FIVE THOUSAND?!
Jesus nun-fucking Christ, what an absolute scam. I bought a 1070 for $220 in the first few months after release. Guess I'll just have to hope it can run for another 10 years...

Came here to say Peep Show, what an absolute treasure
This is not true. I personally acquired citizenship of Lithuania for example, solely because my grandmother was born there and left during Soviet occupation (as many did). I speak no Lithuanian, have no other connection to the country, and have never even been there.
Want to save this thread for later, may as well name a couple as well
The Faceless - Planetary Duality. Technical death metal album that found an outstanding balance between technically-impressive musicianship, interesting compositional intricacacies, and raw primal brutality. Nothing scratches that itch like this album does for me. And if you're into drums, Alex Rudinger's drumming in Xenochrist is wholly and entirely inhuman. The dude is an octopus trapped in a man's body. I'd recommend watching his Xenochrist drum playthrough video if you're particularly interested
Infected Mushroom - Converting Vegetarians. These two guys are absolute wizards of music production, and this album showcases their insane ability to bring out such colorful personalities from their meticulously crafted synth leads, through gradual and dramatic evolution... Which they usually do in a familiar psy-trance setting. But the "chill side" half of this album accomplishes this wonderfully in a unique, much more relaxed, low-tempo style that I'm genuinely struggling to find words to describe
I love news outlets that go back and edit any statements they made which were determined to be false after publishing. Even better when they put them in a red box like that

It's super effective!

V-Sauce had an incredible video on this, outlining exactly how unfathomably colossal the number 52! actually is. If I remember correctly:
Stand at the equator and set a timer for 52! seconds, press start, then stand still and wait for 1 billion years. Then, take one single step forward, and wait another billion years.
Continue walking at this pace until you've made your way around the Earth and back to your original starting position, then remove one drop of water from the Pacific ocean, and set it aside.
Repeat this process until you've completely emptied the Pacific Ocean drop by drop, then set a single sheet of paper on the ground beside you. Refill the Pacific Ocean again (instantly), and do it all over again.
Continue this process, setting each sheet of paper on top of the last, until the stack of papers reaches the sun. Then tear it all down and do the whole thing over again, 999 more times.
At this point, the timer would be about a third of the way to 0 seconds.
The video continues with an alternative mind-boggling process to kill the rest of the time while you're waiting for the timer to reach 0, which involves dealing yourself 5 cards from a well-shuffled deck once every billion years, and buying a lottery ticket for each royal flush you deal yourself. If that lottery ticket hits the jackpot, you'd (EDIT: throw a grain of sand into the grand canyon, repeating until it's full - forgot this step) then remove 1 ounce of rock from Mount everest, and repeat all of this until Mount Everest is completely leveled.
After doing this 256 more times, then the other two-thirds of the timer will have elapsed, and it would finally reach 0.
That's how long 52! seconds would be.
