Roston Bynamics was found to actually be Boston Dynamics with some 100mph tape slapped over the logo.

I'm still using a 1070ti and hitting stable 60fps with newer games. Medium to low settings, usually but most slow down comes from poor optimization since I'm running a 12th Gen and regularly see medium usage on both GPU and CPU.

Called once to ask, they said go to urgent care.

Then billed me for a telehealth visit and also the Urgent Care billed me too.

SNL is very much a combination of both humor from two years ago and next years mainstream. So many of the skits are built in the gap of "what have I seen lately that's funny so I can quickly write" and "this will be twice as hilarious in a few years."

So, SNL is usually pretty meh because you either like current humor and the 'future' stuff doesn't hit or you don't like current humor and that doesn't hit.

But that's your store. Vance was saying Eggs were $4 while standing in front of a sign saying "Eggs $2.99" and complaining about egg prices in the area, while blaming Harris for making eggs $4.

He could've stood in front of the $2.99 sign to only show the more expensive eggs. He could've gone to a "higher end" store to find those $7 eggs. He could've just stood in a different part of the store. But his crew looked at the backdrop and said "eh, go for it." and did.

Harris isn't responsible for the price of eggs anyway. There's no "Vice Presidential Office of Egg Prices" she presides over.

Anime woman looks more mad though. Like I wouldn't want to turn my back on her after the picture. Real person looks on the verge of tears. Less like she's going to kill me, therefore less attractive.

I feel like I wouldn't talk about that with my cousins, so kudos for the openness.

Didn't have precision munitions back then. Didn't have drones that can monitor the battlefield from across the globe and provide real-time video feeds.

Besides, in this case, Israel is playing Germany's role.

Tell that to the Veteran legally open carrying in Texas who was shot by an asshole who felt threatened. The asshole was pardoned.

For completeness, the asshole was also in the Army but that's mostly unrelated to his racism and murder of a fellow Servicemember.

Someone has never seen Snatch, have they?

I like to dress up. Reminds me to be a portion of myself. I'm not me, I'm work me.

I hate to dress up. The same me who's trusted with people's lives is the same me who sits around in shorts and flip flops. Why lie to everyone I meet?

I like to dress up. It's a socially acceptable mask to wear.

The ludicrousness is the point. "Capture a creature in a ball"... How close is that to Red Dead's lasso? Could Nintendo patent capturing a creature with a rope? Does anyone hold that patent yet? No, it would be silly to try to patent something like that - yet at one point I'm certain it was someone's "technique" while everyone else was jumping on the horses back like Breath of the Wild.

Yeah, controller is really the only exciting thing.

Imagine if you had a hammer and decided to use it to hit a nail and then someone came along and said "I see you're using my method to build a house! Pay up!"

Well, you can't patent something like that!

Imagine you open up a game engine, any engine, and decide you need to point to an objective so you decide to use an arrow. A game company says "You're using our method to identify objectives! Pay up!" and that one is a unique mechanic?

How long has humanity been using arrows to point to things? How can you patent it just because it's a digital arrow?

I dunno if I could manage to spend $30 just to be reminded of something that'll be forgotten by December...

Are you sure you're not a Sony Psyop to get us all to buy Concord merch to help recoup the loss?

You can tell a lot about that site, since Texas and New Hampshire are empty.

This was a while back, so not the last time but probably one of my biggest wtfs.

Anyway, In Iraq, in a tower surrounded by sandbag and hesco walls. The night guard shifts kept pissing in bottles and tossing it over the walls instead of just pissing anywhere else or just throwing the piss bottles in the trash so at the change over the Sergeant of the Guard said that we had to make the guys getting relieved stand by because they're gonna have to go clean all that up. Mind you this is outside of the wire in Iraq - not that it's particularly dangerous but we were still getting bombed nightly. Anyway, I rock up to the tower and let them know to standby and the SOG rolls up behind me and tells them what's up.

I kid you not, this dude looks at him and says "Can we at least downgrade our gear?" You could probably hear my laughter across the whole FOB. He just said "Can I take off my vest and helmet before I head out of the wire?"

I shouted down "I can cover you but that won't stop any rounds that come your way," and the SOG just said "What? No, fuck, are you kidding?"

Then I baked in the 100+°F sun while I watched adults pick up piss bottles in the desert.

Technically the triangle just refers to 'relationships' and not 'romantic relationships' so two male friends and one female love interest works as a triangle but one woman with two male strangers doesn't with because that's just a V.

This was a movie that I'd seen one day and promptly forgot the name of it. I tried in vain to find out years later. I asked my mom and she had no idea what I was talking about. I asked everyone and no one even knew. I was convinced it was a fever dream or something.

Until I heard Tech N9ne's Everybody Move and he said "Falling Down like Michael Douglas" and it was a core memory unlocked and I finally got to watch it again.

It was every bit as good as I remember.
