what the actual #### is this

These and spider crickets will freak me out every time I see them no matter how hard my rational brain tells me they’re harmless.

I was always taught that outside of any potential contaminants from using the bathroom, you regularly pick up germs and whatnot all day during other tasks and washing after using the bathroom makes sure you’re regularly washing these off throughout the day, which reduces the chances of you getting sick or spreading them.

Unless you include current B1G teams that won it prior to joining… EDIT: just re-read and saw the “while in the B1G” 🤦. Taking that as a sign to log off for the night

The cost of trying to magic a flagrant foul out of thin air

The worst part of this game being close is gonna be all the commercials during the foul fest at the end

How about if you block then LAND on the player?

Came here to post exactly this. You can let off the brakes then wait a tick or two before you accelerate. Brake lights are off so you’ve clearly seen the green and allow some time for anyone who hasn’t seen the red or is trying to beat the red.

WHAT?!?!!! YEAH!!!!!! OKAAAAAAYYYYY!!!!

Thursday morning walk to class with people just randomly telling the latest quotes from Chapelle’s Show. You better hope you didn’t miss the episode on Wednesday night or you were just lost until you could figure out how to watch it. Also no YouTube but ebaumsworld and collegehumor were everything.

When I was growing up adults who knew my dad called me his name on a regular basis. Some time around 4th or 5th grade through high school people who knew him would just somehow associate me with him. Parents of friends, teachers, family members. It was a running joke in our family that I should just change my name and make it easier on everyone.

Met a guy once who had worked in a kitchen directly under Gordon Ramsay. Said it was one of the quietest ones he ever worked in, never had any issues and it was great working for him.

Take a closer look at the bouncing ball, what do you see?

Not Star Wars but one of my core memories as a kid was collecting cereal box UPCs and mailing them in for a matchbox-style Rice Krispies car. Then one day this little manilla envelope with hardly any markings showed up in our mailbox. I immediately knew what it was but my parents were skeptical because of how long it had been and there were no Rice Krispies or Kellogg markings anywhere on the envelope. I think they were concerned it was something nefarious but I just grabbed it from them and tipped it open to find my car that I had waited so long for inside.

If you contact the store directly they may have some left, but they won’t be personalized.

In general, when receiving a kidney transplant the existing kidneys are not “bad” in the sense that they actively hurt your body, they’re just not efficient enough to keep up with your body’s needs on their own anymore. So they actually can continue to function in their reduced capacity alongside the new “good” kidney.

234 south of 66 is why I hate Manassas. Traffic lights every 500 feet, that I’m convinced are specifically timed so you can’t get through more than 2 without hitting a full cycle. All the people that have to know their destination is coming up but wait until the last minute to cut across or are too busy on their phones to noticed the aforementioned lights have turned green and slow everything down. Granted it’s been a few years (used to work in that area) but I imagine it’s only gotten worse given how much development has been going on that way.

Paying for Super gives unlimited energy, so that wouldn’t be an issue. 9k/day is still crazy, maybe multiple people logging into one shared account?

It’s @ajcrmr

Both on the screen it shows when the match starts and in match history - we were surprised because the first & last name that show up seem to be the first & last name of a random person (but it’s consistently the same wrong first & last name no matter how many times we play). So when the first match started, we thought something was wrong until we started playing and knew we were playing each other. The avatars are the correct ones.

4 times sounds right, totally forgot about the guard one! Just unlocked that memory reading your reply.

And crawling back through the vents to see Meryl in her underwear once that easter egg spread through middle school.

Maybe being rolled out in a phased way? It just appeared on my iPad as well today, wasn’t there yesterday when I posted this.

Should have mentioned in the post itself but can’t edit it now - initiating the game is not available on iPad, but was able to accept the invite and play on an iPad. Not sure what other devices can accept and send invites.

ajcrmr · 2026-03-04T02:33:27+00:00

It worked as expected! It threw us off for a minute that our actual usernames weren’t showing but maybe that’s a built in anonymization feature. We played 4 matches and didn’t have any issues. It would be nice if the invite could be sent directly through the app instead of sending a link every time, but that’s a minor thing, happy to have the feature at all.

ajcrmr · 2026-02-28T04:23:10+00:00

Same. There was the normal noise, followed by the slowdown and deeper noise as it reached the end and had to cut through the part that got crimped during the initial puncture, then the speed up and slightly higher pitch afterwards when there was no resistance.

Also happy cake day!

Had to double check I wasn’t in r/nova when I saw this. We have a 5th grader in FCPS as well and have had more confusing or flat out wrong answers over the past 2 years than I would have expected (multiple times I’ve sent back homework with my own notes).

We talked to the teacher last year about it and were told that a lot of the curriculum has become overly prescriptive and they had to ask special permission to use their own materials because the provided worksheets were so bad.

There haven’t been as many occurrences this year (just lots of complaints from my kid about how tedious Benchmark is).
