US Homicide Rate: 4.88 per 100,000
UK Homicide Rate: 0.92 per 100,000

Yeah I think I’d still pick the UK.

Probably a lot more people than you think. It’s estimated there were around 2000 “unintentional shootings” in the US last year: https://www.thetrace.org/rounds/gun-deaths-increase-2017/ 

If that means the rate of gun accidents in the US (.62 per 100k) is actually more than the rate of all gun deaths in the UK (.23 per…

Yes. People are fucking shallow and want to follow someone who they can aspire to be (i.e. tall and attractive). Case and point: the Nixon/JFK debate and the perceived winner in TV versus radio audiences.

This doesn’t mean you can’t be successful if you aren’t a 6'2" model, but you are lying to yourself if you don’t…

It’s standard across European hotels and growing in America. It’s less of a fancy thing and much more of a saving electricity costs thing. Basically all new hotels are getting it and the ones that can afford it are retrofitting their rooms.

If you want to go “deep into Kotaku’s past” you need amiibos for the pre-Kinja interface and Michael Dukakis.

I saw that... I am very curious to see how that ends up playing out.

Ok now reread your own original post. You implied that they should just emulate it. And I responded how you can’t do direct emulation and you would still have to make an actual competent port. So we are literally on the same page: they did a shitty job of making a port.

Only marginally related but one of my favorite college roommate stories is I had an old roommate from a solidly well-off family and he had no experience buying food outside of restaurants. So we are planning a birthday party for a friend and I tell him we still need to buy a small cake and he replies “Oh shit, how…

To be fair those may be close to the median incomes of the average WSJ reader.

To be fair “Brett Stevens” is a waaaaaaay more talented writer than Bret Stephens.

Who is this Bret Stephens you speak of? He doesn’t sound nearly as qualified or intelligent as Brett Stevens.

It’s Bolton for sure. Carlson wouldn’t know how to invade a country in the Mideast whereas Bolton is proud of his handiwork back in 2003 and can’t wait for a new project.

For people who don’t remember: He literally was the undersecretary of state for arms control from 2001-2005 AKA the single biggest voice arguing WMD…

I mean we all thought he had sorted out Tucker Carlson’s entire career on cable news:

I can’t wait for Hannity to get involved in some legal suit and pull the classic Alex Jones, “I just play a character on TV” defense.

I mean there is also this quality line as well from the original article:

No, if you read some of the other reporting you will see that there is definitely something fucked up about this guy:

Except you still have to remap the control scheme and UI, because spoiler alert: most people don’t have a PC with an extra touchscreen. Direct DS emulation just feels weird, half your screen would be taken up permanently by a UI you don’t want most of the time.

I mean hopefully, but GTA IV was also successful on both and RDR didn’t get a port. The only reason there is a difference this time is that Xbox now has basically the same API as Windows 10.

What makes it especially dumb is that the iPhone X is at least fully edgeless aside from the notch. The Android phones mostly still have a bottom bezel because of the space needed to connect the display to the phone (the iPhone X actually bends its OLED display under itself so there is “no chin”). So literally the…

Crab Trump just put out a statement condemning about how the Crabstreet Media promotes all these violent games while the CRA opposes any laws to restrict access to CR-15s.
