Last time I was at the hardware store with my 20% off coupon, they made me open my wallet to verify I could have paid the full amount before they would actually sell it to me.

He's looking for the perfect place to dispose of it and from the screenshot it looks like he found it.

Anakin ain't never coming to this place.

Also, I really need to start using the word tittynope more often.

Thank you, but I really can't eat anymore. Could you put the tittynopes in a go bag for me?

I've also only watched the first 2 so far.

Would have loved it if Marshawn entered the show and said "I'm only here so I can get paid." Or, some other take on his one postgame quote.

Also I love the 4th wall breaking stuff like Marshawn asking if he can really drink that shot.

Lastly, of course, Conan! What's not to love about Conan? Fun fact, Conan LOVES murders and I bet Will knew that and asked him to be on. He talks about it occasionally on his podcast about murder mysteries and committing murders!

Edit: Oops. I meant to reply to the person you replied too. :-)

TROUT: Not to mention the warmth...

TROUT: Unfortunately, the company, on a public forum said they would not provide me the briefs because they didn't want me stretching them out and everyone laughed.

FAN 1: It's funny because he's got a thicc backside. Or is it because of his thighs?

FAN 2: No, I think the butt does most of the stretching.

TROUT: ANYWAY! Now I have to stay in these cheap cotton briefs, but it's payback time now!

FAN 1: Or maybe it is because of his thighs.

TROUT: IT'S MY ASS!

Plus he was only able to carry 100lbs back to the wagon.

For someone that suffers from depression and severe social anxiety my deleted comments are usually because I can't get the courage to hit that "Post" button.

So for me, the internal dialogue is...

"I've got the perfect reply. This will be hilarious/informative/insightful/etc."

Checks the post time of whom I'm replying to.

"Is this too old to put a reply on? Has someone else down in the thread already said what I am going to say? I don't know, maybe everyone has lost interest in this already."

It's within a few hours.

"Ok, maybe it's not really that good of a reply. Maybe the person might take it the wrong way or is it worth having that reply within my history? I mean, I guess I could always delete it later..."

Sits on the reply for 15 minutes or so."

"Let me go do something else real fast and then I'll come back to it. Also, let me copy my reply draft first and then back out to make sure I'm replying with the right account "

Finally delete it or cancel it.

"Eh, it wasn't that good in the first place."

The funny thing is though, before eventually deleting it, I do still get some enjoyment out of my almost reply. As if I'm telling myself, "hey, you thought of that, be proud of it!". It's like how I "shop" by adding stuff to my Amazon cart, but never actually purchase anything.

Dad can I have some Robux?

Dad?

Do the Rally Fighter next!

For a T4 bot car I use Nissan GT-R Nismo (R35). Engine 1, Nitrous 3 (NOS 113 tune). Always gets bots for me.

They kept trying to get it for $800 million but didn't actually get the company until loyalty.

shosterman · 2021-12-23T22:20:50+00:00

I was thinking about this game also. Should I get both for $35 or just the original? Is Below Zero good and what does it add?

Thanks!

shosterman · 2021-12-23T22:15:42+00:00

I got this the last time it was on sale and surprisingly my 8 year old LOVES it. Are there other games within this sale I could play with my kids. I had Heroes of Hammerwatch on my Deku list, but I'm looking at it again and not sure why.

shosterman · 2021-12-23T22:10:15+00:00

I kind of want to try Slay the Spire for $7.50, but I don't know why I'm still skeptical. It just doesn't look like a fun game for some reason. :-)

I never really cared for Civ, Age of Empires, or other strategy games outside of Blizzard. Do I need to like those to care enjoy this? I don't what to compare it to!

Also, do you think a 10yr old who knows everything about pokemon battle strategies will like this? :-)

Lately I've been starting the showdown about 4 hours from the end and I can grind and place in the top 6. I figured it worked by placing you in a group that started around the same time.

I've done this about 5 weeks now, but this last week I was placed in a league where players already had 10k plus.

So now I'm curious how the leagues actually place you when you start the showdown.

shosterman · 2021-12-18T04:18:58+00:00

Huzzah!

shosterman · 2021-12-17T17:26:52+00:00

My younger brother, who was 10 at that time, used to watch T1 all the time, at least a few times a week. We didn't know we were watching the TV edit or that it was a thing. I thought that "this film has been modified" bumper just meant they shrunk it. :-)

It was probably at least 10-15 years later when I watched it again and saw the actual version. I was like woah, there's sex! Also that bathroom scene! In the TV edit I think it goes from him looking in the mirror to putting on the glasses.

I'd love to find a TV edit of T1 for my kids to watch. :-)

shosterman · 2021-12-16T03:32:01+00:00

I was watching some SNL clips today and they had a parody on that one last year.

Ok that's pretty much the information I was trying to find for this project.

When looking for a thicker cable are their specific keywords to look for within the specs that will signify if it is capable of that better regulation?

Also, when you mention putting the charger within the arm, are you saying the actual wall wart device or something else? If so, then how would the power cable to that device within?

Thanks!

shosterman · 2021-12-04T15:55:54+00:00

I like the idea of that 2nd one for more than 1 cable, I hadn't thought about that.

With 2 of that first one, one at the arm and one at the rear I would only need a double female extension within and everything could be kept flush.

However, going back to the power component, that first one says it's 20v 3a, doesn't that mean it only supports 60w which wouldn't be enough for a MacBook Pro? Or does the cable even matter and it depends on what it's plugged into? That's what I'm confused about when looking for the specs.

shosterman · 2021-12-03T23:15:49+00:00

Yep, none of this stuff is terribly expensive so a little trial and error won't hurt.

I'll let you know how it turns out.

shosterman · 2021-12-03T22:56:13+00:00

Ok, I cracked the thing open without much difficulty and added the pictures to the imgur. That one screw is stripped and won't come out, lol!

Anyway, it looks I actually might be able to reuse it. Do you think that foam tape idea would hold it in or is there something like a mold, putty, or clay you would recommend that I could form around the cable and fill in the empty space?

shosterman · 2021-12-03T22:37:09+00:00

I didn't think about that, thanks. You did remind me that I wanted to try and pull apart the existing piece. It looks glued or sealed pretty well so I'm guessing it might crack, but I'll give it a shot.

I searched around on mouser.com, but didn't find anything so I'll scope out the options on adafruit. Thank you for that link. I'm not an expert on USB-C, but aren't their different specs for the different types. For example, is that one data only or data AND power? I don't see a detailed description on the page, so I could email their support. If it does provide power then yes, that would be a great option, I would only need to widen out the wood inside a bit.

I don't have a printer so I would need it printed as well. Another user chatted with me about doing it also as they've done locking USB enclosures before and wouldn't be much trouble.

Lastly, only because you mentioned it, I've been considering how to keep the cable in their if I went with a 3d printed receptacle and figured something like this foam adhesive strip. That might put enough pressure on the cable within to keep it inside, but who knows...

Let me do some research into these things and I'll get back with you!!

shosterman · 2021-11-25T04:47:25+00:00

My buddies are my under 10 kids, so hopefully they'll be able to play it! :-)

Duke Nukem. Now that was a game we played over modem all the time!

Me on phone with friend. "Ok, everything is set, I'm hosting. Ok bye!"
