  • I don't know at what point in the mythos it was added, but i recall being told by someone more into the fandom that the sabers could be set to different power levels, so when sparring, rather than kill and cut they would just shock the shit out of you or burn.

  • You know, as I was typing that out, I was thinking "why would anyone believe me".

    The complete events that unfolded sound like a story where everyone clapped for me, so instead of sounding like a kid making shit up, I'll just say, it smelled like bananas, I told someone the bees thing, and a week later the place shut down for a few days while a massive honeycomb/hive was removed from the ceiling.

    I read about the smell on cracked in like 2008 and just parroted the info later, which turned out to be true, at least in this case.

  • Yeah. There was a restaurant near me that had a hive in their ceiling, and the whole store smelled like banana

  • With all the over militarized equipment they've deemed necessary to give out traffic tickets, I would assume those have ballot proof windshields

  • That's funny there's only one in my town, and it's facing the Lowes parking lot.

  • It's burnout. They see the headlines everyday, and the flowers just don't seem as bright as they used to.

  • Get handy. Fix things before they go bad, and learn basic construction on the way. Second hand tools are cheap, and there's a number of good youtubers to help in any situation. After you get your bearings, it turns into a fun way to make the place into what you want it to be. Nothing is terribly difficult, and materials can be had cheap if you're not in an emergency. Facebook marketplace allowed me to build a house for 70k over two years, and it's valued at 350k, and not finished yet. The experience gained led me to doing odd side jobs and reselling unused materials to keep paying for new additions. If you can replace your own water heater, you can replace someone elses for half the price of Lowes and still take home 700$ for three hours work. Pick up some resold tile and put in a bathroom wall. You'll find out what you did wrong in your own bathroom and won't mess up someone elses for some extra cash in a pinch.

    Electrical work is my favorite. Know the code, and how to stay safe, and it's a lot of fun that the average person is HORRIFIED of. Get a good electricians multitool, a current tester, a drill and some tape, and you can perform miracles.

    Most people will never afford a house. You don't have to fix it, you get to fix it, so take pride and make it somewhere you love to live.

  • A yacht with a Titan seamoth in either the carribean or Australia to just cruise through some reefs.

  • A response would be defensive action. This is specified as OFFENSIVE action, which we shouldn't be taking unless we are at war.

  • Far cry 5 gives the opposite experience. You get railroaded into missions, but can do whatever you want to during them.

    While getting pushed into missions is a bit irritating, the open gameplay and drop in co op made it one of the most fun games out there. Finding ways to break missions with my friends turned into the real objective of the game.

    One portion, you have to scale a mountain while dodging sniper fire to kill a cult leader at the top, and I spent 15 minutes slowly making my way up to him. As I finally get to the top, before I could make the kill, a friend dropped in and crashed a fighter jet into him, completing the mission.

  • I've been building a house myself for four years. I move in in 3 weeks.

  • Not the original commenter, but what theirs saying stands true. The issue of "sounds legit" is the main driving force in misinformation right now.

    The only way to combat it is to truly gain the knowledge yourself. Accepting things at face value has lead to massive disagreements on objective information, and allowed anti science mindsets to flourish.

    Podcasts are the medium that I give the most blame to. Just because someone has a camera and a microphone, viewers believe them to be an authority on a subject, and pairing this with the "sounds Legit" mindset has set back critical thinking skills for an entire population.

    More people need to read Jurassic park.

  • I see this opinion fairly often, and it honestly confused me. My rig is not a showcase by any means, and I had no issues with sh2 or dead space.

    I'm thinking more people need to optimize their OS.

  • I find the opposite is true gender swapped. Nothing makes a girl more attractive to me than playing bass.

  • Tyler's new album title

  • Giant isopods have been filmed swarming sharks to impede their movement and gill function when the local detritus is lacking nutrients.
