Part 4 clearly ended in a way that let’s them bring John back. We don’t see a body, his injuries look like they could be survivable (he’s survived similar injuries), and his dog reacts like he saw someone he knows off screen. I think they should leave well enough and move on, give Donnie Yen his movie.

“Everybody gets one, as Spider-Man frequently reminds us.”

“This was built to *use* not chop around at a car show.”

Maybe it is just me, but whenever I see a listing where there was an engine swap or some other major rebuild or swap done just 2-3k miles prior, I wonder if the owner is “sick of this POS” and trying to cash out before it strikes their wallet again.

Well the core problem with the QR menu had nothing to do with the QR codes, and everything to do with shitty implementation. You’re supposed to use your phone, but most places that used it didn’t have a menu linked that was even vaguely usable on the phone.

Maybe I’ve had my head stuck in the sand, but this is my first time hearing that “Karen” was exclusive to a particular race.

If extradited from China

Never underestimate the allure hiring someone who promises to work stupid hours for next to nothing.

Hiring a Chinese national for any sensitive IP work is a terrible idea. Theft of IP is a huge driver for China’s economy and military, and I hope stories like this have a chilling effect.

Haven’t had a spam call in months.   Thank you Google Call Screening/Spam Block. 

The problem is that most people who get these calls are on the Do Not Call registry anyway, which Telemarketers abide by. Its the scam calls that pretend to be Telemarketers/Charities that are the real problem. And they don’t abide by any laws, because they’re, you know...criminals.

Freaking awesome. Does anybody know how to build that orbital satellite? Some of the bosses are surprisingly brutal.
