Ok, so now I’m wondering if Milton read the Gnostic texts. I’m still amazed that the church approved the publication of Paradise Lost, much less Paradise Regained.

Spiffing brit introduced me to a mod that has me installing Skyrim again. It overhauls the leveling system so that you get incremental somewhat random stat boosts per kill. Seems like an interesting way to avoid the main quest, and the civil war.

Mustard, like yellow or brown mustard spread, or mustard powder (the spice) I could see adding some mustard powder to Mac and cheese. Not the other two.
Mustard spread just seems to indicate that they’ve burnt out their taste buds and need extremely strong flavors to taste anything.

TBH, I don’t know. I use team and trolley interchangeably to mean “light rail.” Heavy rail/ full sized rail is what I consider to be a train.
- Comment on Building a neighborhood like this in North America would cause a civil war 1 week ago:
Allowing any cars to drive on the tracks seems dangerous. There was a lady in San Diego that ended up stuck on the trolley tracks like 20 feet in the air. I have no clue how she ended up up there.

Only slightly tongue in cheek. Over here in the US we have some trams and trolleys. I don’t remember seeing turn signals on them though. Cars are expected to avoid the rather large vehicle.
- Comment on Building a neighborhood like this in North America would cause a civil war 1 week ago:
What cars? I see lots of bikes, a couple trams, and some pedestrians. No cars. Also trains famously don’t turn themselves. The points/switches turn them.

Why do the trams have turn signals?

I had the Internet well before that pinball game existed. Windows 95 wouldn’t even exist for almost a decade when we got Internet. IRC made me the lifelong pirate I am today.
- Comment on To those who think the economy will never get good enough to afford basic necessities (and you're probably right), what will you do to not only survive, but enjoy life with the only life you have? 1 week ago:
Just an FYI. I don’t know if they do it anymore, but one of my Exes and I would buy a single season pass to King’s Island the November before the next season. The reason we did this is that we would pay $70 for that pass and gold parking lot privileges. That would get us a second pass. Those two passes allowed us in all of the next year, with free parking, and up to two free guests per visit. It also included many parks, such as Busch Gardens, and King’s Dominion, IIRC. This was back in the '00s-'10s

- Comment on Paris, France 2 weeks ago:
Our police love the optics of having military gear, but quite frankly they aren’t trained and versed on military tactics, discipline, or a number of other things that would make them effective. That’s why when there’s a real problem like a school shooting or hostage situation they just stand around sucking each other off while wearing body army and holding $1500 AR’s. They’re just security theater. They care about getting easy overtime. They want to go home at the end of the day. They don’t want to die violently. They are paper tigers.
Weird, that perfectly describes the cops in the US.
Oh and militarized just means giving the cops military equipment, mostly armored vehicles and projectile launchers that wouldn’t normally be used in civilian work. Police are civilians, and I think they understand that in France better than anywhere, because you don’t allow them military vehicles and gear to fight the populace. Unfortunately, no other country got the message. We give MRAPS to our thugs with badges. It’s hard to fight back, even when you have pistols, shotguns, and rifles, when the thugs with badges have crowd control weapons. Sonic inhibitors, UV dispersal units, and lethal options like their standard issue AR-15.
- Comment on new Tesla Roadster prototype 2 weeks ago:
You do glide. The rotor providing lift isn’t connected to anything, the lift is provided by horizontal speed. You’d have to literally hit a building, a mountain, or power lines to crash the things. You don’t need a pilots license to operate them, because you basically can’t crash them and the entire aircraft weighs quite a bit less than a car.
- Comment on new Tesla Roadster prototype 2 weeks ago:
Gyrocoptors. They’re closer to a flying car, since if you can drive a car, you can legally fly a gyrocoptor in the US. Just remember to file flight plans, and watch out for power lines.
- Comment on Staying productive 2 weeks ago:
If you hated those tests, you misunderstood how much power they gave you. Until my Sophomore year in high school, the campus was open. This meant that we could walk across the street and get lunch at McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Dairy Queen, or Kroger. Then the school board decided that they didn’t have enough control of us during our lunch period if we could leave the campus, so they attempted to close the campus.
That lasted all of about 4 days. The smartest seniors in the school came around and got the top 5 testers in each grade to agree to boycott the standardized tests, and we started holding sit-in protests. Just 20 kids.
The thing the seniors knew, and explained to us is that those tests didn’t affect us at all. Universities don’t look at those test results. Only the government does. By the 20 of us threatening not to take the test, their scores would have plummeted that year, as would their federal funding. Needless to say they waited until every single middle schooler and high schooler that was attending at the time had graduated before they tried that shit again.

I found the podcast when Nathan Fillion and Alan Tudyk were guests. I maintain that Jon and Brent invited them on mainly to complain that Nathan and Alan had a better podcast name.
