I mean, sure, an SSD will have faster load times than a traditional HDD. From what I gather in testing, the difference isn’t really too great on a PS4. Speeds from a USB drive are remarkably good, as well.

You really don’t need an SSD. A traditional drive works fine, even when connected via USB. Western Digital’s 4TB USB drive is regularly sold for around $100, and the 2TB is  even cheaper.

Having no actual cultural association with a holiday has never stopped Americans from adopting it, so I think a lot of us presume that other nations are the same. We tend to just turn them into excuses to drink heavily, though.

The only thing that can stop a bad guy with SpaghettiOs is a good guy with SpaghettiOs. Or Beefaroni. Or Super Hero Shaped Pasta & Meatballs would probably be pretty good.

Yes, they are pushing automation way too fast. We need years, maybe decades more controlled testing before they should be allowed on public roads.

I loved how even when Constantine was drained of life essence and beginning to die, he kept trying to light up.

Nah, no beer or doughnuts back then.  He'd get tired of it pretty quick.

Wait, is the Oscar foil-wrapped chocolate? Maybe it’s not a complete waste of time after all!

I believe the judge and prosecutor/defense attorney go through an extended transformation animation, combine into one big Justice robot, and dramatically produce that large (small, to Mighty Dueprocessdon) verdict. Time stops for a moment out of respect for the process, then the next case is called.

The homeowners, the previous homeowner’s lawyer, and the author of the book. From Snopes:

It wasn’t buyer’s remorse at Amityville. It was fame-seeking.  They were an earlier, more successful version of the Balloon Boy parents.

How does that Kool-Aid taste? It looks and smells like raw sewage, so I can’t imagine it’s any better to drink.

And The Thing has skin made from rocks and is incredibly tough; I doubt a cold breeze gets to him much. Mr. Fantastic can probably close all his pores and make his skin into a windbreaker.

Inasmuch as anything Michael said in season 1 can be trusted, the animals in the neighborhood were constructs, not real animals/animal souls. It would make sense that few real animals would be in the Bad Place, if you accept Melville’s idea that animals are incapable of malice. I’m not sure I buy that for horses,…

He doesn’t like it when nobody gets the answer—er, question. He likes it even less when no one even rings in. In some categories there’s a trick or theme or gimmick that starting at the top eases you into. If you jump straight to the $2000 box in that category you might be confused.

This is a reasonable take. It gives Christmas revelers plenty of time to enjoy without stepping on the toes of Thanksgiving (which is already under assault from this Black Friday nonsense) or going on so long everyone is worn out on Christmas by December 15th.

Yeah, and that Shakespeare hack! Human kindness doesn’t have nipples, so it can’t have milk. Abstract concepts aren’t mammals!

For those that argue that private car ownership is unnecessary and we should all take mass transit instead, here is a good reason for them to shut up. If we take mass transit, we might have to deal with these entitled idiots. If anyone tried to be this obnoxious and vapidly self-important in my car I would leave them o…

For everyone grumbling about how this is supposed to be a comedy, that the tone doesn’t match, yadda yadda, you have to remember that a comedy staple is subversion of expectations. Get the audience expecting a zig, then zag at the last minute.

Attention: it has been pointed out REPEATEDLY that I missed the arbitrary start time of Blade Runner’s release. IT DOES NOT NEED TO BE POINTED OUT AGAIN.
