Just trying to hit all the prerequisites for a GOP nomination.

The door to the tiny WC stays closed, but the rest of my bathroom (sink/tub/shower) doesn’t even have a door.

Nobody expects the Spanish Disaffirmation!

TIL it was renewed for a season 2.

I have a not-that-old work laptop with a single usb-c charge port (for the dock) and the connection sucks. Thankfully that one also has a barrel jack for power.

I hate that my new one is usb-c only. I’m moving between locations often enough that long-term durability is a concern having to plug/unplug that one all the time. I’d much rather it was an extra few mm thicker and have a charge port I’ll never have to worry about.

Solid stainless steel at that weight would be roughly 17 cm per side (assuming a cube), depending on the exact alloy.

There’s no perfect reference scale, but the diagonal width of the cube is 60% the width of the drawer (by pixels). My kitchen drawer measures 40.5 cm, so the cube is some 24.5 cm across diagonally. A 17 cm cube would be just over 24 cm. I did a lot of rounding at every step, but it seems to check out pretty darn well.

Successful psychopaths are very good at imitating normal emotional responses, which they learn over decades of observing normal people. But when facing a novel situation, they have no such learning to rely on, and their jarringly cold responses reveal their hollow interiors.

It’s insidious.

Property records, in particular, are public. In any luxury area, there are probably homes owned by celebrities that are registered to some LLC.

Have you ever magnetically levitated a cow? If not, then however magnetic they are, it’s less magnetic than frogs.

She’s hot, but there’s just too much pressure to make it work.

Citation? All I can find is that they ended mandates in April 2021, but nothing about a ban.

This article should be Exhibit A in any class on “correlation does not imply causation.”

1. Gambling was made more accessible in the US because of a SCOTUS case in 2018. Starting later that year, Delaware became the 2nd state to allow sports betting (after Nevada). The list of states allowing access to online sports betting keeps growing, with Missouri the latest to join less than 3 months ago. 39 states now have gambling in some form, with 7 more considering legislation in the next year or two.

2. Gaming revenue took off in 2020-2021 because more people were spending all day at home. It has since flattened, or slightly declined as a) pandemic-era games that were written and designed in those tough circumstances turned out poorly. b) gaming company execs thought the gravy train would never end, so set projections too high. c) acquisitions and mergers due to a combination of a) and b) meant massive layoffs and low-effort slop. d) VCs bought up the shells of former successes and accelerated c). Oh look:

These two things have nothing to do with one another, besides coincidentally happening at roughly the same time.

Wreckfest 2 is in early access, if that counts as upcoming. Same developer as Flatout 2, so it should feel similar, just more modern.

Wait until you see the page that redacted the word “don’t”. As in, “Don T.” Why would that be a term they targeted??

Remember a few years back when all new companies were just normal words with (all/most of) the vowels removed?

It’s all fads. Creativity requires more risk than the current environment is willing to accept. So you just do whatever everyone else is doing and call it revolutionary anyway.
