Further proving the axiom “you’re not ugly you’re just poor”.  For $1,000 a month you can be skinny without any work. 

Gamestop really just needs to pivot hard at this point and just become what they bought: ThinkGeek. Thinkgeek succeeded in a marketplace where their shipping and general site were garbage but it worked because they provided products nobody else did. So of course gamestop got rid of that site, smushed it into…

If I were to guess, I suspect that the authorities have reason to believe that the re-entry system isn't up to the task of slowing the pod down for a safe landing.  Mostly based on the "risk and impact analysis" wording

oh she’s great and the issue was never with her as an actress, it was fully the writing.

I’ll quote David Miller, chairman of the board of trustees of Southern Methodist University, “It’s a couple hundred million dollars. I’m not losing sleep over it.” While he has nothing to do with BNSF, it tells you how the corporate world looks at things. In the case of BNSF, fines/settlements/judgments are expenses…

The correct answer is zero. We are decades away from even getting a single human on mars for any period of time, let alone long enough to establish a long term base upon which we can establish our rule of mars. AI and robotics would seem to be much closer to making human analogs that can perform better on mars then…

I’m in a major southern city, and I swear there used to be way more shade around. People think nothing of cutting down a sixty year old tree on their property, and I’m sure any development from the past twenty years viewed every potential tree planted in a parking lot as four fewer parking spaces. The end result is…

This is actual nonsense. Sun Tea is brewed before any sugar - necessary to fuel any bacterial growth - is added. Unsweatened tea is simply not a viable growth media. There is one professor that cites one patent (not even a scientific study) that is regularly quoted here. The patent is public record, there was no…

Fuck the booze industry.

Indeed. Over 30 dollars for 2 beers at a recent concert is highway robbery.

How about concerts are too expensive and people who go to them don’t want to spend money on overpriced refreshments?

If you find there isn’t enough meat in the restaurant serving of chili, just order a plain Jr Burger along with it. Cut up or break up the patty, add it to the chili and have the bun as a side piece of bread for dipping. Adds about $1.50 or so to the price of the chili but worth it.

I realise this is probably mandated, but why is io9/gizmodo covering this? It's incredible DC/WB would put out a major movie with a main character that really should be in jail.

(could also be a lot of places in Australia have perfectly fine and functional public transport, which is convenient to use and a lot cheaper than paying for parking)

It would seem that the most practical way to address this is to only consider actual USD that entered the FTX system as “currency”, and to consider any crypto tokens as $0 USD. Counting crypto as actual “money” just obscures the truth. So, if you invested $10M in USD, you are a creditor of that amount. Whatever these…

I have to ask, Nikki. Have you ever seen the movie AI? David doesn’t leave to find out where he belongs. His mother, instead of returning him to the company, leaves him in the woods and drives off. All he wants to do is be good, and go home. Also, the captured robots aren’t forced to fight to the death. They are…

I will ask for 1 and only 1: Full Metal Alchemist with Hollywood cast.

$520k only 8 years ago? And they can’t flip it due to what is effectively cosmetic?

These laws really need to be overhauled and brought up to speed now that we have, you know, electricity and horseless carriages.

It kinda strikes me that something like House Flipper or Power Wash simulator have a lot of potential for enviromental storytelling that’s aside from the main game.
