Thats no officer. That officer is made of cake.

The cake that is made twice as sweet lasts only half as long on the dessert table.

Hmm, you’re making a good point and introducing two new not-yet-considered elements.

1. Wolverine is only 5’3" (160cm) tall. Was he originally taller, but had a body destroying even, that only 80% of him was able to grow back rendering him shorter than he was before.

2. Wolverine is Canadian. So neither the USA or Oz money rules apply, but instead Canadian rules. What those are, I do not now.

I think Wolverine must work on the “dollar bill replacement” method. If you have 51% of the damaged bill, you’ll get a replacement.

So if you cut Wolverine in half, only the bigger half will grow back.

“Join the army they said…!”

“It doesn’t get any better than this!”

How did PCs beat out the Amiga, Mac and ST with nonsense like that?

I think you can ultimately blame Compaq. It was the first “pc clone” that showed the market that a PC not from expensive IBM was viable. After that even if you weren’t buying a Compaq your own generic clone was “good enough”. So You could access hardware and software built for a $4000 8088 IBM PC with your $1200 clone.

Amiga never was commodity hardware. It was always expensive. It didn’t get cheap enough fast enough. Amiga 500 came too late.

Clearly didn’t clean the lint filter in the dryer. Your furball is huge!

You could accomplish what you’re trying by putting the GPU in a second computer. Further, most UPSes have a data interface, so that you could have the GPU computer plugged into the UPS too, but receive the signal when power is out, so it can save its work and shutdown quickly preserving power in the UPS batteries. The only concern there would be the max current output of the UPS in the event of a power outage being able to power both computers for a short time.

Are you sure she doesn’t, or is she gaslighting you? /s

I’m noticing a disturbing lack of punctuation recently.

With inflation raising the costs of everything, should we really be surprised that people can’t afford to waste expensive punctuation on memes?

I had to read that 5 times to figure out there as a missing period between “working” and “time”.

Its still funny though. While we’re here in this comment, let me tell you some fascinating things about the B-29 you’re standing next to. Did you know that during the war…

Cross post this to dataisbeautiful.

“how? how this PhD professor is so happy and calm and confident”.

• A person can be talented in a specific job area
• A person can enjoy working a specific job area
• There are some jobs that pay well enough to live happily on

There are people, through sheer genetic luck and general luck to be born in the right place and time in history, that they have all three.

I guess I am just a weird person

You’re not weird. I think it is rare to have all three. Even someone that has only two will likely be called “unhappy”. You are NOT to blame for not having all three. Its just luck.

Except you Active Desktop wasn’t on by default and was easily turned off in even the cheapest version of the OS.

Buns has a record of untreated kleptomania.

“Officer, I’d like to report a theft! Buns has stolen my heart!”

I think Cardassia joining the Dominion in their efforts to control the Alpha quadrant was a mistake.

I think you’re underplaying the sequel aspects. Russia was one of the antagonists in the first installment, began as an antagonist in the second, but flipped to protagonist ally in the first act. Also in the first installment the Ottoman Empire was an antagonist ally, where Turkey was neutral through all of WWII. Finally, China was an ally in WWII and huge victim of the Japanese , but underwent a revolution joining with Russia to become the primary antagonists in the third installment “Cold War”.

They called WWI “the war to end all wars”. Then humanity developed its interest in sequels.
