Seriously, the best most flavorful fruits and veggies are always the ones that are 1 day away from going bad.

He didn't do shit except tell people not to wear a mask and to shine a light up their asses.

Do you actually not remember 2020?

I legitimately know a woman who's divorcing her husband, finding out he was a Trump supporter was the final straw. They've been in a rough spot for the last year or so, he doesn't cook/clean at all.

She was going to leave him a year ago but tried to make it work, finding out he was a secret Trumper sealed the deal for her.

The body is Rottweiler-sized, segmented into overlapping hard plates like those of a rhinoceros. The legs are long, curled way up to deliver power, like a cheetah's. It must be the tail that makes people refer to it as a Rat Thing, because that's the only ratlike part - incredibly long and flexible.

The grass under the Rat Thing is beginning to smoke.

"Careful. Supposedly they have really nasty isotopes inside," Hiro says behind her... "A radioactive substance that makes heat. That's its energy source."

"How do you turn it off?"

"You don't. It keeps making heat until it melts."

The body converges to a sharp nose. In the front it bends down sharply, and there is a black canopy, raked sharply like the windshield of a fighter plane. If the Rat Thing has eyes, this is where it looks out.

As part of Mr. Lee's good neighbor policy, all Rat Things are programmed never to break the sound barrier in a populated area. But Fido's in too much of a hurry to worry about the good neighbor policy. Jack the sound barrier. Bring the noise.

That already happened to like 90% of us thanks to the same cultists.

Why wouldn't they try? They've done everything they could so far and face no repercussions, why not go ahead and try to be king? A few people will fret and tut-tut but if nobody is going to do anything it doesn't amount to much.

Beehaw is a bit fragile. They'll remove any comment they don't like if it offends their current sensibilities.

$600 gets you 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. You can get better hardware for less.

Why care when we talk about desktops?

Because it's $600 and velcroing an external HDD to a nice new sleek piece of hardware makes it look ugly. Typical Apple bullshit, I'm surprised they didn't develop another proprietary connector.

I don't scowl at the guy in the white Lambo I see sometimes. I don't frown when a Porsche flies past me on the interstate. Shit, even a brand new Corvette will get a "nice!" from me. If it were jealousy I'd hate all kinds of people.

Cybertrucks are just horribly ugly. So ugly it assaults your senses, I can't help but think "oh that car hasn't finished rendering" every time.

They don't see anyone they perceive as "lesser" than them as people; and they think they're better than a whole lotta people.

How much did the stunt really cost though? A couple articles and swapping out some labels can't be that much.
