What are they going to do, arrest the raccoon?

Wild blackberries are so good. I'm a little jealous.

At any given time T, the coordinates form a right triangle with legs of length 5T and T. Therefore the distance D is given by D^2 = (5T)^2 + T^2 = 26T^2. This simplifies to D = T * sqrt(26). Therefore the rate of separation is sqrt(26) ft/sec regardless of time

Maybe Magneto was onto something...

I understood some of those words.

There's an episode of TNG that tries to explain the inter-species breeding thing. Turns out, ancient aliens spread their DNA across the galaxy, and that's why every alien looks like a human with prosthetics added to their ears, nose, forehead, etc.

I just wish more games would tell you, "Your last save was X seconds ago."

I love it because it tells me what I need to know and it's relatively simple to program (i.e., note current time any time you save or load).

This is a bizarre claim. It appears to be based on a video in which a durian is briefly exposed to a 3300 degree torch. Anything more than that would obviously reduce the whole fruit to char.

Insurance never covers damages from war, because that's a good way to bankrupt the insurance company. Even they don't have infinite money.

I was skeptical, but the source checks out.

I have a very similar setup (Vive + 4070) working under Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. The only special workaround was to install Steam natively, downloading directly from Valve instead of using the Snap provided by Canonical. Aside from that, everything worked immediately right out of the box.
