Like the article mentions other people do, my sister called it The Cheese Grater the other day when we were headed to Chinatown. I’ll have to steal your Bluetooth Speaker comment and pass it off as my own next time we’re getting hammered on really shitty margaritas at 1am.

Interesting, but not completely unexpected, that they decided to go with someone with a financial background instead of a programming or development background. I sincerely hope that this is the right choice.

I think the “anyone can do it” thing stops at food. Yeah, I could buy a few buckets of Behr at Home Depot and recreate a Pollock but your average joe can’t cook gourmet food, let alone come up with our own original recipes.

The Grim Sleeper was black, targeted black women exclusively, and just apprehended in 2010. Other than being in the local news a lot here in LA, nobody really talked about him much even though he baffled police for years. Mostly, they just talked about how he was caught.

I’ve largely been playing around 12-2AM PST which is prime time for Japanese players and I feel it has made me an incredible Splatoon player. I react quicker, I can read people’s actions before they do it, and I’m often top in ranked kills. It’s gotten to the point that I panic a little when I see an American player…

These are great but I’m really excited to see what low-end models they’re coming up with. At $79, the Lumia 640 is dangerously close to impulse buy on the Microsoft Store.

Yep, you’re right about CC processors. Brevity made me dumb and write misinformation.

Most (non-stupid) companies don’t ever store your CC info or share them with banks directly. They communicate with credit card companies (Visa, Amex, MC) and they’re are the ones that handle banks. Storing and sharing CC info makes you more vulnerable in the event of a hack (either Spotify or whoever they share it…

The game doesn’t let you upload it unless you yourself manage to beat it. I’m at least glad Nintendo thought that far ahead.

I absolutely miss my Nokia 520. I was forced to make the switch because I needed to get into google’s ecosystem for work but every day that my Android takes out apps from the SD card and onto the phone after an update, I feel like flinging it out of a 15 story window.

Exactly. Though I’m also afraid Buffalo Bill would suffer the same fate as The Tooth Fairy did in this season. They had a whole two seasons of killers like the Bee Lady, Mushroom Guy, Totem Pole Dude, and Skin Pallet Man, all three of which are far more scarier, creepier than either Tooth Fairy or Buffalo Bill. :/

He could be either northern Italian or Swiss or grew up in either area. A few Italian dialects borrow from Germanic languages.

I’m not sure about reminders but I know Calendar updates sync to your Google Calendar if you set up your google account as your Microsoft account.

Did a little snooping around and the short answer is you can (link), long answer is you probably shouldn’t. When Microsoft introduces universal apps, the edited border style won’t work with them. So you’ll end up with a lot of inconsistent border styles. I didn’t realize how much it bothered me until you brought it…

I play extremely aggressively and I guess I didn’t realize this until I was camping an entire team at their spawn point one time until they finally managed to kill me, and all four of them started “squidbagging” me at the same time. After the initial rage of dying passed, I sort of realized, “Wow, I’m kind of an…

Yeah but—chucks look fucking awesome and they go with everything.

I usually wear the white or beige ones. It’s a lot harder to hide grime and dirt on those.

The Citadel Outlets in Commerce. It’s just off the 5. The Converse outlet is all the way in the back. The high tops are usually $45-$50. If you go to their sale shelf, you’ll find a few weird colors or limited editions for a lot less. During sales, I’ve seen high-tops go for $35.

Yeah, teenage me would keep chucks for years. I think I graduated with the same pair of chucks I entered highschool with.

At $75, it goes from being a disposable every day shoe to a weekend one. I get all of my chucks for about $45 at an outlet here in LA so I’m okay with burning through them in five months or so. I feel like I’d have to take care of a $75 pair of shoes—sort of like the leather ones.
