"Everyone remove your airplane safety bubbles and don your driving home from the airport safety bubbles"

The engine accidentally turns on again and everyone gets sucked in. Nicknamed "the devil's engine" by underground paranormal forums. Ends up in a desert junkyard where it slowly shifts around disintegrating tumbleweeds and coyotes.

It's only behavior if it's an observable change in the state of a thing.

I think for many libertarians it comes down to not realizing how bad anarchy can be and overestimating their own ability to survive in the wild.

Yeah they should definitely put a solid cover on the front and back of the engine so nothing can go in or out. Make it safer.

You don't understand. He can never do it again, period. You know where that cheese money came from? That was dirty cheese money. The mob has boys on the lookout for him covering all the bridges out of town. First you get the cheese. Then you get the casserole. Then you get the women.

It means if you were trying to get into Arstotzka wearing his face and a trenchcoat, you would need to stand on someone's shoulders who was exactly as heavy as you.

So you're saying, For janet to disguse herself as MrWillSauce, she needs to get his face, a trenchcoat, sit on someones shoulders and likely break 8 feet in height, while sitting on another person weighing 220 lbs and then be a 8-9 foot tall super skinny trenchcoat wearing monster with a 17 year old mans bleeding sawn off face strapped to her head. Into a booth that likely wont even fit her and her accomplice now.


I don't think it's quite as bad as you make it sound.

For one thing, the person on the bottom doesn't get his full height, he's missing the height from his head which overlaps the height of the person on top. Also, the person on top doesn't count any of their leg length. Effectively the bottom person loses 1/8 of their height, and the person on top loses 1/2 theirs. Assuming both are about 5' tall,

Bottom: 5 x 7/8 = 4.375
Top: 5 x 1/2 = 2.5
Total: 6.875

This would probably be taller than the original person, sure. But you can do a lot by having the bottom person hunch over and bend his legs, and the top person slide back a bit farther on his shoulders and also hunch over a bit. But if they straightened up they would look a bit like a looming stilt-walker.

It is a strange game. The only way to win is to spend your board game budget that month on a much better game instead.

Don't be an asshole, eat a Gas Hole!

I like it. But geeks are generally bad at naming products.

I just wanted to interject that I suspect all, -every single-, crime of passion is actually caused by social reinforcement that such crimes of passion are the acceptable response to the situation. I have personally experienced a change in my outlook that makes me view the "husband comes home and shoots the guy who is in bed with his wife" as hilariously ridiculous. And simultaneously I remember how strongly accepting and understanding I was of that husband's feelings only a few years ago. I guess what I'm saying is, people are not just influenced by culture and social expectations that they carry around with them. If "influenced by" means you carry it on your shoulder, the reality is that you're staggering around under it Atlas-style and scarcely able to function.

Well if they wanted to lead people around by the nose, they would give the laws some teeth.

Good gods people, it's been something like a post a minute for the last half hour in here >_<

My singing sounds the same pitch, and does not change. Again, monotonous.
It might be worth it to look into some of the musical styles that don't involve vibrato and whatnot. Some stuff is intended to be monotone, or something pretty similar to it, and can still sound pretty nice. Tunak tunak tun is, I think, (close to?) an example.

From what I understand, you might start looking in the middle eastern or heavily islam-influenced areas.
Gregorian chant. Plus it acts as a Sleep spell in certain situations.

It's too bad you're banned from most public restrooms, Yoink.
When you're drunk and have a bedsheet, every street corner looks like a public restroom.
To someone who is about to vomit, everything looks like a toilet.

The places I would check to stop the printer from flipping would be the printer driver in your system tools (which may not have any controls), the printer options that come up when you try to print something, and the printer that is set up as a device connected to your network. These will be in different places depending on your OS.

I would also try googling "<printer number> wireless channel" and see what comes up. Chances are a lot of other people have had the same problems.

You might also try going about it another way, forcing the wifi to use only one channel (at least while printing, if it causes problems elsewhere). There's probably a option in your router utility interface for "select best channel" and you can deselect that and choose a channel. I suspect this relates somehow to radio frequency and the router will switch channels to avoid interference. So you may have problems operating with a static channel. You'd access your router controls by opening a web browser and going to the router's IP address in your local network, something like 127.0.0.1 or whatever it is. It might be written on the router itself.
