Stuff like this has also been implemented using water pumps/valves, and even in Minecraft using redstone.

Yeah, my Star Trek knowledge starts and ends with the movies (both the OG Trilogy and the two Abrams films), so most of these meme might as well be in Klingon. But everyone else is having so much fun that it’s fun laugh along like I understand the jokes.

On a related note, if I wanted to get onto Star Trek, what series does everyone recommend starting with?

Nobody said you have to get excited about it

The title of the post is “Seriously. The fuck is wrong with you [for not caring about space]?”

Fascinating! It never would have occurred to me that the sentence was worded ambiguously until you pointed it out, but your interpretation is 100% valid. English is a strange language.

Yeah, 144hz makes a significant difference for competitive FPS games (especially fast paced ones like Overwatch), but I hardly notice a difference when playing single player or PvE oriented games.

Hell, on some games (e.g. Borderlands 3 and CP2077) I actually prefer to play on my 60hz monitor since a smooth 60hz is much more enjoyable IMO than an inconsistent 100-144hz experience. My computer is admittedly pretty old though.

Not necessarily.

A. They might have really liked the flavor and/or mechanics on the UA version and the homebrew version was different enough that it wasn’t as interesting to them

B. OP might have taken long enough researching Mythic and it’s alternatives that the player had time to reconsider their choice. The player might have been split between the two anyway

C. The player might have realized that running a homebrew/UA class was going to be a lot of extra work for themselves and/or the GM, so they decided to do something easier

Yeah, I considered including at least the Simarillion in the calculations, but the sales numbers for LoTR and the Hobbit are so staggeringly large that including his other works seemed pointless.

You raise a very good point about holding him responsible for all the works he inspired through. He invented a whole new sub-genre of fantasy, leading to hundreds of millions (if not billions) more books being printed.

And think of the movies! I wonder how many trees died to print scripts and build sets for 6 movies and a TV series

One could argue that Tolkien is an enemy to the trees. [Warning unverified sources and very rough maths lie below]

• The LOTR Trilogy has sold 150 million copies, and the Hobbit has sold 142 million source
• Each LOTR book has a (very rough) average of 430 pages, while the Hobbit has ~360. This totals to 115,620,000,000 pages printed
• The average tree creates ~20,000 sheets of paper source

This means Tolkien is responsible for the deaths of at least 5,781,000 trees. The Ents would not be happy

I personally really love my Babish Chef’s knife. I generally avoid buying content creator merch, but all the reviews I read for the knife seemed overwhelming positive for the price point

100% agree. There is tons of delicious vegetarian/vegan food, but vegetarian/vegan substitutions of traditionally meat based dishes range from terrible to just okay.

Carb replacement dishes have the same problem. Spaghetti Squash is delicious when cooked as a vegetable, but throwing Ragu on it and pretending it is pasta is just sad.

Relevant xkcd

Yeah, that seems like a useless benchmark for judging a search engine

That works better in text, but doesn’t come across as well in spoken word

It’s no different to me than watching one of the movies and seeing the guy from Indiana Jones and Air Force One flying the Millennium Falcon

Right, and in most American dialects they are pronounced the same. Whereas Centimeter is pronounced differently and does not have an “ometer”

because I didn’t want a single purpose appliance when I could make it in a pot.

In case anyone else has the same issue, you can make rice just as easily in an electric pressure cooker (e.g. Instapot) which has a much wider use case.

Although, I’ve never used an actual rice cooker, so I can’t testify to the difference in quality
