Which series? My statement wasn’t mean to speak for all series. In any media you’ll have variable quality but, the majority of series are starved on the time and money fronts. Back in the 90’s and early 00’s you’d sometimes run into series that ran so low on budget that they had to go for black-and-white or even line…

This was also a movie. Television animé has really short production schedules and underpaid animators. I don’t really expect the same level of quality out of it anymore.

It already exists at least in Frankenmuth, MI. Bronner’s is a Christmas megastore open every day of the year except Christmas day.

It’s not a monopoly thing. Well, it’s not a Netflix monopoly. Netflix has to get streaming rights to each title in each country/region they want to stream it in. That means that they have to negotiate streaming rights for the American market separately from the Canadian market, the Austrailian market, the United…

Just like in a casino, the house makes a lot of money, a few players make a lot of money, some players make a little money, some players lose a little money, and the vast majority of players lose a lot of money.

The problem with the built-in smart TV apps is that the hardware used for the smart features will be obsolete in 2-3 years but, the TV will still have 7-8 years of useable time left. I personally prefer to get a dumb TV with as many HDMI ports as I can and use a set-top box, stick, or even a computer connected via…

The Chromecast does (from Android) if you’re running (I think) KitKat or above. I know it works with Lollipop but, I can’t remember if it was added in Jellybean, KitKat, or Lollipop itself. I’ve used it with my Android 5.1.1 Galaxy Nexus and my brother used it with his Android 5.1 HTC One M8.

If it travels fast enough relative to the observers off the ride (or accelerates quickly enough/enters an area of different gravity) that will cause time dilation. Of course, that’s not going to change much for the people on the ride but, more (or less) time will pass for them than those in line.

That...makes sense. A state that does that would have to change how they pick jurors (probably base it on State ID/drivers license lists rather than voter registration) but, I don’t see why it can’t scale to states with higher population numbers.

Those articles pay for these. I actually see it as being a rather ingenious way to pay for investigative reporting in this day-and-age.

I am completely in favor of making voting easier. If someone is actually worried about illegitimate voters, you can make intentionally voting illegally (in the wrong area/as a non-citizen) a major felony. You just have to make sure that you don’t blame voters for government negligence. For example, if the government…

Maybe if more states do what Oregon and California are doing and make voter registration opt-out rather than opt-in, more people will vote. I’ve known people who knew when election day was but, somehow, didn’t know that you had to be registered 30 days in advance at your home address (in Michigan, my state) to…

Social Security would be just fine if we stopped allowing other government departments to borrow money from it. Even then, since our government hasn’t managed to fall completely off the debt default cliff yet, those treasury bonds that the Social Security fund has purchased should keep the fund solvent for the next…

The guy who posted the rant is pointing out the fact that some people have actually defended the boat physics by calling it realism. That’s why he said that. It’s expanded upon in some of his posts on the Reddit thread.

The rumor is that Minecraft 2.0 will combine the codebases. I hope that will still allow the PC version to be moddable (that modding API has been “on the way” for years now) but, no one knows.

My handwriting still suffers from a similar issue. I transferred from one school to another in my district in 3rd grade. My first school was just teaching script when I transferred but, my new school taught it in 2nd grade and required all handwritten work to be turned in written in script starting in 3rd grade.…

I can’t talk about other schools but, I don’t think I can name more than half of the EU capitals. I’ll admit that it’s been some time but, our world history class ended shortly after World War II and went no further. I knew a kid who was born in Czechoslovakia and some of our books (I graduated high school in 2003,…

We didn’t do any dissection until 10th grade Advanced Biology in my district and we dissected either piglets or late term pig fetuses (I can’t remember which but, they were pretty small). I wish I didn’t take that class. Not because of the dissection but, because I’m wasn’t (still not really) into biology. I nearly…

Would this one work on Sprint? I thought the Nexus 6 only had one American SKU but the Amazon page says that it’s not CDMA compatible.

Unfortunately, I think it’s about time for me to replace my Galaxy Nexus. Especially since it didn’t get (officially) updated to KitKat or Lollipop and won’t be getting Marshmallow either.
