In a time of war, should we really be sharing sensitive information like this?

One that basically doesn’t have a definition. It has started to only mean the chuggadachuggadachuggada Nordic throat attack music…
It now only means Taranchula, it used to also include Limozeen.

Well here’s Wikipedia. Beyond this I’m going to assert you find a source that says “Bon Jovi was never considered metal.”

Polio has not been eradicated the way Smallpox has. There is no smallpox anywhere. There are Polio patients, relatively rare as they are.

I don’t consider them disposable, exactly. I don’t exactly intend them to be handed down through the generations (Exhibit A: I have no children) but I intend to keep them in service as long as any $40 logo tee is.

I would swear that the definition of “metal” has changed. There was a point in time Bon Jovi and Def Leppard were considered metal. Nowadays it seems that “metal” music is required to sound like your head is submerged in the oil sump of a diesel engine.
And you know what? I like metal heads, they tend to be cool folk who…appreciate their senses differently than I do somehow.

I buy my shirts by the pound from a wholesaler. A buck or two a pop. They adequately keep the sawdust out of my chest hair.

Used. They don’t do oral polio vaccines anymore AFAIK.
- Comment on CW: Picture of a severe vaccine injury, NSFL 2 days ago:
Yeah that’s exactly it. I’ve never seen one of those…fresh. I think they stopped using that kind of vaccine before I was born, again I never got vaccinated against smallpox, joys of being born in the 80’s. Was it an open sore? Or did it just…sink in?

My mother has one; a little spot on her arm where her skin just, kind of wrinkles inward a little. It doesn’t stand proud like a wound that scabbed over, it’s sunken in.
I’m a millennial, I’m not vaccinated against smallpox, it was certified eradicated 5 years before I was born.

I saw a video by Joe Scott in which he asked the question, what was the earliest depiction of a human face? Because it’s a weirdly recent phenomenon; prehistoric cave paintings are full of animals and silhouettes of human hands, but rarely any humans at all and if so only as rudimentary stick figures, nowhere near as well drawn as the animals. There are extremely few depictions of human faces that predate the invention of writing. Those “Venus” statues are practically always headless or, like the one shown above, has an abstract nub where the head should be.

Prehistoric figurines like that I’m counting as inadmissible because we don’t know what they were for. It’s common to call them “Venuses” and something something fertility totems but nobody knows for sure what they’re for or why they were made. They could have been anything from goddess totems to self-portraits to wank dolls.
Contrast that to portraits of Min on Egyptian temple walls where we have a pretty thorough understanding of their purpose.

Firewatch has certain choose your own adventure style “What is thy name, adventurer?” questions that it will refer back to later but it doesn’t effect the actual game that much. You get slightly different dialog lines from Horny Boss Chick On The Radio. What did it do that Roger Wilco couldn’t?
- Comment on Normal 3 days ago:
That reminds me of the ancient Egyptian fertility god, Min.
You know how fertility gods are often attractive women, think Aphrodite and the like? That was a relatively recent invention, the ancient Egyptians had a black guy with a huge erection and a “flail”:

My understanding was it was for getting the game out on early access by a certain date, which they were going to hit, which is why they were unceremoniously and illegally fired.

As much as I like Subnautica, I’m not buying Subnautica 2 if Krafton stands a chance at seeing any of the revenue. I might be the only human capable of voting with my wallet, and I’m going to use this power.
I’m American, I strongly believe in collateral damage, I will willingly make the children of the Unknown Worlds Entertainment staff go hungry. That’s the choice Unknown Worlds’ higher-ups made going into business with shifty Asian shit-for-fucks promising executive bonuses bigger than the gross revenue of anything their studio has made.
Subnautica was Unknown Worlds Entertainment’s biggest seller. I don’t have exact sales figures but Wikipedia says “over 5 million copies.” Assuming every copy sold at the full retail price of $30, that’s a gross revenue of $150 million. Below Zero sold for the same price and probably fewer copies, so the entire Subnautica franchise has grossed an estimated $300 million total. They have other games which are small potatoes compared to Subnautica. So, you’re the CEO of Unknown Worlds, you know your games pull about $150 million gross each. What kind of smoke do the Koreans blow up your ass to convince you your next game is going to do so well they’ll be able to cover $250 million in bonuses while still covering rent, bills and normal wages?

The spindle housing of a drill press is called a quill, oddly enough.

Please tell me there’s a language out there that actually calls them “bird leaves.” Like how there’s a language where the word for green is “leaf blue.”

Man invented shoes first, because he was walking through the hot sand and the sharp rocks and the pointy briars, so he invented shoes to protect his feet from the ground. Then he invented pants, because he felt silly standing around naked in his shoes.
I think that was a Gallagher bit?
