Sword, bat, laser gun, wand. Not for using directly, but for throwing.

Anything that can be chucked at my opponents face gives me time to rush in and combo them.

One of my best friends was a dude from Philadelphia who was a republican who became friends with the mortal enemy of the republican party

He became friends with the concept of education?

Nope, they aren't brown enough to be on the list.

Soyboy stealth archer has to slowly sneak around and line up shots one at a time. If spotted, he must hide, or run, until aggro drops and he can start sneaking again.

Chad two-handed weapon user boldly charges in and power attacks anything that moves until all that's left are bloody corpses. When spotted, enemies will rush him, saving him the trouble of having to hunt them down.

Hard no. Extremely hard no. This is the kind of crap our parents would make and serve.

For anyone with taste buds, let's be abundantly clear on something: steaming vegetables is perhaps the WORST way to cook them.

Unless you are eating them raw, or using them as an ingredient in a larger dish, almost all vegetables should be roasted/grilled to bring out and caramelize their natural sugars. Steaming them strips away a lot of the nutrients and flavors, leaving you with tasteless mush. Like you're cooking the soul out of them and leaving only a sad memory of what they could have been.

Buddy, this is a pathetic coping mechanism. You want so badly to believe they are miserable, because you just can't fathom that life would be so unfair as to make them happy.

As the lone liberal in a large family of conservatives, let me tell you, they're not miserable. My family group chat has been filled with happy vacation photos, play date arrangements for kids, jokes, and laughter.

The truth is, most conservatives don't actually care about "sticking it to the libs"; they just don't give a shit at all. They don't listen to the news, they don't talk about politics, they don't have any significant worries. They go to their straight, white, Christian churches; talk to their straight, white, Christian friends; and discuss how great their straight, white, Christian families are.

Of course they have fear and hatred of anything that isn't straight, white, or Christian; but that by no means makes them unhappy. They live in their bubbles, and inside their bubble, everything is nice and perfect. It's those filthy liberals, who were so cruel as to occasionally make them look outside of their bubble, that were the real problem. And now that they're out of office and they never have to leave or look outside their bubbles again, everything is once again perfect. Just perfect.

Also a lot of people between 110 and 150, so I'm sure there is a larger answer.

However, Social Security cuts off at 115, and they supposedly found like 10 million people older than that. Considering there are only ~50m people on Social Security, and the database they were searching wasn't even about current recipients, most people would conclude that there is likely an error in data, rather than immediately jump to fraud. Of course, ketamine is a hell of a drug and Elon is not most people.

Nah, this is crazier. Ignore the DEI angle and this is a state suing a company for the crime of not being profitable. That's way more out of the norm than a racist gunman shooting people because he's racist.

Early in my engineering career, I was told that a screw hole on a part needed to be increased one size. Not knowing any better, I increased the size but made the thread count the same. Little did I know that the machine shop head had recently gotten unfairly grilled by management about following engineering drawings to a T, and had adopted an attitude of malicious compliance. So rather than reach out to engineering to check if they really needed this obscure thread size, he instead just went ahead and purchased a new $7000 threading tool for that size that would never be used again.

I learned a lot that day about common fastener sizes and to always be nice to the machine shop head.

I mean, he was incredibly rich. That probably helped.

This is such a dumb take. I don't trust raw milk, but those that do aren't arguing it won't spoil at room temperature. Like, I support buying local, free-range chicken meat. But if someone came up to me and said "Oh yea? Well if you like chicken without antibiotics and preservatives, why do you still refrigerate it?!" I'd look at them like a fucking idiot.

Maybe recognize that your partner doesn't ascribe as much meaning to arbitrary dates and that silently expecting them to do something is a toxic mentality. I hope you realize you're not teaching them any sort of lesson, you are intentionally setting yourself up to be disappointed/upset at your partner for not following the rules of a game they didn't know you were playing.

Especially these days. Don't you think it's possible they have other things on their mind? I know I do. Between trying to figure out how to pay bills, figuring out how to save a little so we can retire some day, thinking about how stressful my job is, thinking about all the chores that need to be done, worrying about the health of myself and my family, worrying about car/home repairs, keeping insurance/registrations/enrollments/appointments/documents all up to date, and the endless struggle of what we're having for dinner tonight; there's just not a whole lot of mental space left for reading my partner's mind and fulfilling their unspoken expectations.

You say this has been happening for years. Ever think that it's just not something that's going to change? That you're expecting a fish to climb a tree unprompted and then getting upset with the fish when it doesn't?

Grow the fuck up. Be a partner to your partner. How hard is it to say "Hey, I'd like to feel special on Valentine's Day. It's important to me."?

No, they used Telegram because they're idiots and don't understand privacy.

30 years of watching progressive movements flounder and civil action lead to absolutely zero substantial changes has given me a defeatist attitude. What good is getting mad? It's not like it will change anything.

Found the non-American.

As nice as it was to make the brush strokes with the wiimote, there were some glaring gameplay issues with the Wii version. The biggest was definitely basic attacks. You attacked by jiggling the wiimote, but the damn thing was so finicky that only 1 of the 3 weapon types could be used reliably. The recognition of brush strokes was also extremely difficult. You couldn't do slow strokes, and it was really bad at recognizing complex patterns. It wasn't so much a problem when just doing simple strokes in the early game, but some of the more advanced ones were downright impossible.

Ok, but Musk hasn't said what his intention was. You get that, right? Musk has not clarified what his intention was with that salute. Doesn't that seem just the tiniest bit suspicious to you?

See, if I had done something so boneheadingly stupid as an accident, I would immediately be putting out statements clarifying that it wasn't a Nazi salute. It's what we would expect any reasonable person to do.

Elon Musk himself has not denied that it was a Nazi salute.

Why do you think he's refused to clarify?

So folks have already explained the stick, but you're actually somewhat close to one of the ways you can sort of bend the rules of FTL, at least when it comes to a group of photons.

Instead of a stick, imagine a laser on earth pointed at one edge of the moon. Now suddenly shift the laser to the other side of the moon. What happens to the laser point on the moon's surface?

Well, it still takes light speed (1.3 seconds to the moon) for the movement to take effect, but once it starts, the "point" will "travel" to the other side faster than light. It's not the same photons; and if you could trace the path of the laser, you'd find that the photons space out so much that there are gaps like a dotted line; but if you had a set of sensors on each side of the moon set up to detect the laser, they would find that the time between the first and second sensor detecting the beam would be faster than what light speed would typically allow.

It's not exactly practical, and it's such an edge case that I doubt we can find a good way to use it, but yeah; FTL through arc lengths can kind of be a thing. At least if you tilt your head and squint funny at it.

Cuz even if I'm semi-conscious, I'm still in my warm cocoon of heavy blankets where there are no problems and no people to bother me. There are some mornings I would give up nearly anything for just 5 more minutes.
