Sure, if you like dune buggies, but we’re talking battlecars

Look, I’m not a supporter of trump, but the president doesn’t have to show up to a disaster scene looking like was in the disaster and he doesn’t have to dress like he’s going to pitch in personally to the effort, I don’t see anything wrong with the fact that his pants were pressed in the morning like they’re probably…

Will the purchase of this box go towards buying gold platted marital aids for the employees of cards against humanity? if not, I’ll just donate to their black friday deal instead.

I thought you were serious until you mentioned that asshole’s church. The world is getting crazy.

No, he has a concept for underground tunnels that transport cars on ai controlled electric carts, which I’m pretty sure is what he’s working on right now (though hyperloop would probably be better underground)

I’m willing to bet that the dad’s insistence on the last name is more about establishing a connection with his child than anything “patriarchal”. The baby is going to look waaaay more chinese than european and the dad is worried that he’s not going to look like part of the family. By giving the baby his last name,…

Notably those tunnels don’t have automated car-carrying cars driving autonomously at break neck speeds through them.

I actually like taylor swift’s music unironically (I blame the music on the corporate station I worked at in college, she had one song on there that was distinctly better than all the others), but this just feels lazy as hell. Even I know that you can’t just repeat the same words to a beat and call it a song and I…

I just tell people I’m spending the year dead for tax purposes, that works pretty well. Plus there’s usually a good spread when someone mistakes the reference for a real event and decide to throw a wake. Its win-win!

yea, but thats true of everything. price isn’t an indication of quality, but often high quality items are more expensive

well, to a degree. the drivers in headphones do have noticeable quality differences between a low end (say, $30 pair) and a medium tier (say $200), though the difference between medium and high is probably less pronounced. You also have products in there which are not well made but priced to make you think they are,…

I loved that segment though, and there is a fair amount of wisdom in everyone ignoring the nazis, if we give them no attention than they have no power. (Similarly, if Don John’s antics during the campaign were properly shutdown, he wouldn’t have had the following and momentum that he did). And sometimes you just need…

The boots theory of socioeconomic unfairness is wildly true. I’ve spent at least $300 on various pairs of headphones which have all failed in spectacular fashion in the time that I’ve been dying to buy a pair of really well designed headphones which only cost $250 and would have lasted that time period. If you can…

But there’s literally no learning curve. 50 year old luddites and babies can pick up an iphone and be good to go.

iPhones are fine for the average user, great even. They’re a perfect example of how proper ui/ux should make things intuitive and easy for the end user without a need for an explanation of every little thing. The problem comes when your users are kids and “easy” becomes a crutch that fails to properly stimulate…

Is anyone else shocked that zooey deschanel is making low budget youtube videos about how to use a toilet seat cover?

I’m a programmer, I’ve developed in everything from c to javascript and for everything from web servers to embedded computers, and I got my interest in computers watching my dad tool around with DOS and worked my way through a succession of old computers starting with an old apple 2e, moved on to 3.1 and 95, learned…

What did they do that tore a nation apart and lead to the deadliest conflict in the history of the nation?

The founding fathers weren’t perfect, and they did a lot of things we would consider to be reprehensible now, but general lee and the rest were the only ones who did reprehensible things then. Its a pretty big difference if you ask me.

Looking at those screenshots I instantly got angry that nintendo put out a console with gamecube level graphics in 2017 and had to look up the ps4 screenshots to compare. Shockingly those are only slightly better. I think that should have been the first clue that this game wasn’t going to be well made.
