Also, in my state, all the drivers are the worst
SoCal here. Nope, weather is consistently great. Also, Arizona's drivers are much worse.

Game Dev here.I WISH we could still ship with N64 quality textures and audio. We'd use so much less disc space and probably finish sooner and cleaner.

Different species. Jar Jar is a Gungan, the lady is Queen Julia of Bardotta.

People with the gene that makes cilantro taste like soap: What do you mean by "Cilantro tastes like soap"? In what way does anything taste like soap?
It doesn't always taste like soap to me. But when it does, it literally tastes like the lather/residue from unscented bar soap. Like if you wash your hands but don't thoroughly rinse them, then eat finger food. It's a basic (as opposed to acidic) flavor, that really doesn't taste like anything other than soap.

“God is nonbinary”: GOP activates over Talarico’s past comments characterizing him as too radical for Texas
I have no opinion on if God is NB. But he's very clearly in a same-sex union with Jesus and the Holy Spirit.

Sorry, can't do scarves.
I appreciate the joke, but the rules are exactly why they go "oof". The scarf has higher requirements for precision and a more constant overhead than a one-off giant summon.
You could make them go "oof" on the summon if you added a requirement that the lava properly flow along the ground and interact with all characters near the event.

Not just with every post. It updates your position every time you open the app.

Not me but I get it
It's social convention to say "ow" when you bump something, so I say "ow." When I actually hurt myself (and I notice it) I don't want to draw attention to myself. So I stay quiet. Really, they're both masking.

I loved mine! Did exactly what I bought it for, emulation on my TV and playing media from my server. Replaced it with a Shield eventually, but don't regret backing it on Kickstarter.

I actually react well to combative. Not right away, but it puts me into a "I'll show you" mood that drives me down a rabbit hole of research. If you're right, I come out the other side with the data and admit I was wrong. But I assume I'm not normal.

60 years later, Star Trek's worst critics still don't get the sci-fi show's basic premise
Kirk needing reading glasses was a minor plot point that spanned a couple of the movies. Do these idiots even watch?

Additional context: the squirrel bit one of the officers that was confiscating it. So they absolutely needed to test for rabies.
Don't post your crimes to social media folks. Or do, I'm not a cop.

Newsom says California to draw congressional maps to 'END TRUMP PRESIDENCY'
Reply in thread
California has an indepenent committee that draws the maps. This action will require a statewide vote to temporarily override that committee's maps for this purpose. I don't think the vote would have succeeded before Trump won. Remains to be seen if the vote will succeed now.

My city does something like this as part of our homeless program and we're at "net-zero" homeless. It doesn't work on it's own, but the tiny homes give people a stable place to keep their stuff safe and the elements off their bodies, it gives them an address they can use for things like mail and applications, and it gives social workers a place to find them reliably. It's the start of a long process to help them back to their feet.

ICE AGENT FLED FROM ANGRY RESIDENTS OUTSIDE NEW YORK SCHOOL — AND GOT IN A CAR CRASH

I know someone who died of fast colon cancer, and I'd be okay with ICE agents going the same way.

They say word-of-mouth marketing is the most effective form of marketing. What games did you (not) enjoy that came well-recommended by friends to you, and why did they recommend it to you?
Half Life 2. Wasn't a big fan of the first one, but the second had tons of hype, so I gave it a shot. The physics stuff was cool, but the gameplay, story and characters were boring and flat. And the "revolutionary" storytelling method of locking you in a box to talk at you rather than making a proper cutscene still sucks.

It was a team effort. Cory did the heavy lifting, but it takes a village to overthrow a tyrant.
