I tried TKL for the better mouse ergonomics and I just can’t live without my number pad. I’m sad they used that lovely 1800-style arrow key layout... and didn’t pair it with a condensed number pad (basically I’m waiting for the inevitable GMMK96% which I will preorder).

When literally nothing he’s said about the books timing besides “they’re not done” has ever turned out to be accurate, it’s foolish to rely on his explanations for the reasons and expect that to be accurate. How many self-announced and self-imposed deadlines has he missed? Half a dozen? The guy, at the very least, has…

Nobody underestimated that more than Martin himself. It’s almost like he didn’t think the show was going to be a hit; suddenly he’s a superstar and yeah, I’m sure that was intoxicating and distracting. 

Dude’s never going to admit the reason but a commenter above makes the point: the show made him extremely rich and famous basically overnight. And suddenly becoming a big celebrity in your 60s (I think? Might have been late 50s) is going to be very distracting. He spent so much time on the con circuit and doing…

I mean you admit that you haven’t read the books.

For onlookers, this might seem like another ploy for attention

I can’t speak to the Texas version, but I’m on the National Grid version of that exact same program and it’s frankly child’s play to override. It gives you a pop up notification on your phone when it’s going to kick in.... and then all you have to do is manually override the temperature back to your normal temp and…

I am shocked—SHOCKED—to learn that there’s a substantial overlap between bitcoin fanatics and people who refuse to be vaccinated 

Thanks for this moment of sanity, I almost considered abandoning my Eneloops for a second there. But I definitely don’t need $60 less and another thing just to avoid having to turn my controller back on... 

You’re not wrong that a Weber Kettle will go the distance without much maintenance, but you might be surprised how damn good that thing will look again if you do give it a thorough deep cleaning and scraping. That porcelain coating inside and out comes realllllll clean if you take the time. You can shine those…

If you own a slow n sear already the snake method offers little to no advantage. The only substantial upside is that by its nature, the snake rotates the direction the heat is coming from so you don’t have to rotate your grate as much, but since you should be rotating your lid to keep a cross-draw going as the snake…

But a pork butt costs like no more than $15 in most parts of the country, is almost impossible to ruin (how do you even do it? with that much fat it’s incredibly forgiving to temperature swings), and gives you pounds and pounds of delicious pulled pork which is so infinitely superior to cooked cabbage I can’t even.

You would prefer the government hire lawyers for top legal positions who.... aren’t familiar with the areas in which they’d be working?

That’s a very good suggestion that I hadn’t heard before, but you’re absolutely right. 

It would totally be weird if, despite the similarity of the words, the Supreme Court of the United States had issued a series of opinions over the course of a decade outlining when “possible” wasn’t good enough anymore and that “plausible” was the new baseline standard.

Alas, I am not yet in Dolby Vision land, and I would think that non-Dolby Vision content would still benefit? The difference on my old SDR tv has been impressive. 

In other words, Facebook has provided ample examples to back up the old adage, “If something seems too good to be true, it probably is.” Even in this specific case, there are enough requirements and asterisks to suggest that Facebook isn’t actually offering most creators all that much. This, then, appears to be a…

Honestly, the auto-calibration feature on the new AppleTV is impressive enough that I don’t regret a penny of that purchase. 

I don’t see how they possibly think a $1 a month price reduction is going to seriously attract customers. Who the hell who wasn’t in at $6 is going to be in at $5 (but less content)?
