How do these compare to ones from Sennheiser? I've been thinking about getting a pair.

What are you talking about? He asked Bill about getting bitten in Groundhog Day and the strikes at the end of Kingpin, and every fan already knows those stories are true. That's like the lowest hanging fruit possible.

Should I have said Stripes or Quick Change or What About Bob instead? Those films just aren't as good.

Aw, don't say it like that. He's younger than my dad.

I wanted this to be so much longer! They didn't even talk about Ghostbusters or Lost in Translation. Still pretty great though.

Ok, this is a thoughtful response and I appreciate it. Thank you. I don't have much to add except that these seem like valid criticisms.

EDIT: Also I'm not sure it's possible for an anti-imperialist candidate to get elected at the national level in the US. The military-industrialists have basically unlimited money to oppose them.

I heard he was busy filming one that night that healthcare CEO got shot.

And bringing additional people with them!

Haha..ha.. ha

If you want to give KDE a shot, you don't need to buy a Deck. Just grab a live installer image from a Linux distro you like, tons of them let you boot and try it out from RAM without actually installing to your hard disk.

I'm pretty UI agnostic (many years with Windows, Mac, ChromeOS, Unity, a few with xfce, and a bit with Cinnamon). I almost picked Gnome on a recent update to my primary home machine for its clean Mac-ish feel, but SteamOS convinced me that modern KDE is actually rather nice.

If you live somewhere with mosquitos, you can't win.

Dark colors: better for stains, worse for avoiding mosquitos

Light colors: worse for stains, better for avoiding mosquitos

I'm not sure what there is to discuss. These seem pretty accurate at this point.

Note, it has Denuvo DRM. That's a hard pass from me. Capcom has even gone back and added this garbage to past games that lacked it, so I wouldn't trust them.

Oof, that's a good one. What's the data source for the graph?

I used to do tech support with them as a client. Worst IT team to work with, they were always impatient jerks. I never did figure out if the company hired shitty people in the first place or just treated them like dirt with no outlet for their stress except outside vendors.

Yep, I've been using the same basic feature on stock Android for years as well, with Magisk and Advanced Charging Controller (ACC).

I mean, this is just using the traditional North American grain -- corn -- instead of rice.

Are you saying my culture is wrong?! /s

So, it's raw?

Four is bad luck in Japanese superstition, because its pronunciation ('shi') is the same as the word for 'death'.

So, I picked it by choosing 12^3 + 2. I wanted to start with something easily factored (power of 12) and not too small, but not interesting because of its factorization. And I wanted it to be even, since odd numbers tend to have funny quirks. So a simple +2.

What's amusing is that I did this before looking at the Wikipedia page. According to that, the original number that inspired this paradox was 1729. So just by happenstance, I picked one integer higher than the original "uninteresting" number. Which I guess arguably makes 1730 interesting now (though admittedly not for mathematical reasons).
