Way to make me feel old, I don’t know any of those games.

Where’s my late 90s early 2000s gamers at?

I’m going to nominate:

• Fallout (1997) for plot twists and introducing (to me at least) open world role playing.
• Fallout 2 (1998) for further plot twists
• Max Payne (2001) for stealing bullet time from the matrix and putting it in a game
• Mafia (2002) for being a kick ass game that would blow your mind, by making 6 hours of your night disappear, and not lifting the lid on that plot twist before you heard the birds start singing, and realize that you should probably hit the shower and get to school.

I don’t know if you’re being sarcastic, but your comment is so true it hurts. When you first figure out how minesweeper works, your mind is blown away.

AFAIK yes, at least I didn’t notice anything strange, and I believe the one I looked at in the comparison (at a dealership) even had a proper keyhole in the driver door.

IDK about new car figures, but I’m in the market for another EV. I found a Tesla model 3 long range awd that had done about 150k km, and a Renault Zoe with 15k km and 2/3 the range. The Renault is slightly cheaper, but it’s Musk being a loose canon that’s the reason why I’m going with the Zoe instead. Sure it’s a nicer car, if it works, but the fear that Musk get’s high and disables non-essential stuff is too real.

So in my case Musk has directly affected my used car choice.

Have you tried sulfuric acid on organic matter? Found some H2SO4 when I was a kid and began pouring it on stuff. Plants and chicken shit were really good for an orange cloud… Don’t stand down wind

Don’t use an acid for mammalian necromass. I hear that NaOH should be a good degreaser…

That or pigs apparently. If you already have the body in parts, don’t put in the freezer for your mom locate. I hear the best thing to do is feed them to pigs. You got to starve the pigs for a few days, then the sight of a chopped-up body will look like curry to a pisshead. You gotta shave the heads of your victims, and pull the teeth out for the sake of the piggies’ digestion. You could do this afterwards, of course, but you don’t want to go sievin’ through pig shit, now do you? They will go through bone like butter. You need at least sixteen pigs to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm. They will go through a body that weighs 200 pounds in about eight minutes. That means that a single pig can consume two pounds of uncooked flesh every minute. Hence the expression, “as greedy as a pig”.

Actually, you could let the pigs it all, lock, stock, and barrels, and then use a healthy dose of lye (that’s the NaOH from before) to treat the pigs’ shit for any left over solids. I’m not much of a chemist, but I do reckon that you’re left with any identifiable pieces after that ordeal.

Your dinner, their choice

So, like of Michael Douglas’ character didn’t die at the end of Falling Down and they did a sequel? I have a hunch that a lot of MAGAts actually consider him the hero of the movie.

Let’s save the world by putting tariffs on magma, making an eruption economically infeasible.

[…] the percentage of trans people in the US between 1999 and now would’ve been on an upward trajectory […]

A larger fraction of the population in most western countries are certainly openly trans now, than were in 1999. But I don’t know about all trans people, I think the fraction has stayed the same, but coming out has become easier (I’m not saying that it’s easy, I’m saying that I believe that it’s easier than in 1999)

But let’s assume that you’re right, and fewer people used to be trans compared to the population size. That would mean fewer expected school shootings by trans people. Which could explain how the expected interval in my calculations is 2-7 shooters while we’ve only seen one. Once again confirming that trans people are just people.

Base load isn’t really a thing.

How do you figure that?

This is the problem with pro nuclear. There isn’t an understanding of the issue.

Is this an attempt at insult? If you believe that I have misunderstood something, then please enlighten me.

Lets not talk about reaction time of fission plants.

Agreed, let’s leave that out of the equation, as then the only viable backup to solar and vind, using current technology, is burning stuff.

According the “hustler’s university 4.0” website you can get in for as little as 49USD (which is a steal, when the posted before price is 147USD)

Imagine scamming 8x10^5 for just 50USD each, I mean it’s not like a considerable criminal investigation will get started for 50 bucks, but the chinless douche is walking away with 40million, from that scam alone. And I’ll bet that there will be special courses with an additional charge, as well as merch and PPV webinars. Safe to say it’s not just 40million Tate has scammed kids for.

With trans people making up 0.5-1.6% of the US population, wouldn’t it be strange if not a single school shooter was trans?

That question lead me down a rabbit hole: There have been 417 school shootings since Columbine in 1999 https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/interactive/school-shootings-database/

I don’t have statistics on the number of school shootings perpetrated by multiple people. But I suspect that it’s a miniscule number. So I’m going to go with 417 individuals carrying out acts counted as school shootings. And not to try to be John Oliver or something, but what counts as a school shooting may be as little as this numbnuts who shot them self in the leg in a high school parking lot https://www.wptv.com/news/region-the-glades/belle-glade/lockdown-lifted-at-glades-central-high-school-following-shooting.

0.5% of 417 is 2.1 and 1.6% is 6.7.

Meaning that somewhere between 2 and 7 trans school shooters would indicate that trans people are just as likely as cis people to carry out school shootings. That only a single shooter has been trans, may not be statistically significant, as we’re dealing with integers and it’s pretty darn close.

So I’m left to conclude that being trans isn’t significant in being a school shooter. Trans people may just be as fucked up as the rest of us.

What I’m more interested in is how the trans man in Nashville in 2023 would have counted, if this statistic didn’t only cover until 2022 https://www.statista.com/statistics/1463155/active-shooters-us-schools-by-gender/

The artist obviously haven’t used a chainsaw. That guy is about to get a face full of knocked backed chainsaw, let’s hope the brake works.

Edit: I just noticed how his feet are positioned. WTF? both feet flat on the ground! Is he walking beneath the branch he’s cutting? Gah!

We’ve postponed nuclear for +40 years, causing climate change to get further and further out of hands.

Thanks Greenpeace /s

Not really, not right now it isn’t. If you want to cover baseload with wind and solar you’ll need energy storage. We haven’t got a solution that scales well, yet.

I don’t want to defend the police here. It seems like they’re more than capable of defending themselves against toddlers and innocent people sleeping in their homes.

What I will say though is on the efficiency of tasers. They’re grrrreat, if you get skin contact with both electrodes, on the first try. But both prongs must hit, pierce the clothing, and get skin contact. Reloading the taser, or switching to the side arm, can take too long. There’s a lot of myths about what will stop a taser, and I guess that some of the myths are affecting cops in their choice of force method.

But going for the gun on a disturbance call about a woman with a baby and the baby’s grandmother? And shooting the baby? What, as the baby identified as an armed and dangerous fugitive?

And it’s not on me to find the burden of truth for you. That’s a logical fallacy and a bad arguing tactic

FFS I wasn’t trying to argue with you. Since you quoted some very specific numbers, I thought that you had done some recent research on the matter, and thus had an up to date knowledge of the current studies. In that case copy pasting said references from endnote should have taken 30 seconds and provided the community with a lot of valuable info.

I wasn’t trying to get you to search for studies that would back up your claims, I thought you had them already.

Why does asking for citations equal arguing? Where did I even hint that I thought you were wrong? I very much tried to make my intentions clear, yet everyone still think that I’m some smuck smart-ass trying to win an argument … an argument I wasn’t even part of to begin with.

Thanks for clarifying. And if writing concise was an Olympic discipline, you’d be in the elite compared to me :)

if you don’t expect yourself to give any sources to your claims […]

Which claims have I made?
