I watched the extended look. There was a very clearly enunciated “what the fuck” about 18 seconds into the video, so there’s that. I guess that’s not enough or something?

I mean if you watch the opening scene of a movie and then stop, have you watched it?

Oh it is serious. That genuinely is the level of quality at the late stage of that man’s career. His movies were mind bogglingly bad. He was probably making them to only to launder money.

Well there actually was this one DC “hero” called Dogwelder who, well, welded dogs to people’s faces. With a welder that looked suspiciously like a plasma cutter. Maybe Batman teamed up with him.

This scene makes me irrationally angry. It is truly one of the worst, laziest “just flail your arms at each other” choreographies out there. It’s not the only one of that kind of lazy movie fighting, but this one bothers me extra with how it doubles down on laziness with that chair. The dudes never even try to get close enough to hit the other. Someone like Jackie Chan would have found a way to creatively use that chair and turn it into an interesting concept for a fight that’s enjoyable to watch but that fat fuck is just sitting there doing nothing. That fucking Ponytail Michelin Man. His music makes me wanna pour acid into my ears too.

Because the indicator stalk broke.
I’m only half kidding. BMW’s been using basically the exact same indicator stalk design for decades and that thing has a flaw where the button at the end of the stalk breaks because its wires snap after years of rubbing against the inside of the stalk. I had to repair mine twice.

Two examples I can think of:
“It’s a tie”, as in a draw, translated to mean “it’s a necktie”
“Roger that” translated to mean “that must be a man named Roger”

As far as I know it’s dangerous play, because you’d be making it impossible for anyone to challenge the ball without things getting dangerous. You’re supposed to defend the ball by using your athleticism to fend off your opponents, not by using medieval battlefield tactics to force a siege.

I’ll confirm everything everyone else said. Hosting your own email server is a major pain in the ass for many unrelated reasons. The mail stack is complex. You need to do a whole bunch of things right to avoid your setup from getting flagged as spam. You need to secure it real well. Hosting it at home is likely to be almost impossible because it is very common for residential internet subscriptions to have the required ports blocked, and the ISPs will very often refuse to open them for you even if you have a nice static IP. Getting around that is not gonna be easy.
There’s a reason why so many ardent homelabbers refuse to touch email hosting with a 10 foot pole.

Ultrasonic vibrations have been successfully used to make cutting tools more effective for a long time. It doesn’t make the cutting edge sharper or amplify the force, it just moves it back and forth slightly, in microscopic imitations of a cutting motion. That does work. Though at the end of the day it won’t magically make a dull knife sharp.
Ultrasonic vibrations have also been successfully used to get shit off of surfaces for a long time too. It is a common and effective method. Though it usually involves a bit more than just shaking the thing, but still…
Theoretically this knife could very well do both of those things. Probably not well enough to be worth 425 dollars, but probably entire useless either.

- Comment on Forza Horizon 6's Japan map is the series' best yet 4 months ago:
I understand the game is not, and never was, story focused. But that doesn’t mean it needs to have the absolute worst, most insufferable dialogue ever written by man. It was so impressively bad in FH5 that turning dialogue volume down to 0 was a very common suggestion to improve the overall experience. If you’re gonna write such low quality dialogue for a game that doesn’t really need it, and then have it voiced over with the absolute worst direction possible so it sounds even worse then it is, then you might as well just leave it out. Nobody’s gonna miss it.

Super silly take. Those aren’t stories, they’re themes. Very vague, general themes.

The reason Smart Person needed to partner up with Complete Dipshit is because he needed Complete Dipshit’s underground connections to 1) acquire some controlled substances using less than legal methods, and 2) to sell what he’s cooked up. Jesse wasn’t there to help with manufacturing, he was there to help with logistics. Walter couldn’t have done those on his own because not even the best chemistry departments at the bestest universities teach you how to steal precursor drugs or cold call psychotic drug lords for exciting new business opportunities.

Tbh there aren’t many modern cars that look like they will last 35 years, and unfortunately that includes the Japanese.

“It’s not final” unfortunately means Gamefreak still have time to scale it down and make it look uglier. As they’ve done in the past.
- Comment on Unhinged... I'm gonna start doing that 6 months ago:
It is an evolution of the old “asdasdasd”, which popped into existence because it’s easier to type into game chat without lifting your left hand off the WASD keys.
I once heard a young man laugh asdasdasd out loud. As in he actually made the sound “asdasdasd” when laughing instead of the more natural haha sound. Bizarre experience it was.

They don’t work well anymore though, that’s the whole point. Bethesda’s codebase is past “mature”, it’s just straight up old and outdated now. Has been for a decade at the very least. Their games have looked and performed noticeably worse than their contemporaries for a good while now.
- Comment on ESL homework 6 months ago:
On our German tests back in hs, there was a vocab section where we’d use words in sentences. I didn’t know one of the words in one of the tests, so I wrote “ich weiß nicht was <word> bedeutet”, which means “I don’t know what <word> means”. Our teacher accepted that one with a laugh, but said it was a one time thing and it would not be allowed again. People still tried their luck with similar tricks after that, but got nothing.
Me, I was just surprised she’d never seen that in her career before. I wasn’t expecting to get any points for that. Thought she for sure would have had other smartass students like me.

I did once jump into a cab and said “follow that car”. Let me tell you man, it felt great. Was amazing. The other car was a friend’s and we were going somewhere together as a large group, but still. I recommend everyone at least do that once in their lives. Such a thrill. 10/10.

- Comment on Forza Horizon 6 - Official Gameplay Teaser Trailer 7 months ago:
FH5’s characters were some of the most insufferable NPCs I’ve ever encountered in any game, which is an accomplishment for a game that really didn’t need that much story or character dialogue anyway to begin with. I’m not even exaggerating when I say the game is easily better when their voice slider is set to 0. They’re actually a net negative for the experience. It’s an outrageous combination of top shelf cringe being voiced by some unskilled VAs under the direction of someone who should never have had that job.
- Comment on How to reduce the crime rate to 0 8 months ago:
I think I see what she’s trying to say. Something along the lines of “normally legal things can become illegal if it can be proven that you’re doing them with criminal intent”. Like you’re buying a car for example, which would be legal. But if someone can prove that you’re buying that car with the explicit purpose of using it to run someone over in a preplanned assault, then it can be treated as illegal. Which might have been too much for the translator to reduce into a short and accurate one liner.
Maybe she’s just an idiot though, who knows. I don’t even know if that’s how the law works over there.
