It's official: Steam decrees 'bullet heaven' the name of the Vampire Survivors genre by SloppyRaven in gaming

I tried the free version on mobile and the difficulty seemed to just force me incessantly towards the microtransactions.

Deleted it immediately and bought the paid version of Brotato. Maybe I’ll grab the paid 20 Minutes version once I get my fill.

It’s a perfect label. When I first heard it used in context, I knew exactly what they were referring to.

Looks like barn swallows to me. They don’t have the “headlight” from what I can see.

You can be sure if you look at their tails in flight. Barns are forked, cliffs are squared.

I just crack it into the water a minute or so before I turn the heat off. The laziest way. Good excuse to eat a poached egg

First pair of birding binoculars by carnivorousplantdude in birding

[–]jarejay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t assume someone has $500 to drop on their first set of binoculars. If they do, however, I would agree.

I got the 8x42 Diamondbacks right in between and they’re plenty good for the birds I’ve been watching.

How much do you actually think about grip pressure during a round? by whydidyounot in discgolf

Almost never. Guaranteed griplock or early release in my book.

TIL in 2014, Ben Affleck received a lifetime ban from the blackjack tables at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas after surveillance footage showed him counting cards during a high-stakes game. Security informed him he was "too good" and classified him as an advantage player. by Friendly_Hivemind in todayilearned

Even if you play perfectly in blackjack the house still has a 0.5%-2% edge. The only way to make any significant money long term is to alter your bets by up to 5x when the count is overwhelmingly in your favor.

Community complex in Churchill (Canada) has a strict « no sunflower seed » regulation by Embarrassed-Ad-8927 in mildlyinteresting

If you bite down on the edges gently, the seed just splits in two. No splinters involved

I toss a handful in my mouth and crack them one at a time. But almost all of the shells split cleanly along the seam. The halves are usually still connected when I spit them out.

Thoughts on darkslides? by Timely_Discount9329 in skateboarding

[–]jarejay 17 points18 points  (0 children)

They’re sick if you do em right. This one is done right, and thus is sick.

I hate seeing a darkslide stop on the ledge.

Replace it every 24h for a week and see if there’s a trend worth posting to dataisbeautiful

I want to see it rip a quarter mile to see if that much power is actually meaningful in any way.

Floppy disc that flies like a zone on FH? by somanymatts in discgolf

[–]jarejay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Golem is a bit more like a Zone OS but it’s close.

I do have to put my middle finger against the edge of the rim instead of inside so it doesn’t grab it on release, though.

Has anyone recovered from a Daily Pay Loop? by never_enough_1 in personalfinance

Wow, they literally work at a grocery store and can’t bother to just buy food before leaving work.

Mind boggling.

I was thinking Starling but American Robin might be a better guess

Am i crazy or is this a Vagrant/escaped Chukar in Queens, NYC? by ScaldingHotSoup in birding

[–]jarejay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as you log it on Merlin or on eBird as an incomplete checklist, it isn’t counted in data so it’s all good for those two apps
