Honorable Mentions (for the kids):

How do I run a .jar application from GitHub without Java?

https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/win10script - Chris Titus has his own with considerably more options. Worth looking into:

I don’t see any of those planned changes as “make aspects of the game that don’t require an internet connection able to be played offline” so it’s still a complete failure in my eyes.

Seeing as I don’t play simulation racers myself, I could even accept arguments that GT games are ‘better’ than the competition. It’s just hard to believe that difference is great enough to justify the incredibly lengthier development cycles. Longer development, better game? Understandable. But is 2-3x the development…

What I never understood about this series is why it takes so long to make it. I understand different games take different lengths of time but does the quality of the title match the amount of additional time it takes to make it compared to similar titles?

As part of the mapping, check for horizontal studs in the space you’ll be running the cables. I just mounted 2 TVs in the past few weeks and with one of them I had to put the bottom part of the power bridge higher on the wall than I wanted because there was a horizontal stud (due to a bathtub on the opposite side) and…

A “wet water filter?” If cars have water filters, what’s the problem? :-P

Also perfectly illustrated with:

Get this: Perhaps it’s (partly) a ploy to inflate box office numbers. SO many news sources report on box office income in comparison to film history without adjusting for inflation so that the higher the ticket price, the more amazing the film appears to have done on paper. “X from this year is the highest grossing…

It’s ‘I hope we never part.’ Now get it right or pay the price.

“Begging the question” is a fallacy wherein the premises assume the truth of the conclusion but good luck stopping people from using it to mean it inspires you to ask a specific question. Some fights are just doomed to fail.

Well, technically my phone isn’t selling me any targeted ads. It may be showing them to me after having been sold to some ad network but they’re not selling any to me.

I’ll believe it when I see it. Not that it’s actually free but that it actually streams.

Does this reference how much the services pay or how much the artists receive? I know when the information about how much Spotify paid labels for music got made public, a big deal was made about how much of a massive cut the labels were taking for themselves which contributed greatly to artists not making much. Just…

I used to use that method but some desktop browsers get stubborn and open new tabs that way even after resizing them back to normal width.

“There are times in life when you must choose a side, and the Super Bowl is one of those times.... The game will be at least 85% more exciting if you desperately want “your” team to triumph...”

“One big delay is better than a few smaller ones”

Very glad to see The Fare getting the recognition it deserves. I always bring it up whenever either time loop or hidden gem movies get discussed.

It often amazes me when sites manage to stretch a tweet’s worth of information into a full-blown article.
