Maybe it's super efficient insulating material and the electricity is only needed to maintain the temperature.

Yeah, people are either spoiled or deluded with games needing to be 100+ hours, especially cause those hours are often padded with garbage.

Shadows of doubt gives you at least 10-20 hours of hilarious procedural generation that actually hangs together as an immersive sim. You start to see the seams pretty quickly but by the time that happens you're digging into the actual mechanics. Also the devs take their time on updates but the last update was pretty huge so they obviously have a pretty big scope for the game.

Much more likely that the guy had some trait that she didn't like that was much more hurtful and/or she knew the guy would not react to being told about the trait well. Better to just confuse the guy with some arbitrary insult and cut the relationship off.

That or she was cheating

Most likely this is fake.

2 fifths of liquor is absolutely ludicrous except for the absolute hardest of alcoholics.

Not to mention that while the alcohol might be equivalent, the more concentrated alcohol gets the harder it works on your body. You'll have a much worse night/morning if you drank 6 shots of whiskey instead of 6 beers.

Idk for sure, but maybe look into recumbent bikes? 3 wheels for more support and usually outfitted with a full seat and not just a bike post.

I mean it's like walking for 10 hours but with less chafing, hell, you can remain with your head above water with very minimal exertion by just flexing enough chest and neck muscles to keep your mouth above water while lying submerged. I wonder if that's where the 40hr upper limit comes from.

In further proof that context always matters, this would be a hilarious tweet if it came from a satire account.

You... Didn't read my post. I wonder what exactly you assumed I said?

I appreciate the nonchalance but the help agent orange offered from the inside was calling off some guards for a little bit and mostly just not making a speech telling his fans to calm down. The fact is that January 6th was a pretty disorganized protest that turned into a riot due to a handful of instigators and what we discovered is that the capitol building is not routinely well protected and only avoided riots like this because they hadn't happened.

Which is a good thing. Public institutions should be kept safe because they serve the people well enough that no one wants to take them over. Not because they employ an overwhelming police force to keep the public out. (The original intent was that citizens would be able to just walk around most of these buildings if they wanted to see the government functioning, imagine that eh?)

Now, obviously, DC is going to be on lockdown during inauguration day (as it should be) with a lot more military/police presence. But my point is that if an actually semi-organized militia had been there on Jan 6th with just a few more pistols and some designated leaders and organizers, they would have easily made it into the capitol even if trump had actually done everything to stop them. They would have been massacred in the resulting conflict as the US military sent its full force at them ofc but it would have been a much more consequential day.

This isn't me going to bat for anyone, the right wing militias are pitiful both in numbers and training. It's just that I think the potential for danger and bloodshed when these guys finally snap and make their desperate bid for attention will be a little more violent than I see people seem to think.

Tom Scott was a good YouTuber because his ego was able to handle him voluntarily stepping down.
