Someone should tell him that if he really wanted to get back at at&t for... existing... I guess? He should call up his buddy Ajit and make him classify the internet as a utility.

It’s not that I can’t tell that there is a difference, it’s that it just doesn’t seem like some sort monumental upgrade. With older generation of consoles, moving up to the newer gen was a massive upgrade, with this gen, games obviously look great, but to me they look like prettier ps3 games. And I know this will…

I think the problem is with the very incremental increases which Nvidia and AMD pull off to make the most out of their research so we get used to slightly better and better graphics. If you actually fire up a game which was release 4~5 years ago the differences are much more obvious.

I always feel like I’m missing out on something when things like these come around. Whether it was 4k, HDR, or this, I just think, “oh neat, it looks nicer than it did before.” I don’t really recall seeing anything that blew my mind since we went from ps1 to 2 or ps2 to 3. Am I just jaded, or have we hit the point of…

Because Cameron finally got the rights back and he feels like he can make a better Terminator movies than the others that have come out since T2 (his last involvement I believe).

I get that every NYC article is a opportunity to whine about New Yorkers, and I mean, I gotta work, and the commute is long (though mostly I read), but what in the hell are you looking for that needs $2M let alone north of it??

Because living in a brick McMansion 5-10 miles from anything of interest and the most culturally significant thing in the area being the first McDonalds in the metro suburban area sounds like actual hell to me.

I don’t know why so many commenters are getting in a snit about this. These people can use whatever they please and they don’t have to justify it to anyone.

No, it is not. It is an explanation. Characterizing it as an excuse is purely a matter of opinion. You don't approve of their reasons, so they are "excuses" to you.

It isn’t ridiculous to them and they’re the ones doing it. When creative people find what works for them, they stick with it.

Actually, their chalkboard vs markerboard argument rang true to me. I walked into a high end conference room in our corporate office, and there was a large container of dry erase markers. Exactly ZERO of them wrote out of 18. ZERO. We literally could not find a dry erase marker that would write. People leave them…

Grade 3, class 2 It’s definately not 3rd grade （小３） in elementery school, so its either 9th grade （中３）, or senior high school（高３） class 2. I would assume there is a upcoming competition at school, and Elsa is telling class 2 to just be themselves and let it go.

Two eco point in chalk’s favor:

I believe they tend correct or make changes by erasing with their fingers, chalk can be easily washed away with water but not marker ink.
And with that it make tiny corrections easier to perform.

Since when is explaining why a certain thing is superior to another an “excuse”?

Chalk has a tactile aspect which differs from markers, specifically friction. If one has spent the majority of their life using chalk, using markers will feel physically foreign. Can someone retrain themselves? Sure. Most can. I’m sure the preference, though, is to not have to retrain or not deal with the difference…

Their argument for not wanting to use a whiteboard is very practical. We have several at work and the pens just randomly run out which is annoying. Ever had someone swap their nearly dead whiteboard marker for your nearly new one? I’ve actually had to run out of a training course (I was a forklift trainer until…

White on black gives better contrast. Your brain can spend more time thinking and less time decoding the writing.

It must only be used for maths

The “Why” makes a lot of sense to me. I try to use a computer as much as possible for note-taking, but there’s something much more... useful.. about writing notes down on the fly on a big yellow notepad. Doing mechanical design for a job, it’s also a lot easier (on paper) to jot out ideas and designs than to try and…
