Can we also talk about how you have to click about four buttons just to read one reply to one of your posts? Read more

Yeah, this isn’t “what their customers want”, which is really just at least one USB-A port and maybe 2 more USB-C ports... this is just about marketing MacBooks as “tools for artists” again.

Minor nitpick... 1990 is the last year of the 1980s (1981 was the first year of the 1980s). Like when you count to 10, you start at 1 and end at, you know, 10, rather than starting at 0 and ending at 9... :)

It’s not about sex, it’s about power.

You may want to dismiss ol’ bennyboy - it’s troll trash.

Don’t comment on the internet if you don’t have a brain. 

I won a top-notch mummy bag in a raffle at a charity bike ride several years ago. I think it’s rated down to 0* F or -10* F, something like that. Since then, it has lived in the trunk of my car because I live in the snowy north and I refuse to be one of those stories on the news. If I ever get stuck while driving, at… Read more

It was much worse, they went after individual users of Napster.  Trying to bankrupt grandmas and shit.

That’s what you get for suing Napster. 

Also helpful were the shearling wool overcoat I snagged at a thrift store years ago, and the crampon-adaptable mountaineering boots purchased in 1999 for my post-high school Outward Bound course in Alaska.

It’s been rough in my Dallas apartment complex; yesterday was the first one with pretty much full power, though I know people who haven’t had it for three days, as well as some who never lost it at all. Water has still been off and on, as apartments all around me have burst pipes. The roads have inches of ice and… Read more

I’m also in the west... My only option besides Comcast is DSL, which is 1/6 of the bandwidth for about the same price. And we’ve used it in the past, it went out way too often. Read more

This scene would have been 1000% better if, after she dropped the necklace, Paxton had just lost it. What with needing to pay back the Russians for the whole expedition...

“Well that’s great, that’s just fuckin’ great lady. Now what the fuck are we supposed to do? We’re in some real pretty shit now man... That’s it man,… Read more

Yeah, is this facetious? Just dumb? I utterly fail to understand the point of this article.

Correct, it’s Bill Paxton’s techie sidekick.

That explain also those old man boobs in The Irishman.

The amount of CO2 from air travel is nothing compared to that of power generation, which—theoretically—is the easier problem to solve. Read more

I mean, they know full well that they broke the TOS; their whole goal is to upend the TOS so that there isn’t anything to take responsibility for.

Oh trust me, I know all about those fires. I don’t live very far from there and frequent Silverado Canyon quite often. In fact, I vicariously lived the evacuation through a friend and coworker that were forced to leave their homes at 5am during mandatory evacuations. Read more

NPR has a bit better report on this, and they received confirmation it is Skysilk hosting them.
