It’s just different priorities for different people. Some people think anything past 60Hz is a waste of refresh rate, yet I’m a big fan of 144Hz monitors. On the flip side, a lot of people will willingly take a significance performance hit for the best anti-aliasing they can get, whereas I really don’t care so much…

I’ve tortured the poor machine with more than 20 open Google Chrome tabs at a time, because I have the world’s shortest attention span and hate clicking on small Xs.

That’s technically true, but why would someone actually do that? How many people actually routinely look up random, no-name people from memes in the off-beat chance that they’re not actually random no-name people?

According to a teardown I saw once, they’re basically a Mobil One filter with a hex head on the end. I've heard the Mobile One filters are highly regarded, so I go with the K&N for the convenience of the hex head. It allows me to tighten and loosen the filter in places where other types of filter wrenches won't fit.

Technically, GMG does own Kotaku. These days it stands for Gizmodo Media Group instead of Gawker Media Group.

Better paint that circle with tritium, or you've doomed yourself to nothing but nighttime repairs.

Agreed. I once had a prop rod that kept falling out of its pivot hole, and I had to work on another car with a severely bent prop rod. The only surefire way to keep a hood from falling down is to not have a hood.

If it’s done with CGI, it doesn’t qualify as a stunt.

Agreed. My sister was once hit from the rear while driving an old Mercury Grand Marquis. The car could drive away from the crash under its own power, but the cosmetic damage to the rear bumper was more than the car was worth. She wanted to keep the car, so the car ended up with a salvage title. The car kept going for…

Exactly, and with gift cards that can be used like debit cards, a kid can easily perform online transactions without having to get their parents involved. If I were a kid these days, that’s exactly what I’d do to keep my parents out of my business.

It’s hard to put parental controls on an account if your kid creates their own account without your knowledge.

If a kid can figure out a way to stream latency-free gameplay via a VPN the school wasn’t able to block at a network level, they deserve to be able to play all the videogames in class they want.

Herman should play Burial at Sea, since it adds an interesting twist to Daisy’s actions.

It’s amazing how often people seem to forget that GPS maps tend to be using the same map databases that even paper maps use. It’s not like GPS uses deliberately inferior maps.

Last summer I drove a car with no A/C on a 109-degree day in Friday rush-hour traffic. Rolling down the window felt the way it does when you open an oven to check on a turkey. In many areas, A/C is a critical mental health aid. If it's about saving money, I'd rather buy no car at all than buy one that's trying to…

Given that some live insects are in fact shipped chilled (ladybugs for example), it's a reasonable question to seek an answer for.

Some quick research points to a few problems. One is that bees actually generate quite a bit of heat, which makes them an active load on the cooling system. Another problem is that refrigerated trailers aren’t really meant to chill a load from room temperature. They’re typically loaded with pre-chilled product and…

Given that the typical American descended from European settlers, that just makes the joke more accurate.

The author of that article clearly has not seen what children’s imaginations can do in games like Minecraft.

No, there’s more to it than that. I’ve been on the receiving end of sexual harassment on a number of occasions, and I’ve learned that resisting the harassment often is treated by the perpetrator either as an insult, or as some insight into my sexual orientation. So either I somehow become the bad guy for not welcoming…
