The same place that random town was wherein they fired the entirety of their police force and crime dropped by 70% for a few years.

I only liked the ones where there was a tangible fact tied to the solution that revealed a lie.

Alternative point of view question: I want to take my wife to the movies to see something lite and enjoyable, as she has been game to go to my never-ending stream of Marvel and Star Wars films. Since I need to factor in child care costs, at under two hours, this seems to be saving me an hour or so compared to what we…

Re: Ghosn,

Thank you for that. As a lifelong Warriors fan, I’ve only come to learn about/understand the convoluted rules regarding max offers in the past four years, and even then they still seem like a shifting proposition (I still don’t understand how the TV contract gave teams the ability to offer more resulting in us…

The article states that they have reached a full refresh in nearly 2 seconds (so lets call it “less than 3 seconds”). I really think this is going to be a “beneficial based on use” technology. LCD screens that have a viewable range of ~30 degrees sound terrible, but then when you use an ATM and don’t want people…

Don’t get too hung up on the speed of refresh, as the article indicates they went from 30 seconds to 2 in a few years.  I mean, we didn’t have E Ink twenty years ago, so you went from not existing, to refreshing in 30 seconds (color), to 2 seconds in relatively short order.  Theres a clear and viable market for this…

Noted.  I wasn’t tying the film to realism, moreso that that moment in the film is kind of a battle of wills, where Mantegna is 100% sure Reeve can walk, but can’t goad him into revealing it, so in his frustration stabs Reeve in the leg to “win” and Reeve just grits through it, and “wins” by not reacting.  Just a…

I had one!!!!

Right, its the emotion that several pounds of drugs give you, albeit the second time (first time: Wii!!, second time: Wii.... U?)

There was a Christopher Reeves film where he played a guy who was supposedly in a wheelchair, and therefore unable to commit the brutal murder of his wife. Theres a great courtroom scene where Joe Mantegna stabs him in the leg to get him to react and he just dead-eyes back.

I see you too had a Nomad.

No, you’re close but missed the mark.  It’s like saying that gun lock manufacturers don’t want people to buy guns, but if they own a gun, the company wants to sell them a lock.

Microsoft hit a homerun with XBox, because it had that mystery and power suggestion all wrapped into one. But every at-bat since, they’ve been trying to get the same success, but they’re warping it by repeating it (360 was fine if odd; One... is confusing when its technically 3rd; One X just muddied the pond; Series X…

Are you familiar with America? We had a dude campaign for President and sang a ditty that went “bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran”

Did anyone else get the impression that Zellweger had had a few to drink before she won?

This post makes me sad and remember Google’s Inbox, which was a fantastic mail manager, yes it had problems, but it did all the innovative stuff you’d hope for a mail manager to do these days. Emails about flights would be prominent the day of the flight, even if it was months old; emails were easily turned into…

I’m going to be working on my battle-station, thinking about mods to games I want to run, scouring reddit for free games on Steam and other platforms, thinking about mods to systems I haven’t touched in a while, stressing out about the large quantity of unopened new games I have and unplayed digital games I own, and…

In my office space of four persons, right this moment, 3/4 of the staff have Apple Watches on. In the seven offices directly on my floor, 1/2 of the staff have them. When I go downtown for lunch, they are the #1 most common type of watch I see.
