I didn’t say they don’t, I said it’s difficult for people who don’t know how. You have to spend time on education when you go vegan.

It’s about as dangerous as using IE in the old days, or Edge in administrator mode.

I appreciated it when it came out. I loved the plausibility of such a future, and the condemnation of it by the movie. I recommended it to everyone who would listen.

That’s a cell phone!

I have tried to out-crazy them, but crazy has gone beyond my ability in the last few years.

I haven’t opened any Christmas presents yet. We’re having a late Christmas due to crazy schedules for everyone involved.

Nah, he threw it on the ground. DUH!

Oh, possibly.

You can pick. I haven’t seen a single modern system without a sound mode option.

I don’t get it. This is the second one in quick succession that I don’t understand.

Exposed for what? Is it a blackface thing? I guess I don’t get it.

Have you never enjoyed a movie at the movie theater? They use top-tier surround sound systems and it’s amazing! You can recreate a lot of that at home with a 5.1 surround sound system. The more channels you add, the more immersive the experience. Like in the beginning of Saving Private Ryan, the sounds are coming from all around. You can feel the bass from the boats churning below you, hear the bullets go whizzing past you and hit the boats & people behind you, hear the guns firing in front of you and people screaming to advance. It completely changes the viewing experience. Idk why you wouldn’t want that if you’re into movies. But you can’t really re-create that with a sound bar. Sure, it’s usually better than the TV speakers, but it’s not true surround sound.

I always thought it was BS in movies when they pick a door lock in a few seconds, but nope! That’s completely realistic. The rake was even faster than my key on some attempts.

I don’t want to change anyone’s mind anymore. I’m so tired of trying. I just want them to STFU and believe their wacko shit in private like the good old days.

Okay

I have a dozen different hobbies, but I was really into flashlights for a while too. I was into them enough that my wife asked me to stop buying more flashlights and lanterns. I didn’t stop though! I only stopped when I finally decided I had scratched that itch, have obtained what I want, and was bored. But now I have great flashlights in both of our cars, in my mom’s car, one at each exterior door of the house, one at the garage door, and a few lanterns in the closet. She very much appreciates the fruits of my labors now that I’m finished.

Most apartments use Kwikset locks, which are cheap and ineffective. Picking one of those was easier than picking the practice lock from my kit. I could get my front door open in 30 seconds flat with a single pin pick, or like 2 seconds with a city rake.

I don’t think you need the “what if” parts

Why do they have forks for noses?

Get hammered, play Baldur’s Gate 3, pass out at 3am.
