I’ve seen pallets of Prime donated to multiple organizations lately.
They’re really trying to move that unsold stock, huh?

More that I wish cats would just climb down themselves, ya know?
Most people don’t know “what” anything is in that case. Cars? Most people don’t know what a clutch master cylinder is - they just know how to use the car. Most people don’t know what an app is, since they don’t understand the code language it was built in. Sure, they know how to use it but without knowing Java, it may as well be magic. Vaccines! No one knows what they are! There’s no simple explanation so everyone who’s ever used a vaccine has no idea what they are!
The average person does not have specialized knowledge about anything, even things ubiquitous to modern life.
Yeah, Trump is technically right here but at the end of the day, I don’t really care if a firefighter knows exactly how every app on their phone works, just as long as they know how to put out fires and maybe rescue cats from trees.
Called once to ask, they said go to urgent care.
Then billed me for a telehealth visit and also the Urgent Care billed me too.
SNL is very much a combination of both humor from two years ago and next years mainstream. So many of the skits are built in the gap of “what have I seen lately that’s funny so I can quickly write” and “this will be twice as hilarious in a few years.”
So, SNL is usually pretty meh because you either like current humor and the ‘future’ stuff doesn’t hit or you don’t like current humor and that doesn’t hit.
I like to dress up. Reminds me to be a portion of myself. I’m not me, I’m work me.
I hate to dress up. The same me who’s trusted with people’s lives is the same me who sits around in shorts and flip flops. Why lie to everyone I meet?
I like to dress up. It’s a socially acceptable mask to wear.
The ludicrousness is the point. “Capture a creature in a ball”… How close is that to Red Dead’s lasso? Could Nintendo patent capturing a creature with a rope? Does anyone hold that patent yet? No, it would be silly to try to patent something like that - yet at one point I’m certain it was someone’s “technique” while everyone else was jumping on the horses back like Breath of the Wild.
I’m imagining Ben saying “What the goddamn?” and I think it could work.
Yeah, controller is really the only exciting thing.
Imagine if you had a hammer and decided to use it to hit a nail and then someone came along and said “I see you’re using my method to build a house! Pay up!”
Well, you can’t patent something like that!
Imagine you open up a game engine, any engine, and decide you need to point to an objective so you decide to use an arrow. A game company says “You’re using our method to identify objectives! Pay up!” and that one is a unique mechanic?
How long has humanity been using arrows to point to things? How can you patent it just because it’s a digital arrow?
This was a while back, so not the last time but probably one of my biggest wtfs.
Anyway, In Iraq, in a tower surrounded by sandbag and hesco walls. The night guard shifts kept pissing in bottles and tossing it over the walls instead of just pissing anywhere else or just throwing the piss bottles in the trash so at the change over the Sergeant of the Guard said that we had to make the guys getting relieved stand by because they’re gonna have to go clean all that up. Mind you this is outside of the wire in Iraq - not that it’s particularly dangerous but we were still getting bombed nightly. Anyway, I rock up to the tower and let them know to standby and the SOG rolls up behind me and tells them what’s up.
I kid you not, this dude looks at him and says “Can we at least downgrade our gear?” You could probably hear my laughter across the whole FOB. He just said “Can I take off my vest and helmet before I head out of the wire?”
I shouted down “I can cover you but that won’t stop any rounds that come your way,” and the SOG just said “What? No, fuck, are you kidding?”
Then I baked in the 100+°F sun while I watched adults pick up piss bottles in the desert.
Is that why I see all those “I have too many ThinkPads, I just bought three more.” Posts, or is that just what part of the Internet I’m hanging out in?
I have shorts, made by a company Pistol Lake that’s unfortunately no longer in business, that has a phone pocket inside the pocket with a snap closure.
Now, one, it perfectly fits my G100 and, two, the rest of the pocket is gigantic. Like, full size Nintendo Switch in there with wiggle room but my phone doesn’t move.
So, this may be silly but, see a tailor about adding a pocket if your clothes are baggy enough for it.
Plus, he had “concept of a plan” in his front pocket. He had that think ready. If nothing else, his debate prep got that in his head.
From my experiences it goes more like this “In an ideal world, we’d behave this way. We’re not in an ideal world though and your competitors have no problem doing this so you should know what to do, in case the market determines it’s the best course.” with a knowing wink thrown in.
It’s easier to park a Humvee than a Brodozer.
Mentally deranged people have been shooting up schools since before Capri Sun was even invented…
How old are you?
Could easily have a rope securing system through the middle as well. Stack everything, thread the rope and tie off at the bottom.
Military can’t really customize their equipment anyway. No bumper stickers on an MRAP.
Relevant Apocalypse Now quote “They train young men to drop fire on people. But their commanders won’t allow them to write ‘fuck’ on their airplanes because it is obscene.”
Roston Bynamics was found to actually be Boston Dynamics with some 100mph tape slapped over the logo.
