Any time a study is published, a critical part of analyzing its validity is looking at the testing methodology. In this case, Consumer Reports’ methodology is suspect. Their article says they took almost brand new tires (they had only been driven 16k miles for a treadwear test), then left them outside for a year. That…

At first, I didn’t believe him. There are a lot of men who feel entitled to sex and love, and the dream of meeting beautiful people—whether or not they’re in your league—is key to dating apps’ seductive promise. Why would Hinge hide them? But Anthony slid his phone across the table, and I tapped through his Hinge…

Aw crap, I didn’t even look at the date and had tomorrow’s puzzle spoiled. How are you doing Saturday, August 19th when it’s still Friday, August 18th in the United States?

That’s awesome! Keep up the strong work!

The problem is there is just no business model that provides a living wage for drivers, is affordable for riders, and provides enough revenue for Uber/Lyft to turn a profit. You can get 2 of the 3, but not all 3 simultaneously. There is only so much pie to go around, and any increase to one slice necessitates a cut to…

Seriously. If there was no limit to quicksaves, they would just be called “saves.” I’ve been gaming through 5 decades now, and while I love quicksaves, I would never rely on them for anything I wanted to save with any permanence. That gets its own manual save. 

...an employee adamantly told a Beijing TV station that Angela is not a human...adding that using stand-ins “doesn’t normally happen in state-owned zoos,” The Washington Post reported.

I think it’s probably the opposite scenario. When their wife is not using the TV, they can log off the PC and hop onto the Xbox and continue right where they left off on a big screen with home theater surround setup.

I like to be able to have a beer or a glass of wine with my meal, but I also fear the drunk twenty-somethings. You already have to do so many things in the app, so I wouldn’t mind a system where they somehow limit you to a certain number of drinks per ticket. Some people might say this is too strict, but an adult who…

Thanks for this article. I’d read a handful of “Arc is better than Chrome” articles recently, but they all read like lists of features instead of actually explaining why those features are beneficial to one’s workflow. 

That’s a shame and does the movie a huge disservice. The music was just as important to the overall brilliance of BtAS as the voice acting, writing, and art deco style. 

It’s been decades since I watched Mask of the Phantasm, but is the music they used in the trailer actually in the film? Tonally, it clashes with what my mind remembers of BtAS. 

The New York Times reported he’s renamed conference rooms to “eXposure,” “eXult” and “s3Xy,” because the billionaire has apparently never left the early 2000s when leetspeak was still a thing.

When Michonne was first introduced, they showed her with a pair of shackled, armless, jawless zombies. Without teeth, they couldn’t bite, and something about them kept surrounding zombies docile. Did they ever explain in-universe why they stopped using that approach? It seems like it would be relatively easy to put…

I was going to post the exact same thing. 

Whoa, chill dude. My original comment was just a suggestion on phrasing. All I said is that is the wording is ambiguous, and it seems I’m not alone in thinking that. You’re the one who immediately came out snarky and saying I was “completely wrong” and started a dumb fight over the absurdity of the English language wit…

It’s not though. Nobody says “beyond reasonable” (or at least shouldn’t) in this context because it’s ambiguous. You can say that a demand is reasonable, even very or extremely reasonable, but the phrase where “beyond” is added most commonly is in the legal standard of “beyond (a) reasonable doubt,” as in “he was…

Nobody says “beyond reasonable” in this context. You can say that a demand is reasonable, even very or extremely reasonable, but the phrase where “beyond” is added most commonly is in the legal standard of “beyond (a) reasonable doubt,” as in “he was found guilty beyond (a) reasonable doubt.” In that context, “beyond…

Read my post again. As currently written, the headline is describing SAG-AFTRA’s demands, the ones that were rejected, as “beyond reasonable.” That implies that they were the ones asking for ridiculous things when in fact they were just asking to be treated like human beings. It’s AMPTP’s demands that were…

The aesthetic kind of reminds me of The Witness, which was fantastic. Also, thanks for the Echochrome reminder. I was just thinking about that game the other day and how I never finished it. Too bad I sold my PS3 years ago.
