Porn is sad? THAT sounds even sadder.

This is what always confused me about gas stations. I knew about the California law, and yet TONS of gas stations charge different amounts for cash versus credit. How do they get away with that?

Some of them. I’ve had perfect hamsters who never bit me once, too. Loved those little buggers. But agreed that rats are the best.

“...totally normal, he said, for cars driving through pothole-ridden city streets.”

I’m a pretty skinny dude. It’s not about getting in there, and it’s not that I ever thought I had ANY problems. It’s just that once I heard of this technique, and the shock from the person describing it that this wasn’t common knowledge, I bit the bullet and tried it and was startled by the level of improvement. I…

Once I switched, I got it. It keeps your cheeks parted in a way they can’t be when standing and allows more direct, full access. I got more complete wipes and needed to do so fewer times immediately upon switching and never looked back. As for your concern, that was mine too, but it’s never happened. The distance to…

I seriously didn’t learn until a couple of years ago that remaining sitting and putting your hand into the bowl aligned things for WAY cleaner wiping. That’s one example.

I’ve heard of that, vaguely. It’s horrifying.

I see them EVERYWHERE in LA. They’re not quite at Model S range, but I still see them regularly, in a wide variety of color schemes.

Breaking things by default’s kind of a bad move.

It’s not a want, it’s a legacy limitation.

As gets commonly missed, it’s not merely the length of the filename that’s limited to 260 characters, it’s the length of the whole path. Common scenario in IT we run into is user has a network drive mapped to a specific subfolder on the server, then makes a complex nested subfolder structure that goes really deep,…

So the argument is that people are jerks who aren’t learning fast enough, so give up on making things objectively better? Yeah, that’s how we make progress in society...

I had the same experience. Manually set to Material and now I’m in business. Thanks for saying something, because I was wondering why my eyes weren’t picking up a difference.

That’s helpful and more complete information than I had. Thank you.

GCN was more powerful than the PS2, no doubt, but the Xbox definitely outpowered both. Microsoft threw off-the-shelf PC parts, including a Pentium 3 processor, into it and sold it at a huge loss. And again, its lack of ability to overtake the PS2 showed that power alone wasn’t the determining factor in sales.

Correct. But for the last three generations (and more if you count handhelds) they haven’t been. The person you were responding to was correct: people do not buy Nintendo consoles for their power. They buy them for their game library.

At the time it was released they most certainly did. And they did for some time after. So it was, indeed, VERY easy to make them. And they still have plenty of those development kits, and some developers are still working on those systems. Your wording implies the architecture makes it difficult to program for. It…

GameCube was more powerful than ONE of its two competitors. Which did nothing to help its sales. However it did outprofit both more successful competitors.

Not really. The architecture was nearly identical to the Xbox 360, and was arguably designed as such to make development easier. It made porting from the then-most-popular full-powered console a breeze for the most part.
