If you mean the qwerty keyboard, it's a holdover from typewriters, intended to set the most commonly used letters in a way to minimize jamming of machines. Modern keyboards just have it set up that way because it eased the transition of technology. If you're just being clever... I c wat u did thar.

A bit. Talib Kweli, Common, Yasiin Bey, Eminem, Childish Gambino, and Lupe Fiasco round out the artists that I pay attention to when they put out a track. Although Kendrick Lamar is trying to slip onto that list, and I'm inclined to let him.

So was and were are both correct. English, y'all.

Oh no, the context can be read two ways but has the same meaning depending on emphasis.

It is genuinely incredible how little reading comprehension is exhibited by that tweet, and the responses. It makes me upset about how right Einstein was about infinity.

Ooh, yeah, I need the energy in my music, and I'm slow to warm to ballads (outside of Chris's. If I could marry someone's singing voice, it would be his).

I do dabble quite a bit, but if I were to name music I never tire of, it would be Josh Homme(of QSOTA and Eagles of Death Metal fame)'s discography, Chris Cornell, The Pillows, and Billy Talent.

Seeing BTS Army skeets popping up recently, and honestly, one of the best fan bases to come to thus platform as a whole. Like, Kpop isn't for me, but I think the BTS fans are really great. And it's another sign of the ongoing crumble of Twitter. I'm glad to see y'all, BTS Army.

Wonderful! That looks like... pioneer? Admittedly, my skills in identifying what format a 60 card deck is in is purely on mana sources. I only know how to play 60 card formats because of close proximity to an L1 judge. (Dirty deleted my first reply because I inverted the judge level, oop)

This is why I'm terrified to switch bathrooms, particularly because I am not passing by most perception metrics. Also why I am a big advocate for unisex washrooms.

...as one of those non-southern whites, I've got a local supplier (called Gindo's) who makes these hot sauces for flavor, and I couldn't be happier. Never had a bad batch from them, and they are constantly making interesting small batch varieties. The 'salt the earth' varieties aren't my cuppa.

And this was why I hated STP at the time. And kinda don't like 'em now. Ofc, I hate Pearl Jam too, for the reason of, even if everyone else outside of Nirvana and Soundgarden sounded like STP, every Pearl Jam song was played to death and beyond.

...I now understand something about passive aggression that I didn't before. I've asked some questions in a weaponised format where I had an expectation of what the answer would be and also a genuine need to know. I need to change how I ask questions so I actually get the answer.

The Pink Panther films with Peter Sellers are unquestionably in this category. How these aren't at the top of mentions when they even came out in a similar time period to Murder by Death, I don't understand.

Oh yay, Google added Gemini AI to the default android phone texting. Amazing how the first thing I type in to search 'how do I remove', the first result is 'Gemini AI'. Whomst could have predicted that? Anyway, now I'm looking at options for a different text messaging shell.

Note that this line of inquiry comes from someone who has not touched a Blizzard product for the better part of a decade, so comparisons to D3 mean nothing to me.

What makes the current season any different from any other ARPG out there as far as gearing goes? I can't think of any that don't have a floor level spreadsheet requirement to be able to have good endgame outcomes, and that goes for older Diablo games as well.

From the U.S., that hurts to witness; it's trying to emulate our system, which is... not a good thing to emulate.

The whole 'more funding for police' thing... that's a public negative wrapped in false advertising. On top of the other deflections.
