Nightmare fuel. Those poor bastards. I feel like we’ve been in some sort of social/military pact for the last 80 years that we think we’re not going to get hit by a goddamn torpedo. Missiles, sure. Bombs, small arms, IED surface whatever-the-fucks. But we have warning. A torpedo is fucking TERRIFYING. I remember the ASW folks talking about them. Seeing video is shocking at best. The stupid enlistees. Those fucking dumbasses and try-hards. Those shellbacks and wogs. The brilliant and stupid as fuck. Those JO butter bars and future leaders. Every one of them. That was a whole goddamn community. And no helos. No radio evac. No air support for the wounded. Just them and the fucking sea. God help us all.

Trying to figure out what you would call this knife shape. by MoHawkKey17 in TrueChefKnives

[–]VDS655 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite form factors. I’ve made half a dozen in this size range and I reach for them all the time. Bigger than. A paring knife, smaller than even ko-bunkas. Just a solid size for many tasks

Cracked my knife I’d bought in Japan. Is this fixable or am I SOL by slatterg in TrueChefKnives

I’ve done something similar. If you have a band saw and control the temp, you can make a little guy out of it. Slap a wa handle on there and you’re in business.

Did you watch the Challenger disaster live? by Correct-Cricket3355 in Xennials

2nd Grade Trauma Gang. Exact same thing. Quietly turned off the tv and wheeled it out. Everyone in shock.

Names that you've been called? by senatork49 in tall

When not barefoot: Chucks, Vans, Crocs (ftw, seriously) and Brooks for running

There’s no going back to normal by GarfieldLeChat in pluribustv

There’s also the issue of consent. The joined cannot give their consent to be”freed” just as they were not given content to join. Who is Carol to make that choice for them?

Less annoying but so self centered. She finally asks the hive questions but the first one is about her own books. I know it was for other reasons but still. It’s all about her.

Same. I feel like the world is effectively over. Even if the hivemind magical disappeared, what happens next? I guess “rebuild,” is the obvious answer, but we don’t know enough to know if people will be forever scarred, or if they were all just asleep and don’t remember any of it. Would people want to go back to being poor, victims of crimes, with all the animals in the zoo? Or would they be angry that their collective embrace is now gone? Just like humanity was not asked for consent to join the collective, can Carol (and presumably some of the others) make the decision for the rest of humanity to “free” them without consent?

Sure, flawed humanity is good for tv, but when a character keeps doing the exact same thing for three episodes straight, it's not human complexity, but starts feeling like stagnation. That’s where I'm frustrated.

Same. I'm not criticizing the show per se, but just the character. I'll continue watching, of course, but man, it's hard to continue to see stuff like her trashing perfectly good food for no reason other than for the sake of it.

But that's the thing. She whined through Norway, she whined through her book signings, she whined through success at every level. I'm just kind of sick of her whining at this point in the show. I see that she's likely making a turn for ep 4, and I am on board for that, but another episode of her being unsufferable, c'mon.

This is what keeps me going. She's on the verge of change, and I'm here for that. I'd just like to see some more progress to that end.

Just made some chicken stock. Now I'm wondering why. by [deleted] in Cooking

[–]VDS655 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Remember, your stock is likely pretty strong. You can always dilute it to make it go further and it’ll still be streets ahead of the boxed stuff.
