The boat is what he converted his equity from proper twelve into. He'll have to cash out of another startup to fund the maintenance.

When I was a kid I used a soldering iron to engrave some wood for a school project. I grabbed the hot iron just like in the photo. That's the kind of mistake you don't repeat. I can still see the burn scars 35 years later.

Ensign: "Admiral, asteroid successfully deflected ten degrees on the vertical and negative five degrees on the horizontal!" Admiral: "Ensign, you mean positive five degrees? Confirm?" Ensign: "..."

I just tore my hip adductor getting out of bed this morning. I can barely walk now. FML.

I think the voice actors are directed to mimic the deliveries of the Korean actors, which leads to word emphasis and cadence in odd places to the ears of native English speakers. I don't think it's as simple as "bad dubbing", because obviously anyone who speaks native English knows it isn't...

Gloveless fighting is generally believed to result in less CTE because the other guy can't punch as hard without breaking his hand, plus you get cut more and fights stop more quickly on that basis. The worst is boxing where you get hit hundreds of times and it just accumulates and accumulates.

It would be pretty hilarious if they had actually interviewed Musk, he trolled them, and they took him at his word. I've seen dumber things happen in consulting.

Lol. It's a fucking space rocket company. I'd be more surprised if there were any purchase orders UNDER $10,000.

Yeah, but there's a pretty big, binary difference between beating a guy up and killing him. I don't know how many thousands of pro MMA fights there have been, never mind amateur, but <10 competitors have directly died as a result of injuries according to quick googling. It's definitely not an...

Looks like he broke his spine hitting canvas and then got a spinal infection in the hospital? Bad luck for everyone. I bet the guy who KO'd him feels fucking awful.

I think there's a fair point here about exercising some basic consideration by not making an avoidable mess that other people will have to clean up. Just because there is someone getting paid to clean it up doesn't mean you're absolved of any responsibility in making it. Whining about jobs...

There's no such thing. You might not presently be detectably accelerating, but everything in the universe is experiencing gravitational pull from everything else. (Subject to speed of light propagation.)

Thanks for reminding me of Eddings; his books were a formative part of my youth. My son is about to turn 10, likes fantasy, and needs some new material. Having re-read them as an adult it's obvious that these books are hardly great literature, but we've all got to start somewhere. I also need...

If you want to get real fancy, a wheelbarrow of gravel and a shovel, too.

Yeah. I wonder if there will eventually be some kind of literal dead man's switch, where if you don't have the presence of mind to reset the timer it takes you out. One of the very few places where I have a strong disagreement with my wife is that she's in the "keep everyone alive as long as...

I think about this a fair bit now that I've hit middle age, as my mom died in her 50's after a terrible and uselessly long struggle with cancer and my dad's parents lived into their late 90's and were barely conscious at the end, totally derailing my aunt's life when she became caretaker...

Can @Amod correct the title spelling for this thread? The OCD part of me vomits every time I see it.

The subtitles are getting panned for shitty translation, confirmed by Koreans I know.

I was talking about this show with my wife with my kids in the room. My 9 year old son pipes up and says, "Oh, my classmate is in that show!" I assume it's BS because, you know, kids, but then some quick googling shows that, yes, his classmate did the English VO for the daughter character. Small...

It's worth noting that exactly this kind of microgravity is what made the comets form in the first place. It's not like they were all broken off some larger body.

Heckling aside, I finally got a chance to play for a couple hours last night and I am enjoying myself a surprising amount. The game is silky smooth and feels a LOT better than the original beyond the fact that the networking is still utter dogshit and the mobs are never where you think they are...

No surprise they've got a real estate bubble. Jesus.

I can't tell you been how long I've been waiting to competitively exploit shitty netcode in 4k.

Pretty sure he mistyped "week".

My cousin is a chef. This was dinner last night (at home). Edit: Attachment failed. Attempt #2.

In my personal experience, not even if you run bots. The odds of any specific high rune are ~1:200,000 per boss run. Best case scenarios are about ~1:10,000 for rune-optimizeed runs. Your expected time to reward is measured in chronological weeks.

The property damage is not debatable. You can't prosecute domestic violence without cooperation of the victim, and the victims are often noncooperative because they are exposed to retribution and are financially dependent on the abuser (like in this case). It's tricky.

Fiance: "No, he didn't hit me. I'm just covered in blood and too scared to go back to my room. How long do I have before he's out of jail?" And apparently it was in front of his kids, too. The five year old is quoted asking the hotel security to call the cops. What a piece of shit Jones is.

Some people just don't travel for 3-5 years (or travel a lot less), until their kids are old enough that sleeping isn't so much of a fucking pain. When my son was 1 I took him to Brazil to visit family and it was fucking hellish. Neither my wife nor I are high-stress parents, but no one had fun...

Expect them to be ungrateful shits and you'll never be disappointed!

His grappling coach, Craig Jones, has some of the best defense in the world and is one of the frontrunners of modern technique. Plus, Volk is tough as fuck.

It seems like he just has no impulse control when it comes to high-endorphin activities.

Already included.

I have no idea why anyone would expect the servers to work on launch day, even for a 20 year old game. Has any company ever managed that?

Some pornography:

The brothers are both nuts. I know some people who are close to them through BJJ and what you get in interviews is exactly who they are. They're semi-literate, brutally tough guys who don't actually like fighting and have to act like primates to hype themselves up for it, but are none the less...

I'd never heard of it, either. Upon further research, perhaps it's not worth the risk. (tldr; 1 star avg, 4600 responses) https://www.resellerratings.com/store/Daily_Steals If it's really $50 from Walmart that's obviously more reliable. Edit: $35 at Walmart but out of stock?. I guess that's...

Edit: Maybe don't buy from here, seems disreputable. https://slickdeals.net/f/15293464-pre-order-metroid-dread-nintendo-switch-47-70-free-shipping?src=frontpage
