Why wait all the way to Turn 1?

Let the newbie go first, and kill them in their first upkeep with Hulk Flash.

I showed up to vote. But not enough others were excited to do so.

It’s placebo in any practical sense. As mixtures become more dilute they essentially become pure water: anything over 23 dilutions becomes statistically unlikely to have even a single atom of the original substance in it at all. And the trials on it are indistinguishable from placebo.

I just now realized that XviD was DivX backwards.

Back in the day, I never knew the difference between the two, I just saw DivX getting gradually replaced by XviD.

People are focusing on the “violence begets violence” in the title but not this:

“I wanted to make that movie so badly, but I felt the only way was, it had to be a love story, not a vengeance story,” Smith said.

And… I get that? I liked Django and all, but I can see how Will might not like the bloody climax where the focus is more on the revenge than rescuing his wife. I think it’s fine he passed on the role and let it go to someone who was more invested with the revenge story.

Obviously, the best Nicholas Cage movie is Adaptation, because he’s in it twice.

It’s code for “I can’t do any price discrimination on my own and rely on the seller telling me they’re giving me a good deal.”

No, Alice’s argument was fallacious. Whether her conclusion was true or false is not clear from her argument.

It has been claimed that American opposition to the convention stems primarily from political and religious conservatives.

Shocking.

Watch Steamboat Willie. The title card says it’s a “Mickey Mouse Sound Cartoon.”

Steamboat Willie was actually the third Mickey cartoon developed, but was the first to get wide release. All three prominently featured Mickey’s name.

If you’re posting something, it’s your job to do so in a way that people can understand your posts. Posting a bunch of industry-specific acronyms and then being condescending when someone asks you to clarify because they didn’t go and do homework on your stupid post doesn’t make them look dumb, it makes you look like a smug prick.

There are a lot of bad one off Christmas songs, but Wonderful Christmastime is the worst one that still gets played every year.

And before anyone says it: All I Want for Christmas Is You is the most overplayed, but not the worst. And Christmas Wrapping is the most underrated.

Tosses paper on top of work pile, then leaves for the weekend.

Coffee is sort of like beer: the bitterness is way too strong for kids, but tolerable for adults.

Most people cut it with cream and sugar, but if you have a decent quality coffee it becomes easy to tolerate it black.

Windows features are not prioritized for those paying customers who bought licenses, but linux features are prioritized for non-paying linux users.

The real answer is that for profit companies develop features to maximize their profits. User-prioritized features are only added to the extent that they draw and maintain customers. Outside of that, companies don’t care if you’re happy or not, regardless of how much you’ve paid.

Back in the day decks had a 40 card minimum and no max copies of cards. There were decks that were just mountains and lightning bolts. So getting a combo like this out wasn’t completely unheard of.

Nowadays, combos need lots of drawing and fishing to hit in the first couple turns.

You don’t make your measures your targets.

Example:

“Our customers hate us. We will make our employees get a 10 on their surveys for each customer or we’ll punish them” makes the measure a target.

“Our customers hate us, so we’re going to change our shitty policies to be more consumer friendly and see how our customers respond” keeps the measure as a measure.

Hell no. The housing taxes alone in my area are going to be like $7-8k for the two houses, average health insurance for a single person was about $8k in 2021, and average spend on food each year was about $9k. That’s already overbudget and we haven’t even figured in income tax yet, let alone utilities, repairs, and any other expenses.

And Jude Wanniski, author of The Two Santa Claus Theory, which has become the backbone of Republican stupidity ever since.

And she only asked McDonalds to cover her medical bills. It was the jury who threw out her request and instead punished McDonalds with the huge settlement, because they were horrified by how grossly negligent the company had been and decided her request wasn’t a strong enough punishment.
