And don’t worry, it definitely wasn’t completely written a thousand years later to push the preferred political agendas of the time.

It’s a flexible standard. 2026-05-10T10:06:09.426792Z, 2026-05-10 10:06:09.426792Z, 2026-05-10 10:06:09.426792 , and 2026-05-10 all conform to the standard.

If only there were some international standards organization to make a decision for us!

Look 'm in the eye and say M A C A B. It’s not about repeating the alphabet, it’s about asserting dominance.

Don’t forget to tip!

Yeah, maybe not a good AA example, just couldn’t think of a second one off the top of my head.

AA is a game that is a normal full sized game, but was made on a budget that limited scope. Good examples are the Metro series or Balatro. AAA is your normal games with big budgets. AAAA is a special title for Skull and Bones, it means you spend a gigantic amount of money and make sure the whole thing sucks.

I think the real answer is that Tom Cruise is funneling a shit load of production money to himself. Why else would you be director, producer, and lead actor in a movie?

Kind of amazing anyone backed it for any amount of money, the last one was miserably bad.

Actual museum curators track these kind of events, and have budgets to re-collect them later. That’s how we found the new chapter of Gilgamesh a few years ago. It was unidentified in Iraq museum, stolen during the 2003 invasion, then bought by a curator for less than $1000.

They’re usually free on airplanes, probably free there too, especially since yes, you always have portable alternatives.

The “Thick as a Brick” effect

I feel like throwing a fit about the political alignment of a platform fundamentally built on democratic principles is always a self-own. “It’s not fair that people don’t upvote my unpopular opinions!”

That’s actually not a big deal for blimps. Blimps don’t lose a lot of helium, they only need to be serviced for if like once a year. When people say we have a helium crisis, they’re talking about high-purity helium for advanced medical work and advanced science.

Gay: anon plays Minecraft instead of having sex with women.

You must be new here?

No they are, the dinosaur just didn’t want to have anything to do with Chris Pratt.

Because “the markets open at 9” is an international standard that everyone can count on. You could stagger it so that one country’s market opens at 10, then another at 12, and so on, but then what if one country chooses a different standard? What if a restaurant picks a different convention than businesses in one area? Time zones are great because once you understand them, you’ll always know how time works locally, anywhere in the world with a single piece of information, it’s a truly successful standard.

According to the latest reports, he still doesn’t know they happened because he regularly doesn’t attend his own security briefings. Not to worry though, he’ll be fully briefed this evening when Fox and Friends covers it tonight.

Everyone from Poland each has to do it for a week as a form of compulsory service.

The black stuff is tar, so based on crude oil. This is just oil lobbying by another name.
