I’m all for experimenting, but sometimes you have enough information to know the outcome without wasting huge amounts of money. There were SOME unknown variables, yes, but the widest swaths of major elements were understood pretty clearly by scientists and engineers who all made it pretty clear this couldn’t work.…

As a former vegetarian, and friend of many vegetarians, vegans, and vegan activists, again, many of them are at the point where they know this level of adherence is ridiculous and harmful to the cause. Feel free to be grossed out by it. But I’m telling what they’ve DIRECTLY told me and preached to others: being too…
I’m probably going to try to swing by one today for the hell of it. I’m not overly fond of their food in general, but I want to try their prep. Would be nice to have one more fast food option I like.
Sorry, I have to go find my eyes after they rolled out of my head from your sanctimonious premise.
Because it IS vegetarian. The only way it is not is that it’s cooked on the same grill. But if your goal is to not contribute to killing animals, it achieves that goal. I know many vegetarians who are fine with that because their goal isn’t to be sanctimonious, but realistic. In addition, they’re insanely better for…
Except this time around it's not just the vegans and vegetarians saying it, it's meat eaters. I'm a meat eater. I've had the Impossible Burger in multiple forms, and several of them are essentially indistinguishable.
“Couldn’t we just have whatever it is, look and taste like whatever it is and still be happy about it?"
There are times in my life when I’ve wanted a BMW pretty badly, but realized I could never shake the reputation. Tesla owners are slowly and reliably destroying my desire to own one.
I’d make a snide remark, but you called yourself out at the beginning well enough, and I learned something. Obviously I was half-assing my language, as you likely knew, but now I know for the future.
I mean, if we get the repairs for free and our prior repair costs refunded, then what exactly are we losing by leaving the class action suit? That's the most we could have gotten out of that anyway. What more did we want, punitive damages for emotional suffering?
May have been $35. I don’t have the receipt handy. It was less than the cost of one Joy-Con. The standard pricing for Joy-Cons, unless I spent time waiting for a sale which I wasn’t about to do, was $50 for a Joy-con. Yes, a two-pack is $70, but there was zero logical reason for me to spend double the repair cost…
Not exactly, no. They were still more expensive new. But I agree it was a bad deal. At that moment I was in a rush for a solution. As I said, I later switched to doing the repair myself.
Warranty was actually 90 days on the Joy-Cons purchased separately from the console. I pushed, but got nowhere. Gave up.
I have no idea what you’re on about. These aren’t general expectations I have, and they weren’t demands. In each case Nintendo offered, on their own, the most charitable solution as they felt the problem was likely to be caused by their own failures. My point is they’ve set a standard in the past of being a company…
As a child I auditioned for a Lambchop special. I auditioned for Shari’s daughter who was incredibly kind and liked me enough to arrange a callback. Without my knowledge, the callback was more or less a singing competition. I was (and still am) a terrible singer. We explained this honestly, and Shari Lewis went on to…
Nintendo, I love you, truly, but that response is not acceptable. I did exactly that. And then I called your support number. And I was told my Joy-Con was out of warranty and I paid you $40 to repair it. You were nice enough to waive the $10 shipping charge, at least. And then I was without a Joy-Con for a week. And…
I’ve been regularly assured by New Yorkers when I talk about how adorable rats are and what great pets they are that if I saw the monstrous rats of New York I wouldn’t feel that way. I’m taking them at their word, but can’t verify this myself.
Thought: Johnson clearly won't ever be an Oscar-winner, nor does he need to make insanely more money than he does. Perhaps he continues to work with this guy because he enjoys doing so. Plain and simple. No, his career doesn't end up heavily advanced, but maybe at this stage that isn't his goal. Maybe he just wants to…
