There was a shawarma place I used to go to that had an interesting “garlic sauce”. You couldn’t call it toum, as it was either not whipped with oil or they stopped after adding a splash. It had the appearance of being just very finely chopped garlic, like somebody ran it through a food processor until it was almost a paste. And fuck, it was so good on their donair pizzas. We used to get a small tub to go with it, but after a slice of the pizza, a sip of beer would set your tongue on fire. And the next morning, shaving would make the bathroom smell like fresh garlic. Definitely too much, but oddly worthwhile from time to time.

That’s cuz ya basic like one :)

But coming up against a full grown 800 pound tuna with his 20 or 30 friends, you lose that battle, you lose that battle 9 times out of 10.

Google's "Manifest V2" Chrome extension phaseout next month is expected to impact the original uBlock Origin extension, which still uses the V2 framework and has 37 million users (www.theregister.com)

The new MV3 architecture reflects Google’s avowed desire to make browser extensions more performant, private, and secure. But the internet giant’s attempt to do so has been bitterly contested by makers of privacy-protecting and content-blocking extensions, who have argued that the Chocolate Factory’s new software...

I dunno man. I quickly learned to avoid Chrome at all costs because of the performance. Even when it was supposedly “good”, it was always a massive memory hog. Never had that issue with Firefox, and if it ended up taking a few seconds longer here and there to load a page, it would pale in comparison to the overall hit to the system from Chrome. Like being penny wise and pound foolish.

Why do people throw out old motors, bicycles, anything metal into rivers and lakes instead of a junk yard or the trash system?

I have been watching magnet fishing and people love to toss stuff over bridges without a second thought on the environmental impact. Hiding evidence I can almost understand but not lawnmowers, car batteries, etc....

Grabthar ,

Canada used to do this, but then they switched to charging the disposal “eco” fee up front when you buy the product new. Everything from that point on has been free to dispose of. Any metal or electronics products are all saleable scrap though, so you can get paid for them if you take them to a metal recycler instead of the dump. A lot of places advertise free places to dump those products so they can take them in to sell. Some will even come pick them up for free as well. But if something doesn’t have an eco fee or isn’t otherwise valuable scrap or recyleable, you pay by weight to landfill it.

She’d probably leave a golden diaper at a GOP convention with a label saying “For the most worthy”.

Thanks mom!

Bolos?

Renew! Renew!

There’s nothing like the sight of a shorn Skarsgård; it’s breathtaking, I suggest you try it.

Grabthar ,

Bought a new rig just for this. Super excited! They really don’t make enough of the kinds of games I like playing, so definitely want to support this one.

Grabthar ,

How the fuck he fold towels?

I expected to at least see what number doubled in one year.

Grabthar ,

Thank you for providing legitimate discourse. Pretty rare in this kind of thread, but it’s important.

Grabthar ,

Not going to state the obvious with Ricardo Montalban, but I always enjoyed William Campbell’s Trelaine. And yeah, Windom was solid as Decker. Great episode all around.

Grabthar ,

Ok kids, let’s go!

What's your opinion on using rw Blu-ray disks for storing movies, ect?

Well I thought about using them instead of buying a hdd, I looked for some comparisons and found a 50 pack of 25gb blu ray drives and a 2tb harddrive for 60, it can store 35 movies more (thinking the movie is 24 GB) than the pack of drives, and that isn’t accounting the disk drive to read the disks (Keep in mind these are just...

Grabthar ,

All of my old PS-1 games on 25-30 year old CD-Rs work fine. You’d be lucky to get 10 years from an HDD. I start losing disks in my RAID 5 arrays at about 6 years, and if you are unlucky it could be under 3. I have a 10 year old USB stick (oldest one I haven’t lost yet) that has started failing. So CDs are looking pretty good long term. Would just be a pain to back them all up again, but you might only really have to repeat that once for a lifetime of use.

Grabthar ,

True, but I am talking about CD-Rs, as per above. I assume you know what those are.

Grabthar ,

When I was a kid, I had a dinosaur book that suggested Eryops probably sounded like a Buick. I have no idea if they meant the horn or the engine. One of those odd “facts” that sticks with you, though.

Grabthar ,

Yeah, and it’s gonna be on the Saturday after no matter what day that turns out to be.

Grabthar ,

Is it just wishful thinking that their comrades might carry them off the battlefield if they are already on a stretcher?

Grabthar ,

It’s Scarry. Honestly, I am not sure which is worse for an author of children’s books.

