that's why cows fart so much - cows are made of air

Bad console ports on PC where mouse control code was recycled from gamepad control code. For example, in Just Cause 2, the maximum turn rate is capped and so is the minimum cursor acceleration, with the end result being when you move the mouse your character moves like you've mushed a gamepad control stick instead of the fast, smooth, PC cursor style movement of the reticle that every other PC FPS manages to pull off.

And timed, text heavy games on mobile generally.

Squinting at you, Hearthstone.

what, you don't like the flavor Blue?

I've never seen one. We've got on-demand water heaters that feed entire homes, but the electric versions are notorious for breaking a lot. The trend is toward heat pump hot water storage tanks that cool the air around them and put that heat into the water tank.

Hasn't Dr. Who canonically killed literally everything?

They've reset the timeline of the entire universe, destroying the previous timeline and everyone in it.

The Doctor committed omnicide to win the war against the Daleks.

Best I can do is a crash landing on Venus.

Maybe we could set them on top of some kind of manhole cover...

If you don't mind waiting a few thousand years, you can cut the delta-v requirements in half by traveling to the edge of the solar system first and then burning retrograde at aphelion.

Or do like the Parker Solar Probe did and catch multiple gravity assists off Venus.

Aesop Rock made a documentary about another hip hopper:

If someone starts licking my feet, I don't think its my blood that's about to get drained, lol.

I left for the opposite reason. Reddit does not have enough moderation, and they gave me a temp ban for reporting someone advocating political violence.

Huh. Apparently the Epsteins have reason to believe that Steve Bannon:

1. knew about President Fucking Moron literally sucking Bill Clinton's dick
2. knows what kompromat Russia has generally

Makes sense in context. Some of their two lane roads are narrower than a single lane in other places. Dealing with oncoming traffic is a game of chicken where someone will be going off road.

How many students are receiving scholarships and apprentice positions on Ford's dime?

Sounds like that corporate person needs to take some personal responsibility and start training people personally.

Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene;
I’m begging of you please don’t take my man.
Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene;
Please don’t take him just because you can.

Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green

For years our town’s been terrorized
By the beast who takes disguise
In the shell that calls itself Jolene

Our sleep disturbed by quaking breath
Eyes closed against the threat of death
That lies behind the teeth of that Jolene

The closer that you get to her
The more those edges seem to blur
To something that cannot be called Jolene

Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene;
I’m begging of you please don’t take my man.
Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene;
Please don’t take him just because you can.

He screams about you in his sleep,
And when he wakes does naught but weep,
In terror of the one they call, Jolene.

We cower here beneath your gaze,
That sets the earth and sky ablaze,
Have mercy at the end of days, Jolene.

Before her wrath no foe could stand,
Their corpses piled upon the sand,
The blood of gods are on her hands; Jolene.

Her hunger barely satisfied,
She feasted on the ones who died,
She slumbers now in starless skies; Jolene.

Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene;
I’m begging of you, please don’t disturb her sleep.
Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene;
We’re safe while she still slumbers in the deep.

Your teeth are sharp, your mouth agape
Your claws rend flesh, there’s no escape
From judgement of the Eldritch One, Jolene

Blackening the summer skies,
With burning wings and countless eyes,
We tremble at the thought of you, Jolene.

Bliss withered from this awful truth,
Gone is the ignorance of youth,
The unrelenting mark of that Jolene.

Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene;
I’m begging of you please don’t take my man.
Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene;
Please don’t take him just because you can.

The foolish who came to defend,
Their broken minds will never mend,
They fell at the mere sight of you, Jolene.

But I’ve seen beyond that auburn hair
My eyes have met your vacant stare
And I’ve been told I’m hard to scare, Jolene

Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene;
I’m begging of you please don’t take my man
Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene;
I’ll end this story just how it began
I’ll take your teeth if you try to take my man

Dungeons and Dragons 5e is less fun than 3.5e IMO.

There was more of a sense of character progression, and ability differentiation in 3.5e.

5e achieves balance by flattening the power curve.

For example, the attack bonus for a level 20 Fighter in 5e is just 4 points higher than it was at level 1 - same as a 5e Wizard. Both get +2 at lvl 1 and +6 at lvl 20

In 3.5e, a level 20 fighter's attack bonus is 19 points higher than it was at level 1 (+1 to +20), but a wizard only gains half that much fighting prowess as they level up (+0 to +10).

All 5e characters are pretty much the same statistically & mechanically. Differentiation comes from role play, which is the least interesting part of the game for me.
