I’m going to take stab in the dark and assume Mr. Chef doesn’t live in a modest house in the suburbs, where his children attend a public school.

We replaced a gas stove with electric semi-recently, and so far the experience has been perfectly fine. The oven part is obviously no different to use in and of itself, so the learning curve is with the cooktop. That’s also been relatively easy to get used to - the only major difference is that the burners respond to…

There was a script made with Black Adam in it for the first Shazam movie. The Rock lobbied, and won, for them to be separated.

Do you think the vanity nature of the project kept them from making the obvious move of tying the movie closer to Shazam?  Was it a case of “We can’t be a spinoff of a Kid’s superhero movie!”?

Seems he’ll be going to prison precisely because he has a hard time letting teenagers go.

Jaskier is the absolute worst.   I barely made it through the first two seasons, mainly because of him. 

I dunno, I guess you can feel bad about your cheeks, but I think the joke is on the people who paid for this procedure. Cool, you look ill. Get well soon.

Horizon is still being called an RPG..? Surprised Midnight Suns and Dying Light 2 aren’t on the list. Or Grounded. 

I bounced off of FFTA, and I don’t think it was just because of the kiddy aesthetic. It’s also just mechanically different in a lot of ways that some folks don’t enjoy. Also after going back to it a few weeks ago, I’m not a fan of the interface.

I spent my Saturday night making homemade nachos and catching up on White Lotus Season 2

And the complaint about the fat suit...yeah, the filmmakers should’ve just found someone who’s actually 600 pounds but has the stamina, mobility, and overall wellbeing to star in a feature film, and also has acting ability akin to Brendan Fraser. What could go wrong.

Did no one think, “Maybe a movie about a fat guy made by non-fat people needs to do a little bit more than describe fatness as prescription for misery?”

It’s not like Fraiser was a skinny guy when he made it, he was husky to say the least. The movie did not need to hire a 600 pound person for the movie. 

“or 911"

Don’t forget that:

Des it support mods? I don't think I could play without Dwarf Therapist.

I mean, the long and short of it is that nobody was ever going to just say “Alexa- order more soap” because “soap” is a huge category of things, and saying “Alexa- order Irish Spring Bar Soap Original Scent 24 pack 3.7 oz bars” is a mouthful. Particularly given that there’s probably a price below which I’ll just buy…

Consumers aren’t using these pieces of tech for anything more than simple requests, which Amazon and Google can’t easily monetize, which basically undermines the entire reason for the voice assistants to exist in the first place.

I think one of the big points of friction with voice enabled e-commerce is that people really don’t want to conduct interactions in which they will spend money via a technology that feels still prone to miscommunication and an experience that feels like it lacks consent and confidence. As opposed to the written…

Shocking absolutely no one, inventing a use case of “what if you didn’t have access to your phone, or computer (which you needed to set things up anyways), but were at home and had power and internet and wanted to do some shopping” didn’t pan out in the long run.
