  Wait is that true? I hit 104 like once every 3 months. I’ve been having regular fevers every month or so since I was like 7 and every couple times they get baaaad.

  5 and I know this because it’s the fork that lives in my room at all times because it’s my favorite fork and I don’t like when someone else dirties it or misplaces it. It’s my desk fork. Always ready for leftovers or door dash. It’s the perfect fork.

  I still find it absolutely hilarious that I know you can fit an entire N64 in the pockets of JNCO jeans. Absolutely legendary pants.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I saw dudes show up to class with just shorts and flip flops on. No shirt at all.

  I’ve seen women show up in basically a thong and nipple pasties.

  What college professor is getting their panties all up in a twist over shit like the human body? I can understand not wanting literal dressing like that in highschool but in college?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's a cancelled game you really miss?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The StarCraft FPS.

  I’m still mad about it.

  …how else would people around me know what direction I’m about to move 2+ tons of metal???

  I can’t stand how often I see people changing lanes or taking turns with ZERO blinker usage. Selfish short sighted fucks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Best starter hands-down⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I always started with Bulbasaur mostly because my favorite color is green but also because grass types absolutely obliterate the first gym. I also find poison/leech to be a fantastic combo for catching pokemon later. Really get em down to exactly 1hp if you want.

  The FDA will allow like a whole cockroach to get blended into a jar of peanut butter before they even give a shit.

  If you live in a developed country with some sort of food standards you are probably going to live just fine eating 99.99% of the things you see in a daily basis.

  As for restaurant workers making mistakes… Yeah. If you’re the type of person who gets repulsed by your own hair falling into your food maybe avoid eating out. I have pulled someone else’s hair out of my food and kept eating. Shit happens and I already paid for the food. It would have to be like a bloody bandaid or something for me to actually send back food.

  Jokes aside I appreciate the work y’all do to keep this sorta thing running without any pay or thanks for the most part.

  I am greatful.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you answer the question "What's new with you?" when nothing happens in your life?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “I am unfortunately still here” is my go-to. People seem to leave you alone if you joke about killing yourself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I like playing games that incentivise stealth as Michael Bay films. Give me rocket launchers and c4. Yeah I don’t have the high score for the level but I will kill literally every single non-vital NPC.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo is Bringing Us Kicking and Screaming Into the $80 Game Era with the Switch 2⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean yeah. There are clearly a TON of people who are willing to spend exorbitant amounts on the same shitty sports game every year with zero improvements.

  Until the consumers stop buying the slop and gargling down the micro transactions and battle passes I think AAA is cooked.

  I mostly play indie games these days now anyways. If I am playing a AAA game its probably been out for a few years and I got it on sale from steam for like 75% off or more.

  I think most gamers have recognized that AAA is garbage these days. Only time will tell if the major companies change their behaviors or ride that slop heap into the grave as many large and one great studios already have.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo is Bringing Us Kicking and Screaming Into the $80 Game Era with the Switch 2⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah but you gotta remember the tech savvy pirating types are the minority by a long ways. Average Joe is just gonna pay the 5 bucks to watch his favorite childhood movie on a whim. Just like he’s probably gonna shell out 80 bucks for a game he’s gonna play for a couple hundred hours.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo is Bringing Us Kicking and Screaming Into the $80 Game Era with the Switch 2⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I was curious so went and looked at my top 3.

  Free now (paid 30 bucks for csgo back in the day) CS2 ~7500 hours

  $30 Hunt showdown ~1200 hours

  $25 beamNG ~1000 hours.

  Now those cost per hour figures don’t take into account the thousands of dollars on skins in CS I spent over the years, but still. Even with the money I spent on skins and keys I got way more than my moneuss worth out of counter strike.

  Hunt I bought a bunch of DLC to support the devs until they drove that game into the ground and now I wish I could refund all of it. Fuck Crytek and David Fifield. If that man ever gets hired at another company run from any game he touches.

  beamNG I actually bought before it was even on steam as a tech demo on a stand alone client. Easily the best investment in terms of fun per dollars spent. I would give them more money if they let me.

  Idk man. I do think 80 bucks for Nintendo games is a bit steep but if someone is having fun and they feel they got their moneys worth out of it I ain’t gonna bash em.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo is Bringing Us Kicking and Screaming Into the $80 Game Era with the Switch 2⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Which I recognize. I still feel like there is a weird disconnect between gamers and cost. If I spent 80 bucks on a game and I get hundreds of hours of fun out of it that was easily worth the money. I have spent far more on significantly worse fun per dollar events over the years.

