The problem in that case is SEO. What you need is a table of cooking temps or just a single number, but what ranks high is a web page that mentions “cooking”, “chicken” and “temperature” a million times.

(Or be like Gen X and keep a cook book and a scattered assortment of notes in a drawer)

Not tryna start a subs vs dubs debate, just shitposting about House and live-action adaptations of classic anime (which House is, but not the one you might think…)

Animation is too difficult for me to follow and foreign languages are for children.

OP, you accidentally posted the Netflix adaptation.

But I prefer the Netflix adaptation because it’s real people and I don’t have to read subs. (Don’t @ me)

Yeah, I had some webpages archived and tried to use javascript to clean them up, but I ended up parsing it as xml through Powershell instead. I’ve done something with Python and BeautifulSoup too, a long time ago. Both much easier than JS, but somehow JS is designed to work with web pages? Make it make sense.

The original is the wholesome version, OP posted the comedynecromancy edit.

I know it as The Fisherman and his Wife

Edit: Updated link to a more prototypical example, a fairy tale as recorded by Grimm.

Either you’re unplugging it to move it somewhere else and plugging it in there, or you’re unplugging it for good, boxing it up and putting it in a shed. Neither scenario ends up with loose plugs on your floor.

I don’t think it’s fair to judge plugs by how they behave when dropped on the floor (unless they’re exposing live wires). Do you often have a lot of loose plugs lying around? If you find yourself unplugging things a lot to turn them off, you may be interested to hear the switch was invented not long after the light bulb for exactly this reason.

Couldn’t you still easily tell which side of the print got the initial impact of the heel and which side has the curve of the toes? Again, depending on weight of person and type of ground, but I think it would look off even to a layperson.

What fabric softener did you use to get those toesies so fluffy?

Blue cheese and Dr Pepper. The Dr Pepper brings out the sweetness of the cheese and the tanginess of the cheese complements the sour of the soda.

Dr Pepper is the blue cheese of soda, after all.

I think there’s a difference between being able to understand and having all the information to understand. Randall has a very wide range of topics that he makes comics on and most readers won’t know enough about every topic to get every joke, even though he does his best to simplify it for a broad audience. That’s the reason ExplainXKCD exists. But his audience is generally nerds, people who like learning new information, which is also what Explain caters to. So it is both true that his audience can (and are willing to) understand and that Explain helps them understand. (I also think that nerds love explaining stuff, so it makes sense that the main fandom website is ExplainXKCD, even if there were no demand for explanations.)

That second picture is peak “men only want one thing and it’s disgusting”

Superman makes for great stories, as long as you don’t focus on his power. You can’t beat him with physical strength, so stop trying to write strong villains. Probably stop writing villains at all. What Superman struggles with isn’t physical embodiments of evil, it’s the good intentions paving the way to hell. You can’t punch a person with good intentions for their bad outcomes. It’s hard being the ultimate arbiter of good in a world of complex morality.

Thus, the Court easily concludes that the public has a strong interest in knowing the identity of the corporate entity that operates this website and is appearing in federal court

I come there all the time and I have absolutely no interest in knowing who operates it tbh. That information can basically only be used to do harm to nhentai.

California-based rightsholder PCR Distributing, which operates under brands including J18 and JAST USA, initiated action against nHentai last summer, describing the site as a significant threat to its business.

I don’t know them, but JAST sells visual novels and other software (so no hentai) and J18 is a Halland-class destroyer of the Swedish Navy, so maybe they’re being threatened by the amount of KanColle doujins showing the superior physical assets of Japanese warships.

Was 16 in 2019, must be at least 21 now.

Could be lots of downtime, meaning lots of time to watch anime? But I also think there’s way more weebs than people think and it’s mainly in dangerous jobs like military that people lose their inhibitions, stop giving a fuck and just start bonding over whatever they like. Anime is just weird enough to be kept hidden initially, but also harmless enough to admit to your buddies.

If you do a rough estimation in one unit, you don’t have to do 4 significant figures for the converted units. Just round it to 50kg or whatever, and do your calculations (101*50) in the converted units instead of converting again, so the numbers line up nicely in either unit.
