I definitely wouldn’t be happy about it if I were unarmed, but it’s basically a particularly ferocious goose. A baseball bat would be enough to give me a decent chance at leaving more or less unscathed.

Depends on the dinosaur. A Spinosaurus would just eat me, but I could beat up a velociraptor.

Oh, yeah, that’s probably fine. I didn’t expect it to, given the price.

Once you get it fixed, remember to use snap caps when dry-firing anything rimfire. The firing pin can hit the chamber and fuck things up. It isn’t an issue with center-fire (including rimmed center-fire like .357 Mag or 7.62x54R), since the pin just goes down the barrel on a dry fire, but there isn’t much space between the pin and shoulder on a rim-fire.

You need a lot of mirrors and/or lenses to cook something using sunlight. Unless you’re in Arizona, then just stick your skillet out the window.

It’s a pointless slop recreation of an existing Boomer humor comic: i.pinimg.com/…/98b0bd1744b3d4f939d97fd4ad7a02de.j…

If it loses 50-80% of the value as soon as it’s used, might as well get a used one if you must have a natural diamond. This also applies to cars and plenty of other things. Let someone with more money than you take the hit.

I bet 80% of people who always cry about this commutes by car into an office in an office park in the middle of nowhere.
It was that or work at a gas station for 1/3 the pay. I’m just asking for a choice.
- Comment on Why do they call it rule when... 1 week ago:
Allegedly, putting a wooden spoon on the pot of a boiling dish that tends to boil over (like pasta) will prevent it from doing so. I’ve only tested with bamboo, which definitely does not work.

Literal centuries before that, there were indulgences.

Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth did a good job with localization. I remember one character speaking with a thick Southern US accent, and at one point mentioning that she was from Kansai. I didn’t previously know that Kansai was rural, but I was able to get that from the context.

Transliteration is another thing entirely: it’s translating the sounds. “I’ll beat you so that the lights in your eyes go out” translated to Japanese is “君の目の光が消えるまで殴ってやる”. Transliterated back, it’s “Kimi no me no hikari ga kieru made nagutte yaru”.

Those damn kids and their newfangled pointy rocks. Back in my day, if you needed your rock to do more damage, you just got a bigger one!
- Comment on 1919 (correctly) 2 weeks ago:
While the concert and wedding are events where you should turn off your ringer, it’s certainly true that phones can ring at inconvenient times. A big enough problem to outweigh the benefit of being able to check in, find people, call for help, etc. from nearly anywhere? Absolutely not, but it’s still a pretty accurate prediction.
- Comment on Can you think of any now? 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, the concept is nice, but it tells me that the Big Bang doesn’t explain what happened before it (the leading hypothesis is that the Big Bang started time, so there is no “before”) and sources a Wikipedia article on spiders. Then, it cites the common myth about Daddy Longlegs being highly venomous, says that that wasn’t dispelled until 2020, and then cites a fucking BuzzFeed listicle.

“Withstand” is a strong word. It charred a groove into the durian in a minute or so.

The left largely fights by arguing, which can lead to better ideas if people are open to listen. That isn’t always the case, but it’s a possibility. The right is fighting with homicide.

Not just the right vs. everyone else, the right vs. everyone. The right is also fighting itself.

Well, the people who want your art also have to both exist and have money to pay you if you want to make money. There’s probably a sweet spot. I’m not sure what it is, but the money to be made probably declines after a point.

Furries are notoriously rich, so I think that’s the only out for someone who’s drawn themselves into this type of corner. It was business, not pleasure.

Sure would be a shame if a hacker from a country that doesn’t prosecute these sorts of things (e.g. most of eastern Europe) noticed that the dev was keeping all of the source on an otherwise blank computer with a default password.
