Aye. We aught to be drinking green beer year round!

Fun fact: f in musical notation means “play it loud”

fff means “play it really, really, REALLY loud”

FFFFFFF would be “play it so loud the deaf lady in the back row shits herself. No one on stage should survive this noise”

Fun fact, which does not alter the advice given here in any way: glass isn’t that flat.

It can vary in thickness and flatness between .0005 and .005 inches.

So like, still the flattest cheapest thing you can buy. It would 100% work in this application. But if you want flat flat. You gotta start grinding. One could, were on so inclined, take two sheets of glass, and rub them together with a dollop of lapping compound between them until a rubbing fluid test shows no high spots.

Then you take a third pane of glass, and give it the same treatment with the other two.

Once you’ve done this enough, you’ll have three of the flattest pieces of material a person can have in the home shop, and just about as flat as anything you’d get in a scientific setting. And you’ll only have a handful of cuts and calluses, and the insanity you suffer will be very mild.

Will it be worth it? No. Will it be fun? No. Will anyone at the party care? Turns out also no.

Anyway yeah a piece of glass would work great

Warhammer 40k is leaking again

But we do have evidence of positive and negative fucks, so an absolute fuck likely refers to the unknown value of the fuck. We need absolute fucks when we need to get to the root of a fuck.

Which of course means, we can also have imaginary fucks. Which tracks

Tradie here, this is accurate. That’s how it works

HVAC guys can bring in that much.

They work 6, 12 hour days to do it. But they can make pretty good money. They just don’t get to spend it.

They can also make next to nothing. Depending on unionization status and how busy their area is.

You know when Nero did that, they tore it down right after he killed himself* and built a the coliseum in its place.

*Note: he killed himself rather than let his own guards murder him.

Man, I’d like to believe it. I thought maybe we had a chance with Osborne but he lost as hard as any Democrat would have. If you look at a map of counties colored by how far they swung either more Democrat or more Republican this election, Nebraska is basically highlighted in red while most of the rest of the country is blue.

If I could move, I’d move. I’m tethered here in more ways than one. But there’s no hope in this state.

Ok fair. Hotter.

In that case the only chance he has if he finds out Quark is involved in any way. The Ring can’t give him the pleasure he’d get by denying Quark access to it. Only destroying it can

David Kittenborough is right there

The ring tempted what were effectively angels with untold cosmic power available to them already. Gandalf and Galadriel both failed the test.

Sam only avoided temptation because he was content in life before he came to know the world, and wanted nothing more than to go back to it. Frodo only failed in the 11th hour because the ring had been with him so long.

Sisko wants peace, he harbors deep resentment around the death of his wife, and he wants a fulfilling life for Jake. All things that depend on circumstances well outside his control, he’s temptable.

I was mostly joking about Odo. I imagine he’d fail too. But he’s so damned concerned with the fair execution of justice that he’d likely withstand it a bit. The ring is not his, and it is to be destroyed. He’d genuinely do his best to accomplish that goal.

I’ve been under a rock with new Trek since s1 of Disco, when did Klingons get hot? Asking for an actual friend

You are a nervous system contained within a space suit made of meat.

Also unclench your jaw and drink some water.

He said, ignoring his own advice

Listen, it may be part of the problem but it’s not the cause of the problem so it’s allowed to remain until the root cause is found. Then when we pull that out we’ll take all the parts with it.

Obviously.

He would go on to do himself no favors, intellectualize his feelings and talk himself out of any real resolution, forever.

What? Where did you go to Dr school?

YouTube?

20% plus 5 minutes. 30% plus 5 during rush hour.

Travel is 30 minutes? 10 minutes early, 15 with traffic.

Travel is 10 minutes and there’s no traffic? 5 minutes early.

It’s an hour long drive but it’s rush hour?

Leave 25 minutes earlier than you would have.

Longer than that? Bitch why are you driving that far on such a tight timetable???

Of the crew of DS9, Odo is least likely to be tempted by the ring, so this tracks.

Other than O’Brien, of course, who not only couldn’t be tempted by the Ring, but would prefer not to have the world it shows him. A station that runs as smoothly as the Enterprise. … So he can run the transporter again.
