Sounds like a terminally online dweeb doesn't like "normies" getting into whatever makes him a special widdle boy.

Seriously though, I love it when someone that knows very little about what I'm an expert in engages me about it. I get to discuss things I like without having to worry if I'm boring someone that already knows or has heard it a thousand times.

Go sit in the corner until you've learned not to comment on something you're totally ignorant about.

(Afroman is a dickhead though)

Yeah, we're always going to need plastics, metallurgical coal, and some LNG but if we're not extracting it anywhere near the current volume to meet energy needs would we meet the world's helium needs, and if not I wonder what we would do with all the LNG as a byproduct of helium extraction?

I didn't realize the world's supply of helium was almost totally a byproduct of LNG extraction. If we manage to completely abandon fossil fuels are there other sources that we don't exploit now because it's not economical? Would we still need to extract LNG to get helium? What would we do with the useless LNG?

Maybe there's another layer if you know who he is but I think it's just some fucking guy and the point is the words and his facial expression/body language.

I have no idea how I made it through that entire series. I don't even remember anything about the ending, other than relief. Right from the beginning I was constantly telling my wife "these are the stupidest criminals ever".

The scroll bar is on the right so this is intuitive to me.

Don't think of it mimicking a scroll wheel, think of it mimicking a knob. The right side of the knob goes down when turning clockwise. If the scroll bar was on the left it would correspond to the left side of the knob and clockwise would be up (or at least should be).

I know not everyone would find this intuitive. My wife and I both bought the same make of car twice in a row (before wireless car play and android auto so we used the native ui) and the new ones moved the scroll bar on the infotainment from the left to the right, making clockwise change from up to down. I adapted in a day because it was obvious that moving a slightly curved bar on the right is clockwise for down but it frustrated my wife for several months until she got used to it.

Edit: also volume generally goes left to right which tracks with the top of the knob for me so clockwise is up.

I'm not sure if this is available everywhere, but in California you can put up a bond in lieu of insurance with the DMV, either with your own money or with a surety bond company.

So you can do it, they just require proof in the form of the bond that the money is available when needed. They won't just take your word for it. They might take the word of a company with a $1.3 trillion market cap, which is probably a bad idea. You get hit with one of these fuckers and instead of the admittedly shitty but known process of dealing with an insurance company, now you have to deal with a huge company that doesn't want to admit their dumb camera only system is at fault.

What is there to breach? You're already exposing your your real identity when you post under your real name with this new requirement. As long as the methods for verifying your identity aren't something scammers can exploit there is nothing to expose. If, for example, you could use your photo ID with everything but your pic and name covered, and maybe also birth year for age checks, all it does is remove the ability for people to be cunts with impunity.

I'd have to give it some more thought, but I'm not against this right away. The Internet has become a vile place. Maybe if you wouldn't say something in public for everyone to hear, you shouldn't post it either.

How the fuck am I just learning that toasters can have little racks on top for croissants?

I assume you can't actually bake them like this. This is just for reheating them while keeping them crispy and flaky, right?

I'm not sure if it was intended as behavioral engineering to encourage slowing down at crosswalks, but even if it's unintentional, I consider it a feature.
