A rust patina can work well in certain contexts. But it didn’t make any sense in that room, and just looked hideous. It’s not the sort of thing you just randomly throw into just any room for no reason.

Your manual save would be overwritten when you manually saved the game for the first time in the new game, and your autosaves would gradually be overwritten when you played long enough to go through them all.

My understanding is that it’s like a culinary boot camp, where the kids get intensive cooking lessons as a group before it starts and between shows, including techniques they would need to be able to do the challenges. A lot of them seem to have been aspiring child actors rather than chefs before being cast on the…

Yup, it sounds like they’re buying that property not because they think the development will bring new souls to save, but because it’s cheap now and there’s a chance that it could become valuable. In the meantime, their privileged religious tax status means it doesn’t cost them as much to park their assets there as…

Wow. I would have guessed Zoe and and Ilana were younger, because of how recently they played younger seeming characters. I would have guessed Scarlett and and Kate were older. With Scarlett, it’s not because she looks older, but because of the length of her career. With Kate it might partially be because she’s…

My parents retrained for higher paying jobs right around the time I was in Kindergarten. They were struggling when I was young, but I didn’t know, and by the time I was old enough to understand, they weren’t. They still lived in a working class town, so with middle class jobs our family had more than most of our…

One of our old neighbors specifically bought the house he did because the garage was easily big enough to park his plane inside. I think he parked it at the air field most of the warm months, and in the garage during the cold ones, though I can’t say I paid as much attention to his comings and goings as this guy’s…

I’ve never used Lyft, but my experience with Uber is that you can’t book a transaction until there is a specific driver already available. You can track them in real time from that point on, and they don’t usually appear to be dropping someone else off first, but I use them infrequently enough that I could be…

The only time you would text your driver would be when they were still on their way to pick you up. And the next customer wouldn’t start texting until after you had arrived. So only the driver’s safety is impacted by this particular issue. It’s a good policy, which Uber should adopt, but it’s not something that…

If every 6 months he predicts a major downturn, then years later he can point to the one nearest to an actual downturn and ignore all the others, making him look brilliant to people with short memories.

Yes, if white people collectively voted Trump, black people collectively sat this one out, with lower voter turnout. It’s a stupid way to look at the world, and one that is convenient to and actively encouraged by the people working directly against your interests.

I don’t think it is. The first thing I thought about when reading this case was a girl I went to high school with got life for doing something similar (long before Facebook). As in this case, there were boys in her gang to provide the muscle to kidnap the victim, but she was the instigator and actively involved in…
