Petrichor: The smell of rain on dry ground. One of those things everybody knows about but lacks a word for.
The way the moon is perfectly sized to just exactly cover the sun while still showing the corona and stuff like Bailey’s Beads. It’s an extremely rare cosmic coincidence, and a few million years before or after today and total solar eclipses as we know them wouldn’t be possible.
Maybe, but you definitely see more niche flavors like pistachio, coffee, mango, pineapple-coconut, rum raisin, etc. Hard to believe apple would be less popular, unless it’s more expensive to make for some reason.
Southeastern US. This is my first time seeing apple-anything ice cream on the shelves, from major national brands at least.
This particular one is apple pie, but the ice cream itself (minus the pie crust chunks) would be great on its own.
It’s a well-constructed skit – unabashedly silly, with just the right amount of ironic detachment. I love how after Pumpkins shows up, the couple just coolly analyzes the regular monsters that were making them scream moments before. The music is ridiculous, Tom Hanks demeanor is ridiculous, the dancing is ridiculous (with a dash of sexual weirness at the end). And it comes full circle with him genuinely scaring them in the end.
I do think that them doing sequels and trying to spin a mini-franchise out of it was stupid though.
Thanks! I definitely got a lot of mileage out of it last election:
Chris Wallace trying to get Trump to commit to basic decency like
Live look at the Nevada vote count
There’s more on /c/PresidentialRaceMemes (this would have gone there if Robinson were running for president, guess we’ll have to wait for 2028).
The fact that Silicon Valley interests effortlessly shrugged off the non-profit board’s attempt to hit the kill switch last year, and now are preparing to take the company commercial despite the deliberate design otherwise, becomes much more interesting when you consider the theory that corporations are a form of artificial superintelligence.
If the AI idealists can’t stand up to basic forces of capitalism, how do they expect to control an actually dangerous AGI?
I remember similar cynicism when Obama appointed ~former telecom lobbyist~ Tom Wheeler as FCC chair… only for him to come out with the strongest net neutrality regs in history. People can surprise you.
My man, I said nothing about the science or the validity of that comment, just that it’s wrong to call Ask MetaFilter “some Ask Yahoo knockoff”. If you want to get het up about an argument I never made, you do you.
It doesn’t matter if it was created before Ask Yahoo or if it’s older.
It does if you’re calling it a “knockoff” of a lower-quality site that was created years later, which was what I was responding to.
edit: btw, you’ve linked to the profile of the asker of that question, not the answer to it that /u/half_built_pyramids quoted.
some Ask Yahoo knockoff…
AskMeFi predated Yahoo Answers by several years (and is several orders of magnitude better than it ever was).
It was always bullshit, but in terms of political effectiveness it tapped into some powerful racism and dogged Obama for years to the point that he actually did release his long-form birth certificate. But the attempt to conspiracize about flipping burgers at Mickey D’s is a lot more ineffectual and ridiculous.
The article is fine, tbh, it’s just talking about how Harris is putting less emphasis on the historic nature of her candidacy versus Clinton in 2016. The headline was hot garbage though, just trying to bait those rage-clicks (which obviously worked).
Not going to happen. Even if Mongolia were somehow immune to retaliation, Russia has like a 90% approval rating there.
Halo 3 released closer to the original Sonic the Hedgehog than today.
