how could it be anything but physical?

The sound? Well, ultimately sounds are just those hairs and your cochlea and eardrum and all that getting hit by vibrations in the air and sending signals to your brain which get interpreted; damage the equipment so it sends signals even when there's no vibrations in the air hitting it, and you have your non-physical sound. Same way phantom limb syndrome works.

However what if the damage doesn't cause signals in the absence of sound? What if tinnitus is actually the cochlea itself (or something/s in the apparatus anyway) physically vibrating and producing that whining sound? Like a mosquito's wings beating.

Piss ant. You know what a piss ant is--

Leon, you know what a piss ant is? A piss ant is an insect that has no value, but it smells like piss.

You know, at least a cocksucker can do something. Suck cock. But a piss ant just sits there in the door jamb, smelling like piss.

The original point of winter celebrations was to get through the long dark nights and bitter cold with the warmth of family and friends. So, who the fuck cares about the window dressing? (Pun not intended but I'm keeping it anyway)

Oh, absolutely. It's very cool technology! Molten salt is corrosive as fuck, but that just kinda makes molten salt solar towers even more awesome.

And some of it is boiling salt!

Which then boils water, of course.

But some of it is electrons from photonic impact, no water involved! In the process of energy generation anyway. Statistically and perhaps somewhat ironically, the electrons from that photonic impact may well be used to boil water regardless... Humans just fucking love boiling water.

I recently bought a DVD box set of Hell Girl off eBay thinking it was the official release (derp, I know). The printing on the discs and packaging looks professional, and the audio/video quality is fine, but the English subtitles are just atrocious. From what I'm finding online the official subs are meant to be quite good. This is why I'm not sure it's the official release. Can anyone share SRT files or where to get them for the complete seasons 1-2? I have them for seasons 3 and 4, but I can't seem to find English SRTs for more than one or two episodes of the first two seasons.

Alternatively, if anyone knows where to get an official release set for under $100 US, that would be awesome too. Thanks!

Example subtitles from s1e08, "The Silent Relationship", for those curious:

"Double-neurodiverse"? Look I'm all for more acceptance and understanding of me and my ND homies, but I'm pretty sure you only get the buff effect once no matter how many conditions with that flag you have; it doesn't stack.

Are you okay with tampons in boys' washrooms?!

Yyyes. And it's weird that republicans are not. They're hygiene products, not a political statement.

Nah man, this is very concerning. You don't need to calm down; I think everyone else is too fuckin calm about it.

What I want from anyone supporting this decision is a single example of a situation where the President would need to break the law in an official capacity. I want just one. I'll not get it, but I'm gonna keep demanding it.

I'm sure it's nothing and everything is fine. Now, who wants to buy some of this Reddit stock? I'll cut you a special deal so you don't miss out! ... Anyone?

A GIF of the human "success" animation for researching Core Waste Dumps, from the game "Master of Orion 2: Battle At Antares". I actually played a game all the way through to this point to get the footage, as I didn't have it on any of my games in progress at the moment.

Not only that, but the post I made it for got buried under downvotes, so nobody'd ever see it if I only posted it there. I hope other enjoyers of this sci-fi 4X classic find a pleasant dose of nostaligia in it ๐Ÿ––

Good. What kind of a fucking psychopath sees a car of lost young people and decides, instead of offering directions or at worst leaving them the fuck alone, that they deserve assault with a deadly weapon?

Goddamn deranged.
