“Ohh yeah baby, collapse my wave function…”

An oversharer.

The Katamari remasters are very well done as these things go. Just the right amount of graphical and compatibility boosting while not screwing with the gameplay, audiovisuals, or quirky vibes which made the originals so great.

If it’s being judged by people when you order food that you’re worried about, how does using a different name affect that at all? You’re still there ordering the same food.

The main thing is, nobody who sells or delivers food for a living actually gives a serious shit what you order. Just tip well.

It depends entirely on the payment processor. Some will fail if the name and/or address doesn’t match what’s on file for the card.

I’ve spent a long phone call at a day job with a payment failing until the person remembered that their card was held by their birth name rather than their married name, and the payment went through once that was corrected.

Picture Lemmy, where anyone can create and subscribe to communities about whatever, only without the multimedia or link posts. Everything, at least in the beginning, was strictly text-based posts and threaded replies.

(Ways to attach binary files such as images were hacked in by converting the binary data to text. That’s still how email attaches files today, though it’s all behind the scenes and not obvious to average users anymore.)

The company’s stance is fully against using it on arthritic joints.

WD-40 Company does not recommend the use of WD-40 Multi-Use Product for medical purposes, and knows no reason why WD-40 Multi-Use Product would be effective for arthritis pain relief. WD-40 Multi-Use Product contains petroleum distillates and should be handled with the same precautions for any product containing this type of material.

People who swear by getting pain relief from spraying and/or rubbing on WD-40 are actually getting that relief from the cooling effect and/or rubbing, and it’s nothing to do with the chemicals in the spray.

Poe’s law: any sufficiently advanced satire is indistinguishable from sincerity.

A certain little moustache was generally popular and harmless before Hitler came along, but after the war it forever became the Hitler moustache and shaving one’s face in that style nowadays invites the comparison whether or not one means it that way.

Yellow Submarine (1968)

The plot is a very thin, dreamy excuse for a bunch of interconnected psychedelic cartoon music videos full of pretty colors and mostly slow-moving goofball artwork. If you absolutely hate the Beatles’ music it’s probably not for you, but if your feelings about them are anywhere on the scale from “neutral” to “okay” or above you might like it. I personally don’t really have strong feelings about the Beatles’ music for the most part, but this is still somehow one of my favorite movies to zone out with.

Night of the Living Dead (1968)

A great zombie flick, the one that started the whole thing, but also really slow and relatively simple in plot by today’s standards. Beautiful to watch if you have the taste for horror, and still works if you’re not into the ultraviolent bloody gory end of the genre.

Silent Running (1972)

Ambitious, pretty, and very melancholy scifi with ecological overtones. Most people still thought of scifi film as strictly kids’ stuff at this time, this movie was one of the earlier attempts to challenge that.

The Room (2003)

It’s legendarily bad, but also really fits the slow-paced and minimal plot requirement. If you’re the type to have fun with shitty movies, check it out.

The Showa era Godzilla films (1954-1975)

Godzilla’s Showa era encompasses basically the original run, and while the plots varied from meager to surprisingly good the monster fights quickly became what it was all about. That era was all a lot more slowly-paced and less frenetic than any more modern takes on the character or the kaiju genre. If you want to chill and zone out pick a random one and let it run in its entirety, or for a quicker fix you can always do what I did as a kid (and sometimes still do) and just skip any scene with only humans and enjoy the monster fights.

This does not apply so much in the Whole Foods/Prime example; the store, the membership, and the credit card are all Amazon products. The consumer is paying Amazon for the privilege of paying Amazon to pay Amazon.

Colonel who?

That’s okay, chances are half the different distros people were talking up were Ubuntu.

Here’s a bunch of equivalent things for desktop OSes.

It’s the latest in a long red line of red lines.

I had to look up what “octopus” means in terms of diving equipment to alleviate myself of a mental image of each of you diving with a little sea creature friend snuggled up on you, which for some reason you’d grab if distressed.

It’d never wark out between us.

I have been chuckling like a dork at this particular patent since such things first became searchable online, and have never found any evidence of it being manufactured and marketed at all.

The “non-adhesive adherence” is illustrated in the diagrams on the patent which you can see at the link. The inventor proposes “a facing of fluffy fibrous material” to provide the filtration and the adherence; basically this thing is the softer side of a velcro strip, bent in half with the fluff facing outward so it sticks to the inside of your buttcrack to hold itself in place in front of your anus and filter your farts through it.
