Those suspended magnetic mouse wheels could be different in that way. How could I tell for sure? Without disassembling the mouse and almost certainly breaking it in the process because I’m extremely incompetent with my hands, I mean.

Huh. I was convinced there was a bigger difference.

Doesn’t that kinda make Canada look smaller than the US?

More focus on open-world titles and games as a service? Every time I think they’ve hit the bottom, they manage to dig deeper.

Oh, you don’t need the music to need to shout. The high ceiling achieves that by itself. Echo, space to fill, or something. Not to knowledgeable about acoustics.
I really wish they made restaurants with low ceilings. You take the tallest people who are likely to come, you add maybe 30 cm, and that’s more than high enough, right? No, they’ve gotta have ceilings so high they could genuinely fit two floors in the one they have. It’s a waste of space, too.

Honestly they should lend their branding to an energy drink brand. Wouldn’t it sell well?

The bad part isn’t the number of votes. That’s barely relevant.
The bad part is what happens when the budget bill doesn’t pass. There are two valid possibilities:
- The previous year’s budget is provisionally renewed as-is until an agreement is reached
- The non-passing of the bill acts as a vote of no confidence against the government and elections are held. In the mean time, the previous year’s budget is provisionally renewed as-is.
Shutting down funding for government services is an incredibly dumb way to handle it.

You think they can’t redirect their ludicrous police forces (including ICE) to brutalize millions? Don’t underestimate fascism.

They’re a terrible gift. I have a zillion candles they I keep around and can’t quite get around to throwing away

I just noticed the poster… What the hell is up with that raised leg? Is it pervert bait?
- Comment on Flashbacks scenes in Movies/TV should be depicted as being more blurry than present scenes, since most people can't actually remember a past event that accurately. 3 months ago:
Sometimes they’re desaturated.
Sometimes they’re 3:4.
Sometimes they’re straight-up black and white.
Changing something about the appearance of of the image is done often. But I don’t think blurry would do unless it’s a really short flashback. It would either look like a mistake (camera not in focus for instance), not be intense enough to be apparent on smaller or lower resolution TVs, or be distracting and annoying to the viewer (say, some sort of foveated motion blur).

I’ve played it once in the past. Just the normal poker with five cards in your hand and you get two rounds of changing cards.
It was fun.
I lost 2 imaginary dollars.
- Comment on Truly 4 months ago:
I guess, but at that point I can do that in your average JRPG or something. I feel like it would be more fun with people. Unless they’re paying the Texas game with all the cards in the middle. That one is complicated and you only have two cards of yours and I really don’t have fun with it.
- Comment on Truly 4 months ago:
I don’t get slot machines. They’re not even slightly fun.
I wish casinos had fun games with small bets. Like, I don’t know, poker where you can play several hands with 20 dollars.
But as it stands, I don’t think I’ll ever visit a casino again. It’s either boring slots or you need to be rich to play the “real” games.

Uh, high school science teacher. Never really looked it up until today but considering there’s science on the reverse effect (less oxygen for slower aging), I’d say it’s probably not bullshit.

Damn it

I just meant breathing more oxygen makes you agree faster

Oxygen chamber? Sounds like a great way to die early
- Comment on Don't get mad, get even 4 months ago:
Microwaves designed for public use often don’t have them. I never really knew whether it’s because they don’t need them because they have more magnetrons or something, or just because they prioritize easy cleaning.

Asterisk: there is such a thing as “minimum wage for tipped workers”, which is lower than the normal minimum wage. At least in some provinces.
For instance, in Quebec, the normal minimum wage is $16.10 per hour, but for tipped workers, it’s $12.90$.
And yes, my reaction to this is also “what the fuck”.

You WRITE the tip amount on the receipt? How does the payment terminal know how much to take?
