My father took my mother with to pick out her ring. She insisted on a smaller diamond. He wanted to buy her a larger rock, could afford it, but my mama was thinking about running a household. As newlyweds, they added a room to the house, bought a brand new washer/dryer set and paid off a car.

5·4 days agoIf I got the history right, it was kind of the wacky gotcha concept of the show early on, but famously humorless Alex Trebek took over and the show got weirdly prestigious and that rule stayed in place and kind of devolved into a verbal tic. whatis The answer?

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Would wrapping a house in giant Saran wrap to prepare for a hurricane be a really good idea, or a really bad one?English
11·8 days agoIn both cases, borrowing the words of stand-up drunkard Ron White, “It’s not that the wind is blowing; it’s what the wind is blowing.”
The house itself should be well waterproofed, the problems come from broken windows, punctured roof due to falling trees, or in a tornado, just being pushed over.

1·8 days agoWell open world sims might not be for you.
Arcade titles tend to have simpler stories and more immediate juicier primary gameplay loops. A very arcade-y game I like is Unrailed!. It’s always hilarious with a group of friends. You might also check out Vampire Survivors, it’s kind of a reverse bullet hell.
All cats, from the mightiest tiger to the tiniest kitten, all run on the same software. They conduct themselves with seriousness and poise.
While engaging in shenanigans such as these.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•On what specific episode does your favorite "I swear it eventually gets really good" television show actually start turning around?English
1·9 days agoI mostly disagree, I can see where you’re coming from. Farscape has a lot of adventure of the week episodes that don’t really matter…and they genuinely don’t. Like I, E.T or Thank God It’s Friday, Again. Those keep happening though, like Take The Stone in Season 2. Farscape occasionally makes episodes that are good sci-fi but not very good television.
Most of the way through Season 1, Scorpius is introduced. Crais’ story has no froo froo symbolism, it’s a simple tale of a man who hates a guy. Scorpius is much more interesting as an overall villain because 1. he has motivations beyond the main cast, 2. he’s actually right and we’d be on his side if he wasn’t such an apocalyptic shitbastard about everything and 3. Harvey is the best character on the show. The overall plot kinda doesn’t exist until Scorpius shows up. But most of the season before it isn’t mandatory homework. There’s even an episode, I think it’s the three parter Liars, Guns and Money, where they recruit a bunch of the enemies they met over the early episodes, and kill most of them off, they head off to a different region and a lot of the lore built up to then is discarded.

2·9 days agoMost of Babylon 5’s first season really feels like discount store-brand Star Trek substitute. The show really starts to get its feet under itself somewhere around A Voice in the Wilderness and the Season 1 finale Chrysalis is the episode for which the term “wham episode” was coined.
B5 has the unique problem that it’s crap season 1 is kind of necessary homework for the rest of the show; it’s one continuous story, but on first watch the first season doesn’t feel like that because it’s a bunch of stuff that happens that comes into play later. So unlike TNG you can’t tell someone “just start at season 2.” You have to sit through the first season.

3·9 days agoIt starts out pretty good. It’s not like TNG or something where you’d say “No, start at season 3, and just don’t watch Code Of Honor.” The Good Place starts out watchable and fun, and then the season 1 finale has an “Oh SHIT!” moment and then you’ve gotta finish it.

315·12 days agoSo, guys don’t care about a girls income that much. There’s an entire subculture of men that prefers or demands being the sole breadwinner of their families. I’m going to say the word “tradwife” and consider my point made.
Guys will go for an unemployed girl. Pretty and nice will get you a man. Which weren’t you?
Mind you, when I was in college I tutored freshman chemistry for an hour on Wednesdays and made more than $25/week at it; how delusional was your business plan?

4·13 days agoHumpback whales are able to navigate exceptionally well and I don’t think science knows how.
Humpback whales travel by picking a direction and traveling in that direction. They can maintain a true course to within a degree of accuracy for hundreds of miles regardless of location on the planet, ocean currents, magnetic variation, day or night, though open empty ocean.
I know how to do that, but I need stuff the whales don’t have like visual reference to a solid surface, accurate charts, radio-based navaids, winds aloft forecasts, and/or gyroscopic instruments. Most of the time, most creatures either navigate by landmarks, some are able to navigate magnetically, some can home, ie they can sense a destination and point their noses at it and go that way, as forces such as winds, ocean currents, Coriolis force etc. push them off course they steer to keep the destination dead ahead, tracing a half-teardrop course.
But humpbacks can pick a direction and go perfectly straight. Somehow.

I have a grey cat that seems to melt at about 78F. I keep my house air conditioned to 74 and she loafs. Heat it up much beyond that and she sprawls.
