Damn, wasn’t that the one where the dad went into the bathroom with his wife and child still in the car, waiting for him, and that reckless moron pretending he was a race car driver killed both of them? I can’t imagine the horror he felt when he came back and saw what had happened. Definitely far worse than this…

He was 16. A child. Numerous studies have shown boy’s brains don’t fully develop until the mid 20s. If he was 25 and went out like this, then you’d have a point. Not when he was 16.

How in the world is kneeling at a football game during a national anthem at all equivalent to showing up at someone’s loved one’s funeral and taking a piss on the grave? I mean, holy shit.

That might be one of the stupidest things I’ve read. Why would you run? Because shots were reportedly fired and officers with guns drawn are around, maybe? Bullets don’t discriminate and bystanders get shot all the time. I would be running away as soon as possible from anywhere I think bullets could come from.

They fixed the last ball glitch (finally, after a whole month of people getting screwed by it).

EVs now don’t let drivers engage the drive train when the car is plugged in. They won’t even let you shift out of park. No reason why they couldn’t implement that for trucks too.

Presumably there will be dozens of tunnels side by side or above and underneath each other. Also the cars would be carried by electronic sled more quickly than they would be able to drive. Very probably nothing will come of this since it would be too difficult/expensive/dangerous to do, but so long as Musk uses his…

Do people adjust their vents a lot while they’re driving? In twenty years of driving, I can’t think of a single time I’ve moved my vents while the car was in motion. I adjust them to blow air at my face when I get the car, and then never think about them again. I don’t think I’ve seen anybody else adjust their vents…

. . . I’m totally going to accidentally transfer the shiny Pikachu and grind him to candy and never know I was lucky enough to catch him.

Throwing curve balls adds a very good multiplier to your catch rate. I believe people have crowdsourced catch rates with and without curve, and they’ve determined it adds about a 1.7 multiplier to your catch rate, which is very good when you start stacking multipliers with the golden berry and Nice/Great/Excellent…

There was probably an Articuno raid a couple miles away that was about to expire. The Arricuno event ended today, so he had to get there quick before his last chance disappeared.

I honestly can’t believe how many people think the speedometer on the center screen is somehow unsafe. It’s fine. They put it at the top left corner, which is easy to glance at, and unless they did something stupid like make it bounce around the screen will be easy to see whenever needed. Maybe it’s different for…

Niantic actually should have experience with this kind of stuff since they’ve been doing “Anomaly” events for Ingress for years where they sell tickets and have players from both factions battle it out for portals in the same city. I wonder if they just didn’t anticipate people without tickets showing up, or if they…

The list improves considerably when you filter for first year rookies who won Summer League MVP who don’t have pro ball experience to help them dominate new competition.

You’re calling a flop when he’s almost averaging a triple double and put up a 36 - 10 game between two triple double performances. That’s the hottest and dumbest of takes. I get people are itching to bash the kid because of his arrogant dad, but dismissing him as a flop when he’s doing stuff no SL guy has done in a…

I love that idea, but it’s hard to incentivize players on those teams since they might be playing for their teams to draft their own replacement. They’d have to work out a payment for playing in those games (obviously) and would have to negotiate with the players’ union, who will be very against the concept. But…

Wow. Mr Immortal might be the first super hero I’ve ever really identified with.

Even if you don’t drive electric, I’d recommend looking into renting for long road trips. Renting is what my mom did when we went on road trips when I was a kid, and what she did when she would drive up to Berkeley to visit me while I was at UCB. She told me she didn’t want to put the miles on her car, and that she…

I love my iPad, but my Kindle Voyage is the only way to go for my book reading purposes. The screen is less wearing on my eyes, and it works beautifully in all lighting conditions. The biggest key for me though is that the iPad is clunky to carry around with me all the time, while the Kindle can fit nicely into the…

You might not be. If I read a lot (Five hours or more per day) for a few days straight, I have to plug in my Kindle once a week, too. You might just be reading a lot. I think the Kindle battery life that Amazon touts is based on 30 minutes to an hour of use per day, so if you’re using your Kindle significantly more…
