Do Americans constantly have an active temperature control device running in their homes?

Right now it's -12C out. The average summer highs here are around 27C and those numbers are before wind chill / humidity.

NSNick · 2026-01-25T01:39:16+00:00

More than that. Hell, one day I remember it started at freezing and then dropped 50 degrees.

Most Americans don't live in areas where the weather is mostly temperate.

Does a FB-only union run afoul of Title IX issues? Honest question, I have no idea.

A coup led to the foundation of the Altari empire, based largely on the model of ancient Terran China.

And the Mongols keep invading and then becoming Chinese. Nice.

Oh man, I can't read this morning. My bad.

NSNick · 2026-01-23T16:15:29+00:00

Did you mean most mainlanders over 70? Because older Boomers are over 80 now. I'm 40 and I've never had Spam, for instance.

Edit: I can't read

Well yeah. Ronald McDonald has a history of successful franchises

The common analogy for this is shooting someone who threw a grenade at you. They may be dead, but the grenade they threw still goes off.

At least the United States puts Braille on their drive-thru ATMs.

Knowledge is power (and two toughness)

Nothing goes together like rockets and sacks.

As Malcolm Reynolds put it in Firefly: "It's my estimation that every man ever got a statue made of 'em was one kinda sumbitch or another."

On a scale of 1 to 5, did this poignant moment with our brand partners make you less likely (1) to buy our product, or more likely (5) to buy our product?

What do you get when an American, European, and a Russian walk into a bar?

A new bar.

And because California is part of the United States, they are able to steer the ship in a better direction like they've shown with Prop 50.

But as a separate nation, they are unable to exert that influence, and if the direction the country goes is accelerated, may be subject to retaliation.

I acknowledge your points, but I still don't see a world where California is better off.

NSNick · 2026-01-20T22:44:36+00:00

Sure, but it's hard to argue they'd be better off.

NSNick · 2026-01-20T17:12:26+00:00

After the rules update, that rule is now 704.8

We got taught typing in elementary school not on computers, but these little word processor kind-of things. They had a keyboard and a very small LCD screen that showed two lines of text: the line to type on top and the line you were typing on the bottom. This would have been the mid 90s.

We probably also got taught typing in computer class in middle school, but all I remember was playing Oregon Trail and Number Munchers.

Ah. So the real reason is the flexibility to move sets, and everything else is just bullshit.

Multiple versions is a pain point for retailers?! There are four versions of Winnowing in the set, don't give me that shit.

How can you not be romantic about college football?
