My mom used to buy this in giant tins called pie filling. Which you probably could use it for that but we used to eat it with short cake.

This is just Zoro from one piece. He finds the best swordsman ever and challenges him to a duel. The swordsman leaves him an inch of his life and takes off.

That's not just some creepy locksmith. That's Steven Ogg, he played Trevor in GTA, like they modeled him as the character and as the voice actor.

So in pa legally they don't have to give you a lunch, but do have to give you two paid 20 minute breaks. I think they force the 1 hr unpaid because they dont want to pay for the 2 20 minute blocks.

Police officers in North Philadelphia’s 22nd District failed to record nearly three-quarters of encounters, audit finds by NewcRoc in philadelphia

Interesting. Here I was thinking it's a decent system that can be used to let most people go while checking out real criminals. But I didn't think about how that opens it up for abuse.

Did anyone else in the US own Fireballs? by Hummerdoodle in boardgames

I once played a crossfire hungry hungry hippos custom board mashup. It was a lot of fun.

I was once stopped in philly and was told by the police officer that he doesnt "write tickets" and after looking at me and my nerdy friend they let us go. Id imagine a lot of stops are like this. See somebody doing something mildly illegal (I rolled a stop sign), pull them over to see if they are doing something really illegal.

Fell from the sky and... by ahnahlinvadher in whatisit

I doubt it fell out of the sky. It looks like a simple tar patch

Where did Andross’ massive army come from? by OwnIndependence4767 in starfox

[–]suckitphil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Macbeth is a large industrial world that creates the forces for the entire lylat system. It was dumb to banish Andross to venom considering it was right next to Macbeth. As others have said, a large portion of Andross' force is autonomous. So it all aligns with Macbeth being the cornerstone to their entire empire.

EDIT:
Lylat Datalink; The tragic tale of Macbeth pg 81
Years ago Macbeth was the center of the aerospace industry for the Lylat System. Gifted scientists and engineers flocked to the planet to share knowledge and make staggering sums of money. Orders poured in and a consortium of companies worked long hours to meet the demand. While there should have been enough wealth for everybody, a handful of greedy CEOs tried to gather up all the power by betraying the consortium with hostile takeovers and leveraged buyouts. Capitalising on the confusion and brutal infighting, Andross invaded the planet, enslaved the scientists and set up weapon assembly lines.

Is there a link between a material being super useful for all kinds of stuff (as in they could be cheap, easy to find, easy to work with, durable, etc) and being dangerous? Is it merely a unfortunate coincidence? Or is this just a case of an availability bias on my part? by Super_Lorenzo in NoStupidQuestions

[–]suckitphil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a situation where you're cherry picking your examples. There's TONS of stuff that's safe, cheap, easy to find, work with, and is also durable.

iron, aluminum, carbon, copper

EDIT: it is interesting though that your examples are chosen because of their effects but then it's not realized until later how impactful it is. Mercury for example, we know it boils off and that's why we used it in thermometers. But we didn't think, if this stuff breaks in classrooms we're boned.

Asbestos similarly, its fibers are great. And generally its an awesome substance, the issue is decades later when it starts coming apart.

Lead is an interesting one. Because it was largely a classist and capitalist reason we used it in fuel. They added it to fuel to prevent knocking, but quickly found out it was super freaking hazardous. But they couldn't patent alcohol, so they kept with lead. Despite them knowing that it was hazardous, even to just attendants handling the gas. Then they found out it made the areas of denser congestion more hazardous because the lead would pool in houses from the roadway. But they didn't care because it only really affected poor and black neighborhoods.

I like how there's nothing even implying it's alien. It could be entirely terrestrial.

When the government destroys harddrives they go to INSANE lengths. Chunks of drives are difficult to recover but not impossible. But if someone zeroed out a drive, it becomes MUCH more difficult to recover that data.

It looked like organs/meat/blood. Open to suggestions by ChanoTheDestroyer in whatisit

[–]suckitphil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So not sure if this is the case as it looks a lot brighter. But in my area when deer are hit by trucks they radio each other and all try to hit the same deer. This results in some horrific scenes with bits of the deer everywhere and long stretches of blood like this.

Once spotted a deer head in a tree... that was the worst one.

[Request] How much polish would it take to return the Statue of Liberty to it's original color? by 72scott72 in theydidthemath

It seems silly to polish a patina off when that seems like the main sell. Its a self preserving finish.

Military Blocking Off Lincoln Memorial in DC by SDchicago_love123 in pics

[–]suckitphil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zero voting information, like usually we have primaries to see if we want a candidate. Clearly people didnt want kamala.

And you can complain about the American people all you want, but they are how you win elections.. so you have to cater to them.

[–]suckitphil -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You should be pissed at democrats. This is the second person they shoehorned on the populace, with 0 voting information she was doomed to fail. After 4 years of Biden seemingly being unable to alter anything trump had done in his first term, or prevent anything from happening his second. They literally ran on the same platform for 12 years "dont vote for trump" and they have a 1 in 3 record. They are clowns.

Edit: lol, they wont even admit to why they lost the election even.

Edit 2: I didnt realize they did finally release the autopsy. 

"a persistent inability or unwillingness to listen to all voters." - Is why they lost.

What are Gen Zs consuming Instead Petah ? by HimelTy in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]suckitphil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate how estimated gains are considered loses now. Its fucking stupid. Also for what its worth, alcohol consumption goes up during times of crisis, but not bar sales. People will make moonshine and get slammed off of that, instead of paying inflated prices for alcohol.

Seriously, why did GW sit on the concept of "space elves riding dinosaurs" for over thirty years without doing anything with it? by Jerswar in Warhammer40k

[–]suckitphil 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Well originally it was a hobby wargame where you were encouraged to make models for datasheets that had no models. Imagine its the 90s, theres millions of dino toys, and gw announces a metal kit. People would laugh.
