I dunno, with the right mods, Skyrim still gave me a lot of those goosebumps.  I haven’t played anything in 4k yet as I don’t really game besides mobile and Switch, but using an un-modded image from Skyrim is sort of disingenuous for how far the modding community took that game.

40 inch 4k sets are easy to find under $300 now as well.

PBR (what we call it here in the upper midwest) was college swill water last time I heard. Fascinating.

Agreed on that. The problem with such a ridiculously expensive one to three month rental is the anxiety that comes with it. I’d feel like any time I wasn’t out driving, I’d be lighting dollar bills on fire. Which isn’t far from the truth at $2,600 a month, which works out to over $3.50 an hour.

But a day rental…

I mean, I can absolutely understand this comment for a lot of stuff here. Things like Torch’s random basement videos or old car ad captions, Erin posting captain-obvious level warnings about breathing unfiltered pollution, Raph complaining about his random old bike for pages on end, or pretty much anything Erik…

Agreed. On top of that, blowing the Raptor out of the water in numbers isn’t necessarily going to translate into anything other than bragging rights.

I’m not a truck guy, but I’m trying to understand how you need anything more than the Raptor’s output to do the job these are designed for. Traction surely will be an…

I miss my old Nokia what was it... 720? Last phone I could carry without a case. Dropped it on the cement? Plastic body indented a bit and you took sandpaper to it and couldn’t even tell. The thing was a tank, had a great OS, great camera, and STILL WORKS as a media player for my elementary school age kid who hadn’t…

Embarrassed is the right word. I lived and breathed the tuner scene from the mid aughts to the mid teens, first via games and media then in the flesh with my 350z. This thing looks like a Civic (which is already a very busy design) with a tacked on bodykit overnighted from Japan circa 2005.

I would not be caught DEAD…

My wife and I (and spread to my father) had the worst cold of our lives in Michigan, but late January. I doubt we had it either, but the symptoms were all dead on and it dragged on for about 5 weeks. All three of us commented how we had never had anything like this before while we were sick.

Who knows. 

This is exactly it. You don’t have to be sympathetic, but you can be apathetic. What you can’t be is happy about someone else getting the raw end of a deal.  That makes you a dick.

Agreed. I complain about crap at work to co workers daily. I complained to AT&T about a screw job on my bill this week. I also care about the global catastrophe around us.  Not mutually exclusive things.

As ever, not everybody gets the Tesla shine. Gravity works differently in Fremont.

I mean, there’s a lot of truth in what you say. There are certain C-suite roles, like CFO, that don’t really require much creativity, innovation, or leadership from the individual.

But others, like CTO/CIO, can be absolutely critical to a company’s success. Technology officers generally have the authority to select the…

Just... no.

Hyperbole and sarcasm of all the people below aside, as another posted mentioned 500 is big for taking trips, which is infrequent and yes could be solved with a rental, but still a thing. Especially if air travel continues to be less than ideal.

I’ve expressed range anxiety before, but only for sub-200 ranges.…

Lukewarm take:

This car is more handsome than the current offering, and I’d rather drive this than the monstrosity on dealer lots, despite being 10 years older and down a ton of power/performance.

Also, NP.  Seems a tad cheaper than CL comparisons around me.

This is it. Got my old bins out for our kids (8, 4, 3) this summer a few times a week to do long sessions. I enjoyed making the spaceships, submarines, and racecars, and houses for them, and they enjoyed playing with them when I was done. It was a huge win/win.

Well, except the part where the tables turned and my wife…

Gizmodo has been on this layout for some weeks. I have muscle memory built already to click “latest”, so I’ll just do that here.

Only when I’m bored at work like I was yesterday afternoon :) I often go days without commenting on anything depending on workload.  WFH life I guess.
