  • To be fair, these quarter pounders became "in-n-out" burgers too

  • Just FYI that cleaning spark plugs is actually a thing. Not common but sometimes they can get 'fouled' from things like oil or incorrect air/fuel mixtures.

  • Sure everyone knows about the east coast, but less talked about is the Republic of Westralia

  • Imagine if the world could get its shit together for a planned 4 week lockdown, everyone has ample time to prepare, get supplies and set up for the lockdown, then we simultaneously all hunker down except for the most vital people running essential services (hospitals, water plants, power plants, etc).
    We could wipe out so many transmissible viruses, even wiping out the common cold alone would pay back the entire cost in lost business hours.
    Im not saying we wipe out things to be able to work more, but wouldn't you rather be at work than feeling terrible in bed? (It's about the quality of life improvement.)

  • I honestly don't get why people are still shocked when this happens.

    Time and time again the church has become a haven for predators to hide, be protected and have blind trust access to victims.
    People blindly believe it's never their priest.

    Im not saying its not horrifying to find out that someone you think is a good person turns out to in fact be terrible, but all members of churches should have their guard up around their children and show some fucking critical thinking for once.

  • Me too, i even asked Autodesk about linux support and they pretty much said use IOS instead or come back when Linux has >5% market share.

    Uh, yeah thanks for giving me an option just as shitty as the current system and practically saying "we charge you THOUSANDS per year for our product but we would rather do incremental updates on useless features because the core product is practically perfect instead of allowing competition to the MS/Apple monopoly"

  • The timing was a big factor too, it was like only a day or so after the attempt and while everyone was trying to calm down the situation and condemn the assassination attempt so as not to incite any other people for doing the same or reaction to the attempt, and then he goes and says that, it was very against the grain of the moment.
    Bit of a [tragedy+time=comedy] but the time hadnt passed yet so the edge was too sharp

  • Wittenoom was an asbestos mining town, it was the whole reason for the towns existence. They believed at the time that not only was asbestos safe but they would spread blue asbestos out on the ground around their houses and paths on purpose (for some reason, i forget why exactly, might have been as an insect deterrent or something).
    So this wouldnt be that weird for them, like a coal mining town digging buckets of coal.

  • Me too, once held too long when i was busy and kept hitting the 'snooze button' on going all day long, end of the day i dropped something that resembled a hand grenade, with the little square-ish ridges and everything. The pain, the relief, the lasting butthole tenderness afterwards.

  • At the end of my days
    Laying in hospital bed
    Wits gone
    Turn to nurse as she walks in

  • Metalcore.

    I love the raw emotion you can hear and feel in harsh vocals, usually the lyrics and themes explored in this genre are best expressed with screams, and sometimes its the only appropriate way to rail against injustices and corruption or express the anguish and headache of emotional struggles.

    I also love the contrast that clean vocals provide, usually with pop-like hooks soaring into catchy choruses or just to really bring a juxtaposition with the harsh vocals to give even more depth to the things that are sung and the things that need to be screamed. And sometimes the heart wrenching emotion that the cleans can provide [listen to Gone With the Wind by Architects]. (Note: not all metalcore has both clean and harsh vocals, but often a combination of both)

    And the music itself is high energy, driving beats rapid double bass drum patterns and catchy guitar riffs with often unpredictable tempo changes and transitions to take you by surprise and keep your brain buzzing with anticipation, and not to gloss over the breakdowns. Oh when that tempo drops, guitars chugg and the drums start crashing china cymbals like a thunderstorm erupting around your head and you just feel the need to bang your head feeling like your heart is beating out of your chest and electricity is coursing through your veins.

    Anyways, i think its pretty good music.

  • I get this sometimes if i wear my black work polo to a shop after i finish work, though i take a small bit of satisfaction in saying 'yeah no idea mate' and turn and walk off and keep browsing. They usually stare for a few seconds with mouth open before they realise the assumption/mistake they have made

  • Bet the fucker has prions so thats a no from me dawg

  • Its tradition around here to add a little extra hot sauce for the last dab

  • I wish people would get off their heil horse and see he is just trying to find a solution

  • In this case perhaps a catapult would be better, it may be inferior but as such it will involve a longer swim back home to lesser Taiwan
