  How tf can hyperdrive exist but screws haven’t been invented lol

  I think the real issue is that prop design has fallen so far from the ILM heyday. Now it’s best described as follows:

  Pics or it didn’t happen

  (lol just kidding. what you’re describing is almost as bad as unscrewing a security flathead screw. look it up. invented by Satan, with help from Brian Thompson)

  Ngl if I didn’t have impact drivers I’d probably hate Phillips screws a whole lot more

  Easiest, yes. And wheels are easier than repulserlifts. If sometime said “Ya know, greasing axels sucks balls. Let’s invent something better”, they probably developed something better than the shittiest screw head in the history of sentience.

  But that’s just, like, my opinion man

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The torque better not be too strong with this one⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You clearly haven’t had to screw a flathead screw.

  Anyone that’s dicked around with those little bastards starts hating life after about thirty seconds. A fastener I can screw in a without having to be perfectly in line with the shaft? Yes please! I don’t care if it’s a shitty Phillips screw, sign me up. I’d even take those goofy square Canadian screws. Hell, anything is better than flathead.

  I challenge you to find a screw worse to use than a flathead screw.

  Short Circuit.

  It… has not aged well. The practical effects are decent, and the comedy is okay. The brown-face? Not so much. NGL tho, Fischer Stevens had some great lines:

  Howard: What if it goes out and melts down a bus load of nuns? How would you like to write the headline on that one!?

  Benjamin: Nun soup?

  You see those warriors from Hammerfell? They’ve got curved swords. Curved. Swords.

  Wait, people don’t like that movie?

  That’s like not liking Tommy Boy. Or Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid

  Figured it had something to do with fleas

  I would watch this episode of Black Adder

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I've always wanted to see Seattle.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Funny, last night my wife and I were greeted by the shithole that is SEA, followed by a 45 minute wait for a shuttle to the car rental place. That airport is a joke.

  (We’re exploring this part of the country, camping along the way and flying back home from Butte. If we were staying in Seattle we’d just use public transit/taxis)

  Ollie went to the neighborhood dance

  And he won the big door prize

  It was a toilet brush, and he took it home,

  And next week some of the guys

  They said, "Ollie how’s that toilet brush?

  “The one you won from the neighbors?”

  Ollie said, "It works pretty good,

  “But I prefer toilet paper”

  Clearly, based on your responses, you don’t think AI/LLMs are universally bad. And anyone who is that easily swayed by what is essentially a clever shitpost likely also thinks the earth is flat and birds aren’t real.

  You know. Morons.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI Artefacting⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I appreciate it <3

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI Artefacting⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If cats looked like frogs we’d realize what nasty, cruel little bastards they are. Style. That’s what people remember.

  Hey what’s the difference between Shattered Pixel Dungeon and Pixel Dungeon ML?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Using Vines to Filter Swamp Water⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This was really interesting. Thank you OP!

  If you’re not in a position to watch the video, the tl;dw: is that plant xylem cell structure allows water to pass but is too small for bacteria to pass, creating not just a large particle filter but a bacterial filter as well. Note that viruses can also pass

  There’s lots more, he talks about a study on this, has the water tested for e-coli, and talks about some of the conditions that optimize this filtration method, asking other things. Go watch it if you can

  Ray Belli is amazing and I’ve failed to learn so many things from his podcast because as soon as he starts speaking my mind wanders. It’s like the audio version of reading the same paragraph four times because my brain decides to think about something else while my eyes move across the page
