It is in the context of Covid 19 and the people who think it's all a scam. We can joke about insulin prices being a scam, but people don't think diabetes was created in a lab, even though engineers did create all the high sugar, high salt foods.

It sounded like a joke about Big Pharma overcharging for the vaccine as a conspiracy.

There's a difference between historically accurate and implying that the historically accurate morals were correct. I liked the movie as popcorn entertainment, but some of the subtext didn't sit right with me. So much so, I never felt the need to rewatch it or watch the squeal. Finding out that Snyder has been wanting to make a Atlas Shrugged movie doesn't surprise me.

I thought it was weird that the "Heroes" threw deformed babies off a cliff and then when one of the deformed babies who survived, took the opportunity to betray the Spartans. What did Miller and Snyder mean by that?

That's all. His chuds look for validation by finding a big streamer to regurgitate their views. Doesn't matter that his only life experience is rotting in front of WoW. Doesn't matter that he used the sunlight hitting a dead rat as an alarm clock. Doesn't matter that his teeth bleed.

To be fair, the cancelled movie would have been with Will Smith. I'm ok being without a Will Smith Superman movie. Steel did get his own movie, but without any Superman IP in it.

I don't think Christopher Nolan was embarrassed by Batman and he only made a standalone trilogy. If he was embarrassed by Batman, he wouldn't have included an homage to Adam West Batman.

Singer and Synder are just edgelords. You can find them at any comic book store arguing about something stupid, but tolerated longer then they should be because they spend the most money.

They are definitely statements of wealth. Just because it's investment doesn't mean it's also a statement of wealth. Try growing vegetables in your front lawn or hanging cloths to dry. These are things poor people do.

You just wrote an essay to argue semantics. Why? Maybe "refugee" would be more accurate, but the two are synonymous in the current political discussion. You're creating a conflict here for no reason other than your own enjoyment from arguing. If that's what you want to do, go to twitter.

Maybe mind your own business?

That was also in the Bruce Timm animated series. The first crossover with Joker teaming up with Lex where he stole a "Jade" dragon statue that supposedly killed it's owners with a curse was actually made of Kryptonite and later in Justice League Unlimited had Lex diagnosed with cancer I think. Kryptonite has always been hazardous to humans.

 

I messaged the seller asking for the exact name of the connector, but they just reiterated the listing title. I need a two Metri Pack-150 connectors, but I can't find prewired ones and I'd rather not buy a 200USD kit.

 

New Ask A Ninja. New Home Star Runner. *glances at politics

Feeling like it's the 2000's all of a sudden.

Released in January 5, 1999. I remember owning this software and flawless running PS1 games on my Blueberry iBook with a USB controller. Still wild that a company had the balls to release this thing and actually won the case that Sony brought against them, causing Sony to simply buy the company to discontinue the software.

Bonus: Steve Jobs advertising the software at MacWorld.

Bonus 2: Modern Vintage Gamer breakdown of the software.

I don't know of a niche com that this would be better in. If someone knows a modern FOSS equivalent, I'd like to know. Honestly, I should try to get a copy running in WINE just for nostalgia.

 

It's not available anymore and even if it was, I don't really want to buy one from him. And I need about 15 anyway for the youth group activity. It's far more cost effective to order direct from pcb fab shop.

 

Community college ostensibly for people who don't have a good track record from High School, but is often advertised as the cheap, local option for people who don't want to feel bad about having to go.

I did in fact try community college and it's really just high school material with smaller text. I even took it in parallel with an edX equivalent and the material wasn't even close to each other. The idea that CC is suppose to replace the first 2 years at a real college is terrifying and reinforces how much of the professional word is theater.

If you do any number of years at a community college, you should be able to apply as a freshman to a real college if you want.

 

I had a customer come into my garden center today and ask for "those mini sweet peppers. you know, the ones grocery stores sell". I have no idea what those peppers are. I suggested a sweet pimento, but they wanted the grocery store was selling.

I linked to what I think the person was talking about.

 

Hello,

I'm creating a BoM for a youth group project. We're planning on building the Electromagnetic Ring Accelerator from Hyperspace Pirate. He's provided the 3d print files, but not the finer details on wire gauge, enamel wire gauge and ball size. I also want to confirm the photoresistor. Are there different photoresistors with with different sensitivities or ranges?

I've included the wip of the BoM.

 

I'm in a catch 22 situation. I want to go to a four year college, but I was previously placed in the remedial track and have a poor academic standing. If I go to a community college, I could improve my grades, but the material they cover is a replacement for high school classes and I'd be precluded from signing up for entry classes at the four year college. This seems like to would put me at a disadvantage when that finally happened and I would only be setting myself up for long term failure.

I'd consider CC if I could "transfer" in as a freshman to a four year, but the colleges I looked into all have rules against applying as a freshman if you have two years worth of credits. When I tried CC, the material was absolutely high school level just with smaller font in the textbooks.
