G/O Media is a company created when Great Hill bought both Gizmodo (and related sites) and The Onion. Thus, Gizmodo/Onion Media.

I hate to be the bearer of more bad news, but G/O sold Gizmodo a few weeks ago.

You can’t account for both the cost to improve the grid (“increasing power grid supply to be able to support completely replacing all current vehicles on the road with EVs”, as you say) and the costs of not improving the grid (“environmental/econonic/social impact of rolling blackouts due to insufficient power to…

There was at least one other Caves Of Steel adaptation, a 1980s VHS/Boardgame mystery ... thing. It was called “Robots” and I remember liking it as a kid, but I’m not sure it holds up.

I thought Sam Wilson was a Pararescue Jumper, not a pilot.

Do you think it’s a secret? Why is the responsibility on the Youtuber, and not the drivers? Or the police who respond to the crashes? Or the tow truck drivers? Or the public works employees who replace the signs?

Apparently, the glass was difficult to break. First responders were on site within 20 minutes and tried to gain entry to the (now submerged) vehicle, and could not do so. They used, according to news reports, a Halligan bar (designed for breaching cars and doors) and other entry tools, but could not get into the car,…

How is that any different from buying a Windows PC and therefore implicitly saying you want an account with them?

You gotta admit, the business plan of “Buy video game developer, prevent them from making any more games” is a novel one.

It was commonly reported that the renegotiation of the Spider-Man rights to get the Tom Holland Spider-Man into the MCU removed the timing restriction that Sony was previously under, and they retain the rights without needing a film in production every x years.

But they weren’t shooting at this theoretical accomplice. They were shooting at the guy in the back of the car. So, in this rather fanciful scenario, the officer gets +1 point for correctly identifying the initial gunfire, and -1 point for engaging the obviously wrong target. He remains at -1000 points.

Howard The Duck is often on lists of the worst films of all time, of any type.  I don’t think it’s worse than Catwoman, but I didn’t see it mentioned here and it deserves to be in the conversation, at least.

This has been confusing me ever since the show appeared. Is “Master chief never ever removes his helmet” even an in-universe thing in the game universe?

This is odd.

It’s just funny, because most Russian tank designs can’t do it.

The “added context” to the embedded Tweet says that this offer applies to the cost of the Egg NFTs, but not the associated zoo tokens.  If someone bought both, and accepted this refund, they presumably couldn’t sue for the lost value of the other.

Did you know that if you squint, The One has the same plot synopsis as Everything Everywhere All At Once?

If you follow the link chain on Tesla’s website, it takes you from the Cybertruck page to the charging page to the adapter. The adapter is listed as “compatible with most Tesla vehicles, though some may require additional hardware.” Certain Model 3 and Ys are mentioned as requiring this retrofit, and the Cybertruck…

From other coverage of this subject, your first payment is withheld 30 days or more, then it falls in to a more regular schedule.  But ultimately, a significant chunk of people won’t refund, even if they are all allowed, unless the process is made complete and automatic.

Didn’t we already do the “There’s a second parallel Doctor (played by David Tennant) who gets to live happily ever after with the companion” storyline, with the Doctor-clone from The Stolen Earth/Journey’s End?
