Fair enough. This community has been quiet

OP is making the classic mistake of form over function. The colorful backgrounds of the top license plates look nice in photos but they make it more difficult to read a license plate number on a moving vehicle.

Since design should take function into consideration, I think some of the more esthetically pleasing plates, at least according to OP, would be considered to have poor design.

Sure the plain plates are a little boring but I'd rather have a boring, easily legible plate than a pretty, indecipherable one any day.

"I feel like I'm going to die, Bart"

About 5 months ago I ordered this clock and it is still working fine now. It's definitely cheaper than the listed price (it's just cardboard and the clock motor) but it's absolutely silent and it makes me smile every time I see it.

I also bought a lot of cute clothes for my dog for under like $5 each outfit so that's really nice.

It's not out yet but Marvel Rivals looks like it may be a good fit. Hopefully they'll announce the release date soon now that the closed beta is over.

Was not expecting to see an Azumanga Daioh meme

Thanks for looking out. I think I got it now

Homer buys Lisa a cheap animated video for her birthday. The scene is from the video.

Lisa gets upset, though, because the video proves that Homer knew absolutely nothing about her.

He then hires a PI to spy on her to find out more about her. Shenanigans ensue

Edit: Found the clip

I expected that kind of language at Denny's but not here!

Don't know how wide you need, but the cable tray from Monoprice is a bit cheaper and longer.

Piggybacking on this to say that if you join groups based around your hobbies you can make good friends that way too. It's really hard to make friends during class because you're too focused on schoolwork to be social.

And don't be discouraged if one group doesn't work out. I had a tough time making friends my freshman year of college and tried joining an anime club but didn't like the vibe of that club. My RA pushed me to volunteer for Resident Life and that's where I made all my closest college friends. Joining clubs, volunteer organizations, or other social groups is a great way to meet similar minded people. People in these groups tend to be friendly so they can attract more people into the group.

The sourdough ranch bacon cheeseburger from Carl's Jr was my go to burger back in the early 2000s. They brought back another sourdough sandwich a few years ago and it was also good but unfortunately that's also discontinued.

The sourdough from Jack in the Box is close but with the lack of lettuce and onions feels a little dry.

("The Story of the Wild Huntsman") is the only story not primarily focused on children. In it, a hare steals a hunter's musket and eyeglasses and begins to hunt the hunter. In the ensuing chaos, the hare's child is burned by hot coffee and the hunter jumps into a well.

lol wut?

To add to what other comments have said, wasn't Aang fighting the Fire Nation when this was going on?

So even if we want to make the argument that Yue is a spirit, he didn't see her as a spirit.

Men will do anything to not carry a bag

If this style of writing is your thing, there's a webcomic/book by Nathan Pyle that you would like. Here's his website if you want to check his social media.

And changing genders

Thimbleweed Park seems to fit your criteria. One of the reviews even compares it to Twin Peaks. It's a point and click murder mystery adventure game with where you have to switch between 5 characters.

It's been years since I've played but I think the setting was in a fake Northwest Pacific town.

Fun fact, the names in the phone book and the titles/stories of the books in the library came from Kickstarter backers. Some of the books were pretty funny.

Also depending on how heavy the leveler is, he can use painters tape. It's meant to be placed in the wall temporarily and not damage the paint on the wall.

Edit: added a very important "not"

In the US, the cops are the murderers

During its weekend convention, the Arizona GOP also passed a resolution to censure Pence and former Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley for “their dereliction of duty of refusing to support President Donald J. Trump and by default supporting the democrats.”

An equally concerning, if not more concerning, move by the Arizona GOP was to punish Republicans who didn't support Trump. Neither Pence nor Haley endorsed Trump for president and that is apparently a bigger crime than trying to overturn an election or being removed from office for ethics violations.

She said her homeowner's insurance won't cover anything pest-related because they deem it preventable.

So the real monster was the insurance company. What a twist!

Poor Max, he works like a dog

Do you have proof of this? I tried searching but I only get articles related to this incident.

I have a Homer clock that would say a Homer quote every hour. My grandpa got it for me at a garage sale so it meant a lot that he remembered something I liked. Since he said the same unique quote for every hour, I could tell what time it was based on the quote.

Unfortunately I had to put the clock in storage since it stopped working. The second hand kept getting stuck, even with new batteries.

I also have a pair of Homer slippers. I wore the hell out of them in college. I had to buy a new pair recently because of how worn out they were.

Does it need to be wireless? If so it would be difficult. Otherwise, I'd look into open back reference headphones.

I've had my Akg K712 Pro for years and I love them. They cushions are really soft so I can wear them with my glasses for hours.

"For the Terminator with only 4/5 of a second to get ready"

Is there a nonpaywall link?

I am out of the loop. What game is this?

Apocrine sweat gland!

I'd agree with the exception of artists who sell their printed work (ex: photographers, graphic designers). They're not only making money from their prints but also printing in color frequently enough that the cartridge doesn't dry out.

Interesting read. Never thought about how the emotions of songs have changed. I wish they discussed more on how the different ways people listen to music affects the complexity of the song lyrics.

They briefly mention how most people listen to music as background noise and that the first 10-15 seconds are crucial to whether people listen to the song or skip it.

But there are also other factors I wished they mentioned like how easily accessible songs are (you don't have to go out and buy a physical copy) or other types of audio competition (like audio books or podcasts). Since musicians have to try to appeal to as many people as possible to compete with so many other choices for people to listen to, the lyrics have gotten simpler and more repetitive/catchy.

But I guess it's not so much an explanation of why lyrics have changed but proof that it has.

Gave me folk singer vibes

Generally love that type of humor too but it's less funny if the person making the joke insults the other person. Because then it makes it seem like the joker does not get that there's two meanings in the phrase, like how the original commenter noted. It makes the joker seem condescending and oblivious.

Saying these types of jokes with a straight face would be much funnier than if the joker was mean spirited. Leslie Nielsen was a master at this.

True, but I was comparing it to Mandarin and Cantonese (OP didn't say which Chinese language but I assume it's one of these). Both of them are also tonal languages from what I understand so in that way they are all different from English.

However, Vietnamese is easier since the characters are more recognizable. Listening to movies/shows with subtitles makes it easier to understand and it's easier to pick up reading Vietnamese than reading Chinese.

The issue here though, is that for OP it seems like Chinese is the more practical language to learn since their "friends" also speak it.

The Iris Rev 8 might be just what you're looking for. In any case, I think the term you're looking for is "hotswapable" since you want DIY without soldering.

Personally, I have the Ergodox EZ and I love it. It almost meets all of your requirements but I think it's more than 40%.

Objectively speaking, Vietnamese is much easier to learn for an English speaker too since they also use the Latin alphabet.

Not sure how many Vietnamese speakers are in the UK though.

I hope you like it! After you beat it, I would suggest watching people's reactions to the ending. It's pretty cathartic to see

"The ending isn’t any more important than any of the moments leading to it" from To the Moon.

Haven't played that game in over a decade but I still remember it being such a great emotional roller-coaster.

It's $2 on steam right now and has such a great story and soundtrack for that price. It's only about 4-6 hours but the memory of the story will last for much longer.

The original is actually a lot funnier
