It's one of the easiest high-energy reactions to prepare, contains only very stable powdered iron and aluminum (though you can add other things as buffers to slow the reaction, such as boron or carbon) and it can only be kicked off by VERY intense heat, like from burning magnesium or the burning titanium powder in a sparkler. Thermite can be shipped through the mail with no special considerations. Were you thinking of something else?

Solar Opposites did it very well when they jettisoned Justin Roiland. His character gets hit in the throat with a dart and then zapped with an uncalibrated voice repair ray. His partner thinks the new (and suddenly English-accented) voice is sexy so they don't bother changing it.

Also, new Korvo is way better the than slightly-altered Rick that Roiland was crapping out.

The funny thing is that Biden's had gaffes like this his whole career and could have laughed it off under other circumstances, but with the eyes of the entire world on him watching for him to have another senior moment this is another nail in the coffin.

I own a launch era Switch. When I run Yuzu, I use the keys that I pulled off of it. When I play games in Yuzu, they are games I have purchased and dumped using the Switch Nintendo sold me. The controller I use is a Nintendo Pro controller. I play on my computer because it is MUCH better at playing Switch games than my overclocked Switch is. Just fuck off with this Nintendo, stop making your games worse.

Everyone knows the Bulls logo is an upside-down alien giving it to a crab.

They did. Telltale Incorporated folded in 2018. In 2019 LCG Entertainment bought the Telltale name, licensed their content and said, "We are Telltale Games now. We are going to do what Telltale was doing because that's what we are: Telltale Games. But not that other Telltale that owes that money to people, that's a different company."

I feel like dealing with SD cards' inevitable demise is more important than armoring them. What good is a stainless SD card that no longer functions after 2 years of use?

Your glove caught fire because you put it in a 350 degree oven for 15 minutes, when leather will readily burn at 210 degrees. I don't know how other people are pulling it off, as googling around pulls up the same instructions you apparently followed.

I never believed them, because I feared it would catch fire.

Seems like you knew better, which must make this more frustrating. Nothing stings quite like a self-inflicted wound.

As for the Easter stuff, that's really all about your personal situation and your belief system.

Yeah, but that would require real huge steel balls and the best the dems can do is a couple dried peas.

Yo straight people are the ones having waaay more kids and they're still naming plenty of them with non-stupid names. Let's focus the hate where it belongs: people who try to create personalities for themselves by using their child as a proxy for their unfulfilled hopes and dreams.

English speaking? Pretty big. There's also vast portions of the internet that are not in English, but if you don't speak anything besides English, chances are you're not going to come across it too much.

Don't worry about the article being light on details, they'll restart the project a few times between now and release.

FYI in the West we don't call people "dog" as a negative - that's pretty much an Eastern Europe/Russia thing. We will call people "dog," but that's more like "dawg," as in "what's up dawg?" which is a friendly greeting.

Also dogs don't kneel.

Exactly. The elected officials of Oregon failed and now they are covering for their failure by undoing the will of the voters instead of enacting the will of the voters.

Because white supremacists' arguments are easily dismantled to their core components of idiocy, racism and ignorance. They can't convince anyone who isn't a moron racist and they believe that those who don't think like they do are trying to replace them so they resort to mass murder. Because they are racist morons.

Democrats are right of center. America has no major left wing party.

Be the change you want to see. I switched things up and took a job where I work to feed hungry people. It's pretty great and I feel good about myself and what I do. I'm not gonna fix the whole world, but I am making a difference for those who I reach.

It's hard to believe that it would have taken 25 years for the many SD card builders out there to figure out that a heat spreader could solve the degradation problems.

Hey everyone, make sure you aren't doxxing yourself. Comments in the Fediverse can be very hard to delete.

Billionaires are worse than everyone else. Greed on their scale is killing the planet and people.

Prior to our understanding of electricity, many believed that electricty-producing animals were injecting some sort of venom.

Very glad I don't see anyone badmouthing the later seasons of Community. S4 was meh, but S5 and 6 are top-tier. I wish Elroy and Frankie had more episodes.

Note to anyone heeding this advice: it has to be a metal water pipe, no plastic.

Asking a computer to create an image is fundamentally different from constructing a scene and photographing it. One is using a machine, skill, talent and creativity to create art. The other is having a machine generate art for you.

That's definitely true, but Sync also fixed it a while back.

What's the shortcut to remove the data-harvesting, power-sucking leech that is Copilot?

Schrodinger's fake news: it was only a mistake because he got called out.

I worked in an office tower across the street from a hotel. I was directly flashed twice and saw 4-5 couples going at it over a few years, one of which was the woman nude, pressed against the window, getting it from her friend from behind. That was a nice show.

Finding new and innovative ways to charge $300 for a USB cable.

Legislatively this is a bad deal. Two blue states become a red and a blue. Let Idaho properly compensate Oregon for the land, and let them also take over taking care of all those many miles of rural roads, civic services, emergency services and whatnot with 1/2 the tax base. I hope the folks in Eastern Oregon also understand that this means weed goes away, so the people in Ontario who have enjoyed all the Idaho cash should be prepared to switch gears. Oh, and Oregon Health Plan goes away. To my understanding, Idaho doesn't have an offering like OHP.

Hard disagree. Modern dash displays give tons of useful information that would be very hard to display legibly with dials. The flexibility they offer is good too, often having more than one dash layout. Nav screens are also extremely useful. Going anywhere and never getting lost? Get outta here.

And rear camera? Don't get me started on how a little dirt destroys your rear view until you pull over to clean it or how they represent a more difficult scenario for your eyes, increasing the amount of time you don't have your eyes on the road every time you check it. Unless you mean a back up camera and not a replacement for a rear view mirror, in which case yes those are super awesome.

Robots can be from other planets.

Did you know that if you use Teflon pans in a house with pet birds they might die from the fumes? Since we historically used canaries to detect dangerous gasses in coal mines, might we take that as an indication that Teflon pans should not be used at all?

The scratched ones are bad and should not be used. Going forward you should ditch all your nonstick pans and buy cast iron or stainless steel.

This is genius but too high effort. You may sit on this council, but we do not grant you the rank of shitost.

Wifi is not for critical services, get that thing wired.

I want a slide out keyboard like on my G1.

Keep in mind that many people restrict their news sources to those not actively hostile to objective truth.

So that rich asshole killed a bunch of developers' income streams because he checks notes is paid too much. What a greedly little pissboy the former mod of /r/jailbait is.

Most insect species can have wings, but the majority of ants and termites do not have them. The word "all" gets tricky here.

Most treadmills run on DC motors with magnets in them, so they could generate all the power you like if you pushed the treadmill and had the right controller.
