  Do it in the style of Choose Your Own Adventure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨College core: you sit in the class for attendance then go home and teach yourself⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly. Full-time college itineraries are based roughly on a full-time 40-hour work week. Each credit represents three hours of study time. One in-class and two out of class. A fifteen-credit itinerary should eat up 45 hours of time. Fifteen in class, 30 of independent study.

  Whenever I see a hot woman on the road, I hit her car just to get her number. Then I never call her because I’m too shy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am an American. I used to be proud of my country. Now it feels like a turd circling the drain. Is there anything going on behind the scene that America is actually doing good in?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is there a way to jump start the mega volcano under the continent? I think we need a reset.

  Mostly hookers. But then it caught on with ice cream truck drivers and souvenir salespeople.

  I was always partial to those belt-worn change dispensers.

  Sacrificing a goat at dawn usually helps. Be sure to soak your phone in its entrails.

  Zuck needs this to exist.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨13,492% sudden interest increase in local Alabama news station⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But are they into her?

  On a scale of one to seven, how cool?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fast as he can.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not a mistake. Trump had a digit added in an effort to make his hands bigger.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Seagate just unleashed 44TB hard drives⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been running their IronWolf Pros for several years now. No issues.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Harvard Places Math Professor Martin Nowak on Paid Administrative Leave Over Epstein Ties⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Bruh, you can’t portmanteau a portmanteau. That’s like dividing by zero.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Harvard Places Math Professor Martin Nowak on Paid Administrative Leave Over Epstein Ties⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a delightful portmanteau.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Harvard Places Math Professor Martin Nowak on Paid Administrative Leave Over Epstein Ties⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It was just a little statutory torture. I don’t see what the problem is.

  Hold my beer. I’m going in.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you effectively backup your high (20+ TB) local NAS?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I put a QNAP on the ISS. Expensive, but I sleep soundly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you effectively backup your high (20+ TB) local NAS?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  But would your data survive a nearby gamma-ray burst?

  I just read the Wikipedia entry for the Heimlich manuever. Its creator is now seen as a big fraud. So much drama around it.

  Heimlich’s son, Peter M. Heimlich, alleges that in August 1974 his father published the first of a series of fraudulent case reports in order to promote the use of abdominal thrusts for near-drowning rescue.

  This was an excerpt from an actual speech he gave at the groundbreaking event for an animal hospital.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Womp womp womp.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t get it either. My cousins lived in Southern New Jersey, near Atlantic City, where all of his casinos went bankrupt. He was notorious for not paying local contractors and some went into horrible debt due to his refusal to pay. Yet that whole region is crazy about him. I suppose they just don’t have very good memories around there.

  That makes sense. Thank you. I think the rules between additive and subtractive mixed together in my head and confused me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is #FFFFFF white, but mixing red green and blue paint is black?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Great explanation. Thank you.

  Can you also tell me how a computer monitor makes Yellow when it only has RGB pixels?
