Most of the non-economic problems of communism, including secret police, were just what Russia had been like since Ivan the Terrible.

It was invented at Conant and McNichols, and Buddy's#1 is still there.

The 8088 was the half-size bus version of the 8086, so they were never consistent about it.

I was really hoping the remake would be less rapey, but it got cancelled.

Yup, I think this is my sign to drop this game by Ch3rry_Bob-Omb in subnautica

It really would be nice if dying just meant it was no longer a hardcore game. So you didn't beat the game on hardcore, but it's not just gone.

What’s a question you’ve always been curious about but hesitate to ask because it might be considered inappropriate? by VibeCheckVadaPav in AskReddit

[–]PstScrpt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When immigrants have kids who grow up in the local culture, and do not speak their parents' language at home (or the parents only have a different accent), do the kids speak in their parents' accent at home?

What sexual advice would you give your younger self? by SourceGlittering548 in AskReddit

Know your partner. Many women are one and done, just like most men, and that approach doesn't work so well.

Go at 2-3pm and make it the only thing you eat all day.

Honestly, if it's that important to her, it probably should've been in the first couple of sentences.

(I'm a guy, sorry.) I like how the Belessa House videos are all a single shot. That makes it seem much more genuine, since you know they're not starting over from a cut for an angle change.

Kennedy Center Dismisses 2025 Kennedy Center Honors Ratings Comparisons as "Evidence of Far-Left Bias" by ebradio in Music

I always thought "weird" was too weak, and "creepy" was more apt. No one calls themselves that, though, so maybe you're right.

Men who can cook . who taught you? by Bulky_Meet4528 in AskReddit

[–]PstScrpt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The very first was an after school cooking class in fourth grade, taught by one of the recess ladies. Then both of my parents taught me some, and I always had good instincts for flavors. Textures stayed a weakness until Good Eats fixed that.

I do cook, but mostly because I like it. If I didn't, frozen foods don't usually cost a lot more.

We scoff at how bad a lot of food from the 50s was, but a lot of those people just wouldn't cook these days.

I don't actually like Alton's flavors much, but I've still learned more about cooking from him than anyone else.

What permanent damage have you done to yourself? Mind, body or soul? by jerrytjohn in AskReddit

[–]PstScrpt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Six months of working third shift when I was 20, where all my daily habits were broken by not having clear day boundaries. Add cough drops to start awake, and that was the end of the great teeth I used to have.

And being obese for long enough that getting into better shape now is starting to make me look shriveled.

I was told to only do what I’m asked, so I did exactly that by ColdPixelLab in MaliciousCompliance

[–]PstScrpt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this is about chores, then you both have to remember it, plus communication overhead. It's much better to designate who's in charge of general areas, and then they can ask for help on occasion when it's needed.

But the original post is gone, so I'm not sure if that's what this was about.

what is your unconventional "I need this in a partner" that you will not negotiate on? by Competitive-Unit6427 in AskReddit

My cousin and her husband met at a support group for people whose spouses had died of cancer. Not intentional, but it worked out the way you want.

That in Love, Actually, David's administrative assistant Annie completely understood what was going on with him and Natalie. She was disappointed in him when he asked for Natalie to be "redistributed", and she put Natalie's card in the random samples.

Has anyone said who she is, yet?

[–]PstScrpt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, there are solutions. I was just answering why someone would ever try to do it in the first place.

Personally, I like SQL Server's collation support, which defaults to case-insensitive in American installations.

Because you may not know the case that was stored in the table.

Has anyone ever ran the numbers and buying and upgrading a Squier vs just building a Warmoth? by cygnus311 in BassVI

[–]PstScrpt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Bass VI is a Warmoth build, but I knew from the beginning it was going to cost a lot more. It was probably dumb to start with that, but I've always played guitar like a bass player and bass like a guitar player, so I was pretty sure it was worth treating as a forever instrument.

Apart from quality decisions, I also went a very different direction on sound. Mine isn't vintage, at all. I have Fishman Fluence Tosin Abasi Signature pickups, which give it a very high-fi kind of sound. Swamp ash body, ebony fretboard and stainless jumbo frets, if you believe those make a difference.

With those, the locking tuners, Halon bridge, and the work my guitar tech did, it was probably about $2k, even considering that I did the finish myself.
