You severely misunderstood the purpose of this community...
- Comment on Anyone else travel to see the eclipse just to have clouds come in right before totality? 6 months ago:
the sky was clear for about an hour before totality, and then about 15 minutes before, a big dark cloud came in and ruined it.
Yup, that was exactly my experience too (in northern France in August 1999).
- Comment on Is it okay to wash hands with body soap? 9 months ago:
I was actually kind of confused at first about the liquid and bar soap thing. I've used bar soap to wash my hands all my life, and for nothing else. To wash the whole body during a shower, I use liquid soap (called shower gel) and I would find bar soap unwieldy. Moral of the story: your insistence on using one vs the other is entirely cultural.
Fun fact: even washing-up liquid (dish soap) can be used to wash your hands in a pinch.
- Comment on What are some of the best mini-games youve played? (games inside games) 9 months ago:
As a fan of the LucasArts point-and-click adventure games of the 80s-90s, it would be remiss of me not to mention that Day of the Tentacle, the sequel to Maniac Mansion (their first adventure game ever), actually contains Maniac Mansion as a minigame.

If you accept modules in Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes as “minigames” then I could name several hundreds that I enjoyed when I was still active in that game. Many of them are “soloable”, meaning, do not require another player with a manual. Several fans of the game, myself included, would sometimes load up a bomb containing only soloable modules and just play on their own.
- Comment on What is an average person living in the US supposed to do about corporations raising prices? 9 months ago:
Because you'll be investing in, and therefore helping that company. Only a small fraction of the company's profit is going to reach you. You'll be part of the problem with capitalism.
