every single person who clicked that thing clicked it to make it go away, just like any other dumb notice at the top of the screen

Fun idea, turning an active forum with constant updates into a forum where no one can post and it hasnt been updated since yesterday Yall should be in charge of a Bud Light ad campaign

I'm not sure what your point is with this. No shaw stays are shown in profile. Still banned from posting anywhere outside of rickshaw. Still banned from buying bull pol pit pass. Fun game!

Not sure why this is past tense, for all we know thats the current situation

We should just create duplictaes of all the trheads in Politics, but create them in rickshaw, and just carry on here forever.

Permanently banned from posting outside rickshaw or buying the bull pol pit thing. Well, thats an interesting April fools

Its always fascinating when that happens. After lurking for nearly 20 years, faithfully reading a forum but never, ever posting anything... one day in 2024 you suddenly decide to start posting. ...why?

Silo was lame and unsatisfying. Interesting premise, terrible execution. For all mankind was great. I will reconsider that. But to me it was also barely sci fi. More like alt-history. Still a fair point, its in the running.

This. Very well put. We don't have to stress about the fact that humans havent developed FTL travel in our species lifetime. If it was possible and if intelligence life evolved repeatedly in the universe, someone would have colonized the galaxy with it. Its a bit like time travel. Sure we...

Its not fair yet because we don't know if its gonna cop out with BS at the end like Dark or actually resolve something in a satisfying ending But putting the ending aside its absolutely in the same tier as Dark. No other scifi in the last 10 years comes close.

Puzzling that anyone finds this boring. For me this is the best sci fi series on TV in probably 10 years. Dark is the only contender in sight for the top spot. Its also notable in that I can't recall a scifi show with exactly zero eye candy hot chicks but it works anyway.

No, thats rap.

Whats different about it? I'm not even talking shit here. Can you describe the difference?

Yeah, its about enforcement. The food trucks I'm referring to were in towns with populations of 1000 and 7000. Not a huge amount of local enforcement, and what are the chances some blue haired city dwelling health department goon ever makes it outside of Portland? It bugs the shit out of me...

OR. I have no idea the details of food truck laws here. I only know I've looked in several food trucks and always wished I hadnt.

I live in a town of under 1000 and when I visit certain websites, I see ads showing dozens of beautiful, scantily clad women from my small town, who just want sex. Click here. Thats how real online reviews are. This was true by 2010, the fact that some people still read online reviews in...

Braised is the way to go for pork chops. You can go with high heat for a short time, and end up with a moist but still really chewy piece of meat. Or (as most of our moms probably cooked them) baked in the oven for too long, so they're shoe leather. Braising avoids the toughness and the dryness...

its one of those really unfortunate cases where two cultures use the same word for completely different foods. like pudding the asian meaning of dumpling is obviously superior here, the wet biscuit style ones are generally pretty bland and pointless

willingly eats white rice, by choice, but calls Chicken Fried Steak "breaded cardboard" ok

Thats just chicken fried steak in its native form. Now I want chicken fried steak

Not the ones I'm talking about. That thing looks awesome.

Our cheap meal growing up was beans and cornbread. Pinto beans, cooked with a little seasoning but nothing special. Plain old homemade cornbread. I still like it.

Fuckin food trucks, man. Like everyone else I liked the concept initially. Variety, price, location, it seemed like such a great idea. But wait a second, wheres the sink with running hot water. Oh never mind, you disgusting fucks arent even pretending to wash your hands. I'm not usually one to...

I can't find the details about their definitions, but from figures in supp info I think you're right about how they did it. It looks like its pretty coarse-grained; they looked at national averages, comparing more rural nations with more urban nations. But that doesnt mean the same pattern...

we just feed our shells to the chickens along with table scraps, it seems to keep the shells strong enough without needing extra calcium beyond whats in feed already

12 years old is old enough not to cut a giant fart at the dinner table. I get the humor of the situation and everything, and thats a funny comeback, but what in the actual fuck?

FML. My wife has terrible taste in movies. Last night she wanted to finish this. I was like fuckit, it can't be as bad the alternatives she suggested. It was worse than I imagined. The summaries early in this thread about girl power magic are spot on, but those summaries were far more...

Eh, fuck names spelled "creatively". Thats actually a good use of auto correct. I wish the whole world would get on board. Like from the DMV to online registration forms, when you enter in in some creatively spelled bullshit it just goes oh you spelled your name wrong, let me fix that for you.

https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adj9223 City people are crazy and now we know part of the reason why. Turns out urban humans have a fucked up gut microbiome that doesnt digest fiber properly. Rural humans have it. Wild apes have it. But city people don't. Combine this with the...

Excel autocomplete. If I type AB20, and hit enter, it records "AB20" in the cell. So far so good. If I then type AB2, and hit enter, it fucking records "AB20" in the cell. No you fucking asshole. I didnt hit "tab enter". I didnt click on a suggested phrase. I typed "AB2" and hit enter. Fuck...

This is one of the biggest structural probems with the airline industry. They're not serving a meal. They barely serve peanuts. Why the fuck do we need 7 stewardesses or male stewardesses? I suggest zero is a reasonable starting point and you can try to argue it up from there. Maybe 1...

I agree with you, its a common piece of ridiculousness in most action movies. I'm just saying theres usually some kind of halfassed excuse why maybe its OK. The dudes a super spy. Or part alien. Or a ninja, or something. None of these really explain it but they all make some small gesture in...

Fell asleep early, so can't properly review. Lasted long enough to watch the heroine - a normal human girl - repeatedly fall 100+ feet onto solid rock, and shrug it off both times in a flurry of Girl Power. I imagine by the end she probably solod the dragon in unarmed combat, but what I saw...

Another post implying that theres some mystical quality about "good rice" that only Asians can detect. But without even a basic description of what makes a difference. Rice is rice. Give me at least a description of the difference you imagine you're detecting. I'm reminded of the famous...

Bandwagon, my point is theyre both (fremen and empire) literally alien invaders. neither has some kind of inherent right to the planet. It makes the colonizer complaint ridiculous.

Its hilarious how all the leftists are criticizing this as "colonizer fiction". (e.g. CNN) Complaining about colonizers. On an alien planet. The ones who get there first are magically the good guys and the ones who get there second are automatically the bad guys. The funniest part is how...

this was a great analysis and I cant disagree strongly with it. but I do think you're underselling Bene Gesserit. The detailed descriptions of Bene Gesserit sex magic in the last two books makes it sound like a pretty tolerable option, considering the alternatives.

Only theaters I've ever been to that served food were Alamo Drafthouse in TX so I dunno how they do it elsewhere. But nobody was eating a "five course meal". You'd order, you'd get served your food and drink, and then just enjoy the movie. Less disruptive than the typical asshole texting or...

yeah, its terrible being able to have a burger and a beer while watching your movie instead of overpriced popcorn and candy terrible

They actually got a Mandela effect reference in this episode "The joke doesnt work if you don't know who Nelson Mandela is!" "I know who he was" This is great, I dunno what people are hating about it.
