Based on where he is vs. being in Michigan I’m sure it’s higher, but not as brutal as you might think. The buying power of a Euro in Germany is a little bit better than a dollar in the US, in my experience, which helps with the exchange rate a bit.

I humbly submit to the court that, if Mr. Tracy considers the TUV to be an “absurdly strict ordeal,” relative to the registration process at his home, we can infer that a vehicle is “inspected” in Michigan by sending the DMV a fax with a picture of a golf cart and an IOU for twenty bucks.

God, HGTV is just a 24/7 television version of McMansion Hell except whoever optioned the blog misunderstood the point. You can tell that America is trash because no one who can afford to own or build a home has enough taste to prevent it from looking like someone designed it by trying to simultaneously recall from…

Seriously.  I was shattered until I realized the apostrophe placement.  First The Cosby Show, now this!  John Laroquette better be a saint, because I can’t handle Night Court getting memory-holed.

Inscrutable as ever!  Fine, keep your mysteries!

I’m inexplicably curious about this needlessly uncompromising stance. Would you pay to subscribe to the Washington Post and read stories on their site? Does this include streaming video content, i.e. Netflix?  Do you refuse to read magazines and newspapers, or do you believe the printed word possesses a value that…

I would hesitate to suggest Kotaku take any article down, given GMG history, but something more than the “corrections” made so far seems in order. This piece is tremendously flawed. Its focus appears to be firmly on issues that, while key to the games development, are not key to the experience of playing it. What time…

Those of us who have played Sunshine know that it’s bad, unusual given the quality of other 3D Mario games.

So: none of the “gig” drivers are Amazon employees, they are considered independent contractors. This designation denies them benefits regardless of how much work they do for Amazon, among other problems. I would call this predatory.

Given that the middleman’s financial outlay is a phone, I’d say that there’s plenty of room for the middleman to profit despite overall wages being low. If all the routes are being snagged and distributed via phone, drivers are evidently willing to work for even less than too little money in order to make any money at…

I read it as an awareness of his prognosis, which given Stage 3/4 colon cancer could not have been great, but a belief on Boseman's part that he could beat the odds.

Also don’t sleep on Winston Duke.  In the comics his character is a villain, but they’ve already established a more nuanced take on that character and I’d be interested to see a version of him as a hero, perhaps alongside Shuri as the new Black Panther.

God absolute fucking damnit.  Chadwick Boseman has delivered some fantastic performances in movies I absolutely loved, and by all accounts was a decent guy.  What a tragedy.  This fucking year is just trash on trash on trash.

Oh hell yeah. Better yet, give me a remaster/redux with more of that ship to ship combat. God I loved that game. One of the very few games I basically 100% completed, gotta be Vyse the Legend!

I love the idea that Germany’s inspection requirements are “absurdly” strict. I’d argue that a nation with areas of unrestricted speed limits has an interest in making sure people with bad minivan fetishes have adequate tires and functional wheel bearings.

It think that Dolly Parton is one of those artists who has put out some really timeless tracks. I like jazz, so I like Louis Armstrong, but even if you don’t like jazz Louis Armstrong’s “Over the Rainbow” is iconic. I think "Jolene" (for example) has that same quality.

“Make sure to tell your friends when you’re running through The Vault the first time. I’m sure they’ll have some advice for you.”

*shakes fist in direction of Bloomberg*

Agreed, it’s vastly preferable that the youths of our under-educated and poverty-stricken underclass sacrifice themselves to the altar of perpetual war.  Otherwise we might have to better their circumstances ourselves, like some kind of functioning, compassionate society.

That’s really the cruel irony of beating kids, isn’t it? Children learn from modeled behavior, and when they’re hit the lesson they really learn is that violence is an acceptable, even expedient method of behavior modification. And parents are so shocked when their children act like jerks.
