The most significant difference is in the GPU, where the Series S has a custom-made AMD chip that’s roughly 1/3 the performance of the one in the Series X (which is also custom-made).

AMD, in terms of supplying these chips, is limited by the semiconductor company that makes them: TSMC. What happens is that the lower…

Yeah. It’s not exactly a triangle, since that implies all of the sides are connected in a roundabout way (and the term love triangle has almost always been a misnomer, or misused, for exactly that reason).

What it is is that Laura and Cory both like Bradley, and Bradley only appears to like Laura. There’s nothing…

The Daniel arc (or lack thereof) was the most frustrating part of the entire season for me.

He was incredibly relevant for the first 3 episodes (getting stuck in China when Covid hit, then angling to get the evening news spot, then butting heads with the higher ups and going off the reservation when they try to placate…

The issue arises in that an NFT, for all of the talk about getting compensation for artists who would otherwise go uncompensated, and providing a digital proof of original ownership, is still a digital paradigm that is subject to all of the potential foibles of anything that exists solely in the digital realm.

For…

“Price” as an economic concept is merely a variable that is relative to the good or service it’s attached to; it means absolutely nothing on its own. What matters is “value”, of which price is a determinant, but not the only one.

A $20m Renoir has a higher price than a $3 carton of eggs, but the value of the eggs to…

I’d put Viola Davis for the next one.

All she’s missing is a Grammy, and a spoken-word album or something of that manner could easily get her one.

You’re absolutely right.

I remember a conversation I had on here concerning gay actors and roles where the characters are gay. Being gay myself (and black), I’ve thought about this a lot. The crux of the conversation concerned already-existing characters who are adapted or changed in some way from the already-existing…

The other big issue that it causes is a purposeful ignorance of real stories and real people that are just as captivating, if no moreso, than the fantastical stories they bandy about in an incredibly clumsy manner.

Merely plopping a black person, or a gay person, or a trans-person in a role and saying “diversity”…

You’re right, but I also don’t think that Tommy’s age, or his look, was particularly relevant to his character.

There’s also the salient reality that some people just live a hard life and age like milk and not whiskey. I think the audience are willing to extend their suspension of disbelief for a fictional character…

They wouldn’t de-age Bob Odenkirk because de-aging is expensive and takes a long time in post-production. Plus, Bob Odenkirk is of an age in both Better Call Saul and Breaking Bad to where he hasn’t actually visually aged all that much, regardless of the time period difference.

If they were trying to say that Saul and B…

The difference is that the vast majority of people wouldn’t know who Tommy DeSimone was, or what he looked like, due to the fact that Goodfellas came out in 1990, DeSimone “disappeared” in 1979, and most moviegoers couldn’t readily research the actual people who the movie based characters on because of the general…

Angela Bassett is a goddess, but even she, in certain pictures, looks a bit too “tight” in places where, facially, a 62 year old should be showing more age, namely around the eyes and the brow.

The issue with Marg Helgenberger is entirely due to her bone/dental structure.  All the plastic surgery in the world can’t fix…

They’re really only off-color when you consider that this is at a “roast” of a dead guy. Not knowing the nature of the relationship between Sarver and Beckmann, it could either be right up the alley for Beckmann and Sarver, were he alive to hear the jokes, or incredibly offensive considering he just, you know, died.

If…

My feelings on leaving money for the next generation is encapsulated perfectly by what Warren Buffet said concerning his kids: “I will leave them enough where they feel they can do anything, but not so much they feel they have to do nothing.”

To play devil’s advocate, Aaron certainly has the resources to get to LA and do whatever he wants. Further, any quarantine relating to being Covid-19 positive is entirely voluntary. The restrictions on travel within the US have been lifted, and having just flown out of state roughly a month ago, at no point was any…

Counterpoint: The Williams Sisters signed off on the movie (and are Executive Producers), and given that both are still active in the WTA, there really isn’t any other movie he (or anyone else) could really tell that wouldn’t otherwise encroach on their current careers.

Haha, I’m just trying to be as objective as an on-looker can be considering we don’t personally know Bezos, Lauren, or Leo for that matter.

I just get the sense that Bezos is at the financial and age point in his life that he’s gonna be with someone he wants to be with. He could’ve easily gotten together with a…

I personally found it funny in the context of how Jeff and Lauren got together; they were having an affair, and executives from the National Enquirer who were Trump supporters (and Trump hates Bezos because of the Washington Post, which Bezos owns) purposefully leaked the affair. Mackenzie asked for a divorce, Jeff…

I remember reading a book by Michael Lewis called The New New Thing, concerning the rise of Silicon Valley and the new brand of entrepreneurship, and one of the main takeaways was that even with the vast amount of wealth that many of these guys (and it’s mostly men) have acquired, at the end of the day, a lot of them…

Ideally, yes, but I’m pretty sure this was a situation of the left hand not knowing what the right hand was doing.

It’s likely that Megan was invited (and paid) to be there by one of the sponsors. As part of her agreeing to be there, she likely had a clause limiting or outright banning any interviews that weren’t done…
