Yeah. I played that biach in poker and she cleaned me out. Pay sure she had her little animal friends informing on my card.
Fair my ass…
- Comment on Magic Rocks 1 week ago:
Makes sense.
When I spend a lot of time doing 3D design work I find myself looking at the world afterwards in terms of underlying mathematics, angles and shapes. Like I’ll look at a cabinet and see rectangles and cylindrical cuts that could reproduce it in 3d, or a lamp-post as a circle extruded along a path.
People who are really into rocks probably notice more about that stuff because their brains are hyper-focused on such

That’s horrible but kinda hilarious too. Wondering how the hell they tracked that one down.
“Well this one had bits of corn and bean in it but only Bob had that today for lunch and I’m positive I saw him bolting for the men’s room, so mayyybe…”

I’ve got a cheaper, tap-cold only version (mainly because that’s the easiest to install without running new plumbing or electrical in that particular location). Honestly the cold water isn’t so bad. It can even numb things up if you’ve been dehydrated and launched a particularly stressful cannonball.

So how about when a link is shared on Lemmy or Reddit or FB? Do the latter strip out the identifiers, or does that one person’s reshared post associate them with the clicks of thousands of others?
For web links, they’d also be able to find the source from the referrer tags etc

Yup. I use credit a lot but also pay off my cards every pay period. I get that it sucks for merchants, but you know what sucks worse: getting cheated like this on a debit/cash transaction, or worse having your debit card skimmed.
A relative of mine had the latter and the bank froze her account for weeks while investigating. If it was a credit card they’d just freeze the transaction and maybe send you a replacement card with different #

This does seem like an important step. Like yeah, absolutely report this to the vendor but a theft also occurred so at least get a file going. Providing a police file # might have been enough to get them to refund as well

Yeahhhhh. It used to be when we called the place McDick’s it was commentary on the food/service quality not the menu items

- Comment on why does alcohol stop my back pain but medicine doesn't? 2 months ago:
I think it very much depends on the type of and source of pain.
For me, Tylenol works for headaches and some cold/flu stuff but I’ve never really found it effective for strained muscles etc
- Comment on Mario Kart 64 got finally decompiled! 2 months ago:
Yeah but Nintendo doesn’t always seem to give a shit just because something is legal. They’ll still play the “but our legal department has more money than YOU” card

All these Doom sequels… a proper Descent would kick ass

I wonder how hard it would be for an “unofficial” patch to “somehow” be released that restores the previous functionality
- Comment on Liquid Trees 3 months ago:
I still want the trees outdoors, but this would be cool for indoor spaces. Each mall or parking lot could have a solar panel overhead and slime-tanks to produce useful byproducts.
Maybe it could be mixed with and aquaculture like fish and sea plants to create cool scenery

TV Broadcasters: “oh, so you want more shitty ‘reality TV’ then?”
- Comment on What's the point in getting married? 3 months ago:
Yeah. My buddy lived with his SO. They had kids together. I believe they did have plans to get married but there were financial/planning considerations. At the time, the house was in his name.
He died unexpectedly and without warning due to a previously unknown medical condition. I don’t believe he had a W&T.
The paperwork she had to deal with - much of which would have been not required had they been married - was horrendous, especially anything bank related. The bank also seemed to be doing their best to fuck her over in regards to the family home. It was a nasty ordeal.
- Comment on For all you inked people 3 months ago:
Yeah, I was thinking the same. It’s basically a visible representation of somebody’s thought process. It may indicate something important to them, something they’re passionate about, or just a point decision without due consideration for consequences.
People get tattoos that are extremely artistic and represent a significant investment in both time and money. Many get tattoos about something they have a passion for. Some to honor deceased loved ones. Some to represent their culture.
Others get a facial tat with prison symbols or to make themselves look like a lizard/devil, which I can only describe as a “look-at-me” tattoo. That may not be the type of personality you want working for you or even to hang out with…

Yeah some of them back then would probably have been able to braid more than just the hair on their head…

My wife loves Asian period dramas and this is a hugely common thing that drives me nuts. It doesn’t matter if you’ve got period clothing and scenery etc. If the “lowly common girl” has a perfect complexion, teeth, and obvious cosmetics it just breaks it.

Contrast that to i.e. J Jonah Jameson in the Tobie McGuire Spider Man movies. I was absolutely floored to see how they managed to get somebody who fit they look, attitude and mannerisms of what was pretty much a relatively low-screen-time side-character.
Actually in general I’d say the casting choices for the first two movies contributed very strongly to their success. So many of them just fit.

Yeah. The MC is a jackass but he does learn a bit over the series and there’s some depth to the thoughts on how little would react to being able to come back from dying repeatedly (and the first “training scenario”) under most scenarios.
