Lever guy should be smiling for being presented with the easiest decision of his life.

Not being able to give support to friends and family will feel really weird.

I see it as being liberated. Besides, while it'll suck to be unable to fix their problems, if it gets bad enough that they consider other operating systems, you'll be right there to help them switch!

Never heard of the greengrocer's apostrophe so I looked it up. https://www.thoughtco.com/what-is-a-greengrocers-apostrophe-1690826

I absolutely love that there's a group called the Apostrophe Protection Society. Is there something like that for the Oxford Comma? I'd gladly join them!

As I read all these classic lines (and try not to roll my eyes out of my head), I can see them scrolling up a TV screen—some in yellow text—just like those old "Greatest Hitz" CD commercials.

I nominate Steven Ogg for the task.

They live kinda far away but I'll definitely do that next time I see him!

Jesus, that ruined city looks like the backdrop of a Beksinski painting.

Thankfully the chances of that happening would be reduced by the difference between the solar system's ecliptic place vs that of the Milky Way. According to this Stack Exchange user, it's a 60.2-degree difference. Illustrated beautifully here.

Then again, it isn't called a "cloud" for nothing. Still, a large chunk of it is theorized to be aligned with the plane of the solar system.

I would also imagine other countries bordering Russia might take notice.

It would be kinda funny if Finland started moving stuff toward the border near St. Petersburg, just to troll putin / make him waste resources in kind.

I absolutely love PSO. Still play Blue Burst on Ephinea from time to time.

I want to thank my best friend for introducing it to me all those years ago on GameCube.

It's too bad PSO2 turned into what looks like your typical shitty MMO. It was really fun back in 2012-ish on the SEA servers with the fan translation patch.

I have nothing to add, and for the record I agree with your argument.

But holy fuck, is tattooed eyeliner really a thing? I've never gotten a tattoo, but that one sounds unbearably painful.

 

Let's assume we're not stopped at a traffic signal.

This is only anecdotal, but I heard once that you're not supposed to stop altogether, rather drive at a slower pace so as to let it pass quickly. The person said what was more important is that drivers don't make sudden changes to their behavior. An EMT driver can more safely maneuver if they don't have to predict what any one knucklehead will do the moment they get close.

If this is wrong or needs clarification, please enlighten me!
