  • Country?

    This is America.

    Liquor licenses are handled by the state or municipality.

    At this particular venue (Xfinity Center)…no, I don’t think so. Most of the vendors that are around are in carts with just beer, water, hard seltzer…maybe a canned cocktail or wine cooler.

    Maybe at the counter-service vendors, where you could get mixed drinks. Possibly.

    They do have water bottle stations though. And you can bring in one empty reusable bottle or one factory-sealed water bottle upto 1 gallon.

    Who tf thinks to bring water to a concert tho. You pregame in the parking lot and after your second or third $30 beer…then you realize you really need a water.


  • The only time I ever bought Liquid Death was at a concert. I paid $15 for a can. I don’t see any humor here. Literally the only option aside from walking all the way to damn near the parking lot for a water fountain.

    Probably the only time I felt more ripped off over water was when I willingly spent nearly that much for Gillywater at Universal Studios. Its just regular bottled water. Nothing special at all. At least those round coke bottles at Hollywood Studios were sorta novel.

    I do believe that would insinuate a desire to perform sodomy in a domineering fashion, over said person.

    Sodomy is of course inferred by the presumed gender of both individuals. There could of course be other penetrative sexual acts (as such is the strict connotation of the verb “fuck”, in this context), not necessarily sodomy, though barring other qualifiers, it is the default.

    To perform a penetrative sexual act, it is assumed that the person making the statement has a member capable of performing said act. This may be organic or prosthetic, and some may who have an organic member may choose to use a prosthetic, or elect a champion as part of the original phrasing (I.e. “fuck (subject) with a donkey dick”). What is important, however, is that the speaker has some capability of performing the penetrative sexual activity prior to making the statement, or, at a minimum, a concept of a plan.












  • This. Components would be overpriced and proprietary. Nobody wants that.

    Building and upgrading a computer really isn’t that difficult. All the parts only fit in one spot. Getting compatible parts can be tricky if you don’t know what you’re looking for…but this problem could strike this idea, too, because there would certainly need to be different generation mainboards whenever CPU sockets or chipsets or memory speed or really anything else on the mainboard comes around.

    So such a solution would likely lead to less choice and more proprietary vendor-locked garbage. Just now solely on the hardware side.

    But wait…what games are compatible with this system? What games will run well?

    This is something Valve has done really well…they built a benchmark system. This is the problem that’s been plagueing PC, imo. AAA games get built for bleeding edge tech, necessitating upgrades…while the steamdeck sets a bar that developers have to be playable on in order to tap that entire market. Could the game run better on better systems? Sure, probably. But it needs to be at least playable on steamdeck.




  • Trump voters wanted Survivor and got pedo-Dexter.

    Laziest fucking final season of any (mostly awesome, save for a couple seasons) show.

    So bad they had to write a whole new final season years later. Which also wasn’t that great. But still an improvement.

    Edit: you know, in retrospect, equating Trump to Dexter isn’t fair to Dexter. Dexter was an antihero, and even though we knew he was evil we still rooted for him. He’s more like…Trinity. Yeah. Trinity was the villain I loved to hate.



  • Fork the repo.

    Ask an LLM to rename all the variables and add comments and docstrings. Give it your style guide (assuming you have one).

    Ask another LLM to check their work.

    Done.

    Disclaimer: I’m not a programmer, I’m a network engineer who dabbles in automation and scripting. But it seems to me that grunt work like this is what LLMs are really good for.

    Also I only use short variable names inside of loops (for i in iterable…). Is that not how it should be done?
