My favorite fps achievement took place in Halo on the Xbox. We did the thing to play online and during an online ctf match I was on point with the sniper rifle. The match was tied up for flag captures and we were in a stalemate for a bit. The other team managed to get our flag and were running it back. As I’m in my sniper spot trying to line up the shot they all jumped at nearly the same time right into my sights. I take the shot and head shot every one of them… Except for the flag carrier because they apparently jumped just a tiny bit ahead of the others and dropped just enough to go under the bullet.

The entire lobby was going nuts over that last sniper shot. Even though we lost it was the talk of the match. The loss sucked but that shot was amazing. I quit playing for the day after that… No way was I going to top it so I left on a high.

I’ve found with my kids “I don’t really know, how about we look it up together” is very effective.

I had one years ago… It never made a sound. It just recorded how I drove and I started getting safe driver discounts on my insurance.

The amount of men that refuse to properly clean their own ass is terrifying and disgusting.

Which is overkill when you can get the same result by just drilling a hole into the drive.

Cheers for the explanation. It’s come up a few times in things I’ve watched and read but I never really got a clear explanation. Just some mention about legal technicalities… And it kind of got glossed over from there.

IIRC, both Canada and Australia are still tied to the British monarchy through some technicalities in their independence.

In fairness… Most of the “behind the scenes” are done in metric so we kind of did convert to metric. It’s mostly just the public that is imperial still.

I’m not sure why you got downvotes… You’re correct. Some of the pills do absolutely affect arousal and libido.

He only spiral blurred his face… So they just did it in the opposite direction. It was beyond stupid

The ones that freak out over an acorn are cheaper and easier to brainwash.

This is why they changed their API policy the way they did. They wanted to sell it rather than let bots scrape it for free.

IIRC, this is a big deal because they are achieving more energy out than they put in.

If I’ve been reading these correctly they are achieving it with tiny amounts of fuel and slowly working up as they achieve success. I’m seeing these as proof of concept and fantastic steps in the right direction.

I know a lot of places in GA where I can get a pack of lucky strikes for about $4…camels come out to just under $6.

Except they still believe that one… They even know what color it is.

It’s blue, apparently, and you can protect your home from it by painting your roof blue… Doesn’t matter what shade of blue, just so long as it is blue.

True to form… Someone began advertising their blue paint as protection from the laser.

Yeah, it’s just nonfood things. The main one that it manifests as is clay.

Pregnant woman are supposed to report cravings like that to their doctor… Apparently it can be a symptom of a serious problem.

Once had the flu with a fever of 106-107(almost 42c)…I was taken to the hospital and the doctor literally threw me into an ice bath… I was crying and he said “I’m sorry but you will be dead soon unless we drop that fever”

I had to continue taking ice baths at home because the fever kept creeping back up to that range. They’re not fun…

I have literally told them things I would be happy with… I’ve been very specific about some things too. For example, I tend to be hard on jeans so anytime gift giving comes up I will tell people that I will be happy with new jeans and specify my size.

I know I tend towards nonmaterialistic and people seem to hate buying practical gifts but that’s honestly what I would prefer. I have also said on multiple occasions that if they really can’t find anything, I will be extremely happy with a simple bottle of vodka or anything penguin related… Yet somehow I never get useless penguin trinkets.

I always get some useless trinket and the line “you’re just so hard to shop for”
