Good point. Now the tank makes sense.

it’s got a ro-ro ramp for the tank!

I just laughing at the implications of this.

Sir, we have to abandon the mission. The enemy has closed their deep sea port - we cannot possibly launch an amphibious assault.

Ah, that makes sense. A laser-guided bomb is just a really lazy missile.

All it’s missing is a rag-tag flotilla city towed along behind the carrier.

This plot point sounds vaguely Macross/Robotech derived, and I love that. I might have to check that out.

After reading that I’m convinced I would love a reaction video series where some military expert just eviscerates G.I Joe episodes.

I watched an episode just last night where the U.S.S. Flagg got it’s shit slapped by a handful of Cobra aircraft. It basically looked like the picture above.

I think this meme template is a bit like The Aristocrats; many tellings but it’s all the same joke. In this case, I think almost any back-and-forth text would work and would have it’s own “ew” factor, some worse than others.

A: I want to grow up to topple the proletariat!

B: Bro, we’re in a coconut.

I can’t prove it, but I suspect that a lot of people are suffering from having backlit phone, console, and cluster LCD panels in their face while driving. The dim incandescent glow of the speedometer as the only thing illuminating the cabin is a thing of the past. This makes me think that folks actually need more lumens on the road in front of you because your pupils are not at all dilated for the dark.

Meanwhile the color temperature and spectra of LEDs vs halogen lights could not be more different. I honestly think our eyeballs respond to to these things differently and it just so happened that halogen is/was easier on our eyes in a lot of cases.

BTW, I’m not excusing anyone for blinding other drivers where it can be helped, especially manufacturers. That shit drives me up the wall.

I agree with the sentiment, but that tees up Trump to reply with something that normalizes getting banned from places. You know, the sorts of consequences for the actions of “fine people” everywhere. It doesn’t even have to make complete sense nor be morally defensible; simple soothing words and support from perceived “leadership” is enough to make that play.

If your opponent isn’t rational, and their base much less so, appealing to general reason is probably not going to work. Better to go on the attack and out specific weird behavior as, well, weird and not a part of the overall group (voters) dynamic. The key is to signal that there’s something wrong with this kind of behavior with your time on the mic, rather than hope that your opponent will just screw up their rebuttal.

Oh, it’s petty cash to be sure. If you have $100-ish bucks to throw around, you probably aren’t going to miss much by not doing this. Unless, of course, letting someone else take even one dollar from you in this way is against your religion or something (i.e. the principle of the thing). Conversely, if you need the handful of dollars this makes, you probably don’t have that kind of walking-around money in the first place.

Which season is this? Winter, Still Winter, or Road Construction?

It’s a terrible plan, to be sure. I bet their thinking was something along the lines of creating an environment suitable for looting/rioting, along with police brutality to follow, all in the hopes that racial tensions in the region play out in their favor.

Of course, they completely ignored how things went when hurricane Irene knocked out power to the region. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t fun but folks were generally okay.

Jesus. This makes it reasonable to just buy $100 worth of your own game every month, just to make sure. Assuming that the number of real sales cover Valve’s percentage and then some. Yeah, that’s a non-zero opportunity cost for you, and additional float for Valve, however petty it may be. But for a small developer, maybe that makes sense.

Outside? Hard pass.

Yeah, let’s not. :p

Where?!

:: confused ADHD noises ::

We call things “bits”, “bytes”, and my favorite: “nybbles”. IT is rife with wordplay. How could they not think it was a cool way to spell “enigne”?!

I’m more impressed that you got the batter to stay put. Or is the entire appliance at 120 degrees?

Whatever you do, don’t follow this advice.

Correct:

• “Sequel”
• Structured Query Language

Incorrect:

• “Squall”
• “Es-queue-el”

The one that people really screw up? PostgreSQL.
