I’ve basically only been seeing the “blowing bubba” meme stuff, but I expect that we will at least get more evidence that Trump got handjobs from women that could not legally consent and were coerced into those acts. There’s long been testimony to that effect.
I hope it torPEDOes this whole Presidency, but I’m a bit tipsy just now.

Aw. Quesaritos are my favorite thing. I might never eat at a Taco Bell again.

Sorry, you got “sniped”; I’ve already given away my 3, and I won’t get more until the new year.
Maybe you can score one from someone else?

Same here on both counts.
First 3 replies to this post asking for a guest pass will get one from me. It’s a free month of viewing anything through Nebula. (I recommend “The Prince” and “Lynchpins”.)

I do believe she eventually grows to the age of consent, but I could be wrong.
Of course, I was saying “only female” is Sassette erasure. I was not saying “only mating prospect” is Sassette erasure.
I was just remembering her from my childhood. I wasn’t up on my Sassette lore. I found a reference that says she was created the same way Smurfette was, which surprised me.

Not usually an issue for me. My heartburn trigger used to be acids (e.g. pizza sauce) too close to bed, but after I lost some weight, I basically don’t get heartburn anymore.
That said, I very much avoid anything with much hot spice. Anything that I think might burn on the way out doesn’t make it in.

I think you are supposed to have a couple of vegetable sides to go with a meat+cheese+pasta lasagna.
(But, sure, lasagna is a pretty flexible term, you could make one where an appropriately sized portion is a complete, balanced meal.)

I thought I wasn’t going to like the combat of XIII, but I ended up really quite enjoying it most of the time. I thought the support roles AI was quite good, and eventually I figured out a rhythm of switching roles that felt really good.
But, I probably should go back and play some of the 7-9, maybe even X again. I picked up 2, 3, and 5 (and the portable Nintendo consoles to play them) and never made the time to play them.
I know some are on Steam, but I’m on Linux and I don’t know how well the Proton/SteamPlay works with them. (Plus, I need to finish up Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 before I buy yet another JRPG.)

Final Fantasy X. Hands down the best entry of the franchise (fight me)
I never finished X, it felt like it was dragging on and there were too many unskippable scenes.
I actually preferred XIII, which I nearly 100%'d (I think I was one or 2 combats away from 100%) and even XIII-2 which I enjoyed, tho I thought the “post-game” was too heavy with loading screens. I never played XIII-3 (Lightning Returns).
In any case, FF VI is actually the best entry in the franchise. I know that because I played and beat it as a child. (/s)
(I was really hoping FF XV [?; road trip with the boy band] would be good, but I played about 10 hours and had nothing good to say about it.)

R-Type Final – more than 100 fighters to unlock across a branching campaign, including at least one secret stage.
I was a little disappointed with R-Type Final 2, but I might need to just play more.

There are some games I can’t “git gud” at but I enjoy seeing the gameplay, so I watch edited playthroughs.
I don’t watch streams much, for a multitude of reasons.

I go with a ponytail, and haven’t had even a trim in 2 years.
If I had my preference I’d go in about once every few months to have more vivid hair dye applied, and get a trim then.

Yeah, there are certainly ways of preparing eggs that aren’t allowed in 24-hour diners (no line cook is doing “Scotched” egg next to your bacon), but poached or boiled are both allowed most places, on top of the normal fried options (sunny-side, over-easy, over-medium, over-hard) and scrambled.

The increased mass increases the force of gravity on the outer particles which ends up reducing the radius more than the increase due to the layer of new hydrogen, IIRC.

Wow! Between BG3, CO:E33, and Slik Song, all the AAA lies are falling away. They don’t have to cost the user an arm and a leg, they can be beautiful works of art and love from small(ish) teams, and they can be an experience that is so rich in player choice it’s practically unique and highly replayable.
- Comment on Stardew Valley will be getting another update after all 2 months ago:
~40M copies, ~8B ppl, so ownership rates are about 2.5%.
You might meet one of the lucky 10k that learn about Stardew Valley today, and you can enable them with a gift purchase.
- Comment on Stardew Valley will be getting another update after all 2 months ago:
My solution for this feeling is to gift copies to others. I figure that worst case I support ConcenedApe and best case I help spark more Stardew joy.
(Right now, I’m between jobs, so I can’t buy for you, other readers.)
- Comment on It is. Just accept it 2 months ago:
Often people wait too long before starting to defrost their holiday turkey, which can take many days. (I’ve heard something like 2 days/kg [24hours/lb], but never done it myself) Inexperienced cooks will then try to “save time” in the oven by increasing the ambient heat, ruining the food.
Either that or it’s some confusing analogy with climate change that I don’t “get”.

Sorry, maybe I was ambiguous. The violent/revolutionary approaches would be to achieve some sort of climate recovery, which might obviate needing an “exit plan”.
- Comment on Just a reminder that our planet is currently the coolest it will ever be in our, and our children's lifetimes. 3 months ago:
Yeah, we not only have to reach net-0, which is a pipe dream with the current leadership / collective will, but we’ll need to figure out some method of carbon capture that can actually be net-negative AND deploy it on scales far beyond any sort of “carbon capture” that has been planned, whether their number were sane or just hype to get some of the “pork barrel spending”.
I suggest making sure you have an “exit plan” for when it get worse than you’d like, which I expect to be in my lifetime. There are more violent, revolutionary, or both approaches, but I won’t mention them explicitly.
Even if we replaced all energy production “magically” with solar/wind/tidal, we’ll still have to keep extracting oil to make plastic!

I’ve seen auto-calculated tip of all combinations of with/without tax, with/without percent discount, and with/without individual item discounts.
I wish tipping would end, by mandating a living wage for all workers from the chef to the diskwasher and including all the waitstaff and everyone else in both the front and the back. But, until it does, I try to be generous with my tips, but also kind to people that can’t or are simply tired of “tipflation”.
