The original Team Fortress was a mod of HL1. TF2 was built on the Source engine directly by Valve, so it technically was never a mod, but it has its roots in the original mod.

I mean, not that forbidden, they’re plenty edible. The article even briefly mentions them being used as empanada filling.

Weed is not for everyone, and that’s okay.

I’d be interested to see a breakdown of this trend by states where marijuana is legalized vs. where it isn’t.

Huh, surprised I haven’t heard about that. Shame it’s so easy to circumvent, though. I feel like there has to be a better way to make something like that harder to defeat.

I feel like it would’ve been pretty simple to embed a forward-facing LED in the frames that turns on whenever the camera is capturing… Designing that LED such that it couldn’t be disabled, covered, or removed might be trickier, but it would’ve been an easy way for Meta to show they were at least trying to prevent them from being used by creeps.

Except CMC, who seemed to become less injury-prone after joining the Niners. Somehow.

I suppose prescribing alcohol makes sense in these situations for tracking and controlling the dosage and frequency of use. Feels odd to just… use cans of commercial beer, though. In a hospital setting (which this pic looks like), wouldn’t it be cheaper and more effective to use small amounts of neutral grain spirits or something? Could be watered down to mitigate the dehydrating effect (and prevent OD if someone sneaks into the supply). It’s not like the taste matters, right?

I maintain to this day that they had barely started on anything relating to the actual game when the teaser was released, and it was entirely just an attempt to save face from FO76’s disastrous launch.

Anton is such an incredible developer and human being. He’s been so incredibly dedicated and focused on his vision for the game, while also being so open, transparent, and communicative about its development process. And, of course, he’s so good at embracing the sillier side of things without it ever feeling fake or forced.

I only learned of the game just last year, but seeing videos on it was the last push I needed to commit to getting a VR headset, and it has captured, by far, the vast majority of my total VR playtime.

Wonderful.

Turns out wars are won by the people who would really rather not be at war

It was a 5-year deal signed in 2022, so it’ll expire after the '27 season. They will probably cut him after the '26 season ends, though, since there wouldn’t be any future years of the deal that could apply as extra dead money.

I think op thought it was a beaver.

I feel like the “make yourself think it’s critical” bit is the hard part.

Got a good facepalm out of my wife with this one. Thanks!

They also used the word “chug,” which is almost certainly an exaggeration to some degree, but it certainly implies more than two, IMO.

Having a drink to calm the nerves is one thing, but spending several minutes taking shots of vodka before a date sounds like straight-up alcoholic behavior. Unless OP is greatly exaggerating, either she has a massive tolerance, or she would end up a drunken mess in front of her date, which would probably be much worse than a case of the nerves.

I appreciate what wasps do for the environment, but I’m fairly sure that I’m genuinely somewhat phobic of them, presumably stemming from getting stung by one when I was like 3 or 4. It’s become more manageable to an extent as I’ve gotten older, but to this day, seeing or especially hearing a wasp nearby still stirs a bit of fight-or-flight reflex in me.

I don’t go out of my way to kill them unless they’re actively nesting on my house or something, but I do wish them a very “go do your thing, just far away from me personally.”

Yeah, the time between the Draft and the start of the preseason is the slowest and least interesting time of the year as far as NFL news, but the 24-hour news cycle always needs something to fixate on.

Was fully prepared to believe this until I saw the satire tag
