I mean, that is a feature where they turn on automatically, but there’s also the issue of forgetting to turn them off when you get home. My wife does that all the time, so as soon as I start the car, they start up.

Can’t wait for the HD video of the landing. NASA is supposed to have it on Monday I think....hopefully we get to see it shortly thereafter.

Yeah, I suspect it just angles itself and burns it’s thrusters until it’s out of fuel to get as much distance as possible between it and the rover then crashes wherever that may be.

I really (sometimes) find it amazing how blatantly corrupt the GOP is. They don’t even hide it anymore. Anytime there’s some “bad” news, whether it’s COVID, technology, climate change, clean energy, minority or women or LBGTQ+ rights, voting, etc., the GOP is behind it, 99 times out of 100 (being generous I think). So…

I’m going with Netflix because I strive to watch new things, and they have so much (and so frequent) original programming that I rarely have issues finding something to watch. Yes, there’s a lot of clutter, but there’s so much good stuff (170 Emmy noms last year alone) that any complaints about “mediocre” or “bad”…

That’s great! However, I’m more interested in graphical/performance upgrades though on an actual Series X version than playing the last-gen version, which is why I’m okay just waiting for it. Perhaps they’ll address some of the gripes/issues I’ve seen in videos as well.

I got so frustrated with that game when I first started it I nearly gave up. But once I gave up on the Doom 2016 gameplay approach, I enjoyed it. I’m with you on the level design though.

Going to try to finish up The Medium. It crashed on me a few hours into it and then my saves were gone. Yay. Not sure being forced to replay it from the start counts as replayability....

I have a Series X and will probably pick this up once the version is out for it (and by then hopefully many of the bugs are patched). I’m not planning on buying the current version and then sitting on it for a year waiting for the upgrade to happen.

I switched to Google Maps once speed trap reporting came to it because unlike Waze (at least at the time), Google Maps would tell you which lane(s) to be in. For example, it would tell you the left lane exits left, the 3 middle lanes go straight and the two right lanes exit right. Helps when I’m in unfamiliar rush…

I believe those Waze features were incorporated into Google Maps awhile ago as well (since Google owns Waze but it did take quite a awhile to start getting the Waze features into it). I’m actually not sure what Waze has now that Google Maps doesn’t...been awhile since I’ve used it.

oh man, I had forgotten about that show, which I guess is understandable since it was only 8 episodes. For those wondering, it’s “Quark”

I’m excited to revisit the trilogy. My biggest complaint about it (and this goes for many games) is the sense of “must defeat the reapers and save the universe and time is of the essence” is really hampered by side-missions. I wish the whole thing was more streamlined to keep the sense of urgency. It’s one of those…

This! I opened a Robinhood account last week but never put funds in but had all my existing stuff in Fidelity. I have had zero issues this week buying and selling GME (only issue is the removed the ability to buy fractional shares yesterday but not sure if that’s a Fidelity decision or not).

I think you’re missing the part where they have to pay interest (daily I think) on their shorts, which is costing them billions as the price rises. To get out of paying that interest, eventually they have to buy the stock back to return to the lender, which is what WSB is waiting to happen. Just gotta keep the stock…

So for example if I’m hanging four 8x10 pictures in a 2x2 pattern should the middle of all 4 be at 58" (so the middle of the top row is way above 58" and the bottom row is way below 58")? Or should the middle of the top row be at 58"? Or other?

As a 48 year old dad to a 3 year old and a full time job and other hobbies, I get to play games maybe 5 hours a week, if that. I’ve been avoiding long games for awhile. I need shorter but good single-player games. The last long game I played was Witcher 3 and that took me about 5-6 months to finish. I’ve had Red Dead…

Aw man, I was really looking forward to this. At least it’s on GamePass so I’ve already pre-installed it and will play it anyways. Just disappointed it doesn’t sound nearly as good as I was hoping it would be.

I just finished Narcos on Netflix a few days ago (yes, I’m behind on my binging) and they never once mentioned his cocaine hippos.

It’s easy to get desensitized when the 8am scandal that would have ended most presidencies is quickly overshadowed by the 1pm scandal.
