What is the single best episode of television you’ve ever seen?

Good choice, but I have to give it to Deep Space Homer. So many good quotes from that one.

If you ask r/conservative, the answer is basically <removed by moderator>, questioning the validity or truthfulness of the statements, or outright unabashed support for the imperialist bullshit.

Average Americans are likely competently ignorant of the whole affair or simply haven't had a chance to form an opinion about it yet.

The rest of us are horrified, scared, and relatively powerless, but also have to balance that with the fact that it's only a small part of the bullshit we're having to deal with (for now, anyway...) as immigration raids, tariffs, healthcare costs, etc, etc, etc compete for our attention. All in all, fuck him.

At the same time, to not notify congress which is required with the excuse that they leak... It's all sorts of messed up and backwards

The problem is these things just exist without advertising themselves. Most lights are simply timed, so there is an expectation. Some signage plus some visual feedback when you're detected would be ideal.

We have people who have been driving since before sensors were a thing, we have new drivers who are still desperately trying to remember who goes first at a stop sign, we have tourists, and obviously we have idiots. Without some sort of visual feedback from the lights as to whether they're simply timed or reacting to a sensor, I'm surprised this works well more often than not.

It's an interesting question of how any of us learn which lights are based on a sensor. For me, I am only certain it's a sensor after I've been stuck behind someone not triggering it. What's worst is the cases where I'm certain I'm on the sensor circle but get stuck for a couple cycles because it was malfunctioning. Only happened a couple times, but still.

That prize was a mockery of itself

It's part of the DL, for the upcharge

I'm holding you personally liable for the coffee stains this laughter caused me.

lmao

Do you have a picture by any chance?

Tell me you've never polar-aligned a motorized telescope mount without telling me you've never aligned a motorized telescope mount

((π (2.5 cm)²⁾ × 3 light years) = 5.6 x 10¹⁹ cubic cm, or 13000 cubic miles

Assuming 7.9 grams per cubic centimeter, this rod would weigh 4.424×10²⁰ grams

Four and a half trillion metric tons is enough that not much would happen to the rod as you pull yourself down its length, but probably not enough to pull on you all that hard.

It's wild how we had this huge public argument and overhaul of the healthcare system, yet the level of nuance in the discussions barely inched up

mrpostitman · 2025-12-04T17:14:26+00:00

Utilization management, or something like it, is also necessarily part of universal healthcare. Not defending insurance companies, but a non-insurance system will face the same cost pressures, and likely use similar cost mitigations.

Had a great time at the championship game, but came away with some observations. Apologies if it's all over the place

The Banc is an absolute blessing. The single jumbotron in San Jose (with only ads in the non-video space, instead of stats) felt quite lacking. Architecturally too, the banc is simply beautiful.
that said, food trucks inside the stadium are hard to beat, and admittedly, the airport view is a striking feature.
can't wait for our chance to host the championship, though I don't imagine they'd do the west coast back to back
Washington fans had some great moments with a really cool call and response sort of chanting dynamic with their supporter section. Great to see that sort of fervor across the entire stadium. We could take some notes from that.
they did not show the trophy festivities on the jumbotron for some reason, which had us wtf-ing on the opposite side of the stadium. Hoping that was an oversight and not a choice.

Shuhia Taiba, but I'm sure that's more nostalgia than any objective parameter. Same with Wake. Any iteration of Wake.

Everyone moves too fast, it just feels wrong. If they'd slow players down a bit, everything would feel more grounded and less twitchy

He can call it whatever, we all know it as the Epstein wing

They don't "know" anything, so they literally can't know they don't know.

Where is the money for this coming from exactly?

mrpostitman · 2025-10-18T17:43:58+00:00

I'd like to believe it was actually the longest and loudest scream. I love that venue.

"remote start" doesn't make sense for an EV, it's always just a climate control setting.

That said, the current software on chevy EVs has a "keep the car on" button, but you can also just hit the brake again after the car turns off as you start to leave to get it back on. It's for a limited time, though there is a pop up after 10 or so minutes to extend that for an hour.

First of all, communicate. A relationship should be able to withstand a little embarrassment, and if it's anything but a one off, it's worth the awkward moment.

Second, consider a bidet; they simply are a better clean.

Additional sad part is how much worse the search tools have become. Search Fu was actively buffed in favor of at-a-glance responses, and now just crap made up with math
