It's not about arresting some rando off the street, it's about drumming up sympathy and making the other side look bad

A pretty big fire in Chicago, you missed it by about 150 years

For me, it's that the app I use does not have the chat feature. I'm 99% certain this is just an attempt to push out the revanced users

It's also more acidic than bleach! Chemists refer to it as a "universal solvent." It's basically the scariest substance in existence

The fact that it's cast aluminum is tremendously funny to me. I love watching videos of these things fall apart trying to tow anything

I love when people who don't know anything about a subject act like they know anything about a subject

That's true, but further proves my point that people should know more about the systems they interact with and how to manipulate them. If someone burns down their house while trying to replace an electrical outlet, that is not a sign that home handymen should not be replacing electrical outlets.

All I was saying was that as far as I'm concerned, Mint is plenty good enough to replace windows on my home computers. If there are some particular technical aspects that interfere with your workflow, then I can see why you would avoid it.

Y'all are the ones that know how to make the printer work, which is wizardry to millennials and boomers alike

You don't need to know how to run a nuclear power plant, but you do need to know what wires are

This analogy actually works kind of well. Like, you don't actually need to know anything about wiring to use a light switch, but if something goes wrong in your house and you need to fix it, having just a little bit of knowledge about how the device works can save you hundreds of dollars and days of downtime.

It can also help you avoid making the mistakes that cause those problems in the first place, whether the issue is that you don't know what setting you accidentally changed, or you don't know how many watts you can safely pull out of an outlet

(Enter RADISHN'T, MOTHMAN MISATO, BOIMG FROG and CATS'N RAINCOATS, stage left. They are having a HEATED DISCUSSION.)

RADISHN'T: Prithee, which one of you had planned to tell

Of diff'rent flavours gained by simple act

Of brewing tea with water hot, not cold?

MOTHMAN: Egad! you poured the water cold? Wherefore?!

FROG: An answer from you, Radish, I must beg.

RADISHN'T: Indeed I did, dear friends - why does this shock?

Without the guide of others I assumed

That heat was merely added for the sake

Of expediting this solution's brewing!

Half a decade I have spent, or more,

Not questioning this worldview I had made.

In fact, I am myself a bit surprised

That you might think that I, your dearest friend,

Might have a patience of sufficient stock

To wait until a pot of water boils.

FROG: Three minutes overtaxes patience so?

The microwave will beep when it is done!

CATS'N: My friend, this answer vexes me the more!

Can it be true that thou dost boil by nuke?!

FROG: Are you in turn, my friend, so shocked to know

That I have not the patience, like our Root,

To boil upon the stove our favour'd drink?

CATS'N: It takes less than a minute!

FROG: On what plate?

Perhaps your dinner cooks atop the sun?

CATS'N: How long can take your stove to fill the task

Of boiling but a single cup alone?

FROG: In minutes?

CATS'N: Yes!

FROG: I counted seven, once.

CATS'N: Perhaps you ought to have your timepiece checked!

If on a middle heat you place the cup

You soon will have the scalding drink you crave.

Two minutes, in a mug upon the plate

Or even less, if you should have a pot.

FROG: You cause me tears - is this how thou dost live?

You place upon the iron stove a mug?

A mug, ceramic, filled with water cold?

How do these flames, though medium in height,

Not shatter like a glass this fragile thing?

Surely, then, your kitchen is bewitched

With magicks far beyond the mortal ken!

(The FOUR realise they have wandered into the THRONE ROOM. The ROYAL COURT watches with fascination.)

KING: Ev'ry single person in this group

must be a fucking lunatic, it seems.
