Saw Seattle, didn’t think further.

Based on the voting districts alone, those areas aren’t the least populated in the state, but they’re also definitely not cities.
Since those areas also don’t have hiking trails unlike a huge swath of the state, I’m going guess the terrain along the coast there is not easily traverseable.

I’m not an expert in any way, but I know of one way to take a grenade apart.
Though I would think there are less explosive methods that likely take specialized tools, much like disassembling bullets from their casings.
- Comment on What was the first thing or video or music or whatever that was so called "pirated" from the internet? How did it happen and was the end user happy? 1 day ago:
You were also an enjoyer of the clickbaity “money tree” back in the day? Each pixel was a link to something (it was ads, it was entirely ads), but you might could win $10,000 or so it claimed.
Also I was using a 14.4 modem well after 56k and dsl/broadband were introduced and available to everyday consumers. Every webpage took a few minutes to load in for me in those days. It wasn’t until a bit after 2003 that I finally caught up with the times… it’s kind of amazing to think that my ping was manageable in Aliens vs Predator 2, and the first Call of Duty.
- Comment on is my sister likely to be aroace? we think so but we would like a good starting point to help her on her journey. 1 day ago:
I feel obligated to point out that while the label fits, it shouldn’t be a defining personality point.
People often get caught with labels they put there themselves or they were given by others. It’s important to be separate enough from them that you are not constrained by them. If they care enough about finding a label to fit for now, I hope they will continue checking in with themselves on occasion to check if the label still fits.
Much like the feeling of ‘if people are going to call me a villain, I might as well be a villain’. It happens (sometimes quite subtly) for most labels people choose to live by.

The first known things pirated looks to have been software at some point in the 70’s.

Based on information provided, aroace is a functional descriptor.
That being said early teens is a highly transformational time for people. Some change would not be unexpected.
- Comment on Peers vote to ban pornography depicting sex acts between stepfamily members 1 day ago:
If it wasn’t something people sought it wouldn’t be produced. I can’t say I care at all about what people are into as long as it involves consenting adults. I don’t know why anyone feels the need to attempt control over something they don’t like if it’s not harmful. And I don’t perceive skewing societal norms in entertainment as harmful. Addiction is an entire other issue that doesn’t pertain to this specific plot line.

- Comment on Borderlands 4′s New $30 Expansion Pack Isn’t Winning Over Fans 2 weeks ago:
I loved the first one, and it felt like they really hit their stride by the time they finished up all the dlc… And then the second one came out, and while some aspects (bosses, story) were overall better, nearly every other metric I cared about either stagnated for declined. It served as an alert that the devs weren’t interested in the same things I am and got me to boycott gearbox for a decent chunk of time. I eventually decided to try them out again once they had a massive bundle and discount on most of their borderlands games, as well as the tell tale games.
After playing through 3 and some of the dlcs, it feels like they’re just going through the motions at this point. It might as well be a more cartoony call of duty.
I will continue to wait for deep sales on the full products if I feel like they’re worth my time.

And here I’m wondering what he used for the enema vessel. Hydrochloric acid absolutely wrecks plastic in no time at all, it does significant damage to metals fairly quickly as well. I’m going to assume it was glass.
- Comment on I like to fit a full portion of hot garbage in there too 5 months ago:
To be fair any bubbly drink will make a part of me explode.
- Comment on Can someone fact check this 6 months ago:
I’ll take a stab at it.
There are no known owl species that naturally grow up to 16 pounds. The rest of the numbers are just as meaningless.
If you wanted to check what it would take for a random owl species to migrate across the ocean from europe to north america, that’s something we can kind of check.
After a bit of lookup, it seems that the burrowing owl needs about 50 calories a day at rest to live, flight multiplies those calories by a factor of roughly 9.2 times. (I’mma round up to 10 because fuck it.) So 500 a day of pure flight at a speed of somewhere between 2 and 33 mph. I’m going to settle at 20 because I like easy numbers and I feel like it’s not too crazy fast. So 20 miles per hour across 24 hours gets us a distance of 480 miles. Iceland and Scotland are 500 miles away. Assuming any of these assumptions are at all fair, it seems like an owl hellbent on crossing the ocean could manage to do it with laser guidance in less than two days.