Grabthar ,

Those glass bottles used to cause an awful lot of horrific deaths and injuries during handling, so from a safety perspective, there is no desire at all to return to glass. Glass bottles are also much heavier than plastic, so have a commensurate environmental impact due to the increased consumption of fossil fuels for shipping as well. Fixing the problems with plastic was a big PR win and saved companies millions in law suits and shipping costs. They won’t go back to glass. The answer is probably re-usable plastic containers purchased by the customer and refilled at stores for the same price (or more) than when sold in disposable plastic packaging. Another PR win in the offing, no doubt.

Here comes the airplane!

I always thought it was more of a “see an optometrist” flash. Even misaligned HID high beams aren’t more than a minor nuisance for people with normal night vision. But if even factory installed and aimed LED headlights are bothering you enough to completely blind you, you have an underlying condition that may or may not be treatable. Driving at night may not be something these people can do safely. All the more reason for better transit.

Grabthar ,

It’s a commonly commiserated problem because it impacts different people to differing degrees. Some are actually impaired by the light, and I imagine others just complain because they have to avert their gaze to the edge of the road but don’t actually lose their night vision. But if you have ever had LASIK, have a vitamin A deficiency, a genetic condition impacting vision, or a more common condition such as diabetes or cataracts, the way light passes through your eye is different than normal and bright lights at night can blind you. You may not notice that you don’t have particularly good night vision unless you are around someone who does. If in doubt, it probably doesn’t hurt to get it checked out, especially if it didn’t bother you when you were younger but does now.

Judging from the fact that this made world news, I have to admit it worked. A single post getting people angry about a fake cancer victim proved far more effective than any ad campaign I have ever seen for health awareness, and zero cost! I guess we only pay attention when we are outraged. Fair play, then.

Grabthar ,

I use a tiny drill bit to make a hole in the centre of either side of the damaged joint, then cut a piece of metal tubing (hobby shops sell them) or a piece of plastic such as filament from a 3D printer (getting a ~1cm piece of PLA from your local library is probably free) to use as a pin to fit into the holes and reinforce the joint. Then once you are happy with the fit, glue it all together. If it is really tiny, you may not be able to pin it and then glue might be your only hope. Depending on the weight of the parts and material, crazy glue is usually pretty good for most situations. With plastics, where I need it to grip right away and hold its own weight, I like Testors modeling cement. Way better initial hold than even the gel crazy glues.

Where’s my man Boxxo?

Seriously. Four hands is enough to hold your cock, balls, phone and a tissue!

I remember working that one out with my brothers. Every step you take just leads to further problems getting the fish. It was easy to figure out to put the towel over the perfectly towel-sized grate and hang your robe on the hook. Blocking the cleaning robot access panel with Ford’s satchel also seemed to make sense as well. But when we put the stack of junk mail on the satchel and it actually worked? Well holy shit, were we ecstatic. It opens up some of the best parts of the game, though I would argue not as much as figuring out how to get the spare improbability drive to work. I think one of my brothers bought that same guide book long after we retired the C64, so though he knew how to finish it, I don’t think any of us ever did. I remember getting to Magrathea and not ever being able to figure out the proper tool bit. Tried taking the proper tool, and storing another tool in the thing your aunt gave you, but never seemed to work.

Grabthar ,

And the thing your aunt gave you that you don’t know what it is.

Well said, talking buttplug.

Well, they did have a distillery in their tent, so maybe.

That’s why you don’t see 15 minute cities anymore. Capitalism already figured out that a few large stores allow you to hire more efficient numbers of employees, buy more for less, stock better variety, pass along some of the savings to customers and still make more profit than building lots and lots of repeated commercial infrastructure throughout residential areas. A return to that model would require more employees in low paying service jobs, and would sacrifice lower prices and better variety. Ironically, it would be far faster to use a car to skip from store to store to look for the best deals and the specific brands you want. I suppose we could also get rid of capitalism at the same time, but I’m not holding my breath. As much as I like the idea of walkable infrastructure, it comes at a cost that I am not sure many would be willing to pay.

Pavel Bure became a wizard?

My parents still have it! Always a favourite when visiting.

Grabthar ,

There are plenty of those places around me, and they advertise agressively everywhere. But there are also the metal scrapyards that will pay YOU for your e-waste. That’s where most of these recycling places take the stuff you paid them to dispose of. If you want the service of having it picked up, I’d say fill your boots, but I will just go the scrapyard with a binful once in a while when I plan to be in the area.

Hey, Bud! Or is it Budley? Budward? What’s Bud short for?

Finally, someone who can wear the Reeboks with the straps and the boots with the fur!

Damn, I played the crap out of this game as a kid. Still remember the first time reaching the Stardock and being wowed by how big it was. But the coolest thing was when I figured out you could escape during the invasion with the 50 tonne Chameleon from the training school.

I thought it was putting grandma on speed dial

First mention of Transport should be Presentation for OSI. All People Seem To Need DP. Dr. Pepper? Data Processing? Remember it as you will.
