I’m going to regret this but what is a gunt?
- Comment on Where to start? 2 days ago:
TNG season 3. The first two sessions are pretty rough. Start with 3. If you ever do a rewatch then try starting with season 1. Then try DS9.
TOS is good if you can handle the very low budget look.
- Comment on burden of knowledge 5 days ago:
They keep growing until they die. If they live long enough they get so big they either can’t get enough food or oxygen and die.
They have urinary ducts in their eyes and when they meet other lobsters they piss on each others face. If they have fought in the last week or so the loser backs down. If not they fight.
The biggest male lobster knows where the others live and once a week visits the other lobsters. Pisses in their face and then beats them up.
When a female enters estrus she goes to the biggest lobster’s den. He then beats her to help her molt. When her shell is removed they mate.
She is allowed to stay for a few days during the vulnerable period when her shell regrows and hardens. Unless another female comes by. The he kicks her out and the new girl moves in after mating.
- Comment on “Star Trek Origin” Movie Reportedly Headed To Greenlight For Production Start In Early 2025 5 days ago:
Recasting one actor for a character that race isn’t an important characteristic isn’t white washing.
The problem with Into Darkness is how bad the writing and acting are. They took one of the most popular Star Trek movies and remade it badly.

Fair

Springtime for Hitler. Somewhat fits. It’s an intentional failure that succeeded.
Popular boondoggle is a term we used to use at work. I’ve never herd it used outside that job though.

Sunk cost fallacy is when you use previous expenditures to justify new expenditures so as not to “waist” the previous expenditure. It doesn’t imply the idea gets more popular like op is looking for.
- Comment on Did something about mass produced ice cream change like 10 years ago? 1 week ago:
Gums like guar and xanth. In small amounts they make ice cream better and help keep ice crystals small. I use them in my homemade ice cream.
Used in larger amounts they replace fat at the cost of taste and mouth feel. That’s what makes the ice cream stay a gel at room temp.

I had no idea that was him. Thanks.
- Comment on Lionsgate CEO on Borderlands bombing at the box-office: "Everything that could go wrong did go wrong" 1 week ago:
The second one has an ok story and great comedy writing. However it’s clever writing that often only works if you are playing the game.
The Claptrap birthday quest is hilarious but can only work if you are the player. The anoying robot throws himself a birthday party and assigns you to deliver the invitations and get the pizza.
A timer flashes on screen and all the locations are marked on the map. So a standard hit all the locations before the timer runs out mission.
Only the timer doesn’t start but you probably don’t notice or think it starts after the first location. You deliver the invitations and each person declines.
You return with the pizza and then the timer starts. The timer is for how long you have to stay at the party as the only person who shows up.
- Comment on Random Screenshots of my Games #47 - Cult of the Lamb 1 week ago:
I loved the idea and humor of the cult management part. Unfortunately most of the the game is terrible hack and slash dungeon combat. I refunded it after an hour.
- Comment on How do Americans win their country back? 1 week ago:
It’s a famous quote. The contradiction is intentional. It means democracy has a lot of problems and often looks terrible. However when you step back and consider the alternatives they are worse.
- Comment on If you eat nothing but smoothies, do you still poop? 2 weeks ago:
In addition to what you said fiber is an important part of poop. An not just as stuff to push through the tract.
A important function of the liver is body detox. One way the liver does that is to package chemicals so they bind to fiber and get flushed out of the system. Lack of fiber can cause those chemicals to stick around and cause more problems.
- Comment on Why are people impressed with SpaceX? 4 weeks ago:
They could reuse the SRB but the cost to refurbish them was like 90% of a new one. So it wasn’t terribly useful.

- Comment on What can I do with US$10K that is a good investment? 1 month ago:
Low risk but inflation is above 3% so you are looking at less than 2% effective granted it’s a fairly safe investment.
- Comment on What can I do with US$10K that is a good investment? 1 month ago:
Money market or CD is going to have terrible return. You will be lucky to match inflation. Get a low overhead SP 500 index fund. By low overhead I’m taking .15% or less. You should be able to find .125% with a bit of poking around.

Ubisoft isn’t making money. That’s something wrong as far as the board is concerned.
- Comment on DarkPattern.games - a website that rates mobile games for their "dark patterns" 1 month ago:
Interestingly enough Luca Galante the creator spent 10 years coding digital slot machines. He used a lot of the techniques used by them to keep you playing. He just did it in a way to maximize fun instead of micro transactions.

Yeah 60c is done for chicken. That’s where meat goes from pink to white.
- Comment on Why do boomers hate squirrels so much? 2 months ago:
They destroy whatever they can. They chew cables, rip siding and nest in insulation. Make wherever they can smell of piss. If you try to grew anything edible they eat the sprouting fruit, nuts, and leaves then start eating the bark and kill the tree.
- Comment on Cords 2 months ago:
I made one of those once by accident. I was talking a long extension cord that had been cut in two and converting it into two smaller cords. I messed up and attached the male to the wrong cable.

Yes. At Disney Eisner was called Lord Fuckwad behind his back. Hence Lord Farquaad.
- Comment on How exactly does one eat 1500 calories a day? 3 months ago:
True.
CICO it’s what is called a bounding condition. It’s true but the CO half is almost impossible to know or predict long term outside of being in a 24 - 7 lab.
Hormones, types of calories, activity, and biology all have a huge effect. And long term even small errors in these numbers can have big impacts on weight.
