Pretty sure the original is just a biblically accurate angel.
It’s only scary-looking though, as a complicated molecule.
Really it’s not even that dangerous, just an irritant.

Honestly the joke only occurred to me after I looked it up myself as well XD when I saw it I was like “ohhhh that’s a pun waiting to happen”

I was born in 85 and I think 1.50 would have been an appropriate price for McDoubles and McChickens. But not three fucking dollars

if only they hadn’t murdered his son, they’d still have a deputy. Sounds like they didn’t understand that when a man loses everything and has nothing left to lose, he loses it.

- Comment on NASA's Dragonfly nuclear-powered helicopter clears key hurdle ahead of 2028 launch toward huge Saturn moon Titan 1 week ago:
Bummer that it doesn’t specify which application of nuclear power, but seeing as in forced to guess, I’d surmise they’re using RTG.
Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator
The spicy rocks get hot and the differential between the hot bit and the cold exterior (and titan is VERY COLD INDEED) “pushes” electrons, to put it as simply as possible.
IF SO, it’s pretty normal for the most part; we’ve been using RTGs for generations.

I think JJJ would’ve paid Peter more if he arranged for pictures that made Spider-Man look more creepy and morally questionable. JJJ probably feels suspicious of all those “heroic” angles.

OOP didn’t complete the transaction so legally speaking he might actually have some wiggle room if they were trying to sting him.
Glad to hear OOP backed out though. The red flags were massive.
If I’m trying to make any kind of business arrangement with anyone, I have basically zero tolerance for if they start trying to modify parameters, move goalposts, add conditions, etc. AFTER they’ve already agreed to show up. Quote me the price, that’s what you’re getting. Oh there was tax? Oh there’s fees? Oh there’s a “surcharge”? Too bad you didn’t mention that before, GUESS THE DEALS OFF FUCKO. You can KEEP your shitty product and/or service.
Now, it’s different if I’m in a storefront for a business whose identity is verified independently such that if there’s a problem and I have to go to small claims court I’ll actually be able to reach them with certified mail, a subpoena, or other process papers that must be served.
Like, I get it, if I’m at a fast food joint there’s gonna be sales tax and a prepared foods tax. If I’m at my car repair shop, they’ve done business with my family for generations and have earned the right to tell me they caught issues wrong with my car UNTIL and UNLESS they get greedy, fuck up, and trigger my bullshit alarm; i’ll still pay but just never come back.
But even then, at a legitimate retailer, if the tax and other bullshit get too high, I have in the past canceled the transaction and walked out without product, and may still in the future depending on the circumstances.
I walked out of three car dealerships before I bought my current car because the price tag said something like $15,000 but they wanted me to sign for something over $20,000. All that paperwork, all those hoops, you wasted my fucking time with this bait and switch fuckery. And you also wasted your own. Good fucking riddance. The last place, they acquiesced and let me complete the purchase for the price that I came there for at the start.
ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS try to have a backup option and already know whether or not you can just go without whatever it is.

EVs have no gears GOOD THING THESE AREN’T GEARS THEN, FUCKO THEY’RE MODE SELECTIONS
EVs do, in fact, Park.
EVs can, in fact, Reverse. EVs must, in fact, need to be capable of rolling free (Neutral) and it would be BETTER if you could do that by disconnecting the drive train to eliminate the risk of the “regenerative braking” system overloading its electrical system and making the battery explode. EVs furthermore OBVIOUSLY Drive.“Low” in the traditional sense is clearly not necessary, obviously, but it could be nice to have a mode selection for what people have sometimes described as “single pedal driving” where regeneration is configured so aggressively that letting up on the accelerator pedal will cause the car to decelerate rapidly without the need to touch the brake pedal.