Cool, they titled it appropriately.

You might, but it will have absolutely nothing to do with your relationship status.
- Comment on What should I get my online friend for their birthday? 8 months ago:
Any idea if they are playing the games solo (where possible) or with a group? They do all support multiplayer, and it’s kind of important to understand why they play the games they play.
I’d probably check the wishlist or literally ask.
- Comment on Young men are 'playing videogames all day' instead of getting jobs because they can mooch off of free healthcare, claims congressman 9 months ago:
Ah yes, young men. That notoriously healthcare obsesses group of individuals that do all they can to drain the system of all its funding. That’s the problem.
It’s a shame people actually fall for blatant lies like this.
- Comment on $80 for Borderlands 4 too costly? Randy Pitchford says, "If you're a real fan, you'll find a way to make it happen" 10 months ago:
They don’t have any dlc lined up yet so not being to sell you empty promises on top of a normal game price is really tugging at Randy’s purse strings.

Core keeper, Webfishing, Helldivers 2, and powerwashing simulator. I’ve been in a very chill gaming mood aside from the hectic fire fights of helldivers.
- Comment on Helldivers 2 - Masters of Ceremony Warbond | PS5 and PC Games 11 months ago:
Amazingly… this bond is almost exclusively going to be used on bug planets… since the weapons are melee focused and going melee vs bots or squids is not a great idea.
- Comment on Helldivers 2 - Masters of Ceremony Warbond | PS5 and PC Games 11 months ago:
Well those look completely impractical and incredibly fun.
- Comment on Do you use your blinker in a car? 11 months ago:
Been driving for a few decades at this point. I use my turn signals for nearly all turns, and any moving merges. The more information I can give to other drivers, the more likely they are to act rationally… which decreases the chances of miscommunications and accidents.
I don’t always signal while in a turn only lane, as being in that lane should already denote my intentions, and while merging into heavy (stopped, bumper to bumper) traffic…

- Comment on PC gamers spend 92% of their time on older games, oh and there are apparently 908 million of us now 1 year ago:
It feels like it’s always been this way. The amount of ‘doom clones’ from the way back times are not to be forgotten.
- Comment on PC gamers spend 92% of their time on older games, oh and there are apparently 908 million of us now 1 year ago:
Now they’re made with marketable ‘passion’, ‘dedication’, and a team with ‘a family atmosphere’. My personal favorite ‘respect for the lore and previous games in the series’ definitely never has made a triple A game worse for wear.
Disingenuous buzzwords with no objective meaning behind them are my favorite things to hear in a game. It tells me to steer clear as far away as I possibly can. Which is a shame because I’d like to be excited about vampire: the masquerade 2.
- Comment on Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of March 16th 1 year ago:
I’ve been finishing up random challenges in monster hunter wilds. There’s not much left on the ‘achievable without rng shenanigans’ list for me to get, so I’ve started planning for the next one.
Metal bringer. It’s a looter rogue lite in which you play as the daughter of amazing science family whose legacy has been besmirched or something, causing you to have to get out into a world of bots that need some good 'sploding.
The game loop eventually leads to starting with a massive mech and trashing the early game. The boss designs and weapons are really nice though some of the areas give me a headache.

Thank you. This is the first pi day since I learned of it that I was reminded early enough in the day that I can get down on some pie.
- Comment on How rare is it for people to live without anger? 1 year ago:
While I was going through my posts on Twitter and deleting them all, I noticed that nearly all of the were gripes or complaints about something during my day. That’s not to say I had a lot of bad days but I’d be more likely to want to vent them than just vibing through the good days in social media silence. Each person is very different, but unless I was in a space where socializing was a daily thing, my tendency was to be more negative than positive Most of the time.
- Comment on What's the endgame when the rich have all the money? 1 year ago:
It reminds me of the ultimate game of monopoly I played as a kid (on a handheld). I had complete control over the board. I had bankrupted two of the AI’s, but in order to keep line go up, I’d have to keep the last one around. Every time it’d get low on funds I’d offer to significantly overpay for one of its’ few properties, and then sell it back for a dollar.
I got to around 30k before the game either just quit, or the battery died.
