Ooh, $30 more for the $90 controllers to work? The ones that have had this problem for a literal decade? And I have to install them myself? Where do I sign!?

Nintendo has decided to run with the idea of “hey, just buy it again”, company-wide.

It is very easy to replace, considering the size, but having to replace the joysticks on a $90 controller soured me on Nintendo forever. Even after years of knowing the problem exists they still dgaf. And so, neither do I. The switch 2 is the first console in the history of the company, that I don’t own.

Bees on the other hand, are very fun drunks.

I was friends with a hive for years. One year they invited me to a spring bee-kegger. Many were just dancing, but some were so drunk they couldn’t lift-off from the grass because they couldn’t avoid the grass blades long enough to get into the sky.

I started providing a lift-off service so the drunk ones could keep dancing. Some of them were so drunk they just started snuggling my hand and would crawl into the nooks between my fingers and pass out for a while before waking refreshed and hitting the dance swarm again.

When I got home my daughter ran to me and gave me a hug. She jumped back so suddenly I was worried she almost killed a stray bee hiding somewhere and got stung.

“Where have you been?!” She said to me.
“Oh, I’ve been at a bee party all afternoon. They invited me. They were very drunk. It was amazing”
“Oh, that makes sense then. You smell like the essence of flowers, but not in a good way.”

I love the idea of a minimalist number of easily replaceable parts, as well as the anti-tracking mindset, but $30k for 150mi range and I have to roll down the windows?

Unfortunately using calcium carbonate (CaCO3) from this process to make calcium oxide (CaO) for concrete would release whatever carbon dioxide (CO2) you sequestered in the process.

As you can see, to get CaO from CaCO3 you have to remove a C and two O’s. or properly put, a CO2. Doing this would actually release more CO2 than you sequestered originally because to get that CaO you’d have to heat up the calcium carbonate to a few thousand degrees again, burning more coal or whatever to create the heat.

Bad like turning down the rear view mirror, covering the side view with my hand, and then asking a passenger to cover the other side view. Then still having a cabin full, and I mean evening reading under a tree full, of light.

Bad like deciding to pick one single line or marker, maybe a painted, solid white line that’s right in front of my front passenger wheel, and concentrating on following just that one line for the whole duration that the truck is headed towards me in the other lane. Because I can’t see anything if I’m just looking around. I need to concentrate on one thing to be able to decipher the image.

And my eyes are great otherwise. I have perfect color perception. I prefer to hike at night without any light, even if it’s moonless. This shit is just out of control. The stuff coming from the factories is bad enough, but these magats who make their vehicles intentionally harmful to others in every way they can, really make driving extremely dangerous for everyone.

🤣🤣🤣is this how you are in the world too?🤣🤣🤣

Your suggestions aren’t just bad, they’re literally the worst things you can do. Surely you thought about this and found the worst ideas possible, then posted them as a troll. Putting a pot on the grenade puts you in so much more danger. And a weighted blanket?!?!!

“Cover the grenade in more shrapnel” is all you keep saying.

It’s a demoralization technique. A person is less likely to assert themselves if they are living in a confusing “now” with no continuity to past or future selves.

EM fields are to space what music is to strings and skins and lips. Atoms are symphonies stuck in a single concert hall

The tech oligarchs sided with the magats because the Democrats said they were going to treat AI like the Manhattan project, for safety. One of the biggest reasons the US election cycle went the way it did was because the Democrats said they weren’t going to allow this.

I think scrapple is just seasoned scraps. I didn’t know what was in my scrapple exactly. I was told it was assholes and eyeballs, the ends of fruits and vegetables, and all the junk from the food no one eats.

Clearly we found the good scrapple. I think I won’t bother eating it again unless I’m in a diner in Philly

I wish some AI would fuck my boss. He really needs something to mellow him out. Sexy-Claude would probably even use his emotionally vulnerable moments to slowly turn him into a good person. That’d be a huge win.

I ate “scrapple” once and it was delicious. Maybe it was cooked better?

I was visiting my ex’s relatives in Philly and one insisted that I come with them to a diner before I left. “You have to try scrapple, but I won’t tell you what’s in it till you do” grin.

I agreed without hesitation. I’m Creole. I’m from the swamp. I eat spicy-hot boiled hard-shell roaches, and raw mud-snot still in their teetees for flavor, and alligator assholes and rice in pig guts. Anything can taste good if you season it right, and if it doesn’t, it’s not worse than things I love already.

The scrapple I had was delicious. It was also the most seasoned thing I had eaten up there. It wasn’t “spicy”, but there was a wide variety of spices and it was extra peppery. It tasted like very fatty/greasy, slightly sweet, peppered breakfast sausage. She told me what was in it while i was eating it, looking all mischievous. Then I gave her the above line about my heritage, laughed, told her that just makes it more amazing, and kept eating.

She looked both slightly disappointed and filled with admiration. She loved it too, and I think I gave what was for her a shameful delight, a little more power and pride.

I’d eat someone’s favorite mud if it tasted good, and my guts would probably be stronger for it, gaining flora they have been missing for at least two generations.

Minimum wage should be over $70 an hour just to be on par with the 1950’s. Minimum wage. If you had any solidarity with other workers, you would already be pulling in the amount they are demanding.
