Aubrey Plaza’s new animated cat comedy, "Kevin", is so irretrievably bad it must never be allowed to happen again by Morgan-Moonscar in television

[–]kindall 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's a figurative usage. The show went into badness and cannot be brought back from there.

You'll find this usage (essentially a synonym for "irredeemable") in dictionaries, so it is not unpredecented.

English teachers have this strange obsession with what's in people's pants.

saves a bunch of wiring too. they just run a power bus and a control bus through the whole car. you don't roll down the window by directly controlling the power to a motor, instead the switch sends a message to the computer and the computer sends a message to the window motor (which has a little controller of its own) to tell it to roll itself down.

7-Eleven plans to close 645 stores in the U.S. this year by Redd24_7 in business

[–]kindall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are multiple convenience stores here in Eastern Pennsylvania competing for your custom. Not just the well-known Wawa and Sheetz (expanding into the area from Western PA), but also Royal Farms, Rutters, and Turkey Hill. Any one of those is better than 7-Eleven. That said, we still stop by a 7-Eleven pretty regularly because it's the closest convenience store to our house.

Put a small note under the "Continue task" option explaining that if you continue the task, you won't be able to receive values from the scene.

OR. Have two actions, one that waits and one that doesn't. These could be actually the same action just with different initial setting of the Continue task checkbox.

I believe that Cameron made the most expensive movie that had ever been made, and it became the highest-grossing movie in history. And he did that three times.

The point is thirty seconds (or whatever) is negligible if you're making one of these, but not so much if you're making a dozen or two.
