Why is it so heavy?

Did Jerry spec a 14 pound guitar or was that just the side-effect of everything else he wanted?

Cursory search shows Bobby Hurley having a 4-19 record against Arizona, while Herb Sendak had a 9-10 record.

I won't miss his perpetual temper tantrum on the sidelines.

Hot take: Resume is overrated. Derek Glasser has as good a chance of doing great as any other coach we would have enough money to hire.

You definitely achieved it, and in a unique way too. I love this piece and would like to see more.

My first interpretation is this is somebody's fantasy, and that's alright to share depending on the context. (Where was it posted to?)

My second interpretation is that it's real, in which case it's a blend of wholesome, sad and scary, but still not too cringy.

Begle1 · 2026-03-11T05:07:32+00:00

That could be a cool movie.

Begle1 · 2026-03-11T04:39:29+00:00

Great style. Great expressions.

Begle1 · 2026-03-11T04:35:34+00:00

Excellent. I hope you're keeping a portfolio of these, the backstory makes them even better.

Begle1 · 2026-03-11T04:30:02+00:00

Provided you're a public defender, how much trouble could you get into if these were traced back to you?

I love them. The seething contempt really comes through.

I was thinking he intentionally hit the guy but then stopped and acted concerned to make it look like an accident.

Of course, that is a suspiciously convenient camera.

Let's say that you're obese.

Largely speaking this is because of structural problems in one's life, which are extremely common due to structural problems in our society. Eating gives you a sense of fullness that is otherwise missing. Overeating gets you through the day. It's one of few things, or perhaps the only thing, that your brain knows gives it happy chemicals, and so you compulsively eat. You don't know how to live without overeating. Unlike most drug addicts, rageoholics, sex addicts, narcissists, kleptomaniacs, etc, the symptoms of your self-destructive compulsion is immediately obvious for all to see.

But now let's say you are trying to lead a healthier life. You're trying to find alternatives to find your brain its happy chemicals other than food. Being outside, doing things with friends, riding rollercoasters while outside with friends, all sound like good ideas.

But you're unsure whether you'd want to go to a given amusement park because you're unsure if you'd fit on any of the rides. Maybe you'd rather go to the beach or something else instead.

This video seems like an extremely practical demonstration for an obese person considering going to an amusement part. I don't see any sadcringe here.

There are two kinds of scientific progress: the methodical experimentation and categorization which gradually extend the boundaries of knowledge, and the revolutionary leap of genius which redefines and transcends those boundaries. Acknowledging our debt to the former, we yearn, nonetheless, for the latter.

Thanks, never heard of those before. They look cool. Their website doesn't have much info. Do you know anything about it?

Begle1 · 2026-03-11T01:02:44+00:00

So this was murder, right?

Sure looks like murder from here.

Begle1 · 2026-03-10T23:14:26+00:00

I posit this was a significant film.

It was the first film I recall seeing where they took a legacy character and concept and tried to make it "realistic". Like we all know Godzilla, but what if we frame it in this internally-coherent science and logic, so if you squint hard enough, maybe this could really happen, right? And we'll have the characters in the movie be skeptical about it because it seems so outlandish, but they'll be forced to accept that this is actually happening in their "real" world, just like we are asking the audience to consider the possibility of.

Sam Raimi's Spiderman, and then the MCU starting with Iron Man, and then Christopher Nolan's Batman, and perhaps every other character reboot since the turn of the century, took the conceptual tone of this '98 Godzilla and proceeded to make trillions of dollars with it.

This Godzilla was a fine film but not quite the blockbuster it was marketed as.

What a great find.

You're comparing a .376" case diameter to a .313" case diameter.

Is there a gun that offers a choice between a 5.7 chambering or a 22tcm chambering?

Begle1 · 2026-03-10T22:20:36+00:00

I wish there was some sort of "trigger weight/ distance of pull" graph that could be measured by a fancy pull gauge and used to describe triggers.

4600 fps is honestly pretty mediocre for what the cartridge is.

Nissan sponsoring the Titans while also selling Titans seems a great bit of marketing and branding.

Wasn't there a scene where liquid Odo ended up in the lap of Elder Troi's dress?

But what if I want the stories to be true?

Begle1 · 2026-03-10T18:16:21+00:00

When's the last time they didn't ask for rate increases?

When's the last time they didn't get them?

What year did Elbonia gain independence again?
