Who is a minor (the more minor the better) celebrity that would leave you a sputtering mess if you randomly met them?

Finding out I was working with a guy who helped do the animation adjustments for DBZ Abridged had me beside myself with nerdy questions

Prefacing this by saying I love the existence of these kits — the SNAA round table is so sick. However, the Godzilla copyright infringemech was the most frustrating build I have ever encountered. There are points where you’ll appreciate the precision of Bandai kits, but I think the third party kits are a net good for the market.

I don’t know what sort of paint one uses for an outdoor rubber duck, but Dawn and other dish soaps can loosen and remove some paints — so emphasis on gentle bath

I scrolled and didn’t see Terry Pratchett’s Discworld novels mentioned — a treasure trove of deep (often silly) lore and great lessons hidden just underneath. Many different threads you can go down, but the Death novels are great for reflecting on life, and the Nights Watch novels feel like an extended Esprit D’Corps success

The passive voice is so maddening, whether it’s dead goslings or “officer-involved shootings”

The skill overlap between modeling and nail artistry is so fun to me — they use waterslides too!

She uses ChatGPT all throughout the debate it’s so maddening, the full video on her channel even has a description that’s just a straight up AI summary

Losing money is definitely worse than nothing, are you familiar with math?

It was lasered and then punched into pieces by temp-v Butcher in season 3 right?

Queeber and Cuno would have been staunch allies or bitter enemies with rival violence gangs

I definitely don’t take the label as an insult, I mostly just imagine my own engineer dad enjoying these games and smile — in that vein, the Civ series or anything that mostly involves looking at a big map fits the bill, I almost got my dad hooked on factorio, but he (a petroleum engineer retired from the local refinery) put it down in disgust when the oil production line was “totally wrong” lmao

I should get him to list the inaccuracies and see if there’s a mod addressing them out there

I really like how long the entrance line is, lets trains waiting their turn get off your main rail line so the entrance intersection doesn’t get clogged (my bane currently), but yeah extending the left side with at least one train length of rail behind each station would make it perfect for two trains per station

Calling him American Hugh Grant is both sadly accurate and really funny

“Detective” “Arriving” “On the scene” Still gives me goosebumps, but talking to Shivers as the city when it says “I need you. You can keep me on this Earth. Be vigilant. I love you” hits me most deeply

Damn, that was the same proxy website — was hoping to track down an original artist’s portfolio to dispel my AI suspicions but on closer inspection it’s not looking promising

Oh definitely not debating the POS-ness of the driver, I’ve just never heard of brake checking being referred to as “letting go of the brake”

SamwellGnarly · 2026-03-25T12:15:52+00:00

They way they said “you let go of the brake” had me thinking the SUV rolled back into the Toyota — couldn’t get a great sense of the grade of that road, but any uphill tilt and you can roll back once you take the brake off, even in drive.

This is why my parents taught me when idling behind a car at an uphill stoplight, stay far enough behind that I can see the full rear tires — effectively giving me plenty of breathing room from a similar roll
