The sheer number of flammable metals out there is a little scary lol It’s not that many, but it’s more than most people realize.
Living in an oxygen-rich environment has its drawbacks lol

William Osman made the tungsten cube so expensive. It was like $2k when he did his video wrecking shit with it. Now they’re asking $10k for the 3 inch cube.
I respect the hustle, but damn.
Still, the 1 cm model is like $50 and would still be absurdly heavy for its size, even if it only weighs 19¼ grams.
Might be worth it to find yourself a bunch of old incandescent lightbulbs and get the filaments out instead.

I sometimes have dreams that I’m eating batteries. Like I’m biting through them like they’re made of cake. And I’m like, “What am I doing? This will kill me! Lol” and then I wake up very confused.

I knew about 5-digit dialing, but never knew people used to dial only 4 digits. That’s pretty neat, and probably made life with a rotary phone much easier than people my age realize.
I’m a younger millennial so it was no big deal to grab the landline and dial 1+10 digits to call my girlfriend long distance in 2009. On a rotary phone, it’d probably have taken til supper just to dial lol
I did find a rotary phone in a box at my great grandmother’s house once and played with it because it was fascinating to me. Then I dialed a random 800 number on it and remarked that it was kinda amazing that so many people bought things over the telephone in the day lol

But it’s also why heavily populated areas have certain area codes. These numbers were just faster to dial. For instance:
- 212: Manhattan
- 213: Los Angeles
- 214: Dallas
- 312: Chicago
- 313: Detroit
- 314: St. Louis
- 321: East Central Florida
- 323: Also LA
- 332: Also Manhattan
- 413: Pittsburgh
- 415: San Francisco
Generally, if the area code took less time to dial, odds are it’s an urban code. The emergent pattern is when middle digit is 1 or 2. Like 816 for KCMO or 918 for Tulsa or 416 for Toronto.
And if it featured higher digits or a zero, it was probably rural. Area Code 907 was established in 1957 for almost all of Alaska. That’s 26 total pulses. 906 is for Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and was put into service in 1961 after splitting off from 616, which services Grand Rapids.
Many of the high digit urban area codes were put into use after touch tone dialing became widespread since any number took just as long as any other to dial.

Nope, I’m running vanilla. I’m experimenting with what you can do out of order. There’s nothing stopping you from just leaving the Water Temple to do Spirit Temple after you get the longshot. I’m sure there’s a way to get there without the longshot too.
I’m also doing a 3 heart run because OoT is actually pretty easy. There does come a point where you have to start doing boss fights perfectly because every hit is OHKO. I’ve finished a run like this before. But now that I know about Ship, I’m gonna turn the damage multipliers way up and give myself a reason to actually get hearts.

I’m already pretty blown away at widescreen support. I never thought I’d get to play '98 OoT in widescreen.

Dude, I wish I could launch this to the top of the thread. I just set it up, and it’s so much snappier than running on emulator.

It’s also included on the Collector’s Edition on GameCube, along with Majora’s Mask, the original Legend of Zelda, and Zelda II.

I’ve seen some YouTubers like Linkus and PointCrow do randomizers before, and I’ve genuinely considered it a number of times. There are some of the glitches I’m having trouble nailing. Like the hook shot jump off Dampe’s hut to access Shadow Temple early.
But I don’t think I ever considered that there would be difficulty levels on these lol I never tried one because I didn’t want to get super far into a run and lose it to a glitch that I just don’t have the time to master. But knowing that there can be easier rolls set up makes me a bit more comfortable with the idea.

My car is shitty enough that the store brand blades that cost $8 each work better with it than any other pricier blade I have ever used.
But, the real move? Hydrophobic (water repellant) coating. Once applied, you’ll never need to touch the wiper stalk. Rain-X is my go-to, mostly because of availability, but others do exist out there. It’s also really cool how the beads just blow off as soon as you accelerate.
My favorite thing is when it rains on a fresh glass coating and wax. The way water beads up on newly waxed paint is gorgeous to me.

Thank you! It was a great time. I got caught up on the family drama I’ve missed since my birthday a few months ago, and I’m totally fine getting the CliffsNotes version as opposed to a front row seat. She told me about what she’s got going on tomorrow. I bragged about some of my recent achievements at work. We work in the same field, except she’s a small business owner, and I work for the government. So we both know the lingo and the jargon.
But it was just really nice to see my mom again.
Anyway, it’s in shitposts because I posted it in shitposts. :P

Universities have fight songs, colors, turf, hierarchical structures. They call their grunts students. They call the leader the president. The head honchos who report to the leader are the vice presidents and deans. Members can be in their own subsections they call Greek, and many of them have historically had initiation rituals.
In conclusion, universities are just state-sponsored, state-sanctioned gangs.
What’s your alma mater, cuh?
/s. Obviously.

I used to have Dawn of Souls long ago. I figured out early on that four unarmed monks was the way to go. If you need a little support, maybe a white mage. But for the most part, you’ll breeze through it just punching everything til it dies to death.

I did once. The quarter fell onto some solder points and short circuited a bunch of stuff. Fried the whole machine. This was back in the early 90s, of course, when a typical computer cost as much as a nice used car and maybe four people in the county had one, much less knew how to fix one. Something about getting beaten with jumper cables. Sometimes the hard lessons are the ones that stick with you most because as I got older, I learned how to solder and perform board level repairs. It’s an insanely useful skill.
