Someone tell me if this is the right analogy: The gov’t discovers that your toaster is defective and just comes into your house without permission to fix it. But they don’t let you watch while they do it. No? 

I ordered a smartwatch for the first time yesterday. I got my girlfriend a nice Fossil for Christmas and have liked the idea of the them but with the work I do I worry about how they’ll hold up. Seemed cheap enough that if I hate it, that it won’t get me evicted. MyKronoz ZeTime hybrid. And a bonus: it’s from…

Very interesting read, thanks for sharing that! 

No, sorry. I’ve had it straight from Israel/Turkey and it’s utter trash. Halvah, on the other hand...

FUCKING THIS. My mom read me those books from a very young age, several times. As a fat-guy in training, I enjoyed my sweets, and had come to see Turkish delight as, like, the pinnacle of the top of the peak of sweets. I mean, this shit would get you to betray your fucking family.

I’ll never buy another Ryobi tool. Last year I was trimming out a house and didn’t want to bring my large miter saw so I bought a $200 Ryobi. The cast fence, where the board butts against, was on two separate geometric planes. Since it’s cast, it’s not something that can bend, but since it was bolted into place it…

I rebuilt a set of 17 metal steps, 10" junior channel, using a Task Force 4 1/2" grinder. Never once overheated it. For the deck plate I had to cut from a 4'x4' square of diamond plate steel so I used a Skil-Saw circular saw with a cutoff blade and went right through. Never overheated. This sounds like a case of…

That’s hilarious

My dad posts this once a year and it’s really the only reason I’m on FB anymore. 

You’re totally right! I started my comment with I know nothing on purpose.(and qualified it with my industry to really drive home my lack of knowledge) So is that a lot in the world of programming? My gut reaction is really, “if someone took something that isn’t theirs then it’s wrong.” But I also don’t love the idea…

I know zero about programming so I had to look a few things up because at first it seemed like a major deal, the 11,000 lines of code. According to the Googles, Android runs 12-15 million lines of code. Assuming the low end of that estimation, 11,000 is 0.09% of that number. I’m a construction and painting contractor…

I am legit baffled by this. This is an imperfect analogy but I think it works a little. Imagine if you went to McDonald’s and got a Big Mac. Along with your sandwich they provided an additional container to scrape your pickles and condiments into, sinec those are just there to carry flavor to the rest of the…

It really was a lot of fun. I would watch more. 

I would love to be able to move the left stick to where the D pad is for Rocket League. I think the only downside for me would be all the muscle memory I have for the D pad quick chats

Really not trying to be shitty but Apex is my main game and I have been coming to the Gizmodo family of sites for a long time. It just stinks to see it forgotten here when it’s still a huge title with a ton of players. Kotaku seems like it’s really just about mobile and single player games these days.

So, every time something happens in another game that you think is unremarkable do you then assume no one else cares? I would argue several things have changed. Buffs/nerfs are important to people who play.Do you play Apex? It sounds like you don’t. Maybe look at another gaming site once in awhile, Kotaku sucks for…

I’m just sad that on a gaming website, the last meaningful article about this game was in November of last year. I bet if Animal Crossing changed a graphic somewhere, though, we would get a 2 week expose and a podcast entry on it. 

Something the article doesn’t take into account, and many of the people replying to you is that most people aren’t giving their kid a brand new car with a nice fresh clutch in it to learn. Maybe because of the hurky jerky starting but still. I have a 1998 S-10 5 speed that I taught my kids with, and it would absolutely…

Ah that makes more sense. It’s shady but damn, they sure are acting like they caught him mid-murder. 

Not to defend them, because this is silly, but it’s just like states in the US who have legalized marijuana of some kind still have their cops posting “drug busts” of a few ounces of weed. They pose around the little baggies with their dogs, arms crossed, looking super tough. Making America great again or something.
