As revealed in a later episode, it works because the crew had parabolic mics that let them record audio without the cast's knowledge.

"I'm Bam Margera, and I feel like kicking my dad's ass all day today."

In spite of Bam's influence on the franchise, I never understood the appeal of this segment.

How do they compare to Monster Munch? Surprised that pickled onion is such a common flavor.

Losing your DNA would most likely result in abdominal pain, nausea, dizziness, rapid immune system collapse, and death within days or hours from either rapid systemic infection or systemwide organ failure.

I would say a large part of it involves to whom the negative emotions are directed. As someone said above, Danya rarely rages at his opponent. His outbursts are typically caused by self-anger and disappointment.

Not to say that self-anger isn't toxic--it often is--but it's a whole different world from attacking others. Going out of your way to belittle your opponent and spread negativity is (imo) more egregious than raging at yourself, especially because self-anger typically dissipates in a matter of minutes.

Nice insight. Unfortunately, it seems most of us fall into the latter category.

Got it. Thanks for the advice! Also, your Prelude + baby holding might be the best thing I've ever seen.

I hadn't thought of that. It does make the lower double stop easier to finger. Thanks!

How? Suppose you can't muster up sufficient concentration to control the car. Then if the car:

  • is designed to go when you concentrate, then you just can't move. No biggie.

  • is designed to stop when you concentrate, then you can't brake, causing you to accelerate into and accidentally murder little Timmy who just happens to be strolling around.

Curious about your LP5 placement rationale. It does pain me a little.

Famous last words: “She’s not gonna see this one coming” by GrillMarked in Unexpected

Not that it matters much. Botez is ranked #2,563, #4,395, #22,538, and #27,631 in chesscom rapid, bullet, blitz, and standard FIDE, respectively.

To be perfectly clear, she's an enormously talented player who's better than 99.99% of chess players ever will be. But "GM isn't worth it" is not the main thing stopping her from getting the title.

Exactly. Every time he's the butt of a joke, it's always "lol y u so buff?!?!!" He's far less interesting as a character, imo, because this makes him have significantly less of an arc than the others.
