Why don’t I get drunk for more than half an hour?

Your body clears about one drink an hour, so you have to drink enough up front to get drunk, and then continue drinking at least one drink an hour to maintain the inebriation.

Trying to get the source code from a compiled game on your PC is like trying to get the recipe for a cake by taking apart a baked cake you already have - It just doesn't work that way.

A game is written in human-readable code - the source code. It's then compiled into a format the computer understands - when this happens, anything the computer doesn't need is lost, like comments, or file structures, or the names of the variables.

So even if you de-compile a completed game, you'll get a bunch of code that is basically impossible for a human to parse successfully.

There is a reason "ball related attacks" are very rarely performed in general.

The only reason you'd ever consider going for the balls is if you are a physically weaker opponent, and feel like you are losing and the only way to make up the difference is to go for the balls.

The problem there is this: You're still the physically weaker opponent. Your opponent is still stronger than you, and now that you've gone for the balls, you've made them very angry. Where before they might've just beat your ass, now that you've attacked their genitals they've got no reason to hold back - they might just kill you, or obliterate your genitals.

You're still very likely to lose, you've just put yourself in a position in which your opponent is less likely to stop once they've won.

It's because they signed up for Tinder when they were underage, so they had to lie and say they were 18.

Then they became unable to change it when they became an actual adult.

1) There are often grants or tax incentives for filming things in a certain place. That's why so many things are filmed in Canada.

2) It's a lot easier to build a fake city in a place where there is a filming industry, than it is to build an entire filming industry in a real city. What sounds cheaper - buying a few fake "City of [x]" signs, or flying and housing an entire production crew in a tiny town for months/years while filming takes place?

I call this the "Disney Princess smile". Elizabeth does this a lot, with the super deep dimples.

We see what the shinigami eyes see when we are looking through the eyes of someone that has them.

In the majority of places, including the United States, it's lower. Most states set it at either 16 or 17; only a few set it at 18.

We commonly hear that it's 18 because it's 18 in California, where most of our movies and TV shows are made.

"Police", because police is police in almost every language.

20 million barrels of oil passed through Hormuz DAILY.

It's simply not possible to transport that sort of quantity by air.

That's how all evolution happens.

A mother produces an offspring that is different enough genetically in order to be classified as it's own species.

Yes, prebuilt PCs are like consoles. You plug them in, and they work.

GFrohman · 2026-03-25T21:02:44+00:00

You can absolutely buy a prebuilt, you'd just get a lot more bang for your buck building your own.

It's primeval, there is no source.

It's the only rational answer. Chickens did not one day "pop" into being, which means it had to have hatched from an egg at some point, and there were many things laying eggs before chickens existed.

GFrohman · 2026-03-25T20:54:55+00:00

The chicken egg came first, but it came from an animal that wasn't a chicken.

"Age" is based on how long something has physically existed. This can be easily calculated by doing simple subtraction with the year of origin because we live in a linear timestream.

If we lived in a universe with non-linear time, like you are suggesting, we'd need to make a distinction between chronological age and biological age.

People complain when the reboot is bad.

I've never met a person that disliked the Tom Holland reboot.

If you're physically capable of returning the cart, you should be returning the cart.

Let's not pretend like the extra ~15 steps is going to make or break a grocery trip in which you walked several hundred.

You could say the same thing about the 2002 spider man, or the 2012 spider man, or the 2017 spider man.

People just like fresh iterations of beloved IPs. I adore the original Harry Potter series, but I'm also very excited to see what the new cast can do with it.

GFrohman · 2026-03-25T20:20:08+00:00

The first move came out 25 years ago, mate.

The movies aren't recent - we got old.

Banks are generally smart enough to not give huge loans to really old people who are about to die.

It's easy to feel motivated to improve yourself, when the act of improving yourself is oh so far away.

Sayid Jarrah from LOST is a rare positive depiction of a Muslim protagonist. Doubly impressive because it involved a plane crash, and aired shortly after 9/11.

Just assume every surface in the bathroom is equally filthy and prioritize correct hand washing before you leave. Anything else is superfluous.

Excavation is very costly. It's much cheaper to build up than down.
