So is it bad that I’m on prescription amphetamines and had to do some unexpected work on the wiring on a 3-phase compressor after having a beer?

Autistic boys sometimes get called quaint. Other times people call the police and they get shot.

That’s true almost everywhere these days. Climate change and pesticides did a number on them.
I used to see hundreds floating around at night. Now I’m lucky to spot one a year.
Also, lovebugs. There were so many everywhere it was difficult to drive sometimes. I haven’t noticed any in years.

I’d appreciate help from the rest of the world.
Please embargo us. We need our economy to be in ruins next November, with Trump and his goons as the culprits. Heck - if you can fuck our economy by January, we may even be able to primary some current Republicans so thet Trump is fucked by the midterms no matter which party wins.

These jank movies do have a function.
People gotta learn to use cameras and decorate sets and shit. Might as well make a dumb movie out of it and hope to sell a few units.

That’s so close it should’ve just announced the day it released and blown all our minds.

Theater was the Superman Returns movie tie-in. The game wasn’t good, but the health system for the city was a neat idea, and the flying was AMAZING.
There’s never been a bad game with an element I enjoyed so much as Superman Returns and the flying.

There’s also mountain racists and wood racists.
It’s like varieties of horrible elves.
- Comment on HR people smiling at you thinking that you are a complete moron 2 weeks ago:
When I’ve had to let people go, I’ve always believed it important to do it personally. It’s difficult, but it’s part of the duty of a boss to face the person they’re letting go.
I’ve been accused of being cold when doing it, but that’s because I don’t feel like I have the right to show the emotional impact on me when it’s someone else’s life being wrecked.
I’ve also violated company policy several times and given glowing reviews of former staff instead of simply confirming they worked at the company.

Wasn’t Worf always a pipe dream.
Michael Dorn kept pitching it, but it was never going to happen.

I feel like putting stuff back in the correct spot would fall under, “Yes, that’s part of your job.”
- Comment on The Picture of the Century... Nature defeats Technology 3 weeks ago:
A phantom will absolutely break skin. I flew one for years.
Lots of newer drones like the Mavic series have folding props that won’t break skin, but those fixed-blade props were like getting hit with a weed-whacker.
- Comment on The Picture of the Century... Nature defeats Technology 3 weeks ago:
The Mavic series has folding blades. But the Phantom series pictured has rigid blades that are stiff enough they’ll fuck up flesh.
- Comment on The Picture of the Century... Nature defeats Technology 3 weeks ago:
They can cut the shit out of you. They won’t sever a finger or anything with the stock props (some aftermarket carbon fiber stuff might though), but they’ll fuck up flesh.

I used a tool to overwrite mine right before the API bullshit went into effect, but searching for my account, it appears they were all restored.

As a percentage, forklifts always way more incidents, and the incidents they can cause are BAD.
An F-150 isn’t gonna make a warehouse’s worth of product domino onto workers because someone leaned on the wrong lever.
- Comment on Red Dead Redemption 2 was amazing. 3 weeks ago:
It’s also a very long campaign with several points that feel like they’re coming up on the ending, only for a lot more game and story to come afterward.
- Comment on Octopath Traveler 0 – Announcement Trailer 4 weeks ago:
I never finished the 1st one because I found the complete lack of connection between the stories frustrating. I get that they wanted you to be able to play with any combination of the 8 characters, but the story suffered heavily.
It was just 8 separate games played at once with the same mechanics, and the lack of any real overarching story meant the narative scope of everything felt small.
- Comment on Think about what today is considered next level vs what it used to be 4 weeks ago:
That’s eerily similar to what I grew up with. Like: “are you my sibling, and is that actually my old house”-level similar.

If it was used as an actual currency instead of an investment vehicle for speculators, that would help.
It also has zero protection from scams and fraud.
- Comment on Nintendo can disable your Switch 2 for piracy in the U.S., but not in Europe, as confirmed by its EULA 5 weeks ago:
Americans can’t sign it, but the law would absolutely benefit American gamers.
If they have to do the legwork to leave the games in a playable state or pass it to the community, American gamers will be able to participate.

For plastics, pretty much. The thing about plastic recycling is that it’s more expensive that making new plastic, and the recycled stuff is lower quality and unsuitable for many uses.
Metal.recycling, especially aluminum, makes economic sense and does better.
