I swear, overcoming fixed functional-ness is like a superpower when you can apply it.

I once shared a small office with a co-worker. I had the idea to move the desks away from the walls and place them back-to-back, diagonally, in the middle of the room. Other co-workers scoffed and remarked at how dumb and unconventional this looked. Then I explained that we each now had nearly full privacy from each other, much more personal space in our respective corners, no more glare from the window, and nobody could sneak up on us from the door anymore. Things got pretty quiet after that.

Useful? Not exactly. But you'd never look lazy or idle, that's for sure.

Pascal went to military school.

I'm not in love with the idea, but a language that cuts out the BS has a sudden appeal when on a group/team project.

I take this as less of a "I can't use this intuitive feature reliably" thing and more of a "the truth table will bite you in the ass when you least expect it and/or make a mistake" thing.

I think the punchline goes multiple ways at once: "the protesters were stupid thinking this would help", "the protesters were stupid in how they tried to protest", and "everyone back then was stupid because it's Waterworld now."

That depends.

39 and under crowd - "Wanna go again?"

40 and over crowd - "I'm going to need at least that many breaks."

Yes

I'm dead. How is anyone this bad at delivering crucial information?

Oh, everything's fine now, ...

I wish. Nope, nothing like my family.

... but two weeks ago she was murdered.

Nevermind, this checks out.

It also doesn't hurt that Anjelica is always illuminated like she's from another movie altogether (credit to CinemaTherapy). The director turned the glamor factor up to 11 in every scene without breaking anything. It's impossible to follow that.

Raul, somehow, manages to be a complete ham yet relatable, lovable, and most importantly, believable.

Tofu chili was nasty. It’s probably a texture thing

Even Mapo Tofu still has real meat in it for the right texture. For a 100% veggie option, you gotta go extra/ultra firm. I've only ever seen it at the local Korean grocer though - "American" grocery stores don't carry stuff with the right texture. TVP might work too.

I really want to believe this was the only heated part of the power transfer.

 

Some of you may remember this absolute diamond of insanity that was the "4-Day Time Cube." This was the go-to example of the internet as a universal amplifier for communication - for both the sane and insane alilke. It was there from nearly the start of the world-wide web, back in the 1990's. Alas, it ceased to be some time ago, but it still lives on in our hearts.

For the uninitiated: welcome. Read and join the rest of us that are "educated stupid."
