Which also further goes to show that I wouldn't know what to talk about, he'd think I was too much of a "sad sack" anyway most likely. :V

Though granted, most people I knew who had strokes didn't make it... So that might be another factor in why it's hard for me to process.
People I've known in the past who have suffered strokes often seem to become different people after, in a way. I'm also the kind of person who sees folks debilitated like that and it's heart-breaking for me, it's a difficult thing for me to process.
So more a "in spite of" on my part than his?
Like how they'll claim it's "for their safety/to protect their identity" but then there's video of that jack-ass, maskless, saying "you raise your voice, we erase your voice!" on camera while he knows he's being filmed.
Tim Curry's still cool, right?
It'd be interesting to meet him, in spite of his stroke, but I wouldn't know what to talk about. :V
More that there are parts of my display (it's a 12+ year-old refurbished 1080p 3D TV lol) that have natural light and dark areas to them.
Some challenges loaded and that's when I realized "...Wow, this thing is STILL kickin', huh?" :V
I for one didn't realize how many vertical artifacts my display has until this test. :V
Way I see it, they should limit it to 60-65. After that, congratulations, you are retired. Go paint sunsets in Santa Fe, or something.
"Alright, we need solutions to this Hormuz problem! Go!"
"Dig a new canal! :D"
"Switch to land-based logistics! :D"
"Stop throwing bombs around the area like it's parade candy. :|"
"... >:C"
"... :|"
If there was no planning and no oversight, then it means nobody was really made aware, or in charge, so therefor, nobody's to blame. :^)
He should be fired.
...In a kiln.
Nah, AI is "Artificial Ignorance".
Reminds me of how Phil Tippet was supposed to do stop-motion for the original Jurassic Park, but they kept him on after switching to CGI because he knew how large creatures should move.
Plus the time when someone called him out as "dinosaur handler". "You WEREN'T THERE, MAN!" :V
We used to have a little blue S-10, but we had to total it after the storm because the hail not only completely destroyed the windows on it, but they also managed to partially cave in the cab.
The guy their insurance sent out to inspect the property was horrified at what he saw.
I remember when I was a wee lad, we had a super-cell form basically directly over our house.
Thankfully, it was actually SO HOT that the constant updrafts disrupted any funnel clouds from forming.
Unfortunately, updrafts make hail-stones...
Soft-ball sized with some being considerably larger. :/
I prefer the Diogenese take.
"In a rich man's house, the only polite place left to spit is his face."
tfw "tongue-speakers" have all the coherency of a racial stereotype from old-ass cartoons. :/

More than a fire hazard, fine graphite dust can potentially cause electrical shorts, too.
"M'Lord, remember when you told Abe to kill Isaac?"
"lol yeah why?"
"It, uh... Looks like he's actually going to do it."
"...Say what?"
"Yes, he unquestioningly took Isaac up the mountain-"
"Ah, HAYLL naw, that guy's crazy. Man, I can't even look at the guy now, could you handle this?"
"At once."
"What? NO, no, you've got it all wrong! God didn't abuse his position of power and authority just to see if his friend would actually obey him and do something unnecessary and heinous without question!"
Though it's fun to think that the whole thing was a test, and Abe actually almost failed it.
St. Peter don't you call me, 'cause I can't goooo~!
Then from there it went to "Wow, there sure are some contradictions in this book..." to a more modern realization of just how inherently heinous many stories are, such as The Binding of Isaac.
"So lemme get this straight: God told his BFF Abe to kill Isaac, just to see if he would, but 'trust God'?"
I was probably in 6th grade when I had thought about how Heaven allegedly had "Pearly Gates", "Streets of Gold", was a "land of milk and honey", and I just thought "...Seems kinda extravagant for a 'God' that allegedly wants the rest of us to be humble..."
Reminds me of when I was doing HVAC work on a local church (biggest one in town, go figure), and I over-heard someone in another room doing the "speaking in tongues" bit.
Honestly, to me it just sounded like someone spitting out jibberish with an unplaceable accent.
I'd be tempted to do the same here in New Mexico, too, even if it's not code. On account of critters that have a penchant for chewin' on wires and what-not.
What kind of life do people lead that they can't spare 10-20 seconds to change a thermostat?
Why do people feel the need to constantly adjust their thermostats such that they feel a need to do so remotely? Just set a temperature that seems reasonable and enjoy life for a second or two! Yeesh! :V
Something that's legitimately bothered me for a while:
Why on earth do people need to have remote access to their thermostats?
Seriously, I've seen such thermostats advertised as "Oh, look! You can change the temperature while sitting down! Think of all the time saved!" And I'm just like "...Huh?"
