You sound like ElectroBOOM.

“Feasible” is possibly a possible option.

As a kid, I learned the word “verdant” by reading a Spider-Man novel in which Peter realized an organization was nefarious by recognizing the root “verde” in the name.

I think that, in the story, the organization was trying to reproduce The Hulk. Hence, green.

Back when bash.org was a thing (I’m aware it has since been archived in multiple places), there was a quote that went something like “you only have a name because your mother was suspicious it took nine months to take a shit.”

I used to work in a call center with a very long spiel for answering the phone. I never used it when someone called me, but one time I had a dream that my phone was ringing at work. I woke up (sort of), picked up my cell phone, and recited the script … Only to finally open my eyes and see I was talking to no one but my befuddled dog.

I’m not sure which these were, but either way, I found their presence offensive. Thanks for the information though!

The Home Depot nearest to where I used to live had cameras in the tools section … Which is fine, but whenever they noticed a person in view, they would turn on the attached screens and play a tone every ten seconds or so. I guess it was to remind you that you were being surveilled?

Anyway, I always found them intrusive, annoying and offensive. I’m not surprised they’ve become part of a larger problem.

This is impressive, but I would 100% kick that panel on the floor every time I walked by.

When I first moved into my current house, my then three-year-old said that there’s “a little boy who talks to me who Mommy and Daddy can’t see or hear” in the house.

They didn’t bring him up again after that, but ever since I’ve been alert for … Not seeing or hearing anything, I guess.

I remember Camel Nutsack in Everquest.

That’s fair, I feel like I could support the project either way.

Huh, I had no memory of him being in The Martian. To me he’ll always be Troy. With a backup of Childish Gambino because I showed this clip to a friend:

And the friend said he resembled the musician, which is how I found out that actor also has a rap career.

Anyway, thanks for bringing this to my attention!

Depressing endings are so rare in movies that I, personally, often enjoy them for the novelty if nothing else.

I don’t remember much of that movie, but an Aliens / Evil Dead crossover sounds like a lot of fun.

It’s not.

And the owner of Epic, which owns Fortnite, is rabidly anti Linux. I believe he’s made some concessions to lose less of the Deck market share, but he’s made many insulting and untrue statements of Linux and its users in the past as well as actively sabotaging Linux functionality in games that used to have it.

Well, certainly that was more information than I knew about it, thanks!

No, but I’m friends with them.

Apparently AQ-50 is an autism test. Now I feel called out.

I thought this post was about the numbers and … Well, I like 16. It’s got a few neat math things going on. 19 is a prime, but doesn’t have much else going on for it.

edit: I was thinking that 16x3 was 38 and that 19x2 was 38, which would be interesting. However, 16x3 is 48, which I love, while 19x2 is indeed 38, which is still pretty cool. On the other hand, 64 is fun, while 57 is super duper boring.

Maybe my wife is right when she says I’m neurodivergent.

edit: This is pleasing to me.

That first line is reminiscent of Snowcrash.
