I have little doubt they’ll be able to find a new home for the show. After all, this isn’t just another TV show, it’s a frickin’ pop cultural touchstone. As many streaming services as exist now, surely at least one will be interested.

He also inspired the Traffic song “The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys”.

It’s demonstrated in one of the scenes early on that the augmented-reality head-up-display tech everyone uses includes a universal translator.

Why no phones from Motorola? My Moto X4 is a new, recent phone; why won't it work with it?

Michelle actually did that stunt—and learned to ride a motorcycle in the first place for that movie.

I’d be surprised if many of the scooters are left out overnight. When it gets to be evening, the scooters start signaling to be picked up and recharged. Sooner or later, they all come off the streets.

Yeah, no.

Indiana has some really weird blue laws.

How is it that you apparently can’t tell the difference between backlit LCD screens and frontlit Kindle screens? The pieces you link to discuss people reading on tablets, in which they’re staring directly at a source of light. However, every Kindle bounces light off the e-ink screen, for exactly the same lighting

If you want another way to make great pizza for about a fifth of the price of that oven, get the Presto Pizzazz rotary pizza cooker.

Randall Munroe already put it best.

Well, they did use that choral piece from the first movie as the first part of the end title music.

If you’re going to do the level-up trick by evolving a lot of Pidgeys, Weedles, and/or Caterpies while under a lucky egg, those are other good buddy options.

Seriously? There’s nothing hard about this. It’s just tedious. You just have to catch 101 Magikarp (one to evolve, and 100 x (3 catch + 1 trade-in) candies to cover the cost) and boom, you’re done. You’ll get it even faster if you happen to hatch a Magikarp egg, which comes with bonus candies.

I wish someone would tell me why it is that depicting Team Valor as a bunch of jerks has become a huge Internet in-joke. It’s in every meme I see.

It’s not really such a big surprise, and honestly, I’m a little surprised you never mentioned the huge number of churches that are Ingress portals—since that’s where they come from. They’re recognizable landmarks, there are lots of them around, they’re generally safe places, and often they’ve got some great

Yeah, I know. I had read about it before, and that’s why I tried it. It beats the hell out of tossing and turning for hours unable to get back to sleep. By getting up for a few hours, I can sort of “recharge my sleepiness.”

I have that sort of problem, and I ended up arranging my sleep schedule so I go to bed around 7, get up around midnight, then go back to bed around 4 or so. Seems to work, for the most part.

One caveat about the mod—it’s still being developed. Some users (including me!) have run across a bug where it causes your game to crash whenever a character moves. The developer’s working on fixing that; meanwhile, if it happens to you, simply disable the Squad Cohesion mod, load the save, and finish the mission,

Personally, I use ‘em both. Google Maps for when I’m bicycling around or using public transit, and Waze when I’m driving. For pretty much the exact reasons given above, though one the article doesn’t mention is Waze’s gamification of the driving experience—the more you drive, and the more you report hazards and such,
