- Comment on Can you think of any now? 2 days ago:
The mitochondria better still be the power house of the cell. Or we are going to flip some tables and burn the place down.
- Comment on Yummy 1 week ago:
More the other way around. The m&ms and raisins pick up salt from the other stuff which is what is gross to me.
- Comment on Yummy 1 week ago:
The weird thing is I absolutely love raisins by themselves. But I despise them as an ingredient in anything. Terrible in cookies. I hate trail mix because I don’t like sweet and salty together.
- Comment on Yummy 1 week ago:
I’ve had some good ones. But most of them are terrible. Usually because they put raisins in them.
- Comment on Zoom’s CEO agrees with Bill Gates, Jensen Huang, and Jamie Dimon: A 3-day workweek is coming soon thanks to AI 1 week ago:
The only reason they would consider a 3 day work week is to make all their employees “part time” and deny them benefits.
- Comment on 'Borderlands 4 is a premium game made for premium gamers' is Randy Pitchford's tone deaf retort to the performance backlash: 'If you're trying to drive a monster truck with a leaf blower's motor, you're going to be disappointed' 1 week ago:
I haven’t played more than about 30 minutes of a Borderlands game. But from clips I have seen of all of them over the years, they all look exactly the same. Sounds to me like it’s just a poorly optimized game, as is standard for new AAA slop releases.
- Comment on Language model 3 weeks ago:
Though Thoreau taught thorough thought through the tough tests throughout the tugboat.
- Comment on It is. Just accept it 4 weeks ago:
Dove & Jalapeno poppers are a labor day tradition here in Texas.
- Comment on A love story 4 weeks ago:
Sounds like a Robot Chicken sketch. Imagine it animated with claymation.
- Comment on bmw 4 weeks ago:
A good friend of mine was a BMW mechanic for years. He favorite joke was: “You know what the most sole crushingly pointless job is? The guy who installs turn signals at the BMW factory.”
- Comment on bmw 4 weeks ago:
The Altimas turn signals simply don’t work. The driver is unaware.
The BMWs signals work fine. The driver just thinks they are too good to use turn signals.

Nah, I called you a fucking toaster, you fucking toaster.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
I should have dragged the trashcan outside and asked them to help me take it to the dumpster.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
I went to college in a small town, there was a festival every fall in the old downtown area, and a religious group would get a booth right in front of the bar we liked to go to. They would forcibly hand out those tiny little new testaments to everyone trying to walk into the bar. The bar owner put a 50 gallon trash can right inside the door. It was full of those bibles. Such a waste of paper.
- Comment on The regrets of life 1 month ago:
See, my cynical self assumed they both were hoping to lock you down as a BF or husband to mooch off of you, and cheat like crazy while you are deployed.
Maybe I have just heard those stories too many times, from people I know who were in the military.
- Comment on They don't make 'em like they used to 1 month ago:
Fun fact: It’s still used to describe an access hole in a barrel, or drum. At work, I sell stuff that sometimes comes in 55gal drums. I regularly have to explain what a bunghole is to people who have never worked with drums before, because they think I am being vulgar at first.
- Comment on What is the maximum number of potatoes you could grow in your house or on property you own before it becomes a crime? 1 month ago:
As long as you don’t live under the oppressive thumb of an HOA or city lawn ordinances, you can grow as many potatoes as is physically possible within your available space.
But when you run out of practical space, you will probably think about going vertical. But building tall structures without planning permission or city approval is likely where you will run into trouble.
- Comment on [Inverse Thinking] How do I make sure my place gets messy again after I thoroughly cleaned and organized it? 1 month ago:
Have some children.
- Comment on Can an American explain to me what's with the grooves on PS1 NTSC cases? 1 month ago:
“Ribbed, for their pleasure.”
- Comment on A whole bunch of racing games are cheap at the moment, and there are so many that it's difficult to look through them all. What are your recommendations? 1 month ago:
I’ve been having a blast playing Descenders. I also picked up Hot Wheels Unleashed to play with my Hot Wheels obsessed 4 yr old.
- Comment on Gamers have you ever been in a game competition or something similar? 1 month ago:
Summer of 2005. Played one round of CS Source on stage at CPL. We lost.
- Comment on OP cleans his fridge 1 month ago:
I was disgusted and really needed to know what this was. Since nobody seems to have answered I did a reverse image search:
spoiler
It’s a lash egg, laid by a chicken with an infection in its fallopian tubes.
- Comment on Bird 1 month ago:
I’ve met a few who don’t know humans are animals. But I have met a ton who do not believe that humans are animals. They are generally far less pleasant people to deal with than the first group.
- Comment on Bird 1 month ago:
If I had a nickel for every time I had that conversation…
- Comment on Bird 1 month ago:
I can see where some confusion might come from with a student who doesn’t really pay attention or care. Both cells and atoms are tiny and contain a “nucleus” so If you are working with barely understood half remembered facts it might get confusing.

uh… Shatner is still alive…

William Shatner
- Comment on workflow 1 month ago:
Off season farm workers, paid in beer.
- Comment on The long hard road 1 month ago:
I really enjoyed the show. Wish it got more seasons. I watched it long before reading the books. Yeah, I think the hotel as “poe” in the show was better than in the books.
- Comment on Where are all the successful "red cities"? 1 month ago:
Makes sense with horseshoe theory. Red for authoritarians no matter left or right. Red is a warning.
