  • It takes a lot of gas to make the trek from Toronto to the Keys in an RV. /s

  • RTFM, a prerequisite for Critical Thinking

    It boggles my mind how many students can't find answers in the one tool they have for any given subject. That's Step 1 for problem solving just about everything: trust the literature and sort it the fuck out.

  • This, somehow, will be Biden's fault.

    Also, the Sunshine State (Florida) is going to get destroyed.

  • Plot twist: that's her partner, Eric Andre.

  • Good on ya for respecting the gravity of it and his silence about it. It's fucking horrible what war does to people. You could sign a contract with the best of intentions, naive as they may be. Regardless of why you joined, they have your ass, and whatever you're forced into will weigh on you.

  • This happened decades ago, but I still think about it sometimes. It's foggy, but some details I haven't forgotten.

    One of my friends invited me to the movies. His wife was doing laundry and wasn't interested in the movie, so she stayed home while we took off. When we got to the theater, we realized we were over an hour early. So, we decided to go back to his place to grab a bite.

    When we got back, I stayed in the living room while my friend went upstairs, looking for his wife.

    Then I heard everyone shouting and screaming, the sound of metal banging on the floor. Heavy thuds and crying.

    The door opened to the master bedroom upstairs and another man, covered in sweat and blood, scrambled out of the house.

    I went upstairs and saw the aftermath: my friend's weight set tossed to the floor, scuff marks and drops of blood everywhere. My friend and his wife were in the master bathroom, arguing and crying.

    I don't remember clearly what happened after that, but I know that my former friend beat a man nearly to death for sleeping with his wife.

  • Do you know that they were involved in violent acts? Did they serve overseas?

    Also, if they did commit acts of violence, were they justifiable (for saving a person's life from an assailant, for example)?

  • Maybe something like Guacamole with multiple users configured to ssh into a terminal. You can lock down permissions so users can only SSH automatically where they're supposed to go.

  • Next thing you know, you turn 18, you get a notification on your laptop saying you've been enrolled in the Selective Service, you get a knock on your door, a military officer greets you, and says, "Good morning! We've taken notice of your academics and your Steam library...have you thought about your future, son?"

  • "You're going to laugh about all of this when I explain it..." runs out of room

  • It's certainly a double-edged sword. Being at home is a net positive, but the pay cut, workload, and weird never-leaving-the-office feeling is there.

  • Doing the Lord's work, I see. I should've been more explicit with my explanation, like explaining what this was doing on my TV. Didn't want to "explain the joke," though.

  • It's a silly way to define Tsongsul, which came up on that episode of Food Theory. Tweens think it's top-tier comedy.

  • It's from a YouTube series called Food Theory . It's the same host of Game Theory, but they tackle topics like certain food myths (like what's in a Krabby Patty or if you could actually eat a horse). It's a silly show with some insightful trivia sprinkled throughout.

  • I could've sworn I saw this same shirt on there.

  • Working from home. It sounds like a dream, but it's called a job for a reason.

  • We just need some duct tape, rope, and a windowless van, and we're on Easy Street, fellas!

  • hehe
