Anyway, I hope your faith in the British public continues to heal.
I hope the British public continues to increasingly act in such a way as to deserve our faith.

Yoshi, because if I wanted the best acceleration acceleration the only other choice was the princess.

- Comment on California just passed a law forcing mandatory DRM in 3D printers 2 days ago:
They just want to destroy open source firmware. They hate freedom from corporate control, not guns.

It can’t. They want to destroy 3D printers entirely.

Old article + new user account = maybe bot reposting?

Fallout 76 doesn’t count as a sequel to Fallout 4 in the same way that Elder Scrolls Online doesn’t count as a sequel to Skyrim. MMOs just aren’t the same kind of game as a single-player RPG.

the Wasteland hadn’t changed at all despite it now being centuries since the bombs fell
That’s one of the things that annoys me about Fallout: it’s just so unrealistically barren. I mean, we have real-life examples in places like Hiroshima and Chernobyl, and the reality is that pretty damn quickly after the bombs, they’ll be just as green again as normal. Don’t get me wrong, obviously there should still be mutated creatures and ruins and stuff, but it should all be super-overgrown, too.
Not to mention, centuries is plenty of time for civilization to at least clean up a lot of the debris and such, and even make decent progress recovering. Realistically, the state of the world in Fallout is more appropriate for a setting a decade or less after the war.

At this point, I’d need to re-play Mass Effect 1 and 2 first. And also wait for it to go on a good sale.

I mean, that’s literally what the video we’re discussing is about (starting at 8:34). You did watch it, right? 😜

This isn’t from personal experience because its reputation is so bad I avoided it entirely, but apparently Mass Effect 3. The fan backlash was so strong they apparently had to retcon the ending, LOL!

(You know it’s bad when it’s infamous enough to warrant its own Wikipedia article.)

That’s exactly what makes wood better, though: the bacteria gets drawn into the board via capillary action and then dies when it dries out.

Meanwhile, you have to wait for weeks for an appointment under the current system anyway.

Amazon sells a lot of illegal shit. That doesn’t mean it’s okay; that just means law enforcement isn’t doing its goddamn job.
- Comment on ‘The market is dead’: why aren’t flats in England selling? 1 week ago:
Well, at least fixing it should still be cheaper than grenfell–ahem, “green field”–development.
- Comment on How come there is not a community for new mods to get in discussions with seasoned mods that is not adversarial? That way the newbs can learn from old guard and old guard learn from the new? 1 week ago:
I feel like we should have some sort of onboarding process then, because I’ve been a mod for a while now and this is the first I’m hearing of some kind of mod discussion space that I’m apparently missing out on.

It’s not a sham election! I know Count Binface seems like a shoe-in, but like it or not, Farage is technically a legitimate candidate.

Exchange it until you get one that isn’t destroyed by improper packaging.

It’s salt. What sort of pathogen is capable of living on it to begin with?
- Comment on Please critique this in terms of its raising awareness of the less aware. It's old news to us, but will it help people wake up a little? 2 weeks ago:
Simultaneously too complicated and lacking context. Split it into multiple infographics.

Remember this scene in Ratatouille where Colette talks about the sordid pasts of the kitchen staff? Now consider that that was bowdlerized for a kids’ movie, compared to reality.

Yes.

That’s just burning a hydrocarbon with extra steps.

I don’t want to agree because I like biking, but damn if “literally speed run” isn’t clever.

The kind of homes that would be a starter home for a working class family back in the 1950s just don’t exist anymore.
First of all, yes they do. They’re just mostly condos instead of single-family detached houses.
Second, even houses literally built in the '50s that still exist are expensive these days.

It annoys me that Voyager is smart enough to save my comment text, but not smart enough to save the post URL so it can open back up to the same place.

Wait a second, does that mean Life of Brian was inaccurate and the graffiti grammar correction should’ve been in Greek instead?
