That’s for when your car is out of gas. If you’re fully car dependent then the gas station is the one place you could ever be forced to walk to.

I’m guessing the thought process is “well if my car is out of gas, that’s the one place I’d actually have to walk to.”

Some people don’t like when it’s too quiet. For some it’s uneasy, for some it makes it too hard to stop your mind from wandering. That can make it hard to sleep or hard to focus on a task. White noise is noise that makes it not quiet, but isn’t so loud or too full of meaning to be a distraction on its own. Most people use something like ocean waves, running water, rain, wind noises, the warp core noise from Star Trek, etc.

Enshittification

He’s not even the main character, he’s a sidekick and not even the most prominent of the sidekicks really. (Despite the fact that he appears first in many character lists for the movie, the protagonist is Searcher)

If we are guessing that each roommate has and mostly drank their beverage of choice, then while the overall quantity isn’t too bad, the guy who likes Blue Moon may need to rethink his habits.

lol 400%?

Try 27,200%. That is the actual ratio on publicly traded companies.

Trying to claim the term “Web3” is a futile battle. It is already widely understood to mean crypto and blockchain. If I see a job posting that says the company is built on Web3, I know immediately that the job is built on scams and grifts without having to ask further questions. Web3 as a term is ruined already.

For this to work it must be a different term than Web3. Maybe “Web 3.0” is different enough?

Ironically, the text on this meme is so small that I had to zoom in on it on my vertical phone to be able to read it

There are a lot of valid reasons not to do a screw in plug, but hoses solved this problem decades ago. The tip turns, the cord doesn’t

It’s plainly obvious in this screenshot that you’re just searching for the text “user”.

I see the blank lines being included is odd, is that it? Why are the other lines being underlined?

Without normalizing for the number of these vehicles on the road this data is not meaningful. No matter how much I appreciate the depiction of cars as murder machines.

There were zero children killed by Titan submarines in the last twenty years, we should clearly take inspiration from this beacon of safety!

“Final”

What, again?

I always feel like I’m in the minority when it comes to action sequences. They are 80% of the time the most boring part of a movie. Plot and character development don’t happen during them, and usually (especially for the big climactic fight scene) the outcome is certain.

For me, the only exceptions are generally:

Fights that the heroes might actually lose. (So usually, the fights earlier in the show)

Fights where there are good character moments or development during it. (The Princess Bride sword fight scene is a classic for this)

Fights with lots of good strategy/tactics in them. (Game of Thrones had a lot of this, at least prior to the last season)

There are a very few fight scenes I’ll actually enjoy outside of these ones, and it feels like many action movies don’t bother with any of this.

Threads v Twitter IS the cage fight

That feels like self-selection bias to me. The most vocal people with opinions leaning the other direction, have already left the platform.

Autocorrect is the cause of many of my typos

What server?

Not to mention outdated.
