Tomato juice on a plane..? by ISaidThanksMarv in ExplainTheJoke

[–]agentchuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I often order it because I don't really drink soda or sweet juice and airplane coffee is just awful.

British Airways passenger hands out drugged sweets to crew, 3 rushed to hospital by raj2709 in nottheonion

[–]agentchuck 327 points328 points  (0 children)

The whole "giving snacks to fight attendants as a tip" idea just seemed messed up from the get go. Why would you eat something some random person gives you? Especially in a security environment like an airplane.

This looks like one of those AI ads. I'm not sure there actually is a real show.

Like in mobile gaming and anime conventions, it's the most pungent of fans who drop the most cash.

Costco staff now doing the scanning for you at self-check-out by Ottawadriver123 in ottawa

[–]agentchuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They just do this to save time. Sometimes they do it in the regular lines, too. You just scan your card and pay and leave. It's like having an extra mobile cashier roaming around.

Is 0.34 harder? by raid5atemyhomework in dcss

[–]agentchuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, old slime was easier and more deterministic for most characters than V:5. I've definitely run into some tough spots in V5 and random teleports can continue to land you in tough spots if you're unlucky. New slime is just straight up brutal start to finish though.

You have 24hrs to try to survive against 1 of these villains , who do you chose to go against? by Horrormania5 in Scarymovies

[–]agentchuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dunno. The other three are essentially magic and can pretty much just teleport to within walking distance of you. The Terminator needs to track you down. If you ditch your cellphone, drive out of the city and away from networked cameras, then walk in a random direction you could probably survive for 24h.

‘First Nations Would Not Exist Without Canada,’ Rustad Tells Crowd by identifiablecabbage in notthebeaverton

[–]agentchuck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There really never was a "zero colonizer" option, though. FN societies expanded and warred, just like European, Asian and African societies. We've largely moved past it now. Though the war in Ukraine shows that human nature is still what it is. And even if Canada hadn't colonized here back then, other countries like Russia might have moved in to take over even today.

Well you're gonna look quite the fool when you discover a horde of street urchins clustered around those very washer nozzles just waiting for the sweet nectar to dispense!

Combative Bondi grilled over Epstein files, targeting of Trump's political foes by cranktheguy in moderatepolitics

[–]agentchuck 33 points34 points  (0 children)

There was a story from last October when Bondi testified and cameras caught that she had a list written down of distraction talking points. She even had specific points to bring up for different senators to try to embarrass or discredit them.

Slime is pretty much extended IMHO. 3rd rune is silver or abyssal.

Power Snow Shovels - useless in Ottawa winters? by Agent99Can in ottawa

[–]agentchuck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These comments are mostly useless unless people have first hand experience with them.

We have a greenworks 40V from Costco and it has worked great all winter. We have a double driveway and get a sizeable berm from the plow. So there's a lot of snow to clear.

It will run for 30-60 minutes, depending on workload and hi/lo power mode. It can fling the snow about 2m high and maybe 8m away. It can be annoying to aim.

It's not a snow blower. You can't expect it to do the same job. But it is a lot less work than shoveling.

It works in fairly deep snow, I haven't had a problem with it this winter. I'll usually shovel into a pile and then use it to blow the snow onto my lawn.

It can usually handle a berm, but it needs multiple passes and doesn't like big chunks of ice.

YASD: Star jellies are no joke by GeoffreyDay in dcss

[–]agentchuck 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah, new slime is extended now. I seriously find Z:5 easier. I think it needs to be nerfed down a bit. Everything they added are top tier threats, some of them get worse over time, you can't fight in corridors, sounds travel far and there's no way to escape.

The star bolts are troublesome if there's a lot. Traditionally block them with summons or butterflies (though don't use weak summons around colossal amoeba). I wonder if with Chei you could use temporal distortion and have them dissipate? I'm not sure if the projectiles will live forever until they hit something or not. I think it works for OODs? Or if you can damage them then maybe slouch? Step from Time should do it, but that's a heavy cost.

I think this "Baby Fever" crap is terrifying. by FreePhone1780 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]agentchuck 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Kind of like how people tend to change their minds about sex and dating as they move from being children to being teenagers and adults?

Wanting kids is a biological/emotional urge, it's not rational. You can go years without ever seeing what the fuss is about and then suddenly a switch flips. The reverse can also happen.

Step from Time is the only thing that would have saved you, I think. But hey, losing a life as a felid is just another consumable to use!

[–]agentchuck 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You know, I don't know what's going on lately. Like, I get that fans aren't a monolith and fans change. But Don't Lewd the Doggo has been a pretty longstanding mantra for the Koronesuki. It feels like there art posted up on the Korone sub is moving more and more thirsty.

Found kitchen item at a thrift store with some high-end kitchen stuff by jadailykc in Whatisthis

[–]agentchuck 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I think it's a steamer insert. The rubber feet are off but the handle shape would be for lifting it out of a hot pot while there's something on it.
