This is what 100k in cash looks like:

It’s not that tricky to fit all that in an ATM. ATMs are built to be difficult to remove and get open but with the right tools anything that can be closed can also be opened. The trick is to do that without damaging the bills inside, which I imagine the news wouldn’t report on

Dune I can give a pass to because Frank Herbert originally wrote it as a trilogy and combined it into one book. It has pretty clear chunks breaking it up. They absolutely should have been better about advertising what it was, but it’s hard to cover all that content succinctly

Wicked however is based off a 2 hour and 45 minute Broadway show with a 15 minute intermission. There is no good reason that a movie that can have tighter transistons, faster costume changes, and no reused cast should be longer than the Broadway show. Let alone twice as long and spread over multiple films

In four years, you don’t have to vote again. We’ll have it fixed so good, you’re not going to have to vote.

It’s cute that the Democrats think they’re going to be allowed to run in 2028 or that there will be an election at all

You couldn’t make You’ve Got Mail today. Dating someone over email without sending pictures would be so weird that it would detract from the whole story

Both male and female mosquitos now drink blood and they spit some of the last person’s blood in you when they drink, causing them to spread blood borne diseases

I think this is a great horror year because I loved The Substance but I was blown away by Late Night With the Devil. Plus we also had Longlegs and Alien: Romulus. I just thought Late Night had great pacing, really interesting characters, and it got my entire theater to scream out loud at the end. David Dastmalchian just knocks it out of the park. Lots of great stuff this year

With zero sarcasm: thank you for taking the time to write that explanation out.

However, this is kind of exactly what I’m talking about. You’re saying I can use plex, or jellyfin, or kodi, with all the opperating systems (but not?) and you say I can stream to smart TVs, are Chromecasts smart? I can follow instructions, I just don’t understand how this technology stack works together. Nobody even tells me what Linux distro to use!

I’m fed up with streaming platforms and want to turn an old PC into a pirate movie streaming server. It’d be nice to have a detailed guide on what services to use, how to get it to stream to devices, and how to set up a VPN. I assume a Linux distro makes the most sense but I have no platform alleigence. I’m generally pretty competent with computers but I’d like the guide to assume I know nothing about Linux, because I my only experience is with my steam deck

I have seen a few legal theorists saying there’s a possibility that’s illegal too. And if I had to gamble on who’s more likely to get fucked over between Elon and a regular person? I’d probably be willing to bet all of Elon’s money on the regular person getting shafted

And yet nobody wants a sushi glory hole

Do you think the ticking feels like a heartbeat to it?

Generally speaking in America it’s very difficult to obtain custody of a corpse after the authorities have it in their possession. While there are many types of funeral options viking burials are not one. Regular fire does not burn hot enough to fully burn a human body, which is why cremation uses special equipment. Generally nobody wants partially burnt corpses in their river, so you’re either going to be illegally polluting or going to international waters. Generally you’ll need to convince some combination of funeral director, medical examiner, coroner, hospital director, and the police to give you custody of the body. It seems unbelievable to me that you’ll be able to convince all those people to give you a body for a viking funeral

On to illegal ways you could accomplish this: not reporting a dead body is not only a crime but also makes you incredibly suspicious for fraud at a minimum and murder at the max. Not acquiring a death certificate will make dealing with any estate very difficult. Stealing the body from wherever it is located will likely get you charges for defacing a dead body. You could bribe some people to look the other way but if that fails that’s also a crime

In short, no you can’t really do it. However, this is America, so presumably with enough money to the right people you could probably work it out. But we’re talking .01% level money and connections

That’s the entire point of ghost face. They specifically bought a cheap mass market mask because they knew everyone would be wearing them

Sure, we might have record unemployment, inflation can be low, and by most metrics the American economy is doing well. However people are feeling squeezed. They’re spending more on rent, groceries, health insurance, other necessities than they have in their entire lives. Most people don’t have the vocabulary to describe that economically so they use words they’ve heard. In most people’s heads inflation=things are more expensive. So they complain about inflation even if that’s inaccurate

Some retro suggestions:

• Super Mario Galaxy 1/2 - it sounds like your cousin is probably too old for this but this has one of the best “younger sibling” modes. They help collect and shoot bits. Which ultimately doesn’t matter much
• The Legend of Zelda 4 Swords Adventure - It’s basically multi-player Link to the Past! Bonus points if you dig up a GameCube, link cables, and GBAs
• Kirby Super Star - a mix of competitive and coop games
• Super Mario World (any) - you take turns but if you don’t go 6 levels without dying to his one it can be fun
• Halo 1-3 + ODST - Great classic shooters, the campaigns are customizable for difficulty, and a little kid probably loves alien shooters
• Borderlands 1/2 - Looter shooters with a sense of irreverance
• Dead Rising 2/Off the Record and 3 - Zombie hoard murdering with combo weapons
• The Simpsons '91, Battletoads, TMNT, Streets of Rage, etc - Beat Em Ups are great for multi-player

One thing to consider is that delivery and takeout are significantly more popular than they were 4 years ago. Some of these chains either anticipate or encourage you to heat your cookies just before you eat them and halfway cooking them gives the best results. A place just down the road from me encourages 1 minute on high in the air fryer or 3 in a toaster oven before eating

I did. I voted in the primary for a normal-ass guy and then voted for him again in the house. The Shapiros party gerrymandered him out of his office. Sorry you guys keep voting for lunatics, but you reap what you sow

I’d be interested to see what polls say about NC with the Robinson stuff by next week

I love that he’s going with the Shaggy defense. CNN had more receipts than an accountant in April
