteristics to be classified as one.

On a side note, I wonder what pressure the intestinal tract is rated for. I have a certain potato-based experiment I'd be interested to know the outcome of.

Slowly but surely, one piece at a time. I can finally play my 50+ LP collection without damaging the crap out of it, feels good
