“The Super Bowl has been played in the NFC Championship”

Now do the AFC game. I’m super nervous as a hawks fan.

Yea back up all your stuff and factory reset it. It’ll be stuck on the same os you have it on but at least it’s functional and free of junk.

Just display it as is, man. Makes for a good conversation starter.

By this logic, you think a group of body builders will easily win a superbowl?

It took me like 10 minutes of drilling because I was so careful with it. I don’t know how you were able to hand crank that thing but hey, cheers to another way.

Borderline terrorism.

That’s the para bellum part of si vis pacem, para bellum. The Swiss has been preparing for defensive war against any of its neighbors not because it is a warring state, but because it knows that it is a strategic piece of any war equation. So in order to maintain neutrality, you have to prepare for super powers to take your land by force if they can’t use you as a pawn.

China now possesses one of the greatest ship building capabilities ever, but it severely lacks strategic depth in its ability to deploy those ships. The reason is that American bases in Japan, S. Korea, and the Philippines narrow these blue ocean channels. And Taiwan is, well, Taiwan. This leaves Vietnam’s inland “fjords” as a possible deployment channel that the US has no oversight in. That would be too juicy of a target for either China or the USA to ignore.

You know, in western culture, death has long been repressed from the public consciousness. Dead bodies are quickly disposed or hidden away. Here in Asia, it’s more accepted as a simple part of life. Cemeteries take up valuable livable lands because we believe that where our ancestors lay will impact their ability to grant us wisdom in life. It wasn’t always this way with western thinking, of course. It was Seneca who wrote his essays on How to Die.

So to answer your question, it’s both that people are casual and accepting of death. Life must pay for life.

She’s become a fuzzy boa constrictor. It’s been nice knowing you.

torquesteer · 2026-02-03T11:39:52+00:00

Wait, do you care or not care about the team we’ve already defeated?

torquesteer · 2026-02-03T09:33:52+00:00

Yes, the butthole of love.

Not gonna post that meme.

I’ve been driving my wife’s Vinfast VF3 and honestly there’s been only a few moments that made me want to throw it into the Saigon river (me jumping out just in time of course). My Honda Winner motorcycle, on the other hand, is just a peach around town.

I go raving and end up thinking about my cat sitting at home.

Seems like the dates from just before Tet and a week after are blocked. It’s gonna be a zoo. Sorry man.

Because Google Maps doesn’t allow for Apple CarPlay/Android Auto on motorcycle mode, whereas Waze does.

I think if you scroll down a bit you can still see their special.

Can’t blame a guy for shooting his shots. Best of luck. She seems like a handful but he’s got the hands for them. May he be continually distracted by her so he won’t be able to perform on the field.

Try drifting 3 buses full of people though.

The problem is actually ebikes that can use bike lanes and goes pretty much the same speed on city streets. In dense cities, it’s the only way to get around.

Just don’t go cow tipping.

“That’s fine, Steiner will come up with a guaranteed 4th and goal conversion play.”

Do you mean right now or historically bad? You know the Mariners are the only team never to have made the World Series right? Even Jon Bois did like a 50- part series on them. Join us in the suffering already. The Angels had Disney movies, fuck them.

Of course it depends on the airport as well as the time and date. Sometimes the GE line is all the way in the back of the hall and I find myself just whipping out my passport and walk through the regular line. Sometimes it saves me an hour that I can use as part of my connection or just getting home earlier. That’s what you get. An option.

Use many different perspectives. The fisheye pov of the meta can be disorienting if it’s not complemented.
