Everybody talks about how Starfleet isn’t a military organization, but this show is the first time we really saw Starfleet portrayed as if it was.

I am in the awkward spot of having to root for the Patriots today.

Now there are 8k of them!

So does anyone know a good way to give the actual developers of these games (the ones Stardock just publishes rather than developing in house) money after I slide the “Stardock” share of the Humble slider all the way to 0%? Because I love some of these games, but I refuse to give Brad Wardell money.

Someone on Reddit pointed out yesterday that Morhaime’s replacement only has the title of President of Blizzard, and not CEO.  Is that correct, and if so, is it as significant as they seem to think?

And after a month of cleaning out a garlic press, you go back to cutting it by hand.

Is it possible to know why a car has a salvage title? When I was searching earlier this year, I saw a whole batch of cars at an amazing price, but when I looked at the listing I saw that they were salvage titles. I called the dealership to ask why—if they were written off because of hail damage and repaired, who the…

Did you see this absolutely horrifying piece from last month: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/26/nyregion/gay-trump-supporters.html

The US system dates back to the days when it would take weeks for state wide results to be even approximated, and travel across the country to take office would be a huge undertaking.

But I think that BlizzCon was absolutely the wrong place to announce Diablo Immortal.

I mean, isn’t there a concern that kids who are into gaming get attracted to online personalities like Pewdiepie who then utilize Nazi imagery and say racial slurs and then go “it’s just a joke, bro!” And then some of those make heel turns and actually do start promoting white nationalist ideas?

Assuming the patients at the senior center aren’t allowed to head out whenever they want, if the center has just said “no, this organization who got permission to do a presentation inside the facility cannot take you out of the facility on the spur of the moment” I probably would have said they weren’t being unreasonab…

I want to ask all these politicians whining about “censorship” in social media if maybe there should be some way of making sure both sides get some time. Some set of policies or doctrine to ensure fairness, and then watch their handlers have strokes trying to get their attention.

This is far from a new issue.  The Warcraft community moved from Wowwiki to Wowpedia years ago for the same advertising complaints.

It means that it’s easier to fire a cop for fighting other cops than it is to fire them for shooting someone even when off duty. Which is fucked up, but better than her still being on the force.

Anything north of Massachusetts and east of New York all the way to the Canada border is kind of Boston anyway.

I’m not entirely comfortable with a blanket “loser pays”, because there are plenty of legitimate cases that have arguments on both sides, plus it means any suit against a giant corporation with a bank of lawyers on retainer can only be sued by someone with similar resources. But if there’s a way to avoid abusing it, I…

I disagree with the advice of buying cheap cables entirely. Unless you lose them regularly, the cheap ones do wear out faster.

Anyone know how to find a good guild that doesn’t involve jumping around between 17 different ones until you get tired and quit looking?  My old guild is dead, I hate playing solo, and I have a very low tolerance for stupid people, copypasta, and Trump supporters.
