Nah that’s just a calico and a dilute calico. They’re both very cute. Possibly mother and daughter?

OLED displays are capable of showing more vivid blacks, but otherwise you can get damn good pictures out of IPS displays, and honestly I find that if I’m worried about the technical aspects of the picture or display or video signal, than the game or movie I’m watching must be quite mediocre because there were plenty of shows and movies that completely captured me on a 480i CRT.

I first saw Wrath of Kahn on VHS. It wasn’t color depth or vertical resolution that made “Of my friend I can only say this: Of all the souls I’ve encountered in my travels, his was the mO’St…human.” such a compelling experience.

If your show, movie, sext message, .swf or whatever doesn’t work in 480i60 and 2.0 stereo, I don’t want to see it because there’s no substance, only spectacle.

In an airplane with an open cockpit and a fairly spicy power plant, I took off at dusk and watched the sun rise in the West as I out-climbed the planet’s rotation. You think you can wow me with visual spectacle, whelp? That doesn’t work on me, you’ll have to use an art vastly more powerful but I fear lost to time: Good writing.

I associate this commercial with another commercial for either IcyHot or Blue Star ointment.

I’m a little drunk, let that be explanation/excuse here:

When I was very young, like 3 or 4, in the early 90’s, I remember seeing commecials for what I now understand are fake fingernails. It was a commercial that showed a woman grabbing her–to a 4 year old–normal woman’s long fingernail, and casually prying it back so that it popped off and hinged back with a sticky yellow goo under it. What the commercial was selling was an acrylic nail that attached to your real nail without messy adhesives, what 4 year old me saw was a woman casually tearing her body apart. To this day I chew my nails to the quick so nothing can get under them, and I’m damn near 40.

This gave me the same “why the FUCK did you pull on it like that?” feeling as that commercial.

The first 3D game I ever played looked like this:

It’s hilarious to me how many people are shitting their beds over the Slate pickup coming with crank windows.

Yeah, they’re very salty.

So Sony isn’t fucked then.

Women deserve it.

Which one was it, Bumble I think? With the gimmick of requiring women to make the first move? The one that categorically failed because women categorically will not make the first move?

You flooded your bed, now drown in it.

That feature debuted on the iPhone 6 IIRC.

Zeus managed to knock up his own forehead if I understand correctly.

Okay so an earlier version of this script…you can tell what it is, it’s a firstname, prefix, suffix generator. As an in-joke to the show I programmed in “Bob” “Johnson” and “Oh Wait” as the zeroth entry in the lists. It would occasionally pick up the parts in normal entries though, so my favorite one it printed was Slam Johnsonmeat which…please don’t.

I wrote this thing at least ten years ago and I’ve been laughing at it ever since.

And they’re tuned to the same key.

I’m a Tarheel, Cheerwine is near and dear to me. I don’t live far from the bottling plant. Used to be, you wouldn’t see it far outside the Carolinas, now it’s shipped internationally.

Like how many Dr. Pepper knockoffs there are with and without college educations, like Dr. Thunder and Mr. Pibb?

That’s basically a McGriddle.

Camacho saw his people had problems, he searched for the smartest man in the world, found him, and empowered him to make real change.

That’s not something politicians do, for that you need an idiot.

Feet for altitude, nautical miles for distance traveled, knots for speed, statute miles for visibility, centigrade for temperature and dewpoint, pounds of weight and gallons or quarts for volume.

I’m an American, I’m comfortable working in metric and normal.

No amount of financial incentive can convince you to create something that you wholeheartedly believe will destroy you.
