Xephonian,

It was made by Hollywood for Hollywood.

Xephonian,

and attack anyone who goes through the door with whatever you can throw

Gee, it’s almost like having a deadly weapon that can be wielded by almost anyone, and would do an excellent job at protecting those children, would be a good idea.

Naw, let the children fight off bullets with books and paperweights. Life’s a bitch - no sense in coddling them.

Xephonian,

Schools used to have shooting ranges built into them. And school shootings weren’t a problem. Kids are more than capable of being responsible around firearms.

The only reason you’re gunphobic is because you’ve been brainwashed.

Xephonian,

20 gallons a year isn’t much at all.

“Man reasonably consumes cheese” isn’t as catchy I suppose.

Xephonian,

That’s how you build natural immunity.

You think you’re not exposed to germs constantly? If the germs are on your hands they are also already on your face.

You’d think germ theory hasn’t been discovered since fucking 1762.

Xephonian,

I think they are for checkout convenience. That’s why they’re so thin, don’t mess up the weight.

Xephonian,

OMG. Did you know you have germs on you RIGHT NOW!?

Better drink bleach to take of the germs internally too just to be safe.

Xephonian,

You’re worried about a water balloon while standing under a waterfall.

Xephonian,

The ‘water’ is the ‘contamination’.

Xephonian,

Love an Invader Zim reference.

Xephonian,

Can’t have the plebs accessing alternative viewpoints. They must only consume the dogma preached by the troon brigade.

Xephonian,

And you’d be wrong. Triton subs have the only full-ocean-depth commercially rated submersible. It literally has no depth rating, it safe in any part of the ocean. And not just once. Repeatedly.

Check out the stupid mistakes that were made with OceanGate - engineering.com/…/potential-structural-reasons-fo…

"You’re remembered for the rules you break. And I’ve broken some rules to make this. The carbon fiber and titanium? There’s a rule you don’t do that. Well, I did.”

There were several people who quit working with OceanGate because their failure would paint all submersibles with a bad reputation. And thanks to morons like you and Stockton, they were right.

Xephonian,

Touch grass.

My most ridiculous solution yet, completely solving citrix clipboard issues

bindntr=CTRL,C,exec,hyprctl dispatch closewindow alacrittyclipboard & hyprctl activewindow | rg -q "class: Wfica" && alacritty -qq --config-file ~/.config/alacritty/alacrittyclipboard.toml --class 'alacrittyclipboard' --title 'Office365 Desktop - Nexus (SSL/TLS Secured, 256 bit)' -e sh -c 'sleep .03 && xclip -o | wl-copy'...

Xephonian,

Congrats on chasing down a decade-old bug!

Xephonian,

stone/non-glazed ceramic works ok because it’s porous and absorbs the condensation. These look like glazed ceramic which won’t work well. In high humidity environments there’s so much water the coaster will start to stick to the glass or it’ll spill off onto the surface you are trying to protect, it’s just not ideal.

Best coasters I’ve found are rubber with a felt/fabric insert. They never move or stick to the glass and the felt has enough surface area to evaporate the water.

Xephonian,

It’s environment dependent. I could use them in the winter when it’s not very warm or humid.

But in the summer with the windows open a glass of ice water has a ton of condensation around it like the glass is leaking almost. Went through almost all types, plain plastic squares, then to cork, then to stone and finally the felt which actually work.

Xephonian,

Definitely, I’m assuming you drink that hot and hot drinks don’t generate condensation. All you need is a heat barrier and ceramic is great for that no matter what kind of finish it has.

Xephonian, (edited )

Capitalists are people. People will always corrupt a system for personal gain. Which is why communism is such a silly idea. It’s always immediately corrupted. Capitalism assumes people are corrupt and has provided the greatest standard of living in history. It saved China.

Xephonian,

Those contracts are predetermined anyway. It’s all part of the scam of for-profit prisons.

Xephonian,

It’s supposed to be, dude is pulling a thorn or something out of it’s paw.

One day toward evening, when he was seated with the brethren to hear the sacred lessons read, a lion suddenly limped into the monastery. The other monks fled at the sight of the beast, but Jerome greeted him as a guest. The lion showed him his wounded foot, and Jerome called the brothers and ordered them to wash the animal’s feet and to dress the wound carefully. When they set about doing this, they found that the paw had been scratched and torn by thorns. They did what was necessary, and the lion recovered, lost all his wildness, and lived among the monks like a house pet.

Xephonian,

Nah, that’s a hotbox. Unless you’re a woman and only smoking with other women. Then it would be a clambake hotbox.

Xephonian,

Hah, in the title photo with all the PCs, the far-right black case is what I’m still using at home. Ripped out a lot of the 2.5" drive bays to fit my GPU.

Xephonian,

Love the huge programming capabilities built into Excel itself but for everything else it’s AutoHotKey FTW. I have a bunch of macros tied to the F keys along the top of the keyboard that can fill out any number of forms with a couple key presses.

Xephonian,

It may be dumb but it’s been a proven concept repeatedly. Apple proves this every day. Designer clothes prove this.
