Apple sells refurbs. The headset hasn't even been out two weeks yet. Give it time.

I saved a bunch of these wonderful creations and sent them to my fiancé. I could just link her here, but...

I laughed way too long at this.

SciShow did a piece (partially) about this recently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXEFQH5UXHQ

And Veritasium did a deeper dive a while back: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IV3dnLzthDA

The whole situation is thoroughly fucked up, but hey, as long as people are making money amirite? 😑

...damn. That was great.

Somewhat. It was nowhere to be found for quite awhile, and I figured it was lost to time. Then a few years ago my fiancé finally got into Nightwish so I did a search and there it was. Multiple versions are still up, so I'm hoping it stays that way.

I love Nightwish, and this is a great cover.

Many moons ago, I was in an IRC room when power metal came up. Someone started talking about Elvenpath, so I went and looked up the band. "Huh, this is pretty good." So the first three albums went into my rotation. Then a few years later I saw a music video someone put together using 10th Man Down and footage from 08th MS Team and was freakin floored.

Edit: just posted the video over in !gundam@possumpat.io if anyone is interested

Getting a heat pump has been on my want-to-do list for years. But even though my furnace is aging, it still works so it's been hard to justify while there were other issues going on. Accelerating adoption is only going to make the process easier when the time comes.

Yeah, this shit happens all the time in NJ. Related to someone powerful? Here, have a free political position!

Andy Kim is getting my vote in the primary but with Murphy getting anointed like this, the full weight of the machine is going to be behind her.

Look what killed Prime in the animated movie.

Yeah, it's the little purple gun:

It's always imprecise at best when doing cross-universe comparisons, but there's just a massive amount of difference in firepower, armor, and scale. There's no contest IMO.

Engineer Guy went years between ~~books~~ uploads. I had to do a double take when he came up in my feed a few months ago.

For as phenomenal is the game is, we sure are getting some lame cop-outs in place of tying up loose ends.

Edit: looks like the spoiler tags render correctly on the web page, but not all apps support it.

tl;drIt was magic and just disappeared and people are used to magic so... yeah shit's gone, yo

 

This makes an excellent phone lock screen IMO. Classy af.

 

I used to be indifferent to the Black Tri-Stars (the Ocean dub made them out to be yokels on top of being bad guy of the week for Amuro to dunk on), but eventually I came across their Zaku I and II customs and fell in love. At some point I learned about what absolute terrors they were to the Federation fleet during the OYW. It cast their OG appearance in a different light for me. I am 100% a fan now.
