Lyc run report, it’s hot out. - znufrii Aug 4, 08:18 11
- Yesh. We got a little break where it wasn't bustin' 100 daily, but we're back baby! -- nm - Qale As Folk Aug 4, 08:40 1
  - We might hit 84 today. -- nm - Spawn Aug 4, 08:51
- Our heat broke last night. Hopefully, yours will, too. -- nm - Spawn Aug 4, 08:29 1
  - Not until next Wednesday, looks like. Ugh. -- nm - znufrii Aug 4, 08:35
- It was great when I went riding this morning at 7am. A tad humid, but much better than it's been. -- nm - sycor Aug 4, 08:24 2
  - I wish I had the morning motivation to get up early and do that. :) -- nm - znufrii Aug 4, 08:25 1
    - Oh it's not easy. The only reason I manage to do it is because I know I can't deal with the 100 degree heat index by the time I get off work. - sycor Aug 4, 08:27
- What were you even thinking? -- nm - ty97 Aug 4, 08:19 3

This won't mean anything to non-Halo players, but someone has won the $20,000 prize for not dying on a full Halo 2 LASO run. -- (link) - David Aug 4, 08:09 10
- "and the incredibly skillful use of skips and glitches" - JaxSean Aug 4, 08:44 3
  - I think that if something's in the game, it's fair game. It'd take 20 hours to beat Halo 2 on LASO without skips. Too much could go wrong. - David Aug 4, 09:01 2
    - I'm watching it now, and he skips full sections. Not saying there's not an insane amount of skill involved. - JaxSean Aug 4, 09:07 1
      - To be fair, he's also one of the people who discovered those skips. - David Aug 4, 09:10
- wow! -- nm - Remlik Aug 4, 08:15
- If only I'd known about that :) -- nm - crash davis Aug 4, 08:15 3
  - The money was as good as yours! -- nm - David Aug 4, 08:22 2
    - Yeah, because we all know my teammates are in greater danger from my play than I am -- nm - crash davis Aug 4, 08:36 1
      - I mean, if you treat the enemy like your allies, they'll all die in a hail of friendly fire. -- nm - David Aug 4, 08:49

Does anyone have some YouTube channels that they enjoy and can recommend? - Krusty Aug 4, 08:01 13

  - And I rarely watch music videos on it today. :-) There are some really good channels making some very interesting content. -- nm - Krusty Aug 4, 08:23
- Thanks for the recs! I'll give them all a look. I just noticed my feed was rather stale and I figured youse would have some good channels to check out -- nm - Krusty Aug 4, 08:15
- Most of mine are tech stuff for home automation, DIY, some cooking like Babish. Julie Nolke is usually good for a laugh. -- nm - sycor Aug 4, 08:10

- So, so sorry. -- nm - Spawn Aug 4, 08:27
- Ugh. My uncle had the same. It sucks. Hoping for all the best for him and your family. -- nm - Dark Callisto Aug 4, 08:21
- Thank you everyone. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 4, 08:13
- That sucks. I hope they can find an effective treatment -- nm - TWuG Aug 4, 08:06 2
  - From what my father heard yesterday - Strongbad Aug 4, 08:15 1

- Yes, Instagram does need more Ukrainian "models". -- nm - Mop Aug 4, 07:16
CNN: Brittney Griner to get sentenced here shortly. looks like she'll get 9.5 years -- nm - Remlik Aug 4, 07:02 20
- I'll admit I have mixed feelings about all of this. Obviously she's getting way too harsh of a sentence but she still broke their laws by - Krusty Aug 4, 07:18 16
  - That assumes she really did it and wasn't set up. - Dark Callisto Aug 4, 08:19 2
    - I'm pretty sure she admitted to having it but states it was accidentally packed. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 4, 08:28
    - She has an Rx for it and never, afaik, claimed it wasn't hers. - TWuG Aug 4, 08:28
  - This. -- nm - Mop Aug 4, 07:53
  - It reminds me of that kid who got caned for vandalism in Singapore. -- nm - Dano Aug 4, 07:31
  - Can drug problems be solved with harsh penalties? Imagine 10 years for posession in the US. Might make a few rethink -- nm - budice Aug 4, 07:19 10
    - Yes, "imagine" -- nm - Roger More Aug 4, 08:33
    - Generally speaking, prison solves very few behavior issues either as a threat to prevent or as a punishment. - TWuG Aug 4, 08:12
    - No, but also, that is irrelevant in terms of what other countries choose to do. -- nm - Andie Aug 4, 07:24 1
      - and, the US has some pretty harsh possession laws on the books too. (not 10 years, but 2 or 3 for simple possession if you have priors.) -- nm - Andie Aug 4, 07:25
    - No. Next question? -- nm - znufrii Aug 4, 07:23
    - They can not. We tried that and it didn't do a damn thing. We can't legislate our way out of the drug problem. -- nm - Krusty Aug 4, 07:23 4
      - well, *criminally* legislate. -- nm - Reagen Aug 4, 07:42 3
        
