I didn’t fuck the chassis up. That’s all I’m saying.

I knew someone in high school who had a hard cover copy of the book with the design, and inside at one particular point the text changes color as it describes everything. No spoilers, if you’ve read it you know. I don’t recall if the movie had that exact scene. Also don’t know if every copy of the book does that, but being what it was, it was surreal, as it was meant to be.

Sure, let’s keep going towards the goal of better solutions. Even this meme doesn’t say or imply that it has to be all green, and it simply can’t. Some things need a high energy density or other features that unfortunately only petroleum has. It really is an amazing substance. That causes problems. Everything has a cost.

That’s what holds US gas prices down, subsidies. Helping large scale things be possible is what a government should do. There’s many things that wouldn’t have happened without the government paying for it.

The kicker is that if they switched to green and took away paying for petroleum, things would collapse, as green alone isn’t going to support our society. That’s the dead end we’ve walked ourselves into. It’s not one or the other, it’s what can we supplement or phase out with a better solution. And that kind of work needs government support, from subsidies to regulations to a supervisor that directs the change vs. relying only on free market.

I prefer floor().

I thought .15, but I can’t say I’ve even seen that many revisions at that level normally. I knew someone would round up in a comment after a posted. lol

3.14.1 will be perfection.

I learned a long time ago from shows to just look at the eye color. Red is evil, blue is not. I think that’s a universal rule that can’t be broken.

Martian. Or a maybe a Belter.

They all have different personalities. Even among the ones like this that are bent on attacking everything, some do it more playfully and even with minimal clawing, while others are nightmare devils that are in kill mode. Who later are curled up in your lap all lovable.

Mine isn’t that bad - only 20 years old but has seen all sorts of things from rocks and sand to hail and is just pitted bad enough to be annoying. But it’s that fact that I’ve seen the abuse it’s gone through without the first hairline crack that makes me cautious to get rid of something that’s stood the test of time. It’s either the angle or the glass (doubtful), but at this point it can’t be just luck, right? I just hear horror stories of replacement glass that isn’t fitted right, leaks, or breaks early on. I can deal with it a bit longer.

Then lose their mind when it is followed by more repeats of “What’s New Pussycat”.

I got a face full of web recently because I wasn’t paying attention and it was dark. Didn’t get mad, it was my fault, even said I was sorry to the spider who jumped away. But it takes a bit to get over that feeling.

Picard, his face in palm. Riker, his grin wide.

Exactly. I haven’t done a movie outing in a long time, but the after-movie discussions with one or more people is always the best part, while it’s fresh in your minds. You can do the same online, and it’s great too, but it doesn’t have the same “rush”.

It wasn’t enough to move it from its orbit around its parent body, so if they both impact Earth or Mars at some point it was going to happen anyway. They’re only city killers, it won’t be a global issue other than dust thrown up for a while. Sucks if you’re at that point though, you get two for the price of one.

My first experience with this was when I was young and watched a Monty Python episode with my father, thinking that since we shared a sense of humor it would hit him the same way it did me. Apparently we shared some types of humor, but the combination of British higher level comedy satire mixed with absurbism didn’t hit well, and he found nothing at all funny. Which now I’m fine with including him not pretending to get it, but as a kid it really stung to expect a connection that totally failed.

From then on when sharing stuff I try to just put it out there and not force anything to happen. The last experience was on vacation at a hotel with my wife. One of the nights I saw The Big Short on the movie selection and suggested we watch it. I just introduced it as a dark comedy documentary about the 2008 crash and it had Steve Farrel, and let her watch without expectation or prompting of moments. I was really pleased when not only did she understand and enjoy it during the watch, but asked questions and we talked about it afterwards. Now, yeah, she’s my long time wife, but that doesn’t means things often click like that as we are different people with different viewpoints and taste, so it was definitely a wonderful experience to have that kind of feedback.

It may be overused, but I swear any comedy bit that uses a well done “What?” always gets a laugh from me. A simple word, but says so much.
