Keen on the hygiene and on the mission like a super technician.

I just listened to this week's free episode of Chapo where they talked about Whitlock's incredibly horrible attempt at trying to compare everyone involved in the Steven Crowder/Daily Wire hissyfit to characters in Game of Thrones, and I am not going to listen to him talk about anything that matters

This was our next door neighbor at our last place (rowhome living baybeeee), and to make matters worse we had kind of become friends with her before we began...hearing things. So I had to forget whatever I had heard the night before if I happened to run into her the following day :goleft:

I keep getting random stuff reminding me that Die Antwoord was a thing recently and I'm not sure what about internet browsing has indicated I'm in to them unless someone in my household has been watching their videos.

I'm planning to try and go protest this weekend. I have to go see my mom and sister tomorrow since I've put it off for a while but Longview's close to Portland and I know folks so it shouldn't be hard. I'm not watching the video -- I've seen too much brutality from law enforcement and non-law enforcement. The fact that people will use it to once again find a reason to blame BIPOC for their own deaths becuase this murder was done by black police officers is infuriating and I just can't deal with it. My family has experienced brutality by law enforcement, I've had relatives nearly die in county jail after being dilberatly igorned by law enforcement and even then we're white or white-passing enough that every knows it could have been worse. And that's outside of the overall negative interactions I've had with law enforcement professionally.

In non-cop stuff, I fotally forgot the winter Olympics were last year. I'm watching the figure skating nationals and had a minute where I thought they were coming up.

I told my mom who likes to do puzzles about your thing with taking pictures of them and putting them up on your wall and she thought it was cool. Do you print them out on an office printer or use a service to do this? (neither of us have any color printers and this is my job to figure out now that I've gotten it into her head).

Looking it up I guess something like Shutterstock would be the way to go? I'm not a printing physical pictures guy so I'm walking in blind here if you or anyone else tells me how to do this the cheapest and easiest way.

I normally take pictures of the ones I'm not putting up, just so I have a record of it. For ones that I'm actually putting up I get glue sheets/backing stuff instead. It's how I hosed up my last puzzel -- I was moving it so I could flip it over so I could put the backing on it and it slipped off the mat I was using. Generally speaking though, for other stuff I'll use Shutterstock since it's pretty easy. I do have a color printer at work but it's not made for nice stock paper.

Oh god the glue sheets might be even harder to do and I'm afraid of mentioning this possibility. Thanks, I'll give Shutterstock a try for now and...probably tell her about that other idea because I'm weak and she really likes her puzzles. And then try to figure that out.

I use these or similar products and it's not too bad. They do tend to get a little less forgiving of moving around after a bit but the puzzles I took home from old office held up okay, minus one, and they're posted by my kitchen door. If you do use the sheets it's a good idea to put something heavy on them to really get a good stick. A Sexual Elk's suggestion is also good and I've done it for my home done ones (which I don't do now because of the cats) but not at work. Either way good luck!

How are the XBox controls? I played through the first three levels on Switch in portable mode and with the regular joycons it felt like I was wearing two left gloves trying to play.

I have the N64 pad for Switch, need to try it at some point.

Also isn’t the Xbox version just the earlier remake that Rare did that never saw the light of day? Entirely possible that has added proper dual stick controls, while the N64 emulator on Switch…won’t.

No. It's sitting in Microsoft's archives, waiting for bug fixing, but Nintendo refuses to let Microsoft release it (although a build did leak last summer).

The Xbox version is just upscaled 4K (and it looks really lovely).

Edit: Here's a longplay of the remake that Rare did; per some Rare staffers, the game was 95 percent complete and just needed QA.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0GinqO4lhU

For contrast, this is how the version that just went up on GamePass looks:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49nmTSeARIs

They're just using the N64 emulator they designed for Rare Replay and upscaling the original ROM to 4K.

I had missed that these guys were in a unit called SCORPION

SCORPION stands for Street Crimes Operation to Restore Peace in Our Neighborhoods.

Y'all already know exactly where my mind went there https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Scorpion_and_the_Frog

But more than that if you're trying to be friendly it seems like you shouldn't choose a scorpion as a mascot. You should pick something at least as an opening position that tells me you're protecting and serving me. Walk dogs around the neighborhood or something and let me pet them, and have them not be scary dogs. You don't get to be the Punisher anymore, that should never have been your place.

And this was supposed to be the good/reformed version of policing.

My small city's department basically does this along with our fire and EMS departments in that they set up shop in what are usually "problem areas" and let people run up to the K9s and pet them. The dogs love it, residents there talk to the PD and other services about concerns both in the neighborhood and in the department, and the cops look good in the process. It's such a fuckin no brainer that NOT going that route basically admits you want to be The Punisher and crack skulls while talking nice.

It's alarming how legit they taste which begs the question of how easy they are to get to that taste level.

You can't get the mozz sticks, chicken rings or chicken with cheese at the grocery store though, and that's the best part of white castle those things are crack to me and that honey mustard is special.

Mine had the regular cheeseburgers and the jalapeno ones, and then one day, about six months ago, they were just ... gone from the freezer aisle.

With honey mustard these things are so good.


The bad part is at some point White Castle cheaped out and stopped making chicken with cheese sandwiches with it's own chicken and just started sticking two chicken rings in a bun and it isnt' the same.
