The bigger issue is you can’t call the customer an asshole as your hang up the receiver after having already pressed the button to disconnect the call. Now you have to pause the profanity for a few extra moments.

I can’t even hang up my office desk phone by hammering the receiver disconnect button with my finger anymore, the receiver has a sensor that detects it is close to the cradle.

Technology has gone too far.

For me specifically it is because I have dyscalculia. Which made all mathematics is school quite difficult. I could understand reasonably complex ideas and through my own methods could solve equations but I couldn’t show my work because it was all done it my head.

It took me until grade 10 or so to come up with a method to know the multiplication table but it still takes more than a moment to work a simple calculation out.

Oddly I can work out and calculate the weight of a trailer of freight within a few hundred pounds with very little information in order to balance it for shipping but 9 x 8 involves 10 x 8 = 80 - 8 = 72

I failed math multiple times until I was put into math B for the slow people. I did better than the teachers assistant on tests. Went back to regular math the next year thinking I could do it if I was so good at remedial class and failed within a few weeks and stopped going.

At least in males they aren’t getting that luxury.

Even if you know what it is, it may surprise you that more that one species can breathe out of it.

Just to be a devil’s advocate, his life was pretty full of heavy amphetamine addiction from the late 50s to the 90s. His recording sounds like a man singing about the hurt he no doubt caused to himself and those he loved during the decades of drug abuse, no matter how shiny that life looked from the outside.

I don’t disagree. There were better songs on the Analog Worms Attack album but that is the song I remember the name of having not heard it in a decade or more.

Are subsonics the bass sounds that are so low that you can’t hear it but can feel it if the space is small enough?

I used to listen to some electronica that would move my cars subwoofers like crazy but you couldn’t hear an audible base.

Literally no one saw it, he can’t get the image out of his head because it wasn’t there to begin with, except in his lying imagination.

Probably all of them, start with half then charge more to open the second half.

The Orange R by John Clagett written back in 1978 was describing this feedback loop in its story.

In the story Nuclear radiation was poisoning the air and scrubbers all over the country were cleaning up the radiation but were using nuclear power to power them creating a huge feedback loop where more radiation was leaking and needing more scrubbers to clean it.

I won’t give away what they thought about solar power, but it’s awfully close to the same messages that certain orange people say about wind and solar power to this day.

ETA: it’s amazing that back in the '70s they thought our future would be nuclear pollution from power plants while they had polluting coal plants and now 50 plus years later we still have polluting coal plants.

I got to go to up to 7 ingredients and I’m counting the four mandatory veg as one ingredient (1 cup each of carrot, onion, celery and 1 tablespoon of diced garlic) that I call mirepoix.

African ground nut stew:

• 10 chicken thighs
• 4 cups of mirepoix
• Large can of diced tomatoes
• Can of tomato paste
• Cup of chicken stock
• 2 cups of mushrooms

-High pressure for 28 mins

Stir in 3 tablespoons of unsweetened peanut butter to thicken.

If you want to make it 8 ingredients then add hot sauce to taste.

Unfortunately if that were the case we are still many years from discovering the Epstein drive. Still having to deal with the oligarchy and shit conditions unless you are the 1%

My favorite fiction still isn’t good for most people, Hard Sci Fi.

The surest sign of intelligent life in the universe is that it hasn’t communicated with us.

It needs no remake. The original movie made a statement that needs repeating in today’s day and age but is still effective by just rewatching it.

Xenophobic nationalism can’t do anything but crush bugs by throwing as many citizens at it as possible.

This wasn’t the exact message in the original novel but our planet’s current direction politically is definitely leaning towards fascist tendencies in more than one country.

Britain’s history of crushing native populations for financial gain like in Ireland and their need for political power in the middle east mixed in with their antisemitic desire to get Jewish people anywhere that wasn’t Britain, I’m sure it didn’t hurt to kill brown people in order to do it.

People with vending machines aren’t going to be happy, those new ones won’t fit.

Hold on tightly, let go lightly.

The Croupier in Croupier.

It doesn’t come with extra instructions, so it means what I want it to mean and someone else may have it mean something else entirely. For me it means hold on to the important things tightly while they are important and when they aren’t then it is time to let them and other things go.

Don’t carry things that don’t need to be held onto, especially if you can’t control them. I hold onto the memories of my sister both good and bad, I embrace the pain of her not being here anymore when they come, then I let the pain go because I keep ahold of the happiness she brought into people’s lives while she was here.

Can this be done for Burnout Revenge? It was the best game in the series before they had to waste everything they built making an open world racing game.
