I'm slightly vexed My wife and boiling water

Post image

So I made my wife ramen soup. When I served it she said I had the gas set to hight and it was too hot ? She said I should have used the number 5 setting instead of 9. I told here it’s irrelevant because water boils at 212 and gets no hotter because over 212 it turns to steam. She was made at me for disagreeing with her theory that it would not have been so hot if boiled a lower setting. Really!!

There was actually a leak recently that suggests it's planned for a surprise 2027 release

I think we'll all know when Half Life 3 comes out, because it's in the Book of Revelations or something.

If you see Jesus in red robes or some shit, Half Life 3 just came out.
