Theres also invisibility and dagger fighting; holding invis without releasing it makes it trigger after you swing
Meanwhile, in Morrowind you can just enchant a dagger to cast invisibility on strike all by itself. (Not sure if that’s still possible in the newer games or not.)
Yeah, that’d be among the duties of the engineering department.
I misread “hum” as “bum.”
Based on the post title I was expecting to say “no,” but that’s because I was also expecting “heliobiology” to be about sentient plasma eddies or something, not woo-woo magnetic bullshit somehow affecting humans.
No, seriously, even life inside stars is less implausible than the nonsense you’re asking about: https://www.sciencealert.com/physicists-argue-that-life-based-on-cosmic-strings-may-be-possible-inside-stars
But this was supposed to be a thread about getting banned from fun places, though.
Martok has a saber bear rug in his room. It’s not dead, you know, just scared like the rest of us.
Martok does not own an oven, stove, or microwave. That’s because revenge is a dish best served cold.
Martok doesn’t go hunting because the “hunting” implies that you might not succeed. Martok goes killing.
Martok can kill two stones with one lotlhmoq.
Martok was once bitten by a venomous mugato. After a month of excruciating pain, the mugato died.
If Martok fought a transporter duplicate of himself, they would both win.
In an average crewman’s quarters there are a hundred objects Martok could use to kill you. That includes the room itself.
Martok has never cheated death. He wins fair and square.
It’s also significantly more expensive than slate or a maverick.
Yeah, it seems like it’s in a different class than a Ranger/Maverick/Slate, at least in price if not size.
It also seems like they’re still in the “throw stuff at the wall and see what sticks” part of the design phase, talking about things like the midgate and the storage tunnel under the bed that might double as a footwell for third-row seating. Between that and the almost-cabover design (which I kinda like, but which would be pretty unpopular among people who care about crumple zones) I’m pretty skeptical that the Telo “truck” will make it to production, especially while keeping all those promised features and specs intact.
Edit: also also, I could be wrong, but I think there’s a point where towing capacity gets limited by how small the towing vehicle is in terms of weight and/or wheelbase, regardless of how strong its motor, brakes and frame might be. I’m a little concerned the Telo might be pushing that limit.
I can confirm that the Maverick is pretty much exactly the same size as a '90s Ranger, having parked my Ranger next to one before. The proportions are pretty different though, with the Maverick having a larger cab (four doors) and a proportionally smaller bed. A Maverick (and probably the other two you mentioned) would definitely be a good choice for people who think they need a truck for personal use.
However, there is one problem with all of those vehicles, which is that none of them are actually trucks.
You can tell the difference between a truck and a not-truck (a car-based “ute,” like an El Camino) by the fact that there’s no gap between the cab and the bed. Real trucks have body-on-frame construction, not a unibody, and can have the pickup bed replaced with custom flatbeds or utility beds or whatever.
In some sense it often doesn’t matter because a unibody ute would fit most people’s needs just fine. Until you want to do actual truck stuff, and then it matters. For example, the Slate Truck is rated to tow 1000 lbs, the Maverick is rated for 2000 lbs (or 4000 with the tow package), and a '90s Ranger is rated for up to 6000 lbs. (Mine can’t do that – it’s an I-4 manual 4x4, which is the worst configuration for towing – but an appropriately-configured V6 automatic 2WD one can.)
Meanwhile, I just still own a small pickup built in the '90s in 2025. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Bonne nuit!
but the discussion is usually not made in good faith
“Everybody who disagrees with me is a troll or a shill.”
Sure, buddy, because Free Software projects run by volunteers famously have huge guerilla marketing budgets. Won’t somebody think of the poor for-profit companies who first got their leg up by taking Free Software code they didn’t write and then subsequently gradually closed and enshittified it? They’re the real victims here.
God, what horrible lyrics.
Well, yeah.
But also maternity leave isn’t even in the law here in the US anyway (maybe some states have it for all I know, but even if so I doubt Texas is among them), so it’s equal-opportunity shittiness and the clause I cited doesn’t really apply.
I know they try to remain faithful to the original design, but I can’t help but wonder how hard it would be for the OpenMW devs
I would love it if, after OpenMW hits 1.0, they set a new goal of feature parity with Skyrim (or Skywind).
Every accusation is a confession with these fucks. And I do mean literally every single fucking one.
This is sexist against fathers and therefore unconstitutional.
Bill text:
Sec. 545.429. USE OF HIGH OCCUPANCY VEHICLE LANE BY CERTAIN OPERATORS. (a) Subject to Subsection (b), a female operator of a motor vehicle who is pregnant or is a parent or legal guardian of another person is entitled to use any high occupancy vehicle lane in this state regardless of the number of occupants in the motor vehicle.
Texas Constitution:
ARTICLE 1. BILL OF RIGHTS
Sec. 3a. EQUALITY UNDER THE LAW. Equality under the law shall not be denied or abridged because of sex, race, color, creed, or national origin. This amendment is self-operative.
What this would actually do (once the test case ruled that it would have to apply to fathers too) is destroy HOV lanes entirely by making everybody able to use them, since the state would have the burden of proof to show that the driver has never had children.
Why does it feel like all the worst people are working together to fuck over the world?
Lifetime is a hoax.
No, it’s fraud.
The difference is that one is a funny joke and the other is a criminal act that ought to land corporate executives in prison, if the US weren’t an oligarchy too corrupt to prosecute.
What do you mean, “illegal?” If the phone user consents to turning it on, that makes it legal.
I hate to defend Google, but I will absolutely defend single-party consent for recording. Don’t like it? Don’t fucking call me in the first place. It absolutely grinds my gears when shitty software (including from Google) plays an obnoxious warning message when I want to record a call, even though I have the right to do so without warning.
