Maybe... maybe a little explaination? Some of us flatly refuse to follow unexplained YouTube links... and don't have sound, anyway.

There is a solution to this redhead conundrum.

It is an electric razor.

Orbital drop frisbee would be sufficiently excessive and wasteful for a future!sport par excellence... probably would involve supersonic high atmosphere surfboards and some kind of two stage rocket you'd snap on the frisbee to get it out and in, in a timely manner.

Hey, bear arms are pretty high caliber. Have to be if they're going to be used to combat domestic tyranny. I'm not sure which firearms use them, though. I imagine they're pretty awkward to fire, unless you use bear cubs or something. I guess a cub arm encased in brass or something could get out a reasonable sized barrel? Fairly sure not many firearms are designed for that use, t'be honest...

Eh? All the ones that Pnx quoted (I can't see the ones in the main update due to shitpad not loading about three fourths of the screenshots) have water access, don't they? Diagonals.

You fix it like Frumple knows or cares what's in hotdogs. Hotdog is an omnimeat, all meats and no meats at the same time. It can be both kosher and not kosher simultaneously, because the hotdog exists in a state of quantum meat flux.

A delicious thing. Also kosher hotdogs!

That all sounds like crazy-ass technocratic Pagan fascism to me.
Look on bright side. At least most of the crazies here know what an apple tree is. You can't actually say that for the whole of the actual youth of the world. Apples come from factories or something for some of them :-\

Apple factories on mars, I guess? Staffed by legal aliens?

Definitely the upper right teal, at least for the first one. Crabapples! I think it gives us more special resources we don't already have at least one of, anyway, which is probably good? I... I've never actually gotten around to figuring out if they stack. I think they do, but...

Anyway. Five shinies as opposed to four or three. Obvious choice is obvious, especially when the two "three" options don't allow for crab jokes.

Land of the Guru
Well, the guru is ideally a truth seeker, and they say in vino veritas or whatever... there's a veneto in there which is sorta' close so maybe that's what the guy was thinking? It's somewhat convoluted reasoning but I can see it.

Rule number one of fixing shit that looks scratched. Verify that the scratch is, in fact, a scratch :P
Ha, yeah... yeah. I will say, thinking on it, I'm actually pretty impressed by whatever the hell they did to scratch proof these things' lenses. Despite using the same ones for at least four years now and semi-regularly sleeping on them, they've somehow managed to come through without damage. S'honestly a lil'awe inspiring. S'like, what elder gods blood did they coat these lenses in? And, how do I get some for like my windshield.

'Kay, so last night I picked up my glasses and there was this sizable looking scratch going diagonal across one of the lenses. Was seriously going "shit" looking at it. I've got another set of mostly functioning glasses, but the folks that made them royally fucked up and most of the outer bits of my vision aren't in focus because of whatever they screwed up with the lens -- gives me an absolutely massive headache within an hour or two of wearing them and kills my peripheral vision even more.

This morning... this morning, I took my fingernail and scratched at it a bit. Hope springs eternal, right? Maybe it'll come off, I joke to myself forlornly.

... it came off. Looked like a heavy scratch, felt like a scratch. Wasn't. Huh. Nae complaining, but that surprised me. A happy-ish WTF.

Nothin' wrong with that!

Except maybe OS conflicts or whatever. Still, there's been a solid handfull of good games made with the thing. Take th'game on its virtues instead of its programming base, heh. Unless the latter outright prevents you from enjoying the former. That always sucks :-\

I believe one glass of red wine a day is supposed to help ward off either heart disease or cancer. I'm not sure on that.
It's heart disease, yes, but iirc it's an effect limited to red wines grown in certain areas. Something about soil composition. Cheap shit you buy in an American liquor store probably won't have quite the same effect. S'more likely to be found in European stuff, so far as I'm aware, and that's where the studies I've ran into produced notably positive results.

I've chimed in on alcohol use a number of times, so no real need to repeat m'self, I guess. I will say that, for folks uninterested in the stuff, never feel pressured to consume alcohol. You are under no true obligation to imbibe a mood altering poison, nor are you missing out on anything truly substantial. If you don't want to, don't. You're in no way lesser because of it.
