- Comment on what can I use to cushion my knee when exercising with it on the floor so it doesn't hurt? 3 days ago:
Google “Knee sleeves” literally designed for the purpose.
- Comment on What do zoos do with dead animals? 3 days ago:
A local zoo has a “taxidermy department” and noteworthy animals are preserved or skinned and the skins sold to friends of the zoo.
Its kept very secret because it would be publicly unpopular. A friends dad has a mountain lion skin because he is a contractor who does a lot of work for the zoo and did a few jobs for them that NEEDED to be done basically for cost when they were suffering some financial troubles. They gave him the pelt as a Xmas present.
- Comment on Democrats bet on women showing up in force. They didn’t. 6 days ago:
Its an unpopular take but I stand by it, Feminists blaming sexist men for Trumps victory is absolute bullshit and sounds just like Trumpists blaming everything on “woke” culture.
Misogynists are the enemy of feminists, they were always going to vote against a woman. I expect my enemy to fight me, why arent the feminists making a giant fucking ruckus about the TRAITORS to their own gender?
- Comment on Yes, very much 1 week ago:
I generally go with “so I guess I’ll just go fuck myself” or “then she woke up talking bout pressing charges so I pulled my dick out her ass and left”
- Comment on On a lighter note: Why do people still buy fast food? 1 week ago:
Because when its good, and I mean everything is correct… its fucking amazing.
Last time I got Kentucky it was all perfect. The bun was fresh, the lettuce was fresh, just the right amount of mayo, the chicken was hot and crunchy. The chips were hot, fresh and had just too much enough salt and the pepsi was just a shade away from being frozen. It was the best chicken burger I’ve had in recent memory.
Now, this was an isolated incident. Normally I wind up slightly disappointed in something. But when its right…

Hate to break it to you, we’re still near the top of the heap.
Honestly him getting re-elected is the first time in my life where I felt the absolute gravity of “Oh, THIS is white privilege” like theres no fuckin nuance to this. I’m straight, white and middle aged. If I say the right things I’ll probably be fine, not much is going to change for me.
I cant say the same for a lot of other people.
- Comment on [Même] Which movie was this for you? 1 week ago:
Generally yes, but sometimes…
The Martian was a great book and a GREAT movie. Ridley Scott made visuals better than my imagination.
- Comment on Is there as much enthusiasm for Trump online today as eight years ago? 2 weeks ago:
Agreed, I think the diehards have gotten much louder and the people who saw him as a catalyst for change have gotten a whole lot quieter.
I admit that I very much didnt think it was a good thing when he got elected but I did think “Maybe he will piss off a few people who need pissing off, upset some apple carts and generally upset the status quo and MAYBE be a catalyst for change some of which for the good.” Yeah… it wasnt.
- Comment on In the era of remakes and remasters, what niche game would you like to see receive the treatment? 2 weeks ago:
NFS Underground 2. I will pay full price on preorder to EA.
Thats 3 promises broken at once.
- Comment on 'It Has Plateaued': Should We Be Worried About Console Gaming's Future? 3 weeks ago:
Because Nintendo games on Nintendo handhelds almost never go wrong and you know what parents love? Their kids shit always just working. You dont have to check the system specs, you buy the game at the store and it WORKS. You wrap the game under a tree at Xmas, you can tell grandma “Nintendo Switch” and while she might pick something shit, its going to work.
Lemmings love to act like they are enlightened for figuring out the Steam deck is better… its not for you. Its for 5 to 10 year olds.
- Comment on Mine's a Juicer 4 weeks ago:
Except you cant use that one to dothe crumbly ground beef trick. They are good if you only ever use them to mash potatoes.
- Comment on Mine's a Juicer 4 weeks ago:
Not just A potato masher, its THE potato masher. If you dont have that thick af metal wire one you have an inferior potato masher.
- Comment on Carb Party! 4 weeks ago:
I didnt know this until recently either. Its interesting once you start to read the ingredients breakdown on things that have “Protein!” on the label only to realise that (like on the oats I dont buy anymore) it had 4 grams per serving of protein more, but it was just added wheat gluten which has a PDCAAS of .25 so like an extra gram of protein thats actually useful for muscle building…
- Comment on Carb Party! 4 weeks ago:
I hate to be all “ackchually” but wheat protein kind of sucks for muscle building. Its only about 50% as digestable and effective as the best sources, its still a better source than processed AF white bread if you cant give up the sandwiches. A great many “protein enhanced” things like oats just dump in a bunch of wheat gluten.
It still mostly counts towards your daily goals for average people but anyone looking for “gains” should be aiming to get 50% from “high quality” sources like milk protein, eggs, meat and soy.
- Comment on Why, in English at least, is the letter W called "double U" and not "double V"? 5 weeks ago:
Whats the keyboard shortcut for that?

Yes, I did dun goof.

Yeah, edited that for clarity. Thanks.

Thats a bit simplistic.
Caffiene has a half life of 5 hours, which is to say in 5 hours your average person will have metabolised half the dose. So if you have 200mg at lunch time, at 5pm your still feeling the effects of 100mg, it could take 10 hours to completely clear your system. If you’re sensitive to Caffiene,have a low tolerance or metabolise it slower you might have trouble sleeping before midnight.
I have a biblical tolerance, I’m up at 4am for work and I’m on a pretty serious cutting diet. I have my preworkout can at 3:30 and have no trouble sleeping at 8:30 to 9pm.

I should have said “The original Jack3d” They took the DMAA out which was what made Jack3d kick ass in the first place.
- Comment on every damn morning 1 month ago:
Nah they took Jack3d off the market.

Yes it was. It was so frigging good.
- Comment on Ubisoft's Board is Launching an Investigation Into The Company Struggles 1 month ago:
They do damn near 10/10 work when they give a fuck, Thats probably the worst part.
Siege was damn near perfect as a tactical competitive shooter for the first few years. The Division was great, Just Cause was enormous fun and so on.
The problem is they hit a winner, and then milk it and milk it and milk it until we hate it or them.

- Comment on James Cameron says future Terminator projects won't include characters from past movies 1 month ago:
Mini series is such an underrated platform.
It commits the creator to a fixed duration but doesnt force you into the movie trilogy paradigm.
- Comment on James Cameron says future Terminator projects won't include characters from past movies 1 month ago:
Take Band of Brothers, Terminator salvation and the intro to T2. Put it into a blender, and serve with a light topping of Edge of Tomorrow

- Comment on Wild times in a wild world 2 months ago:
You dont notify the government directly, you notify the news desks of MSNBC, Fox, ABC and the major newspapers. Do it via express postage envelopes a few days out, include any publicly available info on hijackers, flight numbers and times.
The Government might ignore it as a hoax, but not if they know that the information has come via every major news outlet in the country. They have to act.
