Technically speaking you’d have to say they did war crimes by modern standards.

A lot of what you describe wasn’t actually criminal at the time, see. It was called “war”.

Doesn’t make it any less horrific, mind.

You seem nice.

Right. 18650! Thanks!

And TIL what the numbers mean. Cool!

…

My flashlights use replaceable chargeables. I want to say “16550” but I’m not sure of the numbers. They’re larger than AAs, longer than Cs but not quite as thick.

China. Wuhan, specifically.

This is my favourite place within walking distance of home. Whenever I’m in there it’s great food and great companionship.

Some of them add a touch of baking soda (no, really!) to make it a little less harsh. But even there, the generics caught onto that trick decades ago.

I use rechargeable flashlights. Hell, I use rechargeable everything. I’m not sure when I last bought AA or AAA batteries for anything.

Ice cream trucks aren’t a thing here, but the local street washers play Jingle Bells.

I know, right? It’s like irony is a lost art.

There’s also a reason why votes in parliaments aren’t secret.

It’s the lazy drive-by and rage votes specifically that I would love to see eliminated. If you’re too much a coward to defend a position, maybe you shouldn’t express it.

To me the anonymity of voting is the problem, so the solution is to make them public for all, not to find ways of making them more private.

I’m kinda partial to this vibe for my games:

Or this vibe:

Literally 15 seconds to find.

I’m pretty sure the other states have similar incentives.

Fifteen. Seconds.

The Model 3 is an overpriced, shoddily-assembled car. The only reason it’s the “affordable” one is because of the huge amount of tax incentives E-vehicles get. If you had to pay the actual cost of a Model 3 you would not be calling it a “fantastic car”.

I know it’s hard for the Tesla cultists to accept, rather like the Apple cultists before them, but Tesla products are not good products for the price.

👏

🤣

I wouldn’t call “I need to go home because it’s 11PM and I work tomorrow” a “short attention span”. The fact that you’re characterizing it as such is … problematic.

That sounds like my experience with Star Fleet battles. A ‘simple’ and ‘introductory’ game at a local games club that three hours later had us only finished the second turn.

Back then I stuck it out to be nice. Now I’m far more likely to just apologetically say that the game is not working for me.
