Sketchers as a daily shoe lasts me about 4 months. I like the fit and comfort, but their durability is terrible. Sometimes it’s the outer parts just coming unglued, many times it’s the padding inside wearing through despite my thick socks.

In this economy they were probably just being contrarian to get another free meal and some more pocket change.

Dammit I was thinking of Iwata and didn’t check my tired thoughts and just dropped the most famous Nintendo name my brain came up with. Apologies.

When Miamoto Iwata died, Nintendo just had to stay the course. They were never dominant, but they were ubiquitous and everyone enjoyed their products. Now the new guys don’t even play games, and the switch 2 price point is ridiculous, and they never fixed the issue with the joy con sticks, and prices never drop like they used to. You can’t count on new leadership being capable of continuing success, even when all they have to do is keep things on the exact same course.

After getting on a CPAP for sleep apnea I sleep like a rock. Get a sleep study, there might be a reason you don’t get continuous sleep.

Funny, I have the opposite complaint about Fallout 4. In what is supposed to be a nuclear wasteland of a city where everyone is struggling to keep their small communities going, there are just too many people in such a small space to make this feel real. I liked Fallout 3 and New Vegas more because the world was properly empty, but still had so many things to discover.

In programming you declare variables. To keep it simple let’s say there are only 2 types, numbers and words.

Now 1 is obviously a number, and ‘word’ is obviously a word. If I ask you to divide 100 by ‘word’ you’d have to tell me that’s not possible.

Now what if a say divide 100 by the “word” ‘10’? Well I’m a strongly typed programming language, you’d have to tell me “well, because you defined it with the single quotes, that’s actually a word so you can’t do math on it.” In a loosely typed language you’d be like “yeah I get that ‘10’ meant the number 10 so I’ll do the math.

This creates amusing weirdness in loosely typed languages, especially when they use math operators to represent word actions. For instance JavaScript is infamously loosely typed and uses the + sign to join words together so if I say ‘Java’ + ‘Script’, I get back ‘JavaScript’. So all the following are true in JavaScript:

1+1=2 1-1=0 ‘1’+1=11 because the ‘1’ makes it think you want to join words and it converts the second number 1 to a word ‘11’-1=10 because there’s no word operation applied to the minus sign, so it converted the word ‘11’ to a number

There’s lots of other tomfoolery, but I’m trying to keep the explanation simple. But any mixing of words and numbers in a strongly typed language would just give you an error.

I’m with the top reply of this thread, you don’t need strong typing if you understand what the code does.

Starts out great but quickly goes through the SyFy cost cutting machine that turns it into trash. If you have the willpower, just watch the first season. But no one does and you’ll watch a great concept fall apart. The best part is the ideas for a better story that it’ll spark in your own head.

One thing to remember is that Batman is crazy. He doesn’t consider himself Bruce Wayne, he considers Bruce a mask he wears. He is Batman. Superman calls him Bruce to try to keep him grounded, but he’s already lost it. For Bruce to develop and have friends and a personal life, he has to first get past his need to be Batman. His psychosis keeps him from moving forward.

Spiderman totally deserves a break though. That kid puts himself through hell out of guilt. But for him to stop torturing himself he has to forgive his mistakes and guilt over Ben. He can still be Spiderman after that, so I’m all for it.

The ten vehicles were fully funded through private donations.

Those private donations could have done better, but at least it wasn’t tax dollars.

Specifically he swapped the place of the R and the M and then rotated just the M so it’s a W. Surprised I don’t see that more often with the idiots around here and their punisher stickers on their compensators.

The cyanide thing was a single person covering the murder of their spouse by contaminating a bunch of Tylenol at the same drug store. And that happened decades ago. It’s why there are so many “tamper evident” seals now.

Unless this actually happened recently and I just never heard about it.

My wife’s a meal planner, I’m more of a ‘whatever’s in the house’ type of cook. Just throw random shit together if it even sounds close to good. So I’d probably just do lots of stir-fries of all the random ingredients for planned meals that didn’t happen but still live in our freezer.

She’d return to what appears to be freezer that I cleaned out, and I will have put next to no thought into cooking.

Gauntlet in the arcade was the worst. Not only did enemies reduce your health, so did time. You were effectively bleeding out and propping yourself up with quarters.

As written the bureaucrat would be useful in preventing stalemate, which isn’t accurate since bureaucrats cause stalemates.

When presented with this article they’ll also pass out off as “politicians lie” like his list isn’t miles longer than others.

Nah, she’s exactly what we can expect from Dems. She’s not progressive, but other than the ID thing, she’s got a pretty good track record. Even that was a lost cause but I would have rather her not roll over. Anyway, she’s not perfect but a hell of a lot better than where we’re be if Lake won.

My brother was murdered for stealing cash and drugs from a drug dealer. It was in the 2010’s and totaled about $1000. So maybe a little more than this even factoring for inflation. The killer got off due to some complications with the PA and two very partial juror. 11/12 guilty votes in 2 trials, and both times one guy who refused to vote guilty based on the race of the killer and the race of my brother.

I put this out there because this case hits very close to home. No one in my family ever even hoped for the death penalty. There is no reason to eye-for-an-eye here. Even if cruelty is the point, it’s crueler to make them miss the rest of their potential life. For me, there is always the possibility it’s the wrong guy, and if so, they should have no limit on how long they spend trying to prove their innocence.

There is no place for the death penalty in today’s world.

Death doesn’t even notice Thanos exists, but finds Deadpool amusing. Thanos is watching his crush go on dates with the class clown.

Lady Death is an anthropomorphism of death. The marvel comics version of the grim reaper. Not a hero, just a thing that exists.
