Topic | My crazy predictions for the June Nintendo Direct |
rjsilverthorn 06/08/24 1:30:14 AM #32 | GameReviews posted... This post feels so like... 2006. I feel like the hype around these types of events is just non-existent anymore. Nobody really treats them seriously since E3 died.Nintendo Directs always fared a bit better because they are typically announcing things that are more immediately relevant rather than things that are potentially years in the future. |

rjsilverthorn 06/06/24 8:24:49 PM #5 | I said no even before I read that it involved stealing time from other people. Living forever is highly over-rated. |

Topic | How many beers before you go 'ah, that was nice' and 'guess i'm drinkin now'? |
rjsilverthorn 06/05/24 5:17:30 PM #18 | EatMan posted... Get better beer! What are you usually grabbing?I have tried every type of beer my beer snob friends have offered and I've yet to find a beer I enjoy. |
Topic | How many beers before you go 'ah, that was nice' and 'guess i'm drinkin now'? |
rjsilverthorn 06/05/24 11:49:50 AM #10 | adjl posted... Not really. Harder drinks tend not to accompany meals as clearly as beers or wines do (though depending on how you mix them that can very easily change), but quite a few desserts or snacks pair very nicely with liquors. Bread pudding with whiskey, rum with anything fruity, pretty much anything with the right kind of chocolate... That becomes even more true when you start getting into flavoured liquors like Bailey's, kirsch, or Grand Marnier (like a 1:1 mix of Bailey's and Kahlua goes fantastically with tiramisu). That's no more "I'm drinking now" than it is to pair a glass of red wine with spaghetti and meatballs, provided you aren't drinking more than you can claim is needed to provide a complementary flavour to the food. And while mixed drinks don't pair with meals in the traditional sense, there are still plenty of restaurants that offer them with meals. My wife and I went out for dinner last night and she had an Old Fashioned with the meal and that was it. |

Topic | length of recess |
rjsilverthorn 06/04/24 4:35:43 PM #6 | It was a VERY long time ago so I have no idea. I'm pretty sure we only ever had one recess per day though. |
Topic | Which website is more important to you: YouTube or Wikipedia |
rjsilverthorn 06/03/24 5:30:42 PM #5 | I go to Wikipedia a lot, but I struggle to think of any time I've used it for something meaningful. Most of the time I go there I'm reading the summary of a movie plot or something. While I do a lot of meaningless stuff with YouTube, I do also use it for useful things. I just watched a video the other day to figure out how to replace the battery in my thermostat because there was literally zero indication on how to access the batteries on the device itself. |
Topic | Why does it seem like Nintendo youtubers only play Nintendo games? |
rjsilverthorn 06/03/24 12:28:20 PM #2 | Or is the algorithm just recommending youtubers that only play Nintendo games because it assumes that is what you want based on what you were watching? The world may never know. |

Topic | How many shots are in a 750ml bottle? |
rjsilverthorn 05/30/24 5:11:04 PM #11 | A normal shot like tequila is around 40% ABV (on average in the US), so a shot of this stuff would be a little under half a shot of hard liquor. Using a shot size of 44ml, which is the high end of the US average, would give you the 17 shots that several people have quoted previously. So that whole bottle would be roughly equivalent to 7-8 shots of tequila. |

Topic | Do kids still go to Summer Camp? |
rjsilverthorn 05/23/24 5:59:26 PM #4 | Some of my nieces and nephews went to summer camps when they were younger, so I think they are still around. I think there are more specific camps than there used to be, I know one of my cousins sent his daughter to an equestrian camp. |

rjsilverthorn 05/19/24 12:19:56 AM #2 | It is older than 12 states: North Dakota South Dakota Montana Washington Idaho Wyoming Utah Oklahoma New Mexico Arizona Alaska Hawaii Apparently that is rookie numbers in Japan though, since the oldest company in Japan is 1443 years old. |

rjsilverthorn 05/09/24 3:59:34 PM #7 | Most of the parking issues I run into are in private lots, which probably wouldn't be covered by the app. Give me a way to report people being assholes while driving though and I'd be all over that even without a reward. |

Since I'd been working outside I wanted to clean it so I dumped hydrogen peroxide on it...ouch. |

Topic | You have a royal flush and opponent just made a bet of $10,000 |
rjsilverthorn 05/03/24 5:01:43 PM #6 | It would depend on a number of factors like what other cards are in the river. Only thing that beats a royal flush would be four of a kind, so if there is no pair showing in the river then I should have the highest possible hand at the table. |

rjsilverthorn 05/01/24 5:15:24 PM #11 | I'm actually surprised our's hasn't failed yet, it was here when we bought the house back in 2009. Fortunately it is in the basement so if it does fail it will just drain right to the sump pit. |
