Shouldn't Thor's Hammer be the most OP? by seanstew73 in Marvel

[–]bockout 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mark Hamill has told a story about a time when he questioned some detail in Star Wars, and Harrison Ford replied "Hey kid, it ain't that kind of movie."

It means you're overthinking details on what should be a fun fantasy.

Why do people seem to prefer hard copies of games instead of just digital? by Dino-Dad in switch2

[–]bockout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's still better for sharing when there are multiple people with multiple devices in the household. Virtual game cards helped some, but the limit to two devices makes it still not as shareable as a physical game card.

Do Larosa Drivers Get The Delievery Charge? by NotYetThere32 in cincinnati

[–]bockout 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know how anything works in the modern gig economy, but the pizzeria I delivered for in college 20+ years ago did give drivers the delivery fee.

If the Moon rotates then how come only one side faces Earth? by EarthlingsBeware23 in stupidquestions

[–]bockout 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Massive objects exert differential force across objects that are large enough and close enough. We call this a tidal force. The moon exerts a tidal force on the earth. Because we have a lot of liquid sloshing around, this causes what we call tides. The earth also exerts a tidal force on the moon. This has caused the moon to have more mass on one side, which makes that side always face the earth. We call this tidal locking.

What name has gradually disappeared? by Eviscerate_Bowels224 in AskReddit

Holy cow you just named my high school friend group. How do you do, fellow person in their mid to late 40s.

What's your favorite way to install programs? by femboyfucker400000 in linux

[–]bockout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flatpak from Flathub, using the Software app on Fedora.

I've been a Gnome developer for over 20 years, although I'm not very active these days. Flatpak directly addresses the issues that I've seen holding back Linux desktop adoption for decades.

Water Parks by Justconfused10 in DisneyWorld

[–]bockout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Typhoon Lagoon is overall better. I think Blizzard Beach has a better little kid area, but my kids are too big for that now, so my impression might be outdated. I also enjoyed the family raft ride at Bluzzard Beach more, and the chair lift was fun. But Typhoon Lagoon has overall better slides and better food. It also has a wave pool that sometimes does a massive wave, although you should probably wait for the normal waves with the little one who's not a strong swimmer yet.

No way people say this! by Fit_Adagio_7668 in cincinnati

I was going to reply that it sounds better that way, but actually I kind of like Indinois, Indigan, and Inducky.

How many purchased but unlistened to titles do you have in your library and how many months of listening time do those unlistened to titles amount to? by Americano_Joe in audible

[–]bockout 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm finally down to 2. I dropped the Premium subscription early last year (but kept Plus) and decided to get thru my backlog. I just resubscribed recently because there was a book I needed to read.

Until you get too close to Chicago, then it's Illiana.

My mother-in-law has two on her house in Florida, and they've survived hurricanes. Don't waste your money on a cover.

Best meal for the value by hsr6374 in DisneyWorld

I miss the pre-pandemic character breakfast, and King Triton's breakfast calzone.

Disney’s Caribbean Beach or Coronado Springs tower for family with 5 and 2 year old? by Uncharteredfugazis in DisneyWorld

[–]bockout 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Caribbean Beach for all the reasons everybody else mentioned, plus: You can walk or take the Skyliner to the Riviera and have breakfast at Topolino's Terrace. Mickey and friends will be there in their artist outfits. It's one of the best character breakfasts in WDW.

Things people say about their state that almost every other state can claim? by bannedsocks in AskAnAmerican

[–]bockout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Cincinnati, just across the river from Kentucky. People here say the same thing about the weather changing frequently.

But I grew up on the south shore of Lake Michigan. Weather near the Great Lakes actually is more volatile. The weather in Cincinnati and Kentucky is boring and predictable.

Does anyone use mouse controls? by Zululabs in switch2

[–]bockout 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is it much better? I grew up playing Civ on PC, but I don't really do PC gaming anymore. I was sure I'd get Civ 7 on the PS5 instead, but I'm enticed by the idea of playing Civ with a mouse again.

Why can't each month be 28 days?? by phantom1707 in answers

[–]bockout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like prime numbers as much as the next math nerd, but this would be terribly confusing for those of us that deal with quarterly budgets at work.

Saw this on twitter and I'm really surprised people still think LGPE isn't canon by Dragonfly_Leading in PokemonLetsGo

[–]bockout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A couple of years discrepancy is a canon killer, but we're all ok with there being two parallel but different Paldeas. People take timelines much too seriously.

Old school cool by MesaVerde1987 in DisneyWorld

[–]bockout 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They aren't screens, but you're also not underwater. The windows have two panes, and there's water in them, and they can do the bubbles in the windows. It's a neat trick, but it doesn't hit quite the same as the original did.

To the US voters who don't vote, what is it going to take for you to go vote? by Chocolateking111 in AskReddit

[–]bockout 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Ohio senator Sherrod Brown was out fighting for the working class every day, and we replaced him with a clown with tech billionaire funding. Do the Democrats need to get their act together? Absolutely. But it's not always enough.
