I couldn’t agree more. The idea seemed to have been “Hey, lets take a joke that was just luke warm at best to begin with, and then over use it in an attempt to wring every single spec of amusement out of it until our audience gets physically sick when they hear it”
Still a fun show though!
It’s a small plastic cup full of ground coffee, Kuerig machines use them. They generated a ton of plastic waste, since each k-cup was a single use.
I also second social media, but I need to make another suggestion it’d be Keurigs k-cups. So much plastic waste for the barest level of convenience.
You are most welcome! I’ve spent an embarrassing amount of money on them, I love them so much.
Lofty Pursuits has already perfect the flavor of altoid sours. Their lemon and tangerine flavors are spot on. They also have green apple, which is amazing, as well as blue raspberry!
When social media got big and seemingly every parent out there needed to post publicly every single event/picture/milestone for their kids online, it felt weird. 20 years prior, no parent would willingly share personal information like that to strangers, but suddenly parents couldn’t help themselves.
It struck me that kids would have a very public accounting of their whole life, childhood and on, in a way that I didn’t, and it probably wouldn’t be a good thing.
I think I got my first cell phone in 2001 or 2002, it was a Kyocera 2135, or another similar model from Kyocera. My first PC is an Acer with a 75 MHz with 8 mb of RAM, came preinstalled with Windows 3.1. My family got it maybe 8 months before Windows 95 came out.
I’d think that any alien species advanced enough to travel the stars would see a row of consistent shapes etched into the rock and realize it couldn’t be nature. Maybe one face like rock sure, but 4 faces etched would be too big a coincidence and I think aliens would pick up on that. Now they wouldn’t be able to tell much about us as a species other then we could work rock pretty well. They’d have no idea of what our bodies look like, or that the hair carved into the stone were soft strains of protein instead of a hard helmet like carapace. But I think they’d get intelligent life created the carvings on Mount Rushmore.
One thing I absolutely hated was the Open World, it was non-stop jammed packed full of monsters, just spawning non-stop. And they are always around your level, so you never feel like you’re progressing in power. It was just such a shitty way to handle the world, you can never clear out an area, never go back to an earlier area and flex your new power. Also, monsters spawning constantly was jarring, but the first time I saw a grizzly bear climb straight out of the ground, not a den, just the ground… lazy bullshit.
There are so many things that were just trash about that game, the stats on gear, it was impossible to figure out which pieces would be actual upgrades. The skill trees looked fun but feel so empty and hollow, ugh, I’m irritated all over again about that purchase.
So unless you’ve corrected all of that stuff plus a ton more, I probably won’t ever play it again.
Diablo 4, hands down. My best friend and I have been playing co-op games together for many years, and we were convinced that D4 would be the next 200+ hour co-op event of the year. So I bought myself the 100 dollar collectors edition and he, the same one since his birthday was near launch.
Yep, after 2 weeks we both admitted it just wasn’t a good game, and neither of us wanted to play anymore. What a massive disappointment.
I watched a special years ago about what would happen to our infrastructure, buildings, etc if humans just blinked out of existence. The show start off advancing time, touching on events as they might occur. The very last thing to withstand the test of time was Mount Rushmore, due to be carved from granite. Mount Rushmore would stick around for a very very very long time and would be the last trace of us. But that’s just that one TV show special’s opinion, but it sounds pretty…solid to me.
Peacemaker, I watched that intro every single time.
I’m 42, I was fat in my 20s and didn’t lose 100 pounds and get in shape until 31. I’d gladly take that pill right this instant, make a lot of different choices, lose my weight and get in shape at a younger age too. I would have a very different life I bet.
But alas, your theoretical pill just taunts “Now Me”!
I too use Display Fusion, and yes you can specify different folders for different monitors for it to pull wallpapers out randomly. It’s very important for me since my main monitor is 4k, and my second monitor is 1920x1200 in portrait, and my wallpapers are REAL DIFFERENT per monitor size and orientation wise.
I played the arcade cabinet version of bump n jump as a kid!
Positively delightful! Thank you for sharing!
That’s the part I can’t figure out! I think diagnosing of tongue tie is more common now then it was when I was a baby. In the early 80’s, unless the tongue tie was bad enough to prevent the baby from feeding, they probably just said “Meh, good enough”. But it’s weird that it wasn’t called out in my dozens of other dentist visits over the years! I had no idea I was supposed to be able to reach my back edge my molars!
It sounds like we have a similar level of tongue tie! I can stick my tongue out, but not quite as far as I would be able to if it weren’t for the tongue tie. Yeah I’m leaning toward having it corrected, I had the dentist check what insurance would cover and I’d only have to color 180 out of pocket so that isn’t too bad.
