It took me over a year to get through season 1 back in the day, giving up and starting again every so often. I finished the other seasons in a little over a month. If you really want to struggle through every episode, hold on to the knowledge that eventually you’ll reach some of the best 45 minutes ever put to film (and that you’ll get to watch DS9 after, which is IMO the superior show, but only truly shines in contrast to TNG).

That “millions” is quite the understatement…

These kind of memes honestly feel like Malboro found a way to circumvent advertising rules, so I assume the joke’s on all of us, I guess.

I know you’re probably joking, but in case anyone actually believes this: there is nothing the average person can do to balance out the negative health effects of smoking. No amount of exercise and healthy eating can cancel out inhaling poison.

What? Aspartame is classified as a possible carcinogen, but mostly to encourage further research. There’s an old rat study that claimed to show an increase in variois cancers, but it had a weirdly cancer-free control group and used levels far in excess of “a few cans per day”. AFAIK, no human studies have ever shown any significant correlation. It definitely hasn’t been “proven and accepted by the WHO”.

All rhombi are parallelograms.

Way to fall victim to tobacco marketing! Of course attractive people putting things in their mouth looks cool…

I hate that Malboro figured out that they can use their marketing budget on memes to circumvent advertising laws…

Fuck smoking, it doubles your chance of death, poisons those around you, fucks up bird nests, smells like shit, and makes the absolute worst people imaginable richer.

If I’m not mistaken, he also calculated pi by hand (to several decimal places) during lockdown. So it wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows for ol’ Isaac.

You do realise water can fall from the sky, right? 100°C might not be too useful for outside temperatures, but knowing if there might be ice on the road or not seems like a useful thing to know.

Also, as a maths teacher, having frequent negative temperatures makes working with negative numbers a lot more intuitive for students. The fact that Americans apparently use 1 for the ground floor means I’d lose out on both of my simple real-world examples of negative numbers.

They’re like the only ones making actual money with TTRPGs and even then they need Magic to keep themselves afloat!

Haha! There’s thankfully not enough money in TTRPGs for Nintendo to care.

Bobby Broccoli recently did a whole series on how his brother came to power and what the dynamics at play are. It’s like 5 hours long, but worth a watch if you’re interested: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAB-wWbHL7VvVT1LbcOIkqkowoZry6Rfd

Affirmative!

Getting rid of excess rupees is the real strength of the Malo Mart magic armour.

Hmm, this looked like a canyon to me at first blush, was it supposed to be a mountain?

I’m not much of an artist, but I’m an astronomy nerd, which means I’ve seen my fair share of photographed craters. Oftentimes, if the light is shining from the bottom of the image, craters look like mountains and vice-versa. So maybe some extra shading at the top for craters and at the bottom for mountains might help sell the illusion of depth?

It’s not as red as Palestine. Israel has been killing more journalists than the dark red countries combined, yet still gets to be medium red.

What the hell is this metric? Israel has been killing journalists in Palestine, but those stats mostly influence Palestine’s score, not Israel’s. 0 journalists killed in Israel, while true, hardly paints a correct picture of the situation… Basically, if you can export your journalistic suppression, you’re in the clear.

This feels like they gave Sakurai carte blache and I’m here for it! Kirby Air Ride was an absolute gem and probably the best showcase of Sakurai’s design sensibilities. Definitely my most anticipated game of the year!
