Superb Owls kill squirrels too. Not just chickens.
- Comment on Calculatable 1 week ago:
Calculators are similar to a Dark Souls game.
If that were true then mashing buttons on your calculator would prevent any inputs from being processed for a few seconds.
Fromsoft believes in punishing button-mashers.

Time to get off the internet, Dr. Jackson. I’m sure those goa’uld will show up in their spaceships any day now.
- Comment on Can a laptop docking station be used on a KVM switch? 2 weeks ago:
There are software KVMs that should work if you can’t get a hardware solution to work. I can’t imagine any issues with a hardware KVM and your setup as long as the cables and ports are the proper ones for what you have going on. Most KVMs are plug and play.

You don’t want to sell me happy sticks. You want to go home and rethink your life.

That doesn’t sound like a mobile ordering problem. That sounds like a staffing problem.

Excessive laxative use is a thing bulimics sometimes do. It will ruin your insides so probably not a good idea.
- Comment on Scientific Method 4 weeks ago:
Data should move to a country that lacks the phonemes to properly pronounce your name (looking at you Spanish and your piddly 5 vowel sounds). You end up just answering to anything that sounds similar.

Why not go talk to your doctor and see if you have a fungal skin infection. Many of them are nearly undetectable. The doctor should be able to give you an antifungal pill to take for a few weeks and you should be smelling normal again.

- Comment on Currently downloading The Witcher 3 for the first time. Got any advice for me? 5 weeks ago:
Clear the entirety of the first map. You’ll save yourself some headaches and power up Geralt a bit which helps a ton in the early game.
- Comment on Any game with a forced stealth section needs to have it as a warning so you know not to buy crap. 1 month ago:
There’s a danger in any game where it might be largely designed and marketed to be one thing, and then has lengthy mandatory sections where it becomes another.
This is the only issue I have with the cyberpunk 2077 DLC. Most of the game is an open-world action rpg. Then all of a sudden depending on your choices in the DLC you can end up in a mission that is basically Alien: Isolation survival horror. You go from being a powerhouse that can destroy pretty much anything in the game and tank missile hits to being hunted and unable to kill what is hunting you. It was super fucking annoying the first time I did the DLC because I hate those type of games. Great DLC except for that small part.
- Comment on Starfield's first DLC is one of the worst Bethesda and DLCs of all time 1 month ago:
I prefer the male voice but the female voice is more emotive. Plus the female avatar gets a nice story with Judy.
- Comment on Starfield's first DLC is one of the worst Bethesda and DLCs of all time 1 month ago:
They changed a lot, but in a good way. I had also spent a while away from the game and came back recently for the expansion. It’s really good.
I would suggest starting a new character from scratch if you pick up the DLC. You’ll really appreciate the new changes to cyberwear that way.
- Comment on 17 subtitle languages, none of them English 1 month ago:
You can include this one too:
- forced - only includes subtitles for speech not in the main language (e.g. Vulcan subtitled but English not in Star Trek)
- Comment on How do decide what language you speak living on a countries border. 1 month ago:
On the colombian brazilian border they speak a mixture of portuguese and spanish called portuñol.
- Comment on At what point when learning a new language do someone become bilingual? 1 month ago:
I felt I was bilingual when I started thinking in spanish. I’m not completely fluent but I speak well and can understand most things with context if I don’t know the words.

- Comment on And don't get me started on "Sean" 1 month ago:
One of Pablo Escobar’s lieutenants was nicknamed Popeye. When i first heard it pronounced in spanish I was so confused. To make it even funnier, here in Medellin y’s are pronounced like j’s so here his name is Poh-pay-jay.
- Comment on And don't get me started on "Sean" 1 month ago:
I only recognize proto-indo-european pronunciations.
- Comment on And don't get me started on "Sean" 1 month ago:
Find a friend who is bilingual in the opposite languages as you. So for me a Spanish native that speaks English. Then you can correct each other’s fuck ups on pronunciation. That’s what me and my buddies do. It helps a lot for words you’ve only ever seen written.

Ours is the traditional pronunciation. You fucks changed it after we left because you didn’t like to sound like provincial rebels.
- Comment on Is martial arts really that useful? 1 month ago:
Look up some old MMA fights and you’ll see the fights were usually awkward and bad.
Art Jimmerson vs Royce Gracie at UFC 1
For those not in the know Royce Gracie is one of the best to ever in jiujitsu. He won UFC 1, 2, & 4.
Art Jimmerson showed up with one hand with a boxing glove and one without. Royce showed up in a gi with no gloves.
Let’s just say Art didn’t do so well.
The fight is on youtube for anyone who wants to watch it. It isn’t very long.
- Comment on Is martial arts really that useful? 1 month ago:
I’m a downhill biker but I learned a bunch of combatives in the army so I know how to fall really well. My friends are always surprised when I walk away from a crash that should have broken something and all I have is a scratch on my shoulder.
My secret is just go limp. Tensing up is when you hurt yourself in a fall.
