The lesson we all need to learn from this and NieR: Automata is that when somebody asks you, “Why is this character design horny?”, it’s perfectly acceptable to answer “Because I like it.”

I was interested in MGS V before Quiet’s reveal. I had never played MGS before and was curious about it. And then the director, who I had never heard of before that, said that people should be and would be ashamed of themselves for questioning his genius about Quiet’s outift, and I immediately lost interest.

If you’re considering floor outlets, just remember: walls are much easier to patch than floors. If you want to relocate a wall outlet, you just need to patch the drywall and repaint. If your outlets are in the floors...you could be in for a lot of work for a patch that even after all that work still won’t match. Think…

“If we continue to coalesce around the four or five genres, then we won’t get the new players because those people have already said we’re not interested in your genres,” Layden said. “Don’t kid yourself that someone who’s said ‘no’ to Call of Duty for the last 15 years is going to start suddenly saying ‘yes’ to Call…

Because the person whose card was stolen will contact their credit card company, which will retrieve their money from your account. If you haven’t sent the money to the scammer, this is fine. If you have, you sent YOUR money (not the victim’s money) to the scammer. The victim will still get their money back from your…

I started using Capital One’s virtual credit card numbers. I assigned one to PayPal, then every service I use. They offer a browser plugin to generate a new virtual number when I make a purchase online and let you lock the card after a certain date. I don’t know if other cards have that, but it’s been a great benefit…

Stop thinking about it so hard and just get AAA.  The limitations I’ve found with other options like with your credit card and auto insurance, unless you have a specific type of incident, you dont have the protections that AAA offers in their basic plans.

Like in many situations, it depends. My wife and I dipped our toes into the world of EV ownership back in Spring of 2016 after test driving our friend’s leased Fiat 500e. We looked into lease one for as low as $49/month, but the $1340/yr insurance was too much to swallow. Instead, we opted to buy a used…

Your TV might have a setting called something like “volume leveling,” which is also to change the dynamic range. This is meant to make the quiet parts louder and the loud parts quieter. Sometimes this helps a lot. Sometimes it doesn’t, or it makes it worse. You can experiment and see which is better. On our TV, we…

Also, while we’re on the subject, can we talk for a second about how completely unnecessary a 900-mile EV is? Why not use a battery a third of the size to give us something much more affordable with a still-useful 300-mile range? Hauling around a battery you barely even use would just be wasteful.

Timber framing doesn’t just mean any building framing made of wood. It refers to a type of construction using heavy square beams fitted together with mortise-and-tenon joints instead of nails, that was used for well over a thousand years but hasn’t been common in the US since the mid-19th century. It was superseded…

In general, use dried herbs early in the process and fresh herbs late. Dried herbs need to spend time in the pot to release their flavors but fresh ones wilt quickly and are best used sprinkled on at the end.

Well this is a promise that would result in a lawsuit. Not the implied promise that whatever free web app they developed is guaranteed to be supported ad infimum.

I mean I’m still using the free Google workspaces from a decade ago.  I miss google reader.. never fully explored google wave but it looked promising.  I…

If there’s one thing I know about Google, it’s that they can be trusted to keep their promises and support things for a long time

I used to only run fast and focus on time, but I had no endurance for long runs. This works for me - I run on a treadmill at a high incline, and change speed every 0.1 miles. I start at a slow jog, then keep increasing the speed until I finish a mile, then I return to the slow jog and repeat for every mile after that.…

Alternatively: Cawleen, Sheryl Crow, That’s so Raven (semi-related). 

hey!

We’ve been training a crow in our backyard this summer. She definitely recognizes us and will “ask” for food. We’ve named her Monicaw

Why stop at crow, think BIG my friend. Expand your arsenals to hawks, eagles and condors.  You know things that can do REAL damage to your enemies lol.  I see a dude with a freaking eagle on his should I see a dude I am NOT messing with.
