Yeah. My 2013 chevy spark just hit that too. Car is worth 4k if it worked, repair bill is just under 4k. It is now being donated to habitat for humanity. I told myself I would drive it into the ground and it looks like I did. I just thought that day would be a lot further out than 125k miles. I will never buy a chevy car again.
Can you imagine this as a punishment or execution method? Like, you committed some terrible crime or were on the wrong end of a feud, and now you are forced to eat a mushroom, wait two or three days, then get force fed (or even unknowingly fed!) the next one. Then you have some shalman/stone-age-food-scientist recording what happens.
While I fully agree with your comments on aspartame and have read these posted articles, I would have to disagree with you on the regular sugar part. The more we are researching sugar and its connection with heart health, the lower the recommended daily intake becomes. One of the reasons it is in fact still so HIGH of a recommendation is due to the sugary drink lobby going against the American heart association (as well as almost every physician organization) for the FDA recommendations.
But yes, in moderation you are fine. Just not as freely with the moderation as they make you think you have. This redbull is claiming 26g of sugar is only 53% of you limit, when the AHA limit is only 36g for men (and 25g for women!). So, bad in moderation.
There is actually a really cool history of color grading and the advancement of computers in film technology. The movie O Brother Where Art Thou was the first movie to use full color correction, that was only possible with newer computer assisted editing, and lead to a Oscar award as well as future technical awards for its impact on film editing. Before that movie, color grading was seen as a last ditch effort to compensate for failings of a lighting director or poor cinematographer and was expensively and painstakingly done on select frames individually, and never done on more than a scene or two. After computers were used for digital editing and made it cheap, fast, and easy (relatively), it has become the standard. And now with digital cameras, it is literally baked into the process. It’s a really fun rabbit hole to go down, would recommend.
I would agree but with the caveat- everything jj Abrams has touched that he didn’t make originally
His original works are fine. Super 8 is up there with some of the better modern scifi movies, his work on lost is legendary. But then you have both star trek and star wars… what a failure to both.
Needs some dark souls and Dota in there. Gotta keep the stress levels low and wind down.
Kind of, yes. But also the actual person people are normally talking to when they think the OF girl is responding. Also, sending the messages to the subscribers with new pics.
I don’t know why people have downvoted you when what you said was probably the most accurate on here. I would also add that the Alaska brand has seaweed emulsion that works as an amazing fertilizer as well. I normally rotate through fish, seaweed, and a low level synthetic (10-10-10).
As your tab is auto charged to your biometrics and the bartender points to the door you decide to get the last words in-
“If something is verifiable sentient then I might change my tune, until then robots can fuck off!”
Another patron gasps at your lashing out, “did he just use the R-word? I’m so sorry bartender that you have to hear that. Just remember -not all humans.”
The bouncer approaches you and starts to corral you to the door. “Sir, it’s time for you to go”
You finish off your final rant from the doorway, “Robotic life will still be a rape baby foisted onto us by corporate technocrats!”
The door is closed on you. Inside, the bartender’s emotion chip glows, nearing short circuit. The other patron consoles them and tells them, “if you need to take a minute and collect your emotions, I understand. It is a long and hard road to equality.”
I immediately imagine a scenario 100 years in the future with you in a bar, slightly drunk and provoked by the young’ns to get the old man to rant against the Silicos.
One of the patrons overhears your offensively biocentric rant and asks you to check you DNA privilege and to stop using life exclusive language and to consider the feeling of silico-life forms and their struggles for equality.
You then mock them with a silver-face impression “SoRrY, cOuLd NoT cOmPuTe” while doing robot arms.
The bar tender, who is a synthetic, is on the verge of tears and asks you to leave…
I would rather my tax dollars don’t go to government investments of ripping Pokémon boosters and magic cards. The military would also balloon more than it already has.
Fuuuuuuck yes. It’s up there with all the other ones every one is saying “one of the best ever” the only difference is that no one ever talks about this one. The first 3 or so episodes are a little hard because they were made at peak GoT times and needed to ‘out Got the GoT’ and put in extra sex, violence, and bullshit that was superfluous to the story. But after that, it was pure gold. It needed one more season to finish the story. Two if they wanted to finish ot without rushing.
Oddly, yes.
Percentages also add together in partials. As in 10%+5%+2% = 17%
So, you start with the 10% by moving the decimal over 83.27 becomes 8.327
Then add half of that (5%) to its self and get 12.49 (rounded)
Then take the 10% number and move the decimal over once more (1%) for 0.833 and double it (from 1% to 2%) and get 1.666 and add that to your running total to get your answer of 14.16 (rounding)
And when I calculator check this I got 14.1559.
Because of our American exceptionalism we forgot we were a part OF the americas. So now we are THE USA. Hope that helps.
Looks like a ‘shirts vs skins’ game of ‘dont catch the cancer’. Bad news for the skins team if the don’t have sunscreen on! (Who are we kidding, we know they dont…)
For me it was people shitting on TRON:Legacy. I saw it opening weekend in 3D by myself. Fucking loved it. Saw it a second time the following weekend with my gf at the time. She was indifferent to it. I still loved it. Then other people would bash it and even The Big Bang Theory jumped on the tron bashing bandwagon. As far as I care, everyone else is wrong, that movie was amazing for a reboot.
In science the masculine form is the default.
Are you anti-science??

3 of the 4 panels are on topic, the smoking one I would say doesn’t belong. The topic is about labor exploitation. Slave labor was cheap brute force labor. Then it was banned. So people pushed for more child labor (not that it didn’t exist in parallel to slave labor, just not as utilized). Once child labor was banned from being the dominant labor exploitation there was also the rise of things like company script and company towns. Also banned. For the past few decades we have lived through globalism as the main method of exploitation, pushing for remote jobs filled from cheap labor countries and shipping factories overseas. Now we have AI. And we are seeing that for specific tasks it can be exploited for cheaper labor. Humanity will always find ways of exploiting cheap labor.
In 100 years this will be about cloning slaves and arguing that they aren’t real people. Capitalists will control the cloning farms and use the clones as exploitable labor. And in a short time after the exploitation of clones, they will argue that it is already here and there is no point in stopping it.
Yeah, like I said, I will never buy a chevy car again. The transmission carrier bearing is worn out. It is also where the speed sensor is housed. So the speedo drops out any time you are not accelerating. This causes a speed/air/fuel mismatch and kills the car any time you slow down unless you keep it in gear (manual). So if I beak too much on the high way or going up to a red light, the car dies and I quickly have to get it in gear and pop the clutch to jump start it, or awkwardly start turning the key to start it normally while moving.
The bearing is about 35$. Taking out, disassembling, rebuilding, and reassembling, reinstalling the transmission is over 3500$. The car is worth 4k at best. Not worth it. Apparently this is a known issue with this transmission and replacing the bearing just gets you another 100k till you have to do it again.
