Nerds Rope is the true king of rope candy.

Honestly at this point I think the game might just be dead. They are just throwing things at the wall trying to fix problems they themselves keep creating. 

Yeah there are actors who get animation and those that don’t. vin diesel voicing groots thousands of lines in multiple languages is great. The rock in Moana is pretty fantastic. Mark Hamill is a god damn lord of VA.

Is it a live action series? because is if it is animated I weep for the crunch those poor animators are about to be put through.

I’m glad that they are making the disc drive detachable. hopefully microsoft follows suit as I think that’s going to make it a lot easier for people to choose a console that’s right for them if they have an option to upgrade it later.

The problem with the XBone launch was less that Microsoft was doing nonsense and more that they really misunderstood their audience. when you actually look at WHY they were doing no used games sales, where you could share your library with up to 9 friends, it was actually really pre-consumer but of course we didn’t…

We only need to eat two billionaires to change that trajectory. Once is a freak occurrence, two is a pattern.

Yeah I was going to say that happened already so I feel like this might just be a filler synopsis or a mistake.

You drove there didn’t you? Then your face and your license plate are already in a database that is tracking the places you visit and what you buy. Then data aggregators are buying all the piece meal data and forming data packs that are then sold to advertisers and other companies to better target you with products.

The problem I see is that it is hard to determine intention when restoring something that is over 80 years old. An example is old video games. Many were develop for crts where the blurry image would actually make the visuals for things like wheels actually make sense and there is heated debate among retro gamers…

Accept regardless that data is going to be harvested whether you like it or not. Might as well get something of value oit of the deal.

It actually wouldn’t cost much, we already have 90% of the system in place thanks to social security and disability payment processing. The only real costs would derive from setting up access via an online portal and passing legislation that requires banks and credit unions to perform the transactions as a…

The big thing with the older bolts is to watch out for the ones that don’t have DC fast charging. Mine doesn’t but I also use it exclusively as a town car so it’s not a big deal for me. I think it was 2019 when they made that feature standard in the base model as my 2017 bolt does not have the DC fast charging.

The problem with the leafs is that the cooling and battery composition is pretty rough so a lot of the older examples while rated for 84 miles of range they tend to be half that or worse. they can be great little commuter cars but especially in colder regions the older ones are very risky as you can end up stranded.

It’s interesting to look at a restoration like this because while objectively the restoration is better (details that have previously not been visible are visible and colours pop more) I kind of like the warmer tones of the original pre-restoration. I’m sure switching my tv to warm colour mode will fix that but it is…

Honestly I would love to see this more often, like an appetizer sampler but for sides and for a single person.

Hot Take: I believe we should strive towards a cashless society.

I actually disagree, I much prefer mobile apps for ordering food compared to order at the intercom. with an app I don’t have to try and explain what I want I just set everything and it’s on the ticket in a way that the person producing my order can understand.

if it were a massive fee I would be mad but most mom and pop shops near me just apply the fee they get to the customer when they use plastic (4%) which doesn’t amount to much at a fast food joint. So I really don’t mind it. plastic is just way more convenient and especially for the tap and pay it’s way more secure…

My company is the same way, a lot of people found remote work to be their ideal work environment so they downsized the local office to a smaller but ritzy-er location
