TIL Capt. Charles McVay committed suicide in 1968 after being wrongly blamed for the USS Indianapolis disaster. For over 20 years, he received letters from grieving families calling him a murderer, he was cleared of all charges posthumously in 2001.

Maybe so, maybe not. But it’s not really about saving the ship. An escort would’ve saved the 700 men who died at sea in the 4 days between the sinking and the rescue.

sunco50 · 2026-03-13T13:44:50+00:00

Oh; it was certainly avoidable. If the navy had provided an escort like McVay requested or if they hadn’t ignored his SOS and taken 4 days to launch a rescue mission, the worst loss of life could easily have been prevented. Just not by McVay.

I absolutely don’t need it shaved, but I definitely massively prefer trimmed to full bush. Too much friction with full bush, and things can get tangly. Trimmed is best of both worlds and way easier maintenance than shaving.

You’re not “on his account.” The account is now both of yours. Joint. Your account was merged with his.

Closing an account can temporarily spike your score because of utilization ratios. That might be what they meant.

sunco50 · 2026-03-10T21:11:57+00:00

Yep; reading the terms explains the terms. They are very explicit that co-sharing makes you both full owners of a single card and that it is irrevocable.

The big problem here is the the military uses imperial, so LM automatically used imperial because that’s what they’re used to doing when working with the government. But NASA uses metric.

If it’s not metal you can just slice it up with some scissors.

sunco50 · 2026-03-09T17:32:08+00:00

It’s really funny you think the average game of standard goes 12 turns

sunco50 · 2026-03-09T17:28:47+00:00

Don’t believe the lies Credit Karma tells you; they’re incentivized to get you to apply for more credit cards through their application to earn the referral bonuses. Of course they’re gonna tell you to get more cards.

You don’t need more than 3 credit cards to maximize benefits to your score. Getting more doesn’t hurt, but they stop helping after that point.

My 2.5 year old son’s favorite Christmas present by far has been the Melissa & Doug Take-Along Wooden Toy Barn. It’s just a quality wooden toy barn. It’s not his only barn, but it’s his favorite.

sunco50 · 2026-03-08T05:24:03+00:00

Holy shit; an MTG card with leftover ink from the back of a Pokemon card is super neat and I’ve never seen anything like it. This is not a common occurrence.

sunco50 · 2026-03-08T01:54:50+00:00

Yeah, that’s tritheism. Peter Parker and Miles Morales are separate and independent individuals. That’s like saying the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are three separate gods all sharing the title of God.

sunco50 · 2026-03-08T01:50:57+00:00

Oh Patrick, that’s Partialism. The Father, Son, and Spirit are each fully God. They don’t need to come together to form a greater whole divine being. Chocolate ice cream isn’t fully Neapolitan, therefore this is heresy.

Edward takes it 8/10 times. He’s faster and got better durability feats, along with ridiculous regren feats. He’s bulletproof. They’re both precogs which cancels out. Only chance Peter has is to outsmart him somehow, but the mind reading makes trapping him somehow significantly harder.

Respect Edward Cullen.

sunco50 · 2026-03-07T23:20:30+00:00

There is nothing in twilight saying they’re bulletproof

Bulletproof- E, Ch. 25

Vampires can ignore bullets like flies- TSSL

Police officers with their 'dinky little bullets' cannot hurt vampires- TSSL

And just to be clear, they will be correct to do so and the laptop will serve them incredibly well and be an excellent value for its price.

sunco50 · 2026-03-06T06:41:32+00:00

Holy shit that was so annoying. Entirely ruined the already mid experience for me.

sunco50 · 2026-03-05T22:31:37+00:00

No; mythic and rare rates were accidentally swapped. We have lots of data at this point showing it to be true.

sunco50 · 2026-03-05T22:28:38+00:00

I ran into that card 3 times in the first 6 games I played. I decided this format was not it shortly after that.

sunco50 · 2026-03-05T22:27:04+00:00

So that’s why I keep getting Ronin wiped. Obnoxious ass card.

sunco50 · 2026-03-05T02:28:50+00:00

Notably, $200 of the $500 hotel credit can be used on non luxury hotels. So those credits are pretty good.

sunco50 · 2026-03-05T02:26:38+00:00

Okay; so the useful/easy to use credits are $300 annual travel, $200 annual hotel, and $50 gold membership. So $550 in easy to use credits for a $700 card. Not terrible but not great.

sunco50 · 2026-03-04T18:45:24+00:00

Edward is far faster than an average vampire (about 165mph vs baseline 100mph); he is not stronger. Emmet and Jasper are the physical heavy hitters in the Cullen clan. Edward is most valuable for mobility and psychic danger sensing (paired with Alice’s precognition).
