That’s like one of the super grindy JRPG titles I have (100 hours or so to get through the story). To get all the achievements, you’d have to play through an absolute minimum of 9 times, because you need to kill the end boss without taking damage on each difficulty level, and they unlock as you go. But you’d actually be grinding bosses for ages trying to get them without taking damage..

The game was ok, but I honestly can’t see wanting to play it twice let alone 9 times.. there’s definitely a reason almost nobody has those achievements..

I ordered papaya salad ages back and was told basically the same thing (Vietnamese? Thai? Idk). It was unpleasant but I liked it? I guess I liked it? I ate it, tho it took a while. It was very fishy, which I dislike. But idk, it wasn’t the worst thing I’ve ever had. And now I kinda want it again.

This is definitely the only memory I have of it, yeah. Brightly lit room after running hither and yon across base all night.. and being too tired to give a shit what was going on..

There’s a pizza chain by me that is, imho, so greasy as to be inedible without soaking off half the grease.. and yet it exists.. people pay money for it. They haven’t gone out of business.

So at least it’s not just shitty school food I guess…? 😒

Damn man. At least they made the art they had banging around in their skulls.

Meanwhile I can’t do a thing I’ve got so much reference material for because “what if it’s not just the way I want”

you dumb bitch you can fix it if it sucks holy shit.

Edit: I wonder if cave painters had issues with.. not properly representing their vision.. their visions were… more bison shaped then, but all the same…

They are being trained.

To escalate, that’s why they “need” all that military kit.

Testicle size and reproductive potency are entirely unrelated to penis size, for all the men out there. And if you only ever have one partner at a time that you want to make babies with, you don’t really need to be a super stud in the testicle department. You just need regular sexual contact with your lady half.

But this shows that even if you do want all the ladies, large testicles don’t matter.

(Aside; people with breeder fetishes who impregnate multiple women are fucking gross and weird. Musk is one such and just.. eew.)

The middle is what relationships between the two top extremes ends up looking like, for both.

In several countries, and absolutely historically, it’s actually been a government-classified relationship status.

It just means people involved in a romantic and sexual relationship who are unwilling or unable to legally marry for whatever reason (because they are already married, because they aren’t legally qualified, such as one member is from a slave caste, etc)

So I looked.

The long and short of it is that HVAC tape has stronger and more temp resistant (see also: gooey) adhesives. The foil or composite layer on the outside does act to protect the adhesive, but it also serves to create an impenetrable barrier for moisture and air that is rigid and not prone to flex with increased air movement. This is valuable in systems that create a mild vacuum when kicking on, or where the air being pushed could create holes for air to move through.

It’s sort of not “one reason”, but a handful of reasons that work in tandem.

No idea what purpose it serves on an airplane tho.

I’m guessing he thought it was a fancy term for slaves. Which is wrong in a lot of ways, but also just weird..

It’s the best read of it I can manage though..
