  • I mean, did they say it in a court (or a brief), or just to a news reporter? I feel like "allege" could be correct if it's not an official record.

  • Give me alchemy, give me wizardry

    Give me sorcery, thermatology

    Electricity, magic if you please

    Master all of these, bring him to his knees

    I master five magics

  • Mayones certainly makes my sandwich sing.

  • What are you talking about? He asked Bill about getting bitten in Groundhog Day and the strikes at the end of Kingpin, and every fan already knows those stories are true. That's like the lowest hanging fruit possible.

    Should I have said Stripes or Quick Change or What About Bob instead? Those films just aren't as good.

  • Aw, don't say it like that. He's younger than my dad.

  • I wanted this to be so much longer! They didn't even talk about Ghostbusters or Lost in Translation. Still pretty great though.

  • If you live somewhere with mosquitos, you can't win.

    Dark colors: better for stains, worse for avoiding mosquitos

  • I'm not sure what there is to discuss. These seem pretty accurate at this point.

  • I used to do tech support with them as a client. Worst IT team to work with, they were always impatient jerks. I never did figure out if the company hired shitty people in the first place or just treated them like dirt with no outlet for their stress except outside vendors.

  • Yep, I've been using the same basic feature on stock Android for years as well, with Magisk and Advanced Charging Controller (ACC).

  • Four is bad luck in Japanese superstition, because its pronunciation ('shi') is the same as the word for 'death'.

  • So, I picked it by choosing 12^3 + 2. I wanted to start with something easily factored (power of 12) and not too small, but not interesting because of its factorization. And I wanted it to be even, since odd numbers tend to have funny quirks. So a simple +2.

    What's amusing is that I did this before looking at the Wikipedia page. According to that, the original number that inspired this paradox was 1729. So just by happenstance, I picked one integer higher than the original "uninteresting" number. Which I guess arguably makes 1730 interesting now (though admittedly not for mathematical reasons).

  • 1730 seems pretty uninteresting to me, and that hasn't changed after taking a few minutes to check if there's anything that makes it less than dull.

  • Xenon is a drug?

    Drugs.com calls it "physiologically inert" with some anaesthetic effects at high doses. Most of the coverage is about Xe-133 radiopharmacology and not what most people would think of as a "drug". Is there more to the story?

  • Sometimes dressing slutty and being told what to do sounds nice 🤷‍♂️

  • But what if I (straight-ish) prefer it to be that conversation?

  • I built the Apollo Lunar Lander not long ago. I enjoy the experience of putting together Lego kits so sure, I'd do that again. Or even a bigger one like the Saturn V.

    The problem is what to do with these after I finish assembling them. Nicer kits have a good number of specialized parts so I don't want to take them apart. So they just sit on a shelf and collect dust.
