Is this not precisely the plan as designed by Swift’s A&R, marketing, social media consultants, and brand designers? To make fans as mouth-frothing crazy as possible for every thing she does so that they spend thousands of dollars each on her product? I mean, I do feel bad for her as an individual, but as a brand,…

It’s contextual. Eating pizza and you get handed a beer. It’s ok. Drinking beers and get handed a slice—amazing.

Kinda pricey for a grocery-getter. 

Are the cigarettes mandatory when switching to wine with my glizzy? 

Using pre-cooked chicken in a stir fry is not recommended. It will be edible, but you’ll lose the true cohesion of flavors normally achieved with short cook time, high-heat stir frying. The resulting dish will end up being stringy with stunted flavor in both the meat and veggies.

I guess every “con” can be a “pro”, if that’s the way you like it to swing. 

It costs too much money, makes your pockets look like swinging udders, not robust enough for outdoor use

One can hope...

HP has been known to keep tight reins on their hardware and software to prevent third party competition, even going as far as to chip ink cartridges to ensure no third party cheaper alternatives or even attempting to re-use OEM cartridges. But there’s always a way. I’m just not knowledgeable enough in this field.

I wish I knew more about machine programing. I’d be writing custom firmware for HP printers and giving it out for free just because of how much I hate this type of scummy corporate approach to enslaving customers and forcing follow up purchases. It would be my #1 favorite hobby. Maybe I should look into learning,…

They thought they could pull off Fortnite’s formula with season passes, but failed to understand that this formula only works if you started with it from day one, not force it on everyone 6 years later.

I’m all for large screens, but give me my god damn physical buttons back WITH the large screen. Voice commands, while better than previous years, are still clunky in real life use and not the answer to no-look operation.

There is an asterisk on the “ray tracing on” page on the twitter post. Says “ray tracing is only available in the garage area of the game”. Given this noted limitation, it may be moot if your rig doesn’t qualify for race tracing, as they might not even use it that much in the game. By “garage”, if they mean a loadout…

True. But the direct approach (“...and Timmy gets nothing!”) is usually reserved for a pointed message after death. Like, “F that one kid in particular”. The passive approach is to just name the kids who get the combined 100% of all assets and avoid naming the kid who gets nothing.

Just a roll of the dice you say? (I’ll see myself out)

If they’d legally adopted him, he would be entitled to the same inheritance as their biological children.

How did that even work on a Super Nintendo? Only 1 D pad and no analog stick. Look/aim and movement were tied? 

I’m not a huge fan of playing Lifeweaver, but would note his primary offensive fire is actually not terrible if you’re consistently getting headshots. A tightening up of shot spray will be pretty significant, to the point I can see even more rando’s only using offense and never healing people in matches.

I would have assumed they would have done what everyone else does as capitalized the cost of construction as a fixed asset that continues to carry value YoY of operation, less natural use depreciation. But I suppose Disney is indeed in a weird position, because unless a building built outside of the park, they can’t…

Note the “accelerated deprecation” quote. That’s strategic language. Disney will use this as a tax write off, basically benefiting from it in the end. In another article on this matter:
