Eh. Given that the ICE-ing seems to be a red state thing, the trucks are spotless, and they have the time and inclination to be low grade assholes who don’t accomplish anything productive but ruin some people’s days for fun, I think it’s reasonable to assume they are likely gun owners who would escalate quickly. Of…

Eh. Pretty sure they are on private property without permission, so they are technically breaking a law, though I acknowledge that police, and especially red state police, might not see it that way (not to stereotype, but it seems blue state police may be more aware that someone who drives a Tesla might also be in the…

Heh. Just walk up, all friendly as you can, “oh, did you get an electric conversion? I think you forgot to plug in..." then ask them what size battery they got, insist on explaining where the plug goes, ask if conversions get free charging, and generally just don't hear them when they say they are blocking the pump.…

I mean, I'm actually surprised this video beat videos of Teslas hanging out blocking gas stations. Of course, that doesn't take a Tesla, I had to wait 10 minutes the other day for a dump driver to get his jerky stick. 

I don’t know a thing about rural Texas but I’m pretty sure you would get yourself shot in Boston on either end of this. Just because rural Chads may not be the issue doesn’t mean this will not result in more-than-implied violence.

Easier yet, by a pixel 2XL or a 3 (not XL), and have your phone storage filled with useful things instead of garbage.

Verizon has zero coverage in my house. It’s a wood frame in well inside the major city... of Seattle. Not exactly some backwater farm. We are even more or less near the top of a hill.

I have had enough issues with my Pixel that I will consider an LG or HTC (or a one+) next time, but not a Samsung. Never again, not even with Samsung Pay and $300 less for basically the same hardware. Between an S6 that was a dumpster fire and a dryer that died after 13 mo and cost almost the replacement cost to…

Sound was off for me by default...

I mean, I think the Chromecast is fine, but after 5 years maybe they could have knocked a few $ off the price? I mean, mostly, who doesn't have a chromecast yet who wants one?

In the FREEZER? I just accidentally left a beer in the freezer, and while I fully acknowledge the difference in alcohol contents, it was NOT good for the beer and that seems seriously too cold to me.

Heh. This was pretty good until you went to Microsoft. They may be better than they once were, but as someone who spent years on an MSDOS system, your espousing the virtues of MS seems pretty laughable to me. 

Water is almost certainly cosmically abundant. You wouldn’t travel light years to grab some water, you would capture celestial debris. You could make a case that they just want to use our saltwater which you could potentially sift through for trace elements much faster than meteor and comet ice, but that’s sort of…

This was my favorite thing about District 9. They were just craah refugees, with the one smart alien trying to get the ship going again while the rest f'd around but mostly just did normal stuff. Seems like a way more likely scenario than actual invasion. 

Absolutely. The rediculous thing here is we haven’t seen a hint of the storefront. Will it have good chat? Who knows? Will it have something like steamplay? Who knows? Will it do good promotion of its sales without causing everyone to cancel their updates? Who knows. Valve has had years to master these things, but…

No, it would be 'in our six month observation window, we observed 22 twerks' because the unit includes collisions.

Of course these black hole mergers do release energy, and huge amounts of it too. The first merger detection was of an energy release equivalent to several times the rest mass of the sun (E=mc^2 style).

A hole in the top, or the whole thing is useless.
