I don’t think most gen alphas are tall enough to use a post driver effectively. I’ve got early model alphas and they are barely 5’4".

Congratulations! That looks like a Hubley cast iron cat doorstop. I had one as a kid and they are all over eBay.

That’s why balloons! You can have sick blimps on Venus and IIRC you can capture atmospheric gasses to burn as fuel for them and to create water too.

Not at the time this happened. Aaron’s case was one of the motivating factors that led to the Open Access publication movement gaining enough traction that authors could publish that way. JSTOR access is paid for and administered on college campuses by libraries and librarians as a whole field felt terrible both about the paid publication system and the way Aaron was treated. As a community of professionals, the Librarian and Information Science community pushed very hard for the adoption of Open Access publishing into the Academic community.

Only here for everyone else who got Ace of Base’s “Wheel of Fortune” stuck in their head after this post.

Yeah, Baldur’s Gate 3 for certain. Shadowheart, Astariaon and Wyll, left to right. The red icon mean Wyll has 70% chance to hit with that Eldritch Blast.

I was at a party with a bunch of friends getting pumped of a night of partying and the news stopped the party completely. Killed the vibe and we had a quiet night in. It was erie how it affected people.

Source on his being innocent? I don’t remember that being even likely given the evidence, but it’s been like 35 years so I’m curious what came to light.

All y’all getting preachy about *don’t", think about how our society treats alcohol and then tell me how drugs are different enough to be “bad” when alcohol is legal and widespread.

My spouse a co-op partner have our co- battle station in our bedroom due to a tiny house so when we rebuilt our desktops we opted for totally opaque cases from BeQuiet and they are great!

Calling it Lemonade might prove to be a problem because there’s an understood meaning for the word lemonade that doesn’t involve caffeine. They could have marketed it as lemon-flavored but calling it lemonade and putting it next to the regular lemonade could be construed as them trying to hide the caffeine content from consumers.
- Comment on When a place is called " Heights", what does "heights" mean/refer to? 10 months ago:
High street is an alternative term for Market and used in towns where Market Street is not used. None of them are really the highest street in town, at least not in the US East Coast. The actual elevated places are usually called -view.
- Comment on I don't know, I haven't played the game yet. 10 months ago:
A lot like Vampire Survivor, the hook is that it starts pretty simple and it ramps the difficulty every minute that passes but you’re constantly able to buy more items with powerful effects. By 15 minutes in it’s a starting to be overwhelming and by 30 minutes in you are doing a LOT of clicking and there’s countless hordes of enemies but because of the particular combination of items you’ve picked up, you’re still alive and every shot causes a chain reaction of other effects. Or you get a combination of items that doesn’t mesh terribly well and something gets a lucky shot in and you’re dead at minute 22 with no warning.
Also the items are mysterious and you’re always finding totally new ones you’ve never seen before and their powers are wildly different. The story of the game is more told in the item descriptions you can only read in the loading menu than any other single place. I’ve played 1000s of hours and still refer to the wiki before trying to tell the “story” of the game.
The intricate level designs, complex item interactions, and the rocking soundtrack are also worth mentioning because they are substantially above average for a game of this type.

I’ve had IKEA Family for many years and honestly had NO IDEA it offered a discount on purchases. I’m not sure if they just didn’t advertise this very well at the start or it hasn’t been offered for very long.
We’ve been using it for free coffee, wifi in the store and savings on deliveries. 5% is not much of a discount but it’s adds up.
For those of you who don’t know, this wasn’t a paid membership. I think we entered our email at a store kiosk at they either gave or mailed us a orange card.

Because he was in a managerial position Keyes was not eligible for union membership.
Sounds like someone’s salty that they joined management too early.

That was Dungeon of the Endless. Endless Dungeon released today and is totally new.
- Comment on Can you take the lint from your dryer and make clothing? 11 months ago:
As someone who spins and felts, the fibers in lint are too short for felting too. Both spinning and deleting require the fibers be long enough to tangle and lint is the broken pieces of fibers that have fallen out of threads already. You can get it to stick together like felt but it won’t ever be sturdy like a felt because the fibers can’t get wrapped around one another or tangled up. Like trying to give dreadlocks to a guy with a buzz cut.
Some people use dryer felt to add color to felted things they have made but I think of lint like the crumbs at the bottom of the cereal box or chip bag.
- Comment on Disney Mocked for Ludicrously Fake CGI "Actors" in Crowd Scene 11 months ago:
I was thinking more from the marketing perspective " We keep your data on our servers!" verses “We keep your data in the cloud!” since the point was that the marketers of these things in particular are fucking up the terminology.
If you are already in possession of a server then you’re probably aware it’s not a cloud.
- Comment on Disney Mocked for Ludicrously Fake CGI "Actors" in Crowd Scene 11 months ago:
The same way they convinced everyone that they should say “cloud” instead of 'on our servers."
They stopped saying “algorithm” and started saying “AI”
Once it’s used as a marketing term, the technical term loses all meaning in conversational language.
- Comment on Today's history lesson 11 months ago:
While being totally wrong because it wasn’t called Alfredo at the time and wouldn’t be until like 1930s, they did often put oil, herbs, and cheese on pasta before the popularity of the tomato so you are still correct.
