[USA] Where to shop for gaming laptops and find good prices?
  • Do you have a Microcenter near you? Their prices are usually the best I've found. They have some shippable gaming laptops that just barely miss the specs or price target you have from what I saw but it's worth looking into.

    Learn the rules, then break them!
  • Similar to Music theory. It's not absolutely necessary to write good music, but understanding it allows you to be more purposeful in your writing and know why certain things work and when to break the "rules" for an effect.

    Would you like to donate a dollar to...?
  • This is you donating to the non-profit. You get the tax break, the company does not. I'm so sick of this misinformation because nobody actually donates on their own, which is why non-profits partner with companies for fundraising.

    It's on your receipt, you get the tax break. As simple as that.

    Alcohol should be banned everywhere.
  • Neither of these are outright bans, and the results are mixed. If banning worked then Nigeria wouldn't have 4.6 million people abusing opiates.

    I'll be damned if this river flows unopposed
  • "Hey Bob, I see you hired a plumber, what's going on?"

    "I heard the sound of a leak in our bathroom wall. Hired a plumber to find it and fix it."

    "You're such a dumbass, Bob."

  • They have been known to live in lakes, and when they do they dig dens under the shoreline.

    The reason they don't like the sound of running water is the same reason we don't like to hear the sound of unexplained running water in our homes, it's a sign of a leak. The only difference is for them it's instinctual, and for us we understand the consequences of a leak in our home.

    Who would win?
  • His partner also dumped a clip into the vehicle. The officer that got spooked by the acorn literally did not realize he had not been shot until he go to the hospital...

  • I don't think a flight has ever had a crowd crush event.

    The largest passenger plane is an Airbus A380 with a typical passenger capacity of 575. And that's split between two decks. Most crowd crush events involve twice that amount of people all heading the same direction while the people in front have nowhere to go. And most crowd crush events are a result of building code violations such as emergency exits that open inwards.

    Planes don't really allow for crowd crushes to happen. Every person would have to be trying to get to the same emergency exit at the front of the plane, and if you're mid flight why would anybody be trying to get to any exit?

    Just stay in your seat and it's highly improbable to be crushed to death.

  • The picture is from old footage of a nuclear bomb test. The long shadow is cast by the flash of the explosion and this is right before the shockwave hits and levels the house.

    oh snap.
  • How long can gut microbiomes survive after the host is dead? Wouldn't a dead host essentially mean near 100% fatality for the gut microbiome meaning that anybody killed by a Thanos snap would also mean a 100% kill rate of their gut bacteria, leaving any survivors to basically keep all 100% of their gut bacteria?

    Letter: Trump seems more like the false prophet in the Bible than the “Anointed One”
  • I think they don't see it because the people who support Trump and see him as a harbinger of prosperity are the same people who take the Bible at face value and are already of the belief that should the Rapture come tomorrow, they certainly won't be left below.

    They believe in the wrathful God of the Old Testament, they are fundamentalists and they are a far cry from what good Christians can be. Should Jesus come tomorrow, these people would have him lynched as a pinko liberal, labeling him the antichrist.

    They're not Christian because they have read the Bible and learned to love thy neighbor and become a righteous person, they are Christian because they have been told a lake of hellfire awaits those who don't accept Jesus and they were indoctrinated into the religion of Revelations. They've been fed the cherry-picked apples of knowledge by pastors with agendas and never challenged the version of God they were given.

    Trumps persecution by the state and mainstream politics fuels this fire. Surely if he were the antichrist he would not have been challenged by the DOJ and "anti-christian" liberals. In their minds, his path to the white house, as a leader of men, parallels Jesus.
