When I was little, I read the original version of this comic, then asked my dad "how do they actually know the limits, though?"

His answer was "math, basically."

Usually it stands for "the animated series."

I've been curious about this recently after seeing all the reviews for MindsEye. I'd never heard of it until a few days ago, yet all the reviewers I pay attention to are talking about how it's the worst game ever, while the footage they show makes it look fine. I haven't played it, so I can't disagree with them, but the vitriol for something that appears to be completely average is surprising.

I was refraining from posting this, so I'm very glad someone else did. Back when we were masked up, I always appreciated the Maryland flag masks the most and made sure to compliment their wearers.

It has existed on every Pixel I've ever owned under the label "Hotspot." This includes the one I'm using to write this comment.

Thank you for your assistance.

This is especially true with xkcd.

To be fair, I am shocked... Not to see a Pikachu face in the comments.

It's good they labeled the duck.

Perhaps an amalgam.

 

They almost blend together.

 
 
 

Pretty much the title. It's really weird to scratch my chin and not run my fingers through hair. As a plus, my five year old keeps telling me "you look like a completely different person. But I still know you're my daddy!"

 

Newbie was a rescue from a dog fighting house. According to the shelter from which we got her, they couldn't get her to fight, so they used her for breeding. For her entire life with us, she had scars from where they tied her down for breeding... But despite coming from the most abusive background imaginable, she was the absolute sweetest dog. She was in my life for about a decade and, other than in her sleep, I never once heard her make an aggressive sound.

Unfortunately, she died a few years ago from a failing pancreas. She's the only dog I ever had to choose to let die. I wish she were still here.

edit: She was really stinky, though.

Them: Knock knock!
Me: Who's there?
Them: Boo!
Me: Boo who?
Them: Boo! I'm a ghost!

 

A while ago, Maze hurt her ear. Since then we've been giving her all kinds of medication. Obviously things aren't pristine, but she's doing way better and her wheezing has nearly disappeared!

 
 

My wife pronounces it three different ways, each of which she can support. I pronounce it one, but other than that it's the way I've heard it I can't support my pronunciation even after some searches. What's yours and why?

 

Last week, I made a post about a demon in my backyard at 4am.

For anyone curious, this is how it disguises its form during daylight. Pretty convincing and a lot less unsettling.

 

Jokes aside, I remember the PoM song being titled "She Fucking Hates Me," but according to Wikipedia it wasn't part of the title, just the lyrics.

I guess it actually was more mild than I remembered.

edit: Add a word.

 

My 5-year-old has set up a selection of large rocks on the railing of my back porch, which my kitchen faces.

In the kitchen, there is a small TV with a red status LED, which due to the window construction reflects twice.

As I naively walked into my kitchen, the only person in my house awake in the early morning, the rocks and lights lined up in an alarming way. I got quite a start.

(I know the picture isn't great quality ... I think the phone camera didn't want to focus on reflections. Also I zoomed in to hide my kitchen clutter.)

edit: Clarifications.
