Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

I have questions but I don't want the answers

I'd explain what happened, but I signed an NDA...

Probably the second-best Christmas movie of all time, just after Christmas with the Kranks*!

* This is a joke. Please don't watch that movie, it's terrible. Management accepts no responsibility for the sharp drop in the quality of your life if you say, "How bad could it be?" and watch it anyway.

That was the movie my wife was looking for!

With an almost 1/2" entry hole and a baseball sized exit hole, it shouldn't give you anything.

Penetrating it is going to always use up some energy, which is what Aftermath ballistic weapons damage was based on. The question was whether it was enough to matter, which as I recall in most cases the answer was "no".

It could get a little weirder with handgun rounds as I recall, but rifle rounds could be pretty unforgiving, at least for NPCs, unless you had actual armor intended for the purpose.

1/2" entry hole and baseball-sized exit hole?... I may need to up the damage BB-guns do in my games! Are we talking regular BBs, or are there baseball-sized BBs I'm unaware of?

I think that you skipped a post. That was a .44 cal hollow point from my Marlin lever rifle

A Christmas Story is basically the biography of my childhood. There are so many parallels between that movie and my early years (I could show you a picture where I look like Ralphie's stunt double) there's probably a Reddit subgroup dedicated to the conspiracy theories...
In my case, though, it was my brother who was shooting the pellet gun, and I was standing next to him when it ricocheted and hit me just under the eye.

(On a slight tangent, years earlier (when I was still wearing glasses) I actually did get my glasses wrecked by an icicle falling off our house...)

I think the resonance of the story is that it resembles a lot of peoples lives in that period, mid to late 20th century. It is well acted also.

You begged me, and my manager to get me assigned to your project, you've now made 2 different mistakes within 20 minutes on what I'm doing on this project in front of 30 stakeholders.

2026 kicking off all kinds of ways! lol

Walp. There's about a hundred emails waiting for me in my Inbox, and four meeting scheduled for me before lunch.

The holidays are definitely over. Happy New Year, everyone...I'm heading back to the salt mines.

About the same number of emails for me, but thankfully no meetings. I've been off for 3 weeks, had my queue cleared before shutting down, and had my vacation response set up so click-box, mark read. Rather surprisingly, unlike previous years, the work queue appears to be well under control after my additional week off.

I've been there long enough that even after taking that week I'll have to take another day or two, very soon, to avoid going over my bank limit.
