They're not thinking of it from your point of view, where you've come from any one of thousands of different airports with different rules.

They're thinking of it from their own point of view. Where they've been doing the same thing every day for years, with rules that don't change much if at all, and somehow every single motherfucker that comes through their line gets it wrong.

To be fair, having to repeatedly explain the same fairly simple rules over and over and over again to people who are just not getting it would wear pretty thin fairly quickly. But it's not really the fault of everyone else for not knowing that specific airport's specific rules.

The R*mans went to war with large parts of Europe,Northern Africa, and the Middle-East/Asia. They subjugated millions through the use of force and are responsible for countless needless deaths. Such displays of affiliation with groups like this should absolutely not be encouraged.

Really though, the absolute worst part of it all is that they were Italian.

I'm guessing this is some kind of climate change protest thing. It looks like your screenshot is taken from Bing Maps, but you can only see the outline of hte skull on Google Maps.

Oooh, imagine how good a bowl of next-day soup from the replicator would be the next day!

I think it was the way that exploration felt like a grind that made it so “meh”. A whole universe to explore, and you’re either going to come to a barren rock planet, or find the same enemy base/outpost 5 times in a row.

For a game where space exploration was one of the main selling points, it felt remarkably unlike exploring at times.

If you can't afford to pay for one of the raw materials required to make your product, then you don't deserve to have a business selling that product.

In any other scenario would this even be in question?

Standing in the street outside your crushes house, flag in each hand, trying desperately to remember the proper way to signal "will you go out with me" in semaphore.

The original mini had a wheelbase of just over 3m

The wheelbase was just over 2m, but the total length was just over 3m.

I'm not going to pretend I know better than the people who are buying them if they offer any real utility, but it's not like they're new. The Hilux has been around donkey's years. It's only the last couple of years they've started to catch on big-time. I don't understand what's changed that's pushed a lot of lads away from the likes of a Transit into a Ford Ranger.

Although I'm sure there were plenty of people driving Land Cruisers before who are in Rangers now, and are carrying precisely the same amount of absolutely fuck all in them.

The only people that read xkcd are those that can understand it

If that was true, there’d be no need for ExplainXKCD.com.

And even then on some of the more physics-y ones I just give Randall the benefit of the doubt that it’s funny.

Surely if you’re sending someone on a 3000 year journey, you’ve prepared for the possibility of making a faster ship in the time between them leaving and arriving at their destination!?
