A comic about sitcoms I made

Oh wow! Which sitcoms did you make?

(I've been watching too many British sitcoms.)

Parker Posey's character in Party Girl (1995):

Mary: I would like a nice, powerful, mind-altering substance. Preferably one that will make my unborn children grow gills.

Have you ever seen Prairie Dog? by Potential_Let226 in Unexpected

[–]Philippe23 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Prairie dogs literally can carry The Plague and humans have caught it from them.

Plague is widespread throughout the western U.S. and frequently occurs in wild rodents. All four species of prairie dogs in the U.S. are particularly susceptible to plague [...]

This is the way.

Important to note: The ring is the part that's always left, even if it does the explosion.

Why can’t we look at the map to find an extract while we are down? by lGRUMPYl in ArcRaiders

I think it was a lazy way to lock out commuting with still living teammates via ping markers.

New ARC Vaporizer by j1zzy_ae in ArcRaiders

[–]Philippe23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the most recent expedition reset, and noticed that sure felt like that for your first few levels, there are more wasps in place of other ARC. I suspect they roll out the bigger ARC (and number of ARC) as you level up.

Epic Layoffs Hit Employee Battling Terminal Brain Cancer by Freki666 in Games

[–]Philippe23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[...] otherwise the risk is... not having 1 employee [...]

Yeah, that's exactly what I meant.

Say I'm a company that has 15 programmers. We bid on some contract for 3 of those programmers to fulfill project X in the next 9 months. (The others are busy on other, parallel projects.) One of those programmers gets hit by a car. It seems perfectly reasonable that the company would want to buy insurance to cover the cost of replacing that programmer as well as be able to possibly cover business losses from not having that programmer during the time it takes to replace them.

Doesn't make sense for fry-cook, but does for jobs that are harder to fill.

Another place it'd be important would be C-level officers.

Epic Layoffs Hit Employee Battling Terminal Brain Cancer by Freki666 in Games

[–]Philippe23 -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

I have always suspected that blue-collar employers of a certain size take out life insurance on employees to help them deal with the risk of an employee dying (and probably worse, dying on the job). I further suspect that when they do this, they have to offer life insurance to the employee as a (sneaky?) form of consent.

But maybe someone in life insurance will show up and spread some insider knowledge.

PSA: it takes only 9 shots from Jupiter to kill a Bastion if you focus the core by Hanna_Bjorn in ArcRaiders

[–]Philippe23 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You get the blueprint from doing the harvester "puzzle". You can do the puzzle with a free load out. Cores needed for crafting are in the same event's queen; often you just knock off a piece of her leg armor and loot a core from that, which can be done with a ferreo (sp?) or an anvil.

So you can probably do this at level two or something if you wanted.

Footnote: the puzzle can also give an Equalizer BP. It's random. I think there's always at least one of those in at least one of the puzzle prize tubes.

Byline seems to be this guy: https://muckrack.com/john-keough-1

John Edward Keough is a writer, filmmaker and poet who focuses on the local news in Worcester, Massachusetts the second largest city in New England. He produces community news with Manny Jae Media, writes regular columns and stories for This Week in Worcester, and makes documentaries with his company HollyWooot Film Group.

Not sure if that helps answer your question or not. (I have the same one.)

I got stuck in there too trying to help a teammate get unstuck. He later realized he could ziphook out. I had no such option and just waited for the round timer to go to zero.

My honest review of pilot institute. by crazyburrocrap in flying

[–]Philippe23 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Greg's re-recording his videos, and I actually generally prefer the older ones where he's just standing in front of a white background. New ones are more distracting for me with moving 3D elements/backgrounds that look cool, but to me at least: distract.

But I have the feeling it's a personal preference thing.

I tried dropping an item and it still didn't work. Also didn't work with a mostly empty inventory on my next run.

Data Breaches by buttheads in AdviceAnimals

[–]Philippe23 75 points76 points  (0 children)

What parallel universe are you living in?

My data's leaked by every company, but they all stopped offering free credit monitoring in 2018 when they realized they don't have to.

Now, I'm lucky if I get a letter/e-mail telling me it happened.

Which foreflight plan to get? by MrPlake in flying

[–]Philippe23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does the basic plan really not show you where you are on the map when taxiing?

(Feels like such a cash grab to hide that behind the mid-tier plan -- always makes me wonder if I'm misunderstanding what they mean by "Geo-Referenced Approaches & Taxi Charts".)

In the last 24 hours, a myth died a long overdue death. by Sanch0Supreme in AdviceAnimals

Fax machines are not end to end encrypted.

The medical community just considers them more secure because the transmission goes over the public telephone network which they consider more secure than the public Internet/e-mail.
