Reminds me of an old joke:
I went to a zoo the other day that only had one exhibit…a dog. It was a shih tzu.

And also, if you should happen to drop it, always remember that a falling knife has no handle.
Better to destroy your straight razor than your hand.
Um, I didn’t see where it said to replace pronouns with anything, only to remove them. So the correct verbiage would clearly be:

Am I the only one who thought this was quoting A Christmas Carol?
(The line there being from Jacob Marley’s ghost: “I wear the chains I forged in life.” Which I still think this is might be paraphrasing, if somewhat muddled.)
Without looking into it at all, I assume she represents Georgia’s 14th congressional district.
Hitchcock theme
Funeral March of a Marionette.
Seriously, it’s like nobody in this thread even read the seminal paper, “Scrimbling Considered Harmful”.
Is that…Bowsette?
I know it can’t be, since the character didn’t exist when this was made, but it’s interesting that her costume looks at least as much like Bowsette’s (and not at all like Peach’s or Pauline’s) as his looks like Mario’s.
Hmm. Suppose you were building a nuclear locomotive. (Setting aside, for the moment, whether this is a good idea.) Would nuke→turbine→electricity→motor be more efficient than just using the rotation of the turbine to move the train?
It can’t be, right?
I haven’t.
The Matchless Kungfu certainly looks like Wuxia Kenshi, but I haven’t actually gotten around to trying it.
I had fun with it. Can be a bit slow and grindy, as forming a build involves finding the right (randomly generated, periodically refreshed) techniques and studying them. And there’s a big power jump in each area so this process has to be repeated regularly.
I initially got into it when looking for something like Wandering Sword, but as a M&B- or Kenshi-style open world, which it’s not exactly that.
Tale of Immortal […] doesn’t even work if you don’t have your system set to Chinese
I’ve played it (in English, on a US-English Windows install) and I don’t remember having to do anything like that.
It’s funny, I frequently find myself configuring native Linux games I legitimately own to instead run the windows version through Proton.
…I’m sorry that that’s pretty much the exact opposite of an answer to your question.
The pints thing actually has the same cause as I was talking about above: The British standardized around the Elizabethan ale gallon, while America used the Queen Anne wine gallon.
The long (British) and short (American) ton are both 20 hundredweights. The American hundredweight is exactly 100 pounds, while the British hundredweight is 112. You tell me which of those is more reasonable.
That said, both units did, in fact, come from Britain. The old Imperial system often used the same name for different units depending on what was being measured and for what purpose. Both countries passed laws to simplify and consolidate these measurements in the early 19th century, but in many cases chose different versions to standardize on.
Most literal use of ‘ad hominem’.
I felt similarly after Fallout 3. I think that universe just isn’t for me
Out of curiosity, have you played any of the non-Bethesda Fallout games? Because the Fallout-nees of FO3 (haven’t played 76 or 4) is a paper-thin veneer composed of random elements from previous games jumbled together in ways that make no sense.
Secretary of State is #4, and that didn’t stop Madeline Albright from holding that position during the Clinton years. I believe the accepted solution is that the succession just skips over anyone who is ineligible.
Yeah, I got a new laptop recently with no intention of using the pre-installed OS, but I wanted to boot it up once just to make sure all the hardware was working.
It may have actually taken longer to figure out how to create a local account on W11 than to wipe it and install Linux.
