I live in New Zealand. Never seen one, don't expect to. This silly bastard comes here on a game show and finds and eats one? Gah

I was out for a drive with 4 other friends packed into a tiny car, decades ago when we were all early twenties. I was driving, and we were just cruising the streets, turning this way and that, high spirits and chatting and laughing away. We came down off a hill joining one suburb to another, and turned off into a side street. It was a dead end street, in a pretty dark and deserted industrial area. We knew the street well, as it was short, but you wouldn't go down it if you didn't need to, as it only led to factories and such. It was late, perhaps a little after midnight. As we got about 50 metres or so in (maybe halfway), we all instantly stopped talking simultaneously, and every one of us, including myself, froze in what I can only describe as pure terror. I hit the brakes, and stopped in the middle of the road for a second, before slamming the car in reverse and stamping on the accelerator full tit in reverse, without even turning around, I couldn't even turn my head. To this day it's hard to describe why, in the normal light of day. My current wife (then just a friend) was in the car too, and she hates it if I even bring it up. All I can say is we sensed such a darkness, a dense evil beyond comprehension, right outside the car. A sense of an abysmal vanta-black presence in front and to the left of the car. Nothing visible to the naked eye, but with perfect post-event unified description by all 5 people in the car. None of us spoke for a good 20 minutes afterwards, and the night of fun was over. It was horrifying, and I will never go into that street again. A vague sense of some atrocious tortuous event that occurred there in the past maybe, don't know? And we were all very stable regular young people, no alcohol or drugs etc involved. I know spooky stuff probably wasn't on the menu, but that's sure it for me

Drive is 15 GB

I know modern audio purists probably still use them, but I completely forgot that sound cards were always an additional thing!

They love on them. Tap that bark.

HE SAID IT'S EGGS FOR BREAKFAST!

Funny this seems like an obvious choice for a device(?) in a movie, but I've never seen it used. Not with the voice of course. Anyone actually seen it used anywhere?

That's an amazing looking piece of engineering, doesn't look like it would take much to make some decent damage on it though.

I'm trying to wrap my head around 3.5km per second!

Sorry I don't know anything about guns, but is this the barrel getting smaller right at the end? What would happen if you were to fire a solid slug?

Not sure if it's a setting I've missed, but I use top 6 hour for the front page, which is great, but then when clicking into a post it still uses top 6 hour, which generally shows little activity or replies, until I then have to change it to active etc to see the whole thread. Am I just being dumb?

I have ADHD (sorry wrong club) and this is me. I'm literally playing on my phone in the bathroom at someone else's house on Christmas Day to reduce some people time.

You're right, clicked it away so many times over the years and never stopped to think what a silly statement that was. I feel like it was for a time when 10 was a new shiny 'mysterious' thing, that it might convince people into thinking it needed something special, but has just aged like milk.

Stand well back from the screen if on a pc, like at thumbnail size it's actually exceptional.

Wiggle the little stalk at the top, if it wiggles nicely, it's ripe. Takes a little to get the feel for wiggle to ripe ratio, but it's a really good indicator.

Sorry for ignorance, genuine question, how is this different to a short range missile?

Someone else in another thread I read recently, I think they worked for Microsoft at some point, said that it's due for different departments all competing for corporate attention. Doing the big new thing to keep their job. Rather than just fine tuning for performance or longevity. Something like that.

I do a tonne of copy paste for work and have one of these:

Works great!

Holy shit how fast is that missile!?

It adds to it, leave it!
