Gwen Stacey died of whiplash when Spidey tried to catch her with a web shot and she stopped too fast, snapping her neck.

I wouldn’t say startrek.website is a major instance anymore. A lot of their usebase migrated to .world’s Ten Forward community.

Pineapples are compound berries.

Honestly, the mouse charger screams marketing or management. Apple’s brand is partially form over function.

So as the year 1900 rolls around, I control 1/3 of the map landmass as territory under the work of my cities I cover the entirety of a large dorito shaped continent

However, one of the other human players has just researched nuclear theory and I’ve just figured out Great war infantry. I still have not caught up but I have made massive gains.

Well, there’s your problem. Civ 5 had a thing where research took more science points to complete the more cities you had. The ideal number of cities to own was five. If you had even a single city over that, even if science output was maxed out in all cities, it would take longer to research anything than for a player with only five cities.

Religion victories in Civ are poorly telegraphed in general. You can easily look at the minimap and see that someone is conquering everything, and poking at a player’s borders will show you that they’re technologically advanced, but religion and culture victories tend to sneak up on people.

In an early draft where there were blob alien things instead of humans. By the time they replaced them with humans they had reduced the fleet to a single ship.

They probably didn’t. It’s a single ship, not that big, and they only used one language on it.

And then you have horses, which originated there, migrated to Eurasia, went extinct in the Americas, and then were reintrouduced thousands of years later.

But, confusingly, an LED TV is an LCD TV. An LED TV is just an LCD TV that uses an LED array for the backlight instead of florescent lights. Quantum dot or QLED displays are also just LCDs with a fancy backlight. OLED displays are the ones that actually have glowing subpixels.

They’re on .world, which defederated ages ago.

Sauron, the Dark Lord?

I think some of them just lack people skills. I had this one manager that nobody liked and was rather prickly, but she very quickly kicked out an asshole customer and then immediately checked to make sure I was okay after. She cared, and actually did more for us than most of the rest of management, but her people skills were terrible.

Don’t forget the mayo mentioned in the last line.

Totally on board, but you can’t have Yakko and Wakko without Dot.

I’ve seen ones modded into a laptop form factor. Does that not count?

I don’t offer it to my friends, but only because I eat it all before they get near me.

It’s not like they built the car, though.

The best bit about the mint and chocolate thing is that chocolate is also poison, so we spice up our poison with more poison.

Most railings I’ve seen really need to be higher. If the top isn’t higher than your center of gravity, there’s very little preventing you from going over.
