I mean, the point is, we just don’t know. We’re taking a vague sense of his word for it that George’s only complaint was audio quality. It may have also been too little of a song, had other issues, or had some ethical concerns. Still feels like, “well, he’s gone now, so we can vote without him” is accurate.

Yeah, I was bothered by the regular use of the phrase “the band” because literally half the band is dead, and if George was opposed to this being released, that reduces the potential number of band members who were in favor of this further. I realize from other quotes that there are implications that George’s main…

Assuming the article is correct, the only two Indians they asked, who are each the equivalent of Tom Cruise back home, declined committing vast time to relearning choreography they performed for literally weeks when filming the actual movie, on incredibly short notice, while one of them was grieving the death of a…

For clarity, Jr. NTR and Ram Charan were in town. Charan had been for weeks, as we saw him along with Rajamouli and the cinematographer and composer do a Q&A at a screening a couple of weeks earlier, although NTR came in much later due to a death in the family. It’s less that they couldn’t be flown out, and more that…

I’m not sure that alone makes you racist, but arguing that certainly demonstrates that you’re incredibly ignorant and out of touch with reality.

Oh, but Morgan Freeman said... /s

It feels a lot like “but we elected a Black president, so clearly we’re not racist.” Is it an incredibly awfully egregious example of the worst of racism in the Oscars? Gosh no. Is it something that people should bring up so we do better in he future? Absolutely.

My wife has an ST, and I have an SE. They’re surprisingly fun, and hers is still worth way more than she owes on it. Well underrated car.

Which runs on top of SYNC3, and is still mired in the problems SYNC3 causes.

I own one. Other than SYNC3 having some frustrating aspects, it’s quite nice, and I will miss its size when I have to replace it with something comparatively massive.

Ed Sheeran’s a big part of the film, and I can’t help but wonder if he’d even be a thing without them. I don’t know his background or influences, but even if The Beatles weren’t directly influential to him, it’s likely whoever and whatever was was influenced by them. The chain that led to him may have been vastly…

My wife and I drove out to do the Octane Academy after she bought her FiST. They got to drive that and the Focus, and most of the people there had Focuses, but a bunch readily admitted the Fiesta was more fun, and the instructors all indicated they preferred it.

As they should.

That’s fantastic to know about. Thank you.

I hate that for something so expensive we have to choose between consoles for it. This has always been an issue with the wheels, and I understand there are all these licensing considerations, but it’s so anti-consumer and unfortunate. Some people are multi-console or shift between generations. Having something this…

I felt like my implication was rather clear, but I guess not. I want games that don’t rely on servers to stay playable. It’s been discussed up and down these threads. A lot of games with full single-player campaigns are still rendered unusable when the servers go down. It’s tiring.

Still a big difference between buying it a year late and requiring it be supported for a decade. I think the difference can be split.

This. The days of collecting classic games and being able to play them for decades to come is all but over. I’m not fully doom-and-gloom here. I love a ton of the advantages of modern gaming, and digital copies of games. But the idea that I could dust off an old console out of a closet and pop in some games for it is…

Account for every device you own is besides the point here. Having to tie your VR account to an unrelated social media account that can be very easily banned for very arbitrary things, locking you out of your entire device and all the games you owned, while also sharing your usage data with a company who’s known for…

I mean, this is a core reason I like Android Auto and CarPlay as concepts. I’d still prefer a much larger screen with an interface optimized for car usage, but outside of that, my phone is more than capable of being optimized to do all of this work. Let the car be really good at being a car, complete with dials and…
