We talking, like, O Brother, Where Art Thou? being based on Homer’s Odyssey?
- Comment on Ubisoft ‘ends game development’ at Tom Clancy studio, Red Storm, resulting in 105 job losses | VGC 2 days ago:
I guess they weren’t even working on those games anymore:
However, while Red Storm is best known for its association with Tom Clancy games, for the past decade, it’s been focused on VR games, such as Werewolves Within (2016), Star Trek: Bridge Crew (2017), and Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR (2023).
Modern stewardship of Tom Clancy titles has been handled by Massive Entertainment (The Division), Ubisoft Montreal (Rainbow Six Siege), Ubisoft Paris (Ghost Recon Wildlands), and Ubisoft Toronto (Splinter Cell remake).

I think a friend from middle school worked there; not sure if he’s still there, though
- Comment on Do most comedians invite heclers to their shows? And they go over the bit so it seems sporadic? And get them more views or clicks or whatever? Kind of like a magician does with a plant? 2 days ago:
Adding to this, if someone gets a reputation for sparring with hecklers, more hecklers are likely to show up and take their shot. Releasing videos of yourself taking on hecklers is probably going to encourage them.

I remember seeing a stunningly beautiful woman at the grocery store, and I looked in my cart and saw lactose-free milk, lactose-free probiotic yogurt, and ultra-soothing toilet paper.

- Comment on How come in American classrooms they make another language an elective. Why not teach our kids as many languages possible that way if we go somewhere we will kind of have uper hand? 3 weeks ago:
I know it varies from state to state, but where I’ve lived it’s an “elective” in that you got to pick which language to take of the available options (some schools might only have two choices, others four or even five), but taking a certain number of foreign language credits was required for graduation. If you wanted to go beyond the minimum and had room in your schedule you could.

They are, normally a driver’s license. This doesn’t seem to have much connection to reality. Most places have a policy that if you look under 30 they ask for your ID. Unless the ID looks fake that’s all they do.

- Comment on Is history about to repeat itself? 1 month ago:
No, this year’s storm hit on a weekend, and didn’t really get going in Raleigh until nighttime. Most people stayed home. That year’s storm arrived pretty much as forecast but a lot of people ignored the forecast because a storm forecast a couple weeks earlier had fizzled out. It was around lunchtime on a weekday and everyone thought they could still stay at work and drive home and it wouldn’t be a big deal. Then the snow came quick and heavy and everyone panicked and tried to go home at the same time, unleashing rush hour traffic on bad road conditions with traffic jams blocking the plows from treating the roads.

Gummy vitamins, felt something crunch. It was one of my fillings and it got jammed into my gum at a point where it was wider than the gap in my teeth and my dentist had to send me to a periodontist. Needed oral surgery afterwards because of the damage.

Back in the early days of x-ray technology some shoe stores would x-ray customers’ feet to make sure the shoes fit right
