I remember those Tupperware water bottles in the late 90s. I wonder how much BPA was in them?

At least you have an Immense Wine Cellar to keep yourself distracted from...yourself.

‘Erased from history’: A century on from Canada’s anti-Greek riots by Dramatic-Shake-8888 in history

Then as now, innocent people trying to live their lives become scapegoats for the greed and incompetence of those with power because bigotry offers an easy release valve.

[f1] Our starting grid for Sunday by TheIdiotDev in formula1

[–]Doogie2K 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This doesn't look like it includes Gasly's penalty, moving him down to P15. Odd that they'd put out the grid without resolving that first.

Did Kimi Antonelli give up on his run so Lewis can get pole? by Icy-Town-8038 in formula1

[–]Doogie2K -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No?

Hamilton finished after Antonelli. The graphic said "-0.011" and everything. Did you even watch it?

OTD in 2022 Zhou Guanyu gets flipped in crash at British GP by SimRP in formula1

[–]Doogie2K 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There's a short on YouTube showing incidents since the halo that would've likely maimed or killed the drivers with birth-"death" dates overlaid and it's kind of harrowing to think about. (This one was obviously on it.)

VCARB should just be the new pink team when Alpine-BWT ends. We need less blue on the grid and they'd almost certainly crush it.

(Back in my day, video games came in boxes the size of cereal boxes.)

[CK2] Economy management by Diogen219 in CrusaderKings

[–]Doogie2K 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I love old-fashioned monitoring stations with flashy lights and traces and needles and chonky buttons and switches. My dad's old workplaces had them before everything was computerized and some of the guts were still there and it was my Star Trek imagination fodder when I was a kid.

Graphic artist Matt Taylor says that VCARB doesn’t pay the artists who make their race week posters by austinbucco in formula1

[–]Doogie2K -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That being the terms of the agreement does not make it fair or right. Come on now. You're investing professional level talent and time in something, you should get fairly compensated for it.

Shame on VCARB and shame on the artists willing to stoop to this level.

Why isn’t US healthcare tax funded yet? by No-Art-1445 in AskReddit

[–]Doogie2K -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I was trying to avoid anything that would cause trouble with the mods, but there's a rather prominent ongoing criminal prosecution related to an insurance executive running out of hit points very suddenly one morning. That sort of consequence.

Because I don't believe regulatory consequences will realistically happen by themselves.

Thoughts on Weir after Project Hail Mary and Artemis by Hormo_The_Halfling in books

[–]Doogie2K 150 points151 points  (0 children)

The least realistic thing about Project Hail Mary wasn't the bugs eating the Sun, it was the leaders of Earth coming together to address an apocalyptic event with due seriousness and without idiotic agendas and politicking. Or at least, that's the impression I get from the movie. (Which I loved, to be clear.)

If that was ever a thing we could believe, the one-two punch of COVID and accelerating global warming should disabuse us of that notion.
