I love the space battles in the early Expanse books. They are essentially

There's a ship visible several thousand kilometers away…

Shit, they've armed weapons

Firing countermeasures

They will pass in 30 seconds at an appreciable fraction of C

BRAAAAAAAAP

The targeted egg cartons were sold in 25 Costco stores in Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee beginning Nov. 22.

Relevant info for those in a hurry

First off, that website is an ad dumpster fire. UBlock is a requirement.

Second, here's the write from the article referencing his Facebook post:

He wrote: "Many of us like to ask ourselves, 'What would I do if I was alive during slavery? Or the Jim Crow South? Or apartheid? What would I do if my country was committing genocide?' The answer is, you're doing it. Right now."

For reference for those using freedom units that's roughly 60 mph in a 20 mph zone

Bonus. In eagle burger land that will either land you:

• $200 fine and 2 points on your license (varies on state)

• shot in the face (dwb and reaching for a gun wallet)

• nothing (hello fellow patrolman, have a great day killing pet dogs)

Like, fatally stabbed? That's a bit much

But, you know, a flesh wound, a bit of an ouchy, something to make you think next time you open your goddamn mouth Kevin you ignorant waste of skin…

Yeah I'd say that's reasonable

Everyone focuses on the typo when dude did an awesome thing. Reddit doesn't allow title edits and GBoard is shit at producing the words you want, and then dude gets a bunch of Tina jokes.

They got screwed thrice; by their boss, by Reddit, and by their keyboard

That's the way it was. Privilege, which just means 'private law.' Two types of people laugh at the law; those that break it and those that make it.

Night Watch by Terry Pratchett

Um, excuse me, the FULL name is the Captain Samuel Vimes 'Boots' Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness.

I'm a bit of an authority on it myself. Sammies are still taking the theory to every corner of the Disc.

These aren't secrets, but may not be well known (unless you watch LPL):

Sentry Safes aren't safes, they are fire boxes with a fancy lock.

High security locks are not high security because of the lock design, but because the keys are very difficult to have duplicated.

No one (except maybe intelligence agencies) breaks in to a house by picking a lock, especially in the US. Windows, weak door frames, and, in a pinch, making a hole in the wall are all faster ways of getting in.

Car keys are so expensive because many manufacturers charge a subscription or per-use fee to access and program the keys to the ignition. These costs are passed on to consumers

No one is picking your locks just to move things around or steal small, insignificant items. You are either suffering from a mental disorder or a trusted member of the household is gaslighting you (it's not gaslighting though, you're your grasp of reality is slipping. Don't call me for a pick proof lock, just get help please)

Some manufacturers (you know, in China) will put any sticker you want on the products they produce, including UL and ANSI stickers. Before buying a product that is supposedly fire-rated, such as a fire safe, check the UL website to verify the item is actually listed with them.

"Grade 1" door hardware sold in stores like Lowe's or Home Depot is, at best, Grade 2, and is likely Grade 3 (residential grade). These grades are really just about how durable the product is over time, and how much abuse they will endure by the public.

And just a little practical advice. Find a qualified, honest locksmith before you need one. We're like plumbers. If you wait until you have an emergency to find one, the quality will be questionable. There are a lot of scammers out there. If you don't have a resource for locksmiths beyond Google, look on the ALOA website for members in your area. The good ones will know who the other good ones are, and won't be shy about sharing that info if they are unavailable or too far away

I'll take both

Why are we getting weird and territorial about cheese and pasta?

On Reddit there was a thread along the lines of "Millennials, what's your retirement plans?" and the thread was locked with a message from a mod saying they had to shut the thread down because of all of the comments about suicide.

Quite frankly, I get it.

"I Worked It Out. You Have Killed Two Point Three Three Eight People," said the golem calmly.

"I have never laid a finger on anyone in my life, Mr Pump. I may be–– all the things you know I am, but I am not a killer! I have never so much as drawn a sword!"

"No, You Have Not. But You Have Stolen, Embezzled, Defrauded And Swindled Without Discrimination, Mr Lipvig. You Have Ruined Businesses And Destroyed Jobs. When Banks Fail, It Is Seldom Bankers Who Starve. Your Actions Have Taken Money From Those Who Had Little Enough To Begin With. In A Myriad Small Ways You Have Hastened The Deaths Of Many. You Do Not Know Them. You Did Not See Them Bleed. But You Snatched Bread From Their Mouths And Tore Clothes From Their Backs. For Sport, Mr Lipvig. For Sport. For The Joy Of The Game.

Fox screwing Firefly with that stupid broadcast schedule (although it was cancelled before Joss could make it weird)

Star Wars: A LOT of things, but I'll focus on Episode 9 being absolute dog shit

Game of Thrones, I don't think I need to expand on it

Probably the most unforgivable thing is the legacy and ongoing sexual exploitation of minors in the entertainment industry, but I don't think that's what OP had in mind

False.

Add a black leather trenchcoat. Katana for flair, but not required

I thought this was a bone hurting juice comic but, no, I think it's the original.

Amazing

While I understand the sentiment, I have to disagree.

This is nearly perfect comedy, Without the final redirect it's just a rant about Fake Plastic Trees

All jokes aside, I'm seriously impressed that the roof structure maintained it's integrity and didn't just shred to pieces in the explosion
