I file them the moment I get my W-2. Why wait? You aren't paying less if you owe, and you won't be refunded more

Was this before, or after he called a former commander of the ISS "fully retarded?"

I find the XCOM comparisons funny because the game actually tilts the RNG in the player's favor and people still think it's unfair

I'm just tired of the genre. I have played Morrowind, and Oblivion, and Skyrim, and Fallout 3, and New Vegas, and Fallout 4, and Fallout 76, and Outer Worlds, and Cyberpunk, and Starfield. I'm good.

Give me more Hi-Fi Rush. Give me more Atlas: Reign of Sand. Give me more Eternal Strands.

I am down to have monthly updates for the next few years, weekly updates through 2031, and daily updates throughout 2032

I just feel like if we do daily updates for the next 7 years when it's in all likelihood going to miss us, we'll be too complacent when an asteroid does have an impact trajectory

[–] starman2112 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

It technically would alter the moons orbit, but not by a lot. This asteroid would impact with roughly the energy of a nuclear bomb, which sounds like a lot, but on the scale of our moon it's negligible.

A rough estimation given my limited understanding of physics is that to change the moon's orbit by 1 m/s, you would need to impart something like 10²² joules of energy into it. Wikipedia says that if this asteroid hits the moon, the impact energy will be around 10¹⁶ joules. I don't know how much you know about exponents, but 10¹⁶ is approximately 0% of the way to 10²², and that's just change of 1 m/s

Of course, someone who actually understands physics is free to correct me if I'm wrong

Can we please not post daily updates? This is still 7 years away

When technology was too hard for the tech-illiterate to use, your grandma wasn't sharing stories about Haitians eating cats and dogs, and your deadbeat cousin didn't waste his life savings on Trump's cryptocurrency

Guess I'm getting nerd sniped. In the bottom right corner, we see

Where the question marks are squares we don't know the status of, and the boots are where his feet are.

I actually don't think this board can be solved. If we format it like this

We can see that 2nd square in the middle column must be mined, and that clears all three question marks in the 4th column. But one of the bottom two squares in the fourth column must be mined.

I suppose if the board extends farther under the grass than we can see, then it would look like this

and would be solvable. Now I'm worried about the mines that are under the grass. Do we even know how far the minefield goes? I hope he was really careful to mark where he walked so he has a safe path out

I'm doing a thousand calculations per second, and they're all wrong!

boimgfrog

Radish. Answer the question radish.

radishnt

yeah??? i thought for like. 5 years that ppl just put it in hot water 2 speed up the tea-ification process didn't realize there was an actual reason

#u think i have the patience to boil water wtf ?????

You dont have the patience to microwave water for 3 minutes???

[ID: Tags reading "u think i have the patience to boil water wtf?????" /End ID]

why are you. putting it in the microwave to boil it

———

boimgfrog

Do you think I have the patience to boil water on the stove

———

catsnraincoats

Its takes less than a minute

———

boimgfrog

Bestie is ur stovetop powered by the fucking sun

———

catsnraincoats

How long does it take you to boil a cup of water on the stove

———

boimgfrog

Like seven minutes

———

catsnraincoats

Just stick the mug on top of the stove on medium heat n it boils in like two minutes... less than that is u use a saucepan...

———

boimgfrog

Crying you're putting the whole mug on the stove ???? On medium heat???? Ur stove is enchanted

(Enter RADISHN'T, MOTHMAN MISATO, BOIMG FROG and CATS'N RAINCOATS, stage left. They are having a HEATED DISCUSSION.)

RADISHN'T: Prithee, which one of you had planned to tell

Of diff'rent flavours gained by simple act

Of brewing tea with water hot, not cold?

MOTHMAN: Egad! you poured the water cold? Wherefore?!

FROG: An answer from you, Radish, I must beg.

RADISHN'T: Indeed I did, dear friends - why does this shock?

Without the guide of others I assumed

That heat was merely added for the sake

Of expediting this solution's brewing!

Half a decade I have spent, or more,

Not questioning this worldview I had made.

In fact, I am myself a bit surprised

That you might think that I, your dearest friend,

Might have a patience of sufficient stock

To wait until a pot of water boils.

FROG: Three minutes overtaxes patience so?

The microwave will beep when it is done!

CATS'N: My friend, this answer vexes me the more!

Can it be true that thou dost boil by nuke?!

FROG: Are you in turn, my friend, so shocked to know

That I have not the patience, like our Root,

To boil upon the stove our favour'd drink?

CATS'N: It takes less than a minute!

FROG: On what plate?

Perhaps your dinner cooks atop the sun?

CATS'N: How long can take your stove to fill the task

Of boiling but a single cup alone?

FROG: In minutes?

CATS'N: Yes!

FROG: I counted seven, once.

CATS'N: Perhaps you ought to have your timepiece checked!

If on a middle heat you place the cup

You soon will have the scalding drink you crave.

Two minutes, in a mug upon the plate

Or even less, if you should have a pot.

FROG: You cause me tears - is this how thou dost live?

You place upon the iron stove a mug?

A mug, ceramic, filled with water cold?

How do these flames, though medium in height,

Not shatter like a glass this fragile thing?

Surely, then, your kitchen is bewitched

With magicks far beyond the mortal ken!

(The FOUR realise they have wandered into the THRONE ROOM. The ROYAL COURT watches with fascination.)

KING: Ev'ry single person in this group

must be a fucking lunatic, it seems.
