Your first paragraph sums up my whole point really well :) When you think about it, there SHOULD be a lot of soul-searching that goes into the decision. It’s a big purchase with a lot of responsibility. It’s too big of a purchase to simply chalk up to broad generalizations that by no means apply to everyone.

Yeah...as someone who grew up in the southwest where flash floods can definitely suck you in and pull you down with the current, his hesitance to jump into the water makes sense. Something tells me that many of the snarky mc snarklesons on jalopnik aren’t exactly Michael Phelps either. Also—from the time he realized…

Do not judge. People panic easily and act irrationally in situations like this. As someone who did rescue work during (really serious) floods, I know. I remember elderly lady (ignored evacuation earlier) who rescued with her dog from her totally flooded house, got panic attack about forgotten keys because she did not…

Developing on IoT core for the Pi is seriously fun. It’s an infinitely better experience than cobbling together some Python on Linux and lets you have pretty UIs.

I agree with you. I have a friend who is hoping to do as the writer and wear her baby to work and I just don’t think it’s going to work out. It would kill my concentration if I was her labmate. Infants sleep a lot but when they are not sleeping they take attention. And things that can sound like happy baby noises to…

Look, I love babies. I like moms (some of them). But if I was invited to speak in from of hundreds of people, do a book signing, and participate in an intense professional conference, I’d arrange for child care for the day. No, you can’t bring your baby to work, sorry. That includes adjunct teaching. Advocate for…

Even if this is a joke piece, this is way too cringe worthy to continue reading.

Does this count?

Not at all. Because at the end of the day, Kojima wanted her to be naked. He wanted her to be exposed and just because he came up with a contrived “reason” for her to be so exposed doesn’t change his motivation at all. I’m feeling fine about my words and deeds. How’s Kojima feeling about his?

Or just use something like the this little ASUS travel router. About the size of a stick of gum. Paired with even a modest size usb battery pack it’s still smaller than this nonsense.

He can’t. He cut out the middle of the Da through Tr pages to make this project.

If you said ‘oh like Redstone’ he’d probably accuse you of using drugs.

It’s funny, becuase you CAN create logic circuits and extremely complex machines with Redstone. So, Rubio is technically correct that you can write “programs” in Minecraft. (Though, I guess it’s more like electrical engineering, really.)

Well, Splatoon got a big problem with lag overall, not just during international play. I can’t claim that I’m having much worse or better lag when playing during splatfest when it’s only regional matchmaking. I think it’s just that people like to assume that distance= more lag.

All these games remind me of my childhood.

The idea that things start very normal and then slowly go bizarre and frightening was done in a game from forever ago. I think it was quite effective given the system limitations back in the day. The whole time you’re playing you have to piece together whether you’re just slowly going insane or if something horrifying…

That is pretty awesome.