  I just find it kinda funny how gamers get with the costs of games when compared to their spending on other media. Like how many people complaining about the 80 dollar games have rented a movie on Amazon for 5 bucks or something. That’s a 2.50 an hour for entertainment at best.

  I won’t be buying the console or the 80 dollar games but I find the conversation and interesting one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨California’s Regulations, Not Price Gouging, Cause High Gas Prices, USC Study Finds⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Anyone who lives in California can tell you regulations are part of the reason it’s so expensive to do anything here. You think that high speed rail line from LA to SF actually costs as much as they claim? That shit inflated out of control primarily because of all the permits and licensing and fees they had to deal with. Every time they gave a price estimate update the price has doubled and it was/is ridiculous.

  I find it really funny when the same people who want the high speed rail so badly also don’t see any issues with the rampant regulations and governmental fuckery.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo is Bringing Us Kicking and Screaming Into the $80 Game Era with the Switch 2⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not defending this behavior but keeping up with inflation games that cost 60 bucks in the early 90s would cost well over 120 today.

  I know they don’t do physical media as much or at all in some cases.

  I’m just pointing out that technically 80 bucks for a game is still a good ways behind inflation.

  Not defending it. Just pointing it out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That is simply not true. 130kph is the recommended speed. For certain marked stretches of the Autobahn there is no speed limit and it is understood that you do not pull into the left lane without checking for fast moving cars behind you. If they find that you still would have crashed if you had been going 130kph you are unlikely to be held responsible.

  She was filming a video at the time and when she woke up in the hospital days later the German police told her what had happened and she was not found to be at fault at all. The deceased person who had pulled into the left lane without checking was entirely at fault. She flew home as soon as the German doctors had done the major surgery to her legs and spine.

  My mom’s entire side of the family is German and many of them still live in Germany. Talks about the Autobahn have come up at family gatherings on multiple occasions.

  I am willing to admit my data might be out of date, but from a quick Google it appears to still be the same rules.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s about 3 times the speed limit for most highways in most places. Give or take.

  The stopping distance at those speeds is 500+ meters.

  Even with the best tires, brakes and driver that’s several football fields end to end before that car comes to a stop. If anything happens at those speeds it is unlikely the driver will be able to do anything about it in time.

  There was a woman that worked for a car magazine that was doing a video on the Autobahn and someone pulled out in front of her around those speeds she instantly killed everyone on the vehicle she hit and she was left permanently injured and barely able to walk. She wasn’t even at fault in that situation either. It’s the job of the people pulling into the fast lane to check for fast moving cars and for whatever reason they didn’t.

  You friend is playing a dangerous game with more than their own life.

  Oh yeah. If you’ve been typing on one of these for awhile and then you switch to a modern mechanical keyboard you’ll be bottoming out the keys constantly. You should get some o rings or pads to help with the sound if you’re still slamming keys that hard after all these years lol.

  My great aunt left me her typewriter when she passed. My father holds onto it as I have nowhere too to store it and he enjoys using it from time to time. It’s becoming harder and harder to find replacement ribbons or people that can repair it at all, but it’s still kicking. I typed out a few short papers on it in highschool just for fun.

  I’m not 100% sure that’s the exact model I have but it looks like the right one.

  You can rise… But let’s be extra careful with raising that right arm.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does tea taste different when I drink it outside?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The smell/taste senses are very closely related and cross paths in the brain somewhat.

  If you ever want to freak yourself out plug your nose while you eat some of your favorite foods and only exhale slowly while chewing. It’ll taste all sorts of weird.

  My guess is the smell outside is interfering with what your brain is used to from the smell inside while drinking tea.

  But don’t rise too quickly. I know our backs don’t like that.

  I don’t know the answer to your question specifically but I will say that many specialty vehicles have the seats in all sorts of unusual locations because of the task they perform and it is irrelevant where in the world they are as far as I know.

  Says the company that has said this about every single version of their glass for the last 10+ years?

  Don’t get me wrong I love how durable and scratch resistant modern phone screens are compared to the first ones, but let’s not kid ourselves. These are tiny incremental improvements each generation at this point.
