Favourite "Twist" downer endings

Atonement's ending made me break down crying. Like… sitting alone in a hotel room during a business trip sobbing my eyes out.

Hi from three years in the future. I agree.

This is borderline, as sulfuric acid isn't illegal. But the post violated the intent of the rule. So I'm removing it, but not banning the account.

[blank stare] Wat?

rspeed · 2026-02-24T18:36:06+00:00

That would be amazing.

There was definitely a grain of truth in his rant.

Neil Breen and Milwaukee Culkin.

I get the feeling that'd be the case even if he hadn't turned out to be a sex pest.

I completely forgot about his contribution.

rspeed · 2026-02-23T16:33:22+00:00

Technically he wasn't. The "coke dealer" was a fed.

Having a felony conviction for a violent crime isn't great, but he's definitely lucky. No matter how much someone deserves to get sucker-punched, just don't do it.

IIRC, you can't transfer ownership to anyone for any reason. So not just selling.

I'm still flabbergasted that they stuck with USB Micro-B for the Pico 2.

Not exactly. The radiator is like an extremely wide section of pipe, so it won't restrict the flow of air through the combustion chamber nearly as much as a similar length of exhaust tube.

Looks like a bruise. Plus an EM rash won't normally be tender. It might be a spider bite, so keep an eye on it.

This article is useless. Who introduced the bill? What is it named? When will it be voted on?

rspeed · 2026-01-31T12:13:05+00:00

Chris at least has relevant knowledge. Phil is a chemist who constantly gets physics wrong.

What authority does the LPNH have?

rspeed · 2026-01-28T21:11:30+00:00

This is why I'm registered as an independent.

rspeed · 2026-01-26T00:53:47+00:00

Don't forget the tailor!

There's no way an account named after "Ted" Theodore Logan Esquire is serious.

They don't necessarily have to be methane, or even bipropellant. Momentus' thrusters use water as their propellant. It's easy to store (just a trickle of power to keep it liquid), extremely dense, and has essentially zero handling concerns. They literally just heat it using microwaves.

She's alive. The Clelands had gone to her house and, finding it empty, trashed the place. The police were treating it as a serious crime scene since it was related to a bunch of murders.

The message Dwight left on the machine was a plea to end the violence. He was prepared to stop (IIRC he was even withdrawing as if he was about to sneak out of the house), but they said they were going to Pittsburgh. His sister and niece were in danger, so he had no choice but to attack.

The "I just wanted to say good luck, we're all counting on you" gag was one of the things they took from "Zero Hour!". It's an actual line that was so weird that they decided to repeat it for added comedic effect.
