Large parts of the world use 24h time regularly. Only Americans, as far as I know, really struggle with 24h time, roundabouts, and bidets as concepts.

Whatever it is, my gasoline options are 95 and 100. That’s it.

Still sounds like you’re saying my options are 91 and 93 AKI or whatever. So the US 87 Regular is lower quality.

Well, it’s also 87 octane.

Where I live it’s $6.50 a gallon, but for 95 octane, which I don’t think you can even get in the US.

things that require skill

Very much no, it’s easier to be happy when you’re older if you do the work to be happy in general. Being happy and naive to your surroundings isn’t the same as being aware of your situation and confident in yourself.

Insatiable appetite for whiskey, meat, and boobs.

Also shooting fire from his mouth, but I think he’s already got that covered.

Should have a third, normal looking carrot with “having skills and a degree.”

These results aren’t exactly orders of magnitude apart. Especially with FF being more customizable and able to limit tracking better, and thus save data and compute, slight advantages really do come out in the wash.

They show me nothing but naked hostility. The feeling is mutual.

OK, but that’s still immaterial to the point of the comic. It could have been a sign with a plate, fork, and knife like 🍽️ and been fine, too. What’s on the sign doesnt change anything.

If you really want to piss people off, treat every individual with compassion and dignity. Even (especially) if they don’t treat themselves like that.

Also, corporations are not people, my friend. So use the above to help guide your social engineering tactics.

Not unethical or illegal, but avoiding a barrier, if you have a problem that a company won’t solve using regular customer service means, spend time to find their email formula (FnameLname or FLname or FnameL @company.com) do some online searching, and then email your unhelpful CSO person and start to CC senior people in the company “to bring this error to their attention.”

If the unhelpful CSO person hasn’t messed up, then it’s no heat on them and their supervisor will just say “ugh, just get rid of this guy,” and solve your problem. I’ve used this method a dozen or so times, works well.

It’s paid by weight and thickness so fill it with trash like pieces of cardboard and sand.

The point of Jucika as a comic was that it didn’t really need language. It’s Hungarian and was widely published across eastern Europe despite not many people speaking Hungarian.

She had a coffee cup in her hand, you don’t need to know that the sign translates to “cafe.”

“Atmospheric” I mean, not any atmosphere I want to be in.

Yeah, let’s see how the heat shield performed. Are there big chunks missing from this one, too?

I’ll second NK Jamisin’s Broken Earth series. At a dinner a friend mentioned he had just finished the second book and the dinner immediately turned into talking about how amazing the series is. Highly recommend.

Three Body Problem is hard science sci-fi with amazing storytelling. The last book sort or rushes some parts, but I think that story of works for it in the context of a story of humanity rushing at dealing with possible destruction.

I didn’t see it mentioned, but the Hyperion Cantos books are more classic SciFi/fantasy but it still hit. I cried at the ending, I’m not sue I ever have before at a book.

I actually liked A Song of Ice and Fire (Game of Thrones) but, obviously, an incomplete series. Still.

Came here to recommend this.

Amazing series. Totally out of the norm scifi-fantasy that’s beautifully written. The kind of books you can’t put down and then once you hit those last 200 pages you get anxiety about what life is going too bed like without this story on it anymore.

Intentionally confusing.

This had been planned and pushed back something like 3 or 5 years, so it’s no surprise, and doesnt affect that many Americans. Without confusing you to think you’ll be fingerprinted to go to the store, it’s not getting a lot of clicks.

Why not cow-shaped universe?

Asking for a friend.

No, that was to bake a pie. He didn’t say universe before cow.

Therefore, cow is infinite.
