You know, I am glad to see the government going after this guy. This is an affront to people who support both the elements that have been joined together in this device: guns and drones. Responsible gun owners would never stand for a gun accessory that took a gun out of the hands of a responsible operator who can take…

I cannot and will not for the life of me understand how the fuck a little ass drone can force somebody flying a fucking helicopter with 9,500 liters of water to land. Can't be a hero anymore, safety protocols forbid them.

It’s hard to admit it, but we might have reached a point in society where knowledge is less valuable than skills such as, say, empathy.

Oh I’ve always been well aware of that, but that doesn’t stop me from inserting dumbass comments. Sometimes I think it’s also about being a little socially awkward, so it’s really just trying to peg something into a conversation where I sound smart or whatever

As you age through the decades you eventually come to realize there are people way smarter than you.. and there’s no real way to tell. :p

Exactly. Reminds me of people who buy near an airport and then demand they enact noise supression policies...

Yes.

Agreed. It will work depending on who you get. I would usually bump them up no problem but several colleagues of mine would just apply the amount to their stay as a credit to be refunded at checkout if not used.

I use the $20 during every single hotel stay. I’ve had about a 90% success rate. Once I even got a penthouse suite. It actually works to the hotel’s advantage. Instead of having a room unoccupied all weekend they fill it and free up a standard room — and those are more likely to be reserved last minute.

I’ve never *tried* the $20 Upgrade but, as a hotel clerk, I can verify that I’ve absolutely given said off-the-record upgrades. City-view rooms magically become Lake-view rooms, free breakfast coupons appear under the door overnight, or Junior Suites become Jacuzzi suites. And I’ll always try to do as much as possible…

Well, it's $35 today if you use the promo code...

As the guy who’s been doing the weekly release lists all year, I can confidently say that more games have been released for the Vita this year than nearly any other console.

I have both the BGE (at home) and this clone (at the cottage). Honestly, for day to day stuff, I don’t notice a difference. The price differential would push me towards another clone if my BGE ever buys the farm, except for one thing:

Glad you guys got out to test this guy! It looks like a solid tent, and your testing confirmed my suspicions in relation to poor ventilation. The increased space is nice, but in high winds I still worry about the structural integrity.

Ironically, you see this in dating as well...there are lots of very very pretty 36 year old women whose profiles demand a guy so unrealistic that it’s sad (and who, if he existed, would probably not date 36 year old women anyway)...in other words, in order to validate being single for so long, the partner (or tenant)…

Seems like drones remove integrity from war. It’s like a professional boxer knows the other guy is throwing the fight on purpose; It wouldn’t feel bad for the inexperienced boxer who’s in it for the money, but for the guy who’s trained his whole life and is actually good at it that would completely suck. Another…

I appreciate and respect the work the authors of this report did, there is a massive trade in exotic pets and animal products. About a mile away from me a few years ago, some outstanding human being was caught selling tickets to an “event” where he was feeding kittens to a 5 ft. long crocodile he raised in his…

Does Spotify make bpm available in its api, or does Go calculate it?

I swear to god if this is a phishing scam in itself, I’m going to break your kneecaps.

ZPM Espresso Machine https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/zpmes… - a total fucking fiasco: estimated delivery date of March 2012. 3 years late and all we have are tons of updates about their complete lack of planning/experience, a bunch of runarounds with compliance issues, and ultimately nothing delivered. Could have…
