The tank in Arkham Knight on the Xbox 360. I spent hours trying to get past it. Finally looked online and others were saying it took them days to get past it. Decided I didn’t like the game enough to put that much effort into one fight.
A requirement.txt that doesn’t list versions. Especially if it has pytorch. I’ve fought dependency issues for too long with projects like that.
Not only do I know that my taxes are going to the betterment of the community, but in the end I actually save money. Not just with the therapy and things my son now gets through school. But the sales tax and property taxes are lower. Plus a my insurance premiums are substantially lower. My home owners insurance when from $12k a year to $2k because people don’t want to write insurance for places like Texas anymore.
It wasn’t an immediate turn heel, and leave moment, but my wife and I had talked about moving out of Texas for a while. Mainly driven by our son with special needs. We had been paying tens of thousands dollars a year for therapy and constantly fighting with his school to get the services he needed. Then last year things went downhill fast. We ended up pulling him out of school because one of the teachers told us they found him in the parking lot laying under a car. Not surprised he would do that, he is opposed with cars and especially exhaust systems, but he was supposed to have a paraprofessional with him all day, so we really wondered how he got away like. Unfortunately, he has communication problems, so he couldn’t tell us. We had already been in talks with a lawyer about bringing a lawsuit to challenge the services they were offering. But his IEP already said he was supposed to have a para with him. When the lawyer told us it would cost $10-15k just to bring a lawsuit to force them to do what they are already legally required to do, we decided that was it. We were leaving Texas.
We ended up in Connecticut and it was the best decision we ever made. There are so many services here for him. He is truly thriving. My wife and I don’t immediately tense up when we see the school calling. I broke into tears during my first meeting with them because it was all about what they could do for him. Versus every meeting ever in Texas where they made us feel like he was a burden on the school.
I think with Smells Like Teen Spirit is Kurt always felt that like he didn’t deserve as much praise because he considered the song to be a Pixies rip-off. It wasn’t done to poke fun at the Pixies but out of his love for them.
Slash - Beautiful Dangerous (feat. Fergie)
I was shocked when I found it was Fergie singing. Apparently Slash thought she would make a good rock signer and wrote the specifically with her in mind. And he wasn’t wrong.
The guitar solo in that song has no right to be that amazing
IIRC Song 2 was supposed to be a parody of how simple radio friendly rock music had become, then became their biggest hit.
The Gits - I was huge into grunge and punk in the 90s, I have no idea how I missed them. Unfortunately, their singer Mia Zapata was murdered.
They only have two albums but they are both zero skips for me.
I think saw one of the keywords was dumbass. And another looked for you calling it a piece of shit
I guarantee the routers your ISP wants you to rent from them will have that waiver.
My SIL thought Battery was backdoor-raid. I still can’t unhear it
Hero of War by Rise Against - I’m a vet to this hits fucking hard.
Blackbird by Alter Bridge - My stepdad got cancer in 2020 and had a very slow decline until he finally passed in 2025. Watching him wither away was heartbreaking. I saw him around Christmas of 2024 and he was still able to get up and move around on his own, but only for a short period of time. I went back down a month later to help my mom, because he couldn’t even get out of bed anymore. The hospice nurse came one day and basically told us he maybe had a week at most. He couldn’t even talk at this point, would not eat, and you could tell he was just in constant pain. I told him not worry and that I appreciated everything he did for my mom and that I would take care of her. He passed a few minutes later with his dog in his lap. Later that afternoon, after I had gotten everything taken care of, I took his dog for a walk. This song just happened to come on while I was walking her. The line, “May you never be broken again” made me breakdown right there in the middle of the park. To this day I still cry every time I hear the song.
Saturday the 14th and Saturday the 14th Strikes Back
You should have seen how pissed off my Trump loving BIL got when I told him the unemployment he was collecting was a social program.
When I got out of the military I didn’t filed for disability when I got out, because I didn’t want to be a “leach on the system.” I was stupidly very libertarian back then. I completely regret it now. I’m 45 years old with the hearing and back of a 65 year old. Plus the $10k I’ve had to spend because of how bad they fucked my teeth.
The systems are there to support you. But jackasses like Reagan made us all not want to be “welfare queens” just so he could line his and his buddies pockets while they go off and be pedophiles. So get what support you need. There is no need to feel guilty for something you qualify for.
Avengers End Game - after years of build up and creating the entire MCU, it felt like a cop out for them to fix everything with a time travel plot that they set specific rules for. It was just lazy writing.
