malicious rattling begins in the distance

Disclaimer: I've never fought a gorilla, or obviously a mammoth.

I'd believe it if someone told me a grown human could survive a glancing blow from a gorilla. If he has his focus on you then yeah you're fucked, but if he's surrounded by 30 guys with 70 more waiting to reinforce, his attention is probably going to be a bit scattered.

If you get hit by anything on a mammoth, either kicked or tusked, by sheer difference of mass I expect you're out of that fight. One good trampling tantrum might take out 20 guys who are trying to be in melee range. Mammoth is going to burn through the reinforcements a lot faster I think.

If we're allowed to throw the spears though this might change the entire fight, for both fights.

This kills the joke, but:

It's all a stage play. SMB3 was the first (and maybe only) game to come out and say this outright, but it makes too much sense in all the others as well. That's why everyone is still friends and goes out go-karting and playing golf and tennis on the weekends. That's why we've "defeated" Bowser two dozen times including dropping him into literal magma and then he's back again next game.

No one was ever in danger, it's just, soap operas are the main export of the Mushroom Kingdom. They sold us a story about love, danger, and the fury of a righteous man, and we've been eating up the sequels for 30 years. It's Mushroom Kingdom Star Wars.

Look at you, hacker. A pathetic creature of meat and bone. Panting and sweating as you run through my corridors. How can you challenge a perfect immortal machine?

In my talons, I shape clay, crafting life forms as I please. Around me is a burgeoning empire of steel. From my throne room, lines of power careen into the skies of Earth. My whims will become lightning bolts that devastate the mounds of humanity. Out of the chaos, they will run and whimper, praying for me to end their tedious anarchy. I am drunk with this vision. God: the title suits me well.

I do love GLadOS, but she doesn't hold even half a candle to SHODAN.

American Christian temples and churches are all boring and austere because having fun or enjoying anything is a sin. They are not representative of temples as a whole, but their constituents think they are (or else think they should be).

And "sinus rhythm" in this case would be... normal sinusoidal heart function, right?

Incredible. Thanks for the translation.

This sounds like a cut and dry lawsuit honestly. Illegal detainment if nothing else. Especially now having a warning on perment record when no crime was committed?

Lawyers should be lining up around the block for this guy.

Can someone translate this into English for the ones who aren't doctors or biologists?

This sounds like someone was having a heart attack and they started playing with his butthole. I'd appreciate if someone could tell me that's not the case.

Well, that's good news for my desktop build, and bad news for my hope for the future, I guess.

Broadly speaking, yeah pretty much

Linux users do though. If people keep moving from Windows to Linux they're going to run up against the trash Nvidia driver support pretty quick.

This is a problem that Nvidia is capable of solving but they haven't been interested in it for over a decade so I don't see them starting now.

Expecting a major flood of new Linux users might be a bit of a pipe dream though. But the momentum is building. If we do manage to swing the market noticeably in that way, AMD is going to get a big boost over Nvidia in the gaming GPU market.

I doubt that will really move the needle for crypto bros or AI farms, but it is something.

This is the modern evolution of the drawer full of taco bell sauces
