I guess my way of thinking is “if 9 million people want to watch something, shouldn’t that be enough?” TV events that bring everybody together are super rare these days. Of the top 50 rated individual broadcasts last year, it was all sports except for the Super Bowl lead out episode of the Equalizer, 2 episodes of 60…

“Futurama’s coming back, but DiMaggio is not signed on yet” seems like a thing a party might let slip in hopes that the fan response gives them leverage in an ongoing negotiation about compensation.  That DiMaggio himself is staying quiet means that he’s probably still negotiating and doesn’t want to mess anything up,…

The Kirby lore is super dark and messed up even when everything is superficially brightly colored, cuddly, and saccharine.  I can’t imagine the horrors of this game.

Does the amount of air flow in the refrigerator make the difference, or if my garage maintains refrigerator temperatures (it’s 33 degrees in there right now) can I just leave the sheet pan on top of my car?

Listen, the supply chain is a mess all over apparently.

I still don’t understand why I should believe that bitcoin has any value at all. Like sure, if I had bitcoins I could find people who would give me money for them (perhaps even more than I paid), but you could say the same about pokemon cards, or particular comic books, or famous paintings. Which is not to say that…

FWIW, I don’t consider it chili unless it has beans in it.

I will accept a graphical downgrade on literally any game if I can play it on the toilet, in bed, while hiding in a closet because it’s comfy in there, or anywhere there is not a television.

My biggest problem with dip is that I never know what to dip in it. Some kind of cracker or crudités just seems uninspired.

I believe that it doesn’t require a lot of force (easy to build mechanical advantage into this sort of thing) and that sometimes all the skins will be left in the container.  But I’m not confident that we’re not going to get skins pushed through the holes sometimes.

The basic problem with NFTs is that I don’t want to live in a world where “digital assets” are a thing. The dream of the web is that “ownership” is fake, if I have a file then I can use it and if you have it then you can use it too. The whole drive to divvy this up into little cubes individually imprinted with serial…

The funny thing is that the problem with Steam (what if the service goes down) is not solved with NFTs. Since the server that hosts the jpeg or whatever your NFT points at can go down, or just take that image down at any point and having a receipt on the blockchain gives you no recourse.

Wait, is having a ‘crypto-wallet” a precondition for working at Ubisoft?  That’s some dystopian shit.

Boneless wings are just upscale nuggets.

As someone who simultaneously lives south, east, and west of the Mississippi these “West vs. East” comparisons are always amusing to me.  Still, my butter isn’t very stubby.

I confess I was incendiary a few weeks ago when the clue was “A greener energy source” and the answer was CLEANCOAL. That was a big faceplant. As an answer it’s fine, but the clue should have been something like “Fossil fuel marketing term.”

I remember back in the day where Diablo II trading forums got to the point where people were actually exchanging items for forum currency (that was bought with money).

Twitter needs a “report for being an asshat” option.

1) The value of all cryptos is as “speculative assets”- their worth at some point in the future is a function of “more people want them in the future than want them now”. So no one who isn’t paid by the cyrpto industry should do their recruiting for them.
