I missed it then. The video embedded in the article didn’t show it being used and the page on the Wilson site linked in the article had the same embedded video with no mention of it being used. The only thing that looked even slightly like it might have been used was the “debut during the 2023 NBA All-Star Game…

The NBA currently doesn’t have any plans to switch to Wilson’s 3D-printed airless basketball design, but that doesn’t mean it’s a failure.

Why not all of them?

‘13 ForTwo: Sequential trans shift is soul-crushingly slow.

Growing up in the 70s and 80s in MO we didn’t go out on the town much. Got McD’s maybe twice a year when traveling and got to go to the movies once every few years. When we went to the movies we got to go to Long John Silvers. It was very nice at the time, even for fast food. It seems like no one takes pride in their…

lol, it’s a fair question

I will admit to having mis-read the instructions. I saw the “leave it in” for a full load instructions and it didn’t register the “for 15" bit in the middle of the sentence meant to pull it out fifteen minutes into the cycle. Seemed weird to me to assume a cycle was 15 minutes long, but the whole article seemed weird…

When we are thinking about getting pizza at our house we then have to think about whether we’re in the mood for LC, Dominos, Pizza Hut, local, yada, yada, yada. But when someone says

When I built my house I made the bathroom and utility/laundry room share a wall and put a hatch in the bathroom wall with a short little chute that dropped clothes into a basket right beside the washer. There are few things I have done in our 23 years of marriage that made my wife as happy as this.

Very impressive!

Add dry towel - No. A pound of water goes into the dryer, a pound has to come out the exhaust pipe. How it is distributed inside the drum is of no consequence.

Add tennis balls - Maybe, but seems pointless. In theory they can act as tumble media to loosen up the clothes compacted by the washer spin cycle and improve…

The ‘never charged when you need it’ was a problem with the bigger jump packs that were the size of an overnight duffel and I was concerned it would also be true of these little power bricks, but turned out to be a non-issue. Because of current lithium battery tech they hold a usable charge for a ridiculously long…

Ah, that makes more sense. See? I’m not a gambler. The language was throwing me. That

I’m not a gambler, so can someone explain to me why I would spend $105 to win $100? Everything I’ve read say negative odds mean you’re more likely to win. OK, I get that from a mathematical POV, but so what? I won and got my $100 given back to me and had to pay out $5 for the privilege. What good do I get from that?…

I had initially thought if there was a propulsion use case it would be an ion thruster but the guy in the video on the website specifically mentioned “nuclear thermal propulsion”.

That thing looks like some monstrosity someone stitched together to sell to a circus sideshow. Leopard body, Maine Coon head, cougar ears.

All the supers/hypers.

Our standard whenever I make my 3-day ramen is mayu.

Driving home from school with Dad in the early-80's in the old Bonneville. Nothing really going on then suddenly a dark streak flashed by the driver’s side window, kinda up and backwards. Before anyone could get out a “what the heck was that” CHUNKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK the front left suspension hits the asphalt…
