The mythbusters clip about the bus is one of my favorites, because it showed just how hard it is to tip over a bus.
What I have wondered is do people who grow up in places where the streets are more or less in a grid end up with a different sense of direction to those who grew up in a place where old walking paths were just paved over, creating more random street layouts?
Im in Oklahoma. It was cold, with a day of powdery dry snow that we normally don’t get. Might have had 3"-4" of coverage. The schools were closed until today. We never lost any utilities, just stayed at home, got high, and did some baking.
It was above freezing today and yesterday, so we have some fun icy patches that haven’t cleared.
Two of my favorites are from books and don’t have pictures: the nanotech weapon given to grunts in “Old Man’s War” and the Soft Weapon from Niven’s short story titled, appropriately enough, “The Soft Weapon”. There was an animated Star Trek episode based on The Soft Weapon, but I can’t remember what I looked like, I just remember the producers weren’t brave enough to animate an alien with two heads and three legs.
Other than those, I really liked the silly guns in Ratchet and Clank, epecially the Vacuum Cannon.
Genitals can go in them
This is one more thing I like about singleplayer BG3. Even in the middle of a fight I can get up and do whatever.
(Like to the point where he checked in with me to ask if I was annoyed at listening to the audio constantly.)
I remember asking my other half if the sound was annoying her, and she told me she enjoys the stories in the game.
plenty of non-story games will take much longer
Yup. Satisfactory doesn’t have much of a story (although it’s still early access) but I think I’m cloae to 1,000 hours on it.
I was going to guess Rabul. Oops.
I’m going to guess they are terrified and excited and just yelling random cop noises.
I don’t like fishing.
It’s not because “eww, worms” or “eww, fish”. It’s two things. The big thing is, I don’t want to hurt some small animal like a worm or bait fish, just so that I can hurt some other animal by dragging them into an environment where they can’t breathe. Oh, but the humane thing to do is toss them back? Imagine being pulled out of an airlock into the vacuum of space, photographed, measured, and then put back in the airlock? I don’t need to do all of that to some critter just for fun. Which brings me to the second thing about fishing that I don’t like : It’s not fun. It’s boring. It’s so boring. Just stand here and hope a fish eventually bites.
I had to stop playing a recent BG3 save where I was trying a character who sometimes randomly kills people.
Shapez.io is great when I want to just kill 15 minutes. It doesn’t take over my whole day like Factorio.
Often times, I go to bed with intentions of sleeping early, only to find out that my wife has other plans for me. ❤️
I have a lot of specifications stuck in my head from previous jobs. A fun one is that precast concrete bridge beams aren’t just concrete and rebar. They typically have a bunch (20-30 or more depending on size) of 13 mm steel cables that are each under about 13,000 kg of tension. The cables are pulled to a specific tension in the concrete form, the concrete is poured around them, then the cables are cut at each end.
As does the auto industry, aerospace…
Outside of construction and plumbing plenty of stuff is metric here. Even our weird imperial units are based on metric units.
Two things have saved me money in this life - being able to cook, and being able to fix things.
RA3 was OK. While RA2 was my favorite, The third one was fun, especially any mission where I could send Tanya to a horrible end.
I used to have a motorcycle that would give a couple of pops out of the exhaust if I closed the throttle too fast. I wonder how many Nextdoor conversations it started?
