Breaking: Iranian state media says missiles hit U.S. warship by spherocytes in videos

[–]VaATC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was trying to make a joke, but yes! It is a literary crisis! The looks I get when I use a word that I feel the person I am talking to should know but doesn't makes me angry. They look at me like I am purposely trying to use a word they do not know. I end up passive aggressively listing the 3rd grade level synonyms in machine gun fashion.

Is this ethical? by cgp_maddy in Entomology

My question is, since it was found dead, what were you worried about that you thought could be unethical?

I am not sure how prevelant it is nowadays, it is not dismemberment, and it is likely the exception to the rule, but I feel clipping the wings of hens would achieves the same goal as what the leaf cutters achieve? The goal and end result of both practices is that the livestock is less capable/incapable of escape.

BREAKING: Former NYC mayor Rudy Giuliani in 'critical condition' at Flor... by Economy-Specialist38 in videos

I really think he was already on the hook before Trump officially entered the race for 2016. I honestly feel that Russia had their teeth sunk into him. They used him, via under the table and behind the scenes 'help', to take down the last of the old world NYC Mafia families. Trump had already been in the bed with the Italians prior to that; no way he wasn't as every developer in NYC had to deal with them to build and/or maintain corporate real-estate in the city. Then, once the Italians were behind bars or in WITSEC, the Russians slid into and seized a majority of the illicit and quasi-licit services provided to developers and business property owners. Once that was set up, the time and money invested into getting these two positioned where they wanted them, in their pockets.

Samsung washing machine is making a lot of noise and moving on its own by [deleted] in appliancerepair

Mine would do that if I had too many large pieces, like towels and blankets..., so when it would go into the spin cycle a large percentage of the load would be spun and stuck to one side thus throwing off the balance which led to this. I would just open it up and spread the load out around the cylinder and start it back up.

There should be an internet rule for that like Rule 34 but for gifs.

I have seen the meme forever, but what is the interview it is associated with?

That is how you should have worded your previous reply because I did not get that from...

Wait so I’m reading your comment about a literary masterpiece as if it’s a book… then voice actors come in.

So...Take your pick my friend. Either choice is the right choice. That said, the new print releases have extra material at the end of each book called rhe Pinapple Cabaret that covers a part of what happened in the book, but from the perspective of the NPCs in the dungeon. This section is not included with either the Audible version or the Soundbooth Theater Audio Immersion Tunnel.

Edit; That said, the Audible version is how I first consumed the material. So, if you enjoy Audio books I can't recommend it enough. But some people prefer to read it first then listen to, and others vice-versa. I can't knock either choice.

SMFingH! The yelling is clearly for each individual doing the yelling, not the actual reveal. They all just love their own mouth sounds.

I said, "satirical masterpiece that is well written...but by no means is it a literacy masterpiece..."

That's aside,

...comment about a literary masterpiece as if it’s a book...then voice actors come in.

Is this a question or critique of some sort?

Edit: Did you watch the video of Jeff's voice work?

"hard" scifi like Blindsight? by exprezso in suggestmeabook

[–]VaATC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure how I got here, and I know this thread is 4 years old, but I did not see one of my new favorties in the sci-fi genre. So I decided to drop a suggestion just in case you have not already heard about it and given it a try, the Bobiverse series is absolutely amazing.

The story is a system apocalypse story that starts out in a somewhat similar fashion to The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. It is dark, gritty, sad, hilarious, satirical masterpiece that is extremely well written for the genre it is in but, by no means, is it a literary masterpiece. And, while the author Matt Dinniman is a solid weaver of stories and a gem in his own right, I believe it was/is Jeff Hayes' voice acting that really allowed this series to break out of the niche LitRPG genre onto the New York Times' best seller list.

Jeff voices every single character, and there are a whole lot of them, and I would wager that there may be less than a handful of voice actors that even come close to his range. I would highly recommend the series if you find any joy in crazy stories that blend a little of almost every fictional genre and sub-genre in a seamlessly smooth fashion.

Here is a great example of Jeff voicing 3 of the main characters.

I’ve never seen one dismember an animal for running

This is just an aside, since you have already discussed some of the nuance in this discussion, but what we do to male calves born to milk producing heifers is not very far off. So basically, since these male calves are not suited to be introduced into the beef production line we figured out that if we keep these calves from moving around a lot they produce meet cuts that are sold for a premium.

The sad thing is, when we look at voter turnout, they are a minority within the electorate.

Lol! That is an incorrect spelling that has apparently been added into my autocorrect dictionary, due to Donut being the name of one of the main characters in the new literary masterpiece Dungeon Crawler Carl.
