The Big Lebowski

The strobe light problem might also be caused by putting a LED that's not dimmer-compatible on a dimmer switch

I expect he's going to say he didn't mean that he fabricated the story, but instead meant that he "created the story" in the sense of bringing it to the media's attention

You can get that good, scurvy-busting vitamin C from meat just fine, all you have to do is eat it raw

Motherfucker put a trigger warning on that shit

Hang on, am I reading that correctly? You had nightmares for 7 years?

I think it was rated PG-13, not R

In fact it was rated PG. The resulting backlash, along with a similar situation with Gremlins, directly resulted in the MPAA creating the PG-13 rating.

Wicked Game in my ass

Do you have a moment to talk about our Lord and Saviour, Zalgo?

I mean, I’m still not getting an EV. But now I am tempted… Maybe if they had real, physical dials instead of a computer screen?

That, unfortunately, is the tendency for the entire auto industry. It's not an EV-specific thing, although admittedly Tesla is the worst offender

urine is sterile

Not by the time it exits your body, no. Urine is sterile when it leaves the bladder, but it picks up bacteria on its way through the urethra

Reverse image search says yes

It's also kind of a fringe theory.

The attribution of the poisoning to the CIA in Albarelli's book has been roundly criticized. Historian Steven Kaplan, author of an earlier book about the events, said that this would be "clinically incoherent: LSD takes effects in just a few hours, whereas the inhabitants showed symptoms only after 36 hours or more. Furthermore, LSD does not cause the digestive ailments or the vegetative effects described by the townspeople."

To be clear: I have no reason to believe that the CIA circa 1951 wouldn't or couldn't pull this kind of stunt, just that the evidence that they in fact did is pretty shaky.

How about an SMBC comic?

Is that specifically what it is? I thought it was just a news alert

Help me out here, I'm having trouble picturing this. Like... a pair of complete, full-size gazelles? Just fastened to the woman's torso? If not, which parts?

Is IDF even letting foreign journalists into Gaza right now?

Genuinely curious what he had in mind. A GNOME desktop? A terminal shell?
