Also the fact that they are made of metal. Heck, just the idea of lighting a fire below deck of a ship made of cast iron back in the civil war was seen as something insane.

I’m interested to see what they come up with to solve the issues of cold environments at altitude and refueling between legs.

I fix giant metal birds that light themselves on fire and scream really loud to fly across the sky. The kingdom heavily regulates who fixes them, how they fix them, and who flies them to make sure everyone is safe.

Just unplug them? Most appliances still draw some electricity (i.e. phantom load) when turned off.

Rock music starts blasting as your mech turns to face the bulkhead. The dropship’s engines roar louder as it approaches the ground, and the wall in front of you flies upwards. Your mech’s feet slam into the ground with a heavy thud.

You’re getting older. When you reach your 30’s, you’ll feel tired the next day because you had a couple of beers. You’ll feel like crap for a couple of days if you get drunk.

IIIII can’t… See… ANYTHIIIIIING!

I always find myself listening to Distractible on long road trips. The stories are really funny. My top two episodes are Bob’s Fridge and Illegal Advice.

If you decide to stick with AutoCAD, the educational version is free. It just leaves a watermark on your project prints.

Exactly. I went in blind. No trailers, no interviews, no hype. All I knew was it was a Bethesda space game. It started off slow, but after about 12 hrs (half of which was me goofing off and gun running for money), I’m starting to really like the game.

Seeing a trashcan explode into a tesseract-can is pretty funny, albeit a bit concerning about what other props have multiple copies embedded in them. I do hope Bethesda seriously re-evaluates their stance and does some optimization and scrubbing. The game runs ok on my system, but my card should not be screaming as hard as it is.

He covers up to the first few main story quests and an almost mandatory side quest.

Your local Fire Marshall would like to know your location.

Primary traffic routes during an emergency have priority. It is a hazard for doors to open into a hallway.

For all the people that don’t understand where there name of the community came from, here is the video that started it all: https://youtu.be/P0dXtOVi2yo?si=Vlxetg3tmkjWGE70

It’s a reference to an old Zero Punctuation video.

Home internet data caps WERE a thing of the past when Obama appointed Tom Wheeler as FCC chairman, who then pushed rulings to classify ISPs as a public utility and started enforcing net neutrality. Companies that didn’t play ball started getting fined until they fell in line. Being a former executive for a major ISP, he was very familiar with the anti-competitive practices and underhanded tricks those companies had been using for years; and he used those practices against them to finally make some pro-consumer progress for internet access in the US.

Then, Trump came in and put Ajit Pai in charge of the FCC (no joke, my phone kept auto correcting his name to Shit Pie). Anyways, Shit Pie tore down those rulings and undid all those years of progress as part of the Trump administration’s anti-Obama initiative. Even though it was proven time and again that what he did was directly against public opinion, and that ISPs were flooding the public commentary with bot posts(some even made by dead people); Shit Pie continued to meme about himself and drink from an obnoxiously large Reese’s coffee mug while doing so. At this point, every provider of internet services has added back data caps in the US, and they have continued to increase their prices to maintain that 99.9% profit margin. They’ve also locked down more areas to prevent municipal broadband services from forming, and they’re even pushing for legislation to prevent them from ever happening.

The current administration has done absolutely nothing. In fact, they’ve been so unremarkable, I have no idea who is in charge of the FCC, and I don’t feel like looking it up.
