“Pulling my leg.” Meaning you are making something up/joking at someones expense.

It does not have any real connection to the present. The idiom came about in the mid-19th century. There’s two competing theories about how it came about. The prevailing theory is that pick pockets, particularly child pick pockets, would pull on people legs to distract their mark. The darker theory is that it was related to pulling someone’s legs when they were hanged in order to finish the ordeal if they didn’t die from the initial drop.

The sunscreen commercial is possibly one of the most dystopian things I’ve ever seen in a movie. That might’ve been in Robocop 2 though. Still both films are legitimately two of the best dystopian sci-fi films out there.

Conan the Destroyer was a good flick too. The scene where they’re walking into town and Conan warns Malak not to steal and he’s like, “I know when to steal (swipes some jewelry) and when not to.” Is just a fantastic setup/punchline.

Had me worried until you made those nervous human noises. Really don’t know why I was concerned.

People really twist themselves in knots to defend their heros huh?

If it walks like a duck… You can stay ignorant of food science if you choose but food “toxins” is a term almost exclusively used by quacks and grifters. Listen to people that have been trained, went to school, and have a degree in food/dietary science instead. It’s probably a lot more boring, and doesn’t confirm your biases as much, but has the advantage of being factual and true. You also won’t fall for bullshit and buy into possibly dangerous woo, that can hurt you, to magically “get rid of toxins” too.

This weird food rabbit hole you’ve gone down to convince yourself of “food toxins” is almost assuredly an echo chamber of bullshit. I’m asking you very nicely, with kid gloves on, to actually go out to a library and read a book about actual food science instead of engaging with influencers and social media about it. I think you’ll find out pretty quickly that they’re all full shit and should be ignored.

No. Don’t listen to influencers for food science. Seed oils are not “toxic” like you say. In fact, if you hear someone describing food as “toxic” you can almost guarantee they are a quack.

HOW THE HELL DO YOU TRIFORCE?

I’d buy two sticks of RAM. I know I’ll have to use some of my own money but I think it’ll be worth it.

Cause json has become ubiquitous in a lot of other contexts. Heck on a ton of Cisco NXOS implementations you can even pipe output to json in the cli. It’s also used in a shitload of application configurations now instead of a flat .conf file too. In fact when I really think about it, I haven’t touched JS in a long freaking time (like years), but have probably touch json at least once a week. I just don’t find it that far fetched that someone would be working with json daily and be incredibly divorced from it’s original implementation.

Well that’s probably true too.

Don’t skip roll day though or you’ll regret it later.

Well I know how I’m singing this song from now on.

Aliens is such an outlier in the orginal trilogy. Like it’s an action movie jammed in between two horror films. In a way, it’s kind of awesome that it exists like that because the horror gets to ratchet down if you’re watching the whole trilogy. But the genre changing from horror > action > horror has always made it hard for me to compare Aliens to Alien 3. Alien is still the best out of all of them and might be the best sci-fi horror films ever made.

Huh… You know what that makes more sense than anything else I’ve come up with. I always just assumed it was lazy devs.

For the uninformed. It still somehow both boggles my mind and makes 100% sense that people didn’t just write this function when they needed something to pad strings.

Click on it and click view OSM. It’ll give you substantially more data about the device. Most likely those are flock cameras now and you didn’t notice when they were changed. Could just be a false positive as anyone can submit them for review. Though I think that is getting more and more rare.

Watching the Odyssey on the smallest TV you could find on the set Backrooms is really the only way to truly see the film exactly how Nolan originally intended. Unfortunately many of us will have to settle for the profoundly worse experience of going to our local theater or streaming it in our living room.

Fun fact. Both started at the University of Michigan and the latter was named as an homage to the leftist group.

It’s a justification because he talks in AI word soup in real life. That’s the punchline in the comic. His defensive justification is that he sounds like an AI in his email because he just happens to sound like an AI all the time. There’s no rationalization required if he didn’t use AI to write emails and the justification for him sounding like AI in his emails is that actually sounds like AI all the time.
