Someone correct me if Im wrong, but arent these things built to handle twice their official limit. Like, they say the lines can only handle 250 lbs, but in reality, isnt that closer to 500 lbs?

It feels like something like that should be an obvious design choice. A 250 lbs limit seems too low for a somewhat dangerous thing like zip lining.

Papa Roach WWE RAW intro used to get me hyped. It was so different from all the gritty RAW intros. This also started a trend of shitty ass punk WWE intro music yuck.

This was such a good theme. People seem to mostly be nostalgic for Across the Nation but this was easily my favourite. Though I did also like the Nickelback one.

Apparently they went back to Papa Roach a few years ago

What if: Because you say no and become a millionaire, you start wisely using the money and make more, then decide you need to give back to your local community and become very involved with volunteering and charity drives and what not. Now, everyone loves your giving nature, and it attracts the attention of a certain congresswoman who is in town for a rally. She meets you to say she loves what you're doing and wants to help you succeed. Suddenly, the two of you are working close together, tight spaces, long hours, and you start to feel something... different. Maybe she does too. The longer this goes, the less you can think about anything but her, and she's getting ready for a big in congress and needs to leave soon. You try begging her to stay and she stops you then and there, comes up real close, and says "you shouldn't have picked the money". She goes back home and you never see her again, while you throw more and more money away, hoping for a return that will never come.

Bill should know "phobic" has had multiple meanings for a LONG TIME. Bill's justification is basically "I don't want to be called Islamophobic". Like words change over time, that's how language works, and Bill wants it to be like the 90s when he was "too far left"

The lack of political influence to make a policy happen in the legislature does not legitimize forcing it through the courts instead.

And Joe Manchin is just one of 100 senators. If Democrats can't win a solid majority, then they need to work with Republicans to make bills that are palatable to them. Is there really no action on climate change they could agree too? How do Republicans feel about expanding nuclear power, I wonder? That doesn't seem to have much of a party alignment. But you won't see that tried because none of the Democrats, not just Joe Manchin, care about doing anything. They just want to stay in power. Changing nothing while finding someone to pin the blame on suits them perfectly.

Republicans don't have any values anymore except **** the dems.

A little late to the party, but the Jurassic Park one isnt really bad. Its from pre-Walking Dead, so its different from all the later games with a lot more acclaim (think, a LOT more quick time events) but I enjoyed it enough.

Are any of the Book of Fable entries missable btw? Not really a trophy hunter but when the goal is so easy to reach I usually go for it.

Theres usually a couple you need to go out of your way a bit to find. You could easily find all of them in a chapter depending on how you play, but youd probably also need a guide.

Also, for Batman, Noir/Shadows mode is the exact same game just in black and white, right?

Yep. I dont know if its worth the extra money it usually costs, but if you already have it, definitely play shadows mode. The Black/White filter honestly adds a lot.

I started playing bass in early high school (like ~8 years ago now?), though I kind of faded out when I started Uni and just started picking it back up again. I never totally put it down, but there was definitely a good 3-4 years where I barely touched it.

Idk what model, but a cheap Peavey 200$ Bass, its nothing special.
I have a Positive Grid Spark amp that has a Bluetooth connection to my phone and I can basically give it a bunch of pedals and stuff through the app its pretty fun to play with.

I got into bass because I was playing guitar before I started and didnt really like the Lead guitar so much and hated soloing (I was also horrible at it, which probably has a part in it) and was like lets do the Rhythym, but MORE.

I was also told that bass was the balls of a song and thats enough for 14 year old me.

I was super into the band Sick Puppies, and the girl who plays bass would do this super cool thing where she basically juggled between using a Pick and Slapping/Popping and I thought it was just the coolest thing ever and I still try to hide my pick in one of my fingers and randomly shift between them when I play.

Also the repel theory doesn't make sense if you think about it; repel only works if the wild pokemon is lower leveled than the lead pokemon in your party. So if she has no lead pokemon, then it's safe to assume her applied "lead pokemon" level is zero, thus rendering the repel useless.

Or, not having a lead pokemon instead made the counter roll-over backwards into 255, meaning that Repels work perfectly for her forever until she actually gets a pokemon.

Snorlax had basically everything you could want in a Gen 2 competitive pokemon. Great bulk, great attack, CURSE (probably the best boosting move at the time), and enough variability that you couldn't really counter it.

So Snorlax was basically a pokemon you more or less needed on every team if you wanted a "good" pokemon team.

Tauros was similarly OP in Gen 1.
