I don't think I've picked up on what a frat house actually is.

I can order 300 kW off ebay with free shipping for like... 80-100 AUD. Absolutely wild

It is probably the best of the shows I'm currently pirating

I pretty much haven't drunk since getting a car about 6 weeks ago

That's in the range of "people accidentally selected this option"

I've periodically repeated the mantra "do the responsible thing" when I'm really bored and struggling with self-motivation. It sometimes has gotten me to get up and water the plants or sort my laundry.

People who feel like if the revolution happens, it will happen "for real" in rich western nations first, or in one of their allies countries (e.g. rojava).

Failed my driving test. I feel like my anxiety regarding the test conditions is making me much worse. Despite having more practice than last time, I did way worse. :(

Blue, black, and then either yellow or brown.

This is assuming the lack of a need for sleep gives you the corresponding lack of exhaustion.

Yes, it keeps me up at night when I revisit the events 5 years later

That's honestly really impressive. Also gives me some ideas if I ever get the 3d printer up and running again

I feel like I'd fail at least once.

I will play when they add Dark Eldar in 2030

Given how the previous games went, we'll probably see other factions sold as expansions/new games/DLC pretty regularly. Assuming it does well

Hey, I know that guy

I will probably play it regardless :(

A thing I've noticed but haven't seen talked about a lot:

If you're a shitty government with shitty economics etc. you'll want to have more powerful weapons in the hands of less troops. It's easier to ensure the loyalty of a few thousand people with good pay, perks etc. compared to an army of several million. The more powerful the weapon, the more loyal you want its wielder. Definitely don't want an F-22 wandering across the border because a pilot's pay didn't go through.

Over time, this tendency seems to produce an over reliance on small numbers of technically complex weapons. During peacetime, these machines don't get pushed to the limit, so their actual combat efficacy is unknown (particularly compared to machines produced towards reliability and mass production).

A little example I remember is from Ukraine, where the Germans sent their modern howitzers. These howitzers could be extremely accurate, but with how much they got used and increased wear on the barrel, they rapidly became just another howitzer despite their increased cost and technical complexity.

Damn, that's going to suck

Or a second hand car. Some of those senator lobbying fees are shockingly low
