Most car accidents happen within a mile from home

…because that’s where you’re driving most often

I’ve heard a trendy thing now is to only label one present as from Santa, the rest are from Mom and Dad. That way kids don’t find out there’s a huge disparity when they go back to school

Where is the “burnt out on corporate BS and not sure if I even like coding anymore, I just want to retire and sell shit on Etsy, too bad everything costs money” phase

Alright let’s go

places in oven

“Honey what’s that awful smell?”

“Who knows. Probably the neighbor’s leaf blower”

Five minutes go by

“It smells like cancer”

“Maybe they are sealcoating their driveway, I don’t know, stop asking me”

Twenty five minutes later

Opens oven

“Fuck”

Retching, coughing “Sweet baby Jesus, what the FUCK is that?! Melted plastic? On my new casserole dish?!”

“Open a goddamn window”

“Open all the fucking windows”

“Mommy why is the house stinky”

“Charlie go play outside”

“But Daddy–”

“I SAID GO OUTSIDE CHARLIE”

from outside “Daddy it smells out here too, the neighbors are doing something black to their driveway”

If there is a war on Christmas, it’s winning

Maybe it’s gotten better in recent times…it was always disconnecting and needing to be restarted

But then you need to connect your IDE to the docker container. Doable, but often a PITA IME

Nah. Dr. Pepper is from the 1800s. I don’t think women were allowed to be doctors back then, so Dr. Pepper being male is a fair assumption.

The USSR had great success in many areas

The PRC struggled during the Great Leap Forward

You seem to be papering over the part where a shit ton of their own people died, so I don’t think this really works as a pitch. You’d need to find a way to ensure that mass death wouldn’t happen again, and then succinctly express it.

Mao was only about 70% good

Anyone who does mass executions is a fucking monster. Probably better to leave this out of the pitch.

No miming, no eye signals, one. Word.

Oh interesting, we always allow miming in Round 2. It’s a good way to “prime” your teammates for Round 3…but I could see why that’d be undesirable

Could you imagine it, though? Imagine dragons?

Even the individual days go by so fast though

E3 2004! The HYPEST

We met Reggie, who’s about kicking ass and taking names.

And the DS is revealed…and it COMES OUT THAT YEAR?! Whaaaaaa

I was so hyped. I started saving my pennies right away.

The multiplayer experience was unbelievable. No cables, no square box thing to play more than 2 players. And you didn’t even need multiple copies of the game! Just all play Mario Kart!

The thumb strap was a neat idea, but not the easiest in practice. Though I did find it great for aiming in the Metroid FPS game, much better than the stylus.

And OF COURSE it was backwards compatible!

Loved it. Beautiful machine. I still have 2 DS Lites that work.

Ah. The classic

Feel free to enumerate other options.

Same. Although I haven’t played in a while and I know a lot of mechanics were reworked. Maybe it’s time to hit it up again.

Only downside is it eats battery like crazy

Am I the only one who loves the Switch? That the joycons come off and even have their own shoulder buttons is so cool. You can just set it on a table and play some multiplayer Mario Kart, heck yes. And they snap into the ring fit circle thingie! Neat! And the Pro controller is great all around.

Shout out to the DS Lite. Loved that thing. Gotta have the thumb strap to play that Metroid multiplayer FPS.

Worst: TI-84. How the hell they still charging over $100 for this thing, when it has less processing power than a Palm Pilot? Seriously the CPU is from 1976. Yeah Bubble Bobble and Block Dude are great, but the Zelda port runs awful.
