impudentmortal,

If this style of writing is your thing, there’s a webcomic/book by Nathan Pyle that you would like. Here’s his website if you want to check his social media.

what's a good way to stick a laser leveler to the wall?

I have a laser level that I’d like to use for lining up pictures on my wall. I’m doing this by myself otherwise I just have someone else hold it. It has a couple holes in it that look like maybe you could use screws or nails and I’d rather not have to put holes in the wall to do this. Any suggestions?

Also depending on how heavy the leveler is, he can use painters tape. It’s meant to be placed in the wall temporarily and not damage the paint on the wall.

Edit: added a very important “not”

impudentmortal,

Thimbleweed Park seems to fit your criteria. One of the reviews even compares it to Twin Peaks. It’s a point and click murder mystery adventure game with where you have to switch between 5 characters.

It’s been years since I’ve played but I think the setting was in a fake Northwest Pacific town.

Fun fact, the names in the phone book and the titles/stories of the books in the library came from Kickstarter backers. Some of the books were pretty funny.

She said her homeowner’s insurance won’t cover anything pest-related because they deem it preventable.

So the real monster was the insurance company. What a twist!

impudentmortal,

During its weekend convention, the Arizona GOP also passed a resolution to censure Pence and former Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley for “their dereliction of duty of refusing to support President Donald J. Trump and by default supporting the democrats.”

An equally concerning, if not more concerning, move by the Arizona GOP was to punish Republicans who didn’t support Trump. Neither Pence nor Haley endorsed Trump for president and that is apparently a bigger crime than trying to overturn an election or being removed from office for ethics violations.

impudentmortal,

Do you have proof of this? I tried searching but I only get articles related to this incident.

impudentmortal,

I have a Homer clock that would say a Homer quote every hour. My grandpa got it for me at a garage sale so it meant a lot that he remembered something I liked. Since he said the same unique quote for every hour, I could tell what time it was based on the quote.

Unfortunately I had to put the clock in storage since it stopped working. The second hand kept getting stuck, even with new batteries.

I also have a pair of Homer slippers. I wore the hell out of them in college. I had to buy a new pair recently because of how worn out they were.

“For the Terminator with only 4/5 of a second to get ready”

YSK there is a condition that makes your armpits smell worse called trichobacteriosis that is common and easy to treat

I was talking about hygiene with my partner who is a nurse and they were telling me that a lot of people remark that their armpits are smelling worse than normal and they are using more and more deodorant and people just think it is normal....

impudentmortal,

I’d agree with the exception of artists who sell their printed work (ex: photographers, graphic designers). They’re not only making money from their prints but also printing in color frequently enough that the cartridge doesn’t dry out.

impudentmortal,

Interesting read. Never thought about how the emotions of songs have changed. I wish they discussed more on how the different ways people listen to music affects the complexity of the song lyrics.

They briefly mention how most people listen to music as background noise and that the first 10-15 seconds are crucial to whether people listen to the song or skip it.

But there are also other factors I wished they mentioned like how easily accessible songs are (you don’t have to go out and buy a physical copy) or other types of audio competition (like audio books or podcasts). Since musicians have to try to appeal to as many people as possible to compete with so many other choices for people to listen to, the lyrics have gotten simpler and more repetitive/catchy.

But I guess it’s not so much an explanation of why lyrics have changed but proof that it has.

impudentmortal,

Generally love that type of humor too but it’s less funny if the person making the joke insults the other person. Because then it makes it seem like the joker does not get that there’s two meanings in the phrase, like how the original commenter noted. It makes the joker seem condescending and oblivious.

Saying these types of jokes with a straight face would be much funnier than if the joker was mean spirited. Leslie Nielsen was a master at this.

impudentmortal,

Objectively speaking, Vietnamese is much easier to learn for an English speaker too since they also use the Latin alphabet.

Not sure how many Vietnamese speakers are in the UK though.

impudentmortal,

True, but I was comparing it to Mandarin and Cantonese (OP didn’t say which Chinese language but I assume it’s one of these). Both of them are also tonal languages from what I understand so in that way they are all different from English.

However, Vietnamese is easier since the characters are more recognizable. Listening to movies/shows with subtitles makes it easier to understand and it’s easier to pick up reading Vietnamese than reading Chinese.

The issue here though, is that for OP it seems like Chinese is the more practical language to learn since their “friends” also speak it.

impudentmortal,

The Iris Rev 8 might be just what you’re looking for. In any case, I think the term you’re looking for is “hotswapable” since you want DIY without soldering.

Personally, I have the Ergodox EZ and I love it. It almost meets all of your requirements but I think it’s more than 40%.

impudentmortal,

“The ending isn’t any more important than any of the moments leading to it” from To the Moon.

Haven’t played that game in over a decade but I still remember it being such a great emotional roller-coaster.

It’s $2 on steam right now and has such a great story and soundtrack for that price. It’s only about 4-6 hours but the memory of the story will last for much longer.

impudentmortal,

I hope you like it! After you beat it, I would suggest watching people’s reactions to the ending. It’s pretty cathartic to see