        Correct. Harsh penalties don't stop crimes or fix societal ills like drug abuse. The death penalty doesn't prevent murders and 10 years - Krusty Aug 4, 07:48 2
        
        Portugal decriminalized most things and saw big reductions - Reagen Aug 4, 08:01 1
        
        I knew what you meant. That's why I mentioned how criminal penalties haven't done a damn thing to change things for the better. - Krusty Aug 4, 08:05
- That's complete and total garbage. - sycor Aug 4, 07:13
- I don't follow pro ball closely, but I do remember her in college. We played against her Baylor team in the championship and just had no answer. - Barons Barons Barons Aug 4, 07:07
- how horrendous. -- nm - Andie Aug 4, 07:05
"I was feeling nostalgic about Winamp and went to see if it was something I can still download and it turns out it’s now all about NFTs 🤮🤮🤮" -- (link) - Gary Whitta Aug 4, 06:47 3
- Can't twitter while in the office, but man I used to love me some Winamp. -- nm - sycor Aug 4, 06:55
- Justin Frankel has nothing to do with this. Reaper, his project after, is an absolute delight. -- nm - colin Aug 4, 06:51 1
  - Yes, this irks me. Gary Whitta would know that the “old” Winamp went away long ago. He’s just feigning shock for effect. - Mop Aug 4, 07:55
Ultrasound results are in. As expected fatty liver infiltrates. Weight loss and watch the alcohol is the recommendation. - sycor Aug 4, 06:34 14
- You've got this. -- nm - Spawn Aug 4, 08:28
- Good luck to you, do the work and start feeling better soon. -- nm - crash davis Aug 4, 07:04
- I’ve got this too. I’m not drinking much and I’m not losing weight. Tylenol is out -- nm - Epiphany! Aug 4, 06:43 2
  - I could easily stand to lose the 50 lbs I gained the last two and half years. - sycor Aug 4, 06:54 1
    - Alcohol is so sneaky. Fortunately, it's ensnared so many people you've got plenty of us to talk to if you need it! -- nm - Qale As Folk Aug 4, 08:48
- I’m great at watching alcohol. For example I just watched myself pour a glass of whisky. Glad it’s not something too terrible. -- nm - mafic Aug 4, 06:41 1
  - Yeah that's been my problem LOL -- nm - sycor Aug 4, 06:52
- Not bad. Good luck with the weight loss. -- nm - Krusty Aug 4, 06:40 6
  - Thanks. It's definitely a process. Being older is making it a little more difficult than last time. I lost about 6 lbs so far. - sycor Aug 4, 06:54 5
    - Do you drink soda or other sweetened drinks? Cutting those out would really help in losing weight. I saw my most dramatic loss when I stopped drinking - Krusty Aug 4, 07:12 4
      - I will have a diet soda at night. During the day I just drink water. When I switched to diet years ago it did help a lot. - sycor Aug 4, 07:15 3
        
        I lost weight and drink diet soda. I found it wasn't the issue. For me it was carbs (bread, sugar in other foods, etc.) - oblique Aug 4, 07:29 2
        
        I usually don't eat too late anymore. And I'm working on my carbs. The last couple years was just a ton of pizza and fast food. Once I get back fully - sycor Aug 4, 07:49 1
        
        Same here with the lack of cooking and getting delivery which is almost always very unhealthy food like a cheeseburger and fries. It's not easy - Krusty Aug 4, 07:51

The other problem with hydrogen as a fuel is that while it's energy dense per mass, it's not energy dense per volume - Reagen Aug 4, 06:16 10
- Probably sometimes, but mostly it’s gonna shoot out and dissipate pretty quickly. The danger is pretty comparable to gasoline, but the engineering is - mafic Aug 4, 06:38 1
  - I'm less worried about explody and more nozzley. -- nm - Reagen Aug 4, 06:42
- isn't pixie's sweet new ride hydrogen? -- nm - amanda Aug 4, 06:21 7
  - FCEV babeee. i have (near) zero concerns about tank or station ruptures. H2's been in regular use here in CA for 10+ years with no incidents i'm aware - hollywood big shot Aug 4, 08:35
  - did he get a balloon? -- nm - crash davis Aug 4, 07:06 3
    - How fun would it be to look up and see commuters going to work by hot air balloon? I mean, not fun if you're sitting in traffic, but still. -- nm - Max Aug 4, 07:30 1
      - If there was a regular helium dirigible passenger service line somewhere, I'd be interested in a ticket -- nm - crash davis Aug 4, 07:37

Reuters journalists are striking today for the 1st time in three decades. 1% wage increase not enough with inflation -- (link) - budice Aug 4, 06:10 2
- Dude, 1% is absurd. -- nm - Mop Aug 4, 07:18 1
  - Truly. Even my employer gave everyone 5% and they're experts at claiming poverty (even while putting up multiple new buildings simultaneously) -- nm - Barons Barons Barons Aug 4, 07:35
