To me, if it’s a private business (it was), all liability should be on them. By hiring them and putting the employee in a position to cause damage, the business is the one that was negligent. They knowingly ‘allowed’ a 19 year old without driving privileges or the knowledge to drive manual to drive a manual. The…

How could you? You need the license to rent the car or be put on as a legal operator of the car and show insurance (which you wouldn’t have for a rental), at least in PA.

I think things are a lot different now than they were then, too. The cost of a car, gasoline, maintenance, insurance, etc are WAY higher now in comparison with worker pay than they were in the 70's, 80's, 90's, even the 00's. You can say that all of those things kept pace with inflation (even though they outpaced it…

Right?! MILLENIALS ARE KILLING THE DIAMOND INDUSTRY! ... because they don’t have money to spend on that! MILLENIALS AREN’T BUYING HOUSES! ... because they can’t afford it with rent going up by 15% year over year and pay not going up at all.

I know. But it’s not gone, is my point. It didn’t get taken down for quite a while after it was released. Years, even. It’s still online to download here: https://archive.org/details/am2r-1-5

Not only that, but they go after them when they’re released to the world to download. Showing videos of what you’re working on isn’t illegal, it’s not infringement, it’s completely fair use. It’s only after you release it and they usually wait a week+ before issuing a takedown so that it actually gets out there. AM2R…

I loved the first BlackOps game. The ‘Forrest Gump’ feel of having influenced all these historical events behind the scenes interwoven with conspiracy stuff was awesome. Then it got... weird about halfway through the second game and I never went back.

I work with a lot of Indians in my job and have for about 15 years now. It’s gotten a LOT better over that time, at least for the Indians in the US, but they seem to have a work culture there of ‘don’t do anything that isn’t explicitly asked for and don’t troubleshoot without direction to do so’. It was so frustrating…

Because Nintendo loved to tweak things. Like the USB-C charging. It’s not PD compliant. It works mostly with PD stuff but it’s not guaranteed because they didn’t implement everything. This was the main cause of the bricking Switches early on with 3rd party docks. Nintendo is like Sony. They’ll use a standard and tweak…

In the trailer I watched on YouTube, it was absolutely, without a doubt, Patrick Stewart.

Did they LOSE $20B or did they SPEND $20B? That’s a completely different thing. Do you ‘lose’ $150 when you spend $150 at the grocery store? 

They’ve sold 10 million Quest 2 headsets alone and at least a few million Quest 1 and Rift headsets. Selling likely 15M units isn’t exactly a bad thing for ‘emerging’ tech.

Right? Is the 3080Ti a ‘gimmick’ because it’s expensive? How about a $350 CPU? Is anything beyond an entry level card simply ‘a gimmick’? Hardly. The 3090Ti? Yes. Bullshit gimmick. But you can buy a Quest 2 for $350 or a used Quest 1 for $150 on eBay and play PC games on it all day long dependent on your PC specs. You…

He still needs to pay back the nearly $20B in loans he’s taking for the purchase. He’s putting up ‘only’ $19B of ‘his own money’ which may or may not be worth $19B by the time he tries to access it since its likely to be Tesla stock, and the price has been going down on the speculation that that’s where he’s getting…

Yeah, there’s two ways this goes. 1. Elon changes nothing or even improves things a bit and attempts to make money off Twitter. 2. He makes shitty rash changes and people start leaving, meaning he loses a bunch of money before either going hands off or sells it off to someone else, or takes it public again but with…

Yeah I went to Penn State for about $1400/semester in ‘99-’03

The mk3 Supra wasn’t great track car either. The way the rear suspension worked, plus it’s 3500+lb curb weight made it really shitty exiting turns, apparently. They were good to go straight, but not accelerating from a stop since we all know the “What’s the difference between a 400hp and a 1200hp Supra? ... Nothing,…

I got my specific ones back for sure. They do say there’s a possibility that they’ll send back different ones.

I sent two in right at the beginning of the service offering and it was great. I have another two I just sent in a few weeks ago that were sent back within 12 hours of receipt with a paper saying they’ve been fixed, but nothing was changed and they still have drift. Seems like they literally opened the box, stuck em…

Yup. Also that employees owe THEM their lives. “Everyone owes it to me to work 65 hours a week at subpar wages and I get to treat them like shit because they won’t slave away for MY dream.”
