Well, you can always pickup an old gameboy on the cheap, but I suppose the Switch is now BOTH the “home console” AND “pocket portable”, for definitions of “pocket” that only include cargo pants. I wish they made it more in a square dimension instead of rectangle-- you know, top half screen, bottom half controls. Maybe…

Why such a small screen? 17" may have been about the size used in classic cocktail machines, but that same rig could easily have supported something like 23"

The Amazon card, which when used on Amazon, gives 5% cash back. (some older cards gave 3%, mine used to, but I clicked some link in the payment options area and converted it to 5%.) 1% on all other purchases, which, meh, okay.

It’s not just a coffee’s price per month. And there’s so many. NYT, WaPo and Medium are the tip of the iceberg. I’d happily pay a single netflix-ish type price for an aggregate subscription, but with so many sites (like Gizmodo & family) making their own money on the back of linking to paid content with some minimal…

A little pricey clocking in at between $10.50/lb to $16.5/lb (choosing beef options skews it towards the higher end) Good quality meat at that price or cheaper isn’t hard to find at my local grocery stores, some of which have dedicated butchers. Not much in the way of a convenience factor either since you still need…

Well that’s a few dozen charges of kidnapping to lay at the airline’s feet :) How many bet they try to paper over the issue by giving away some airline bucks (TM) that can only be used on highly limited flights outside of any peak times or interesting destinations?

I’m gonna necro comments on this because someone has to say it: this feature sucks. It consistently tells me I’m “6 stops away” And then I watch the tracking show the truck ramble all around town making stops all over the place, for hours and hours.

It’s an interesting topic, one I think is really about expectations. The tech world, at least the big, enterprise level side of the tech world, absolutely has to handle expectations in a very deliberate fashion. Very large organizations have to know what’s going on, plan resources, etc. So you get product roadmaps…

I follow 4 different gaming sites in RSS, at the very least scanning all headlines. This is the first I've heard of the sequel attempt. Given that, my guess is it failed through lack of effective promotion.

I could never get past what felt to me like really cheesy Western cliche dialoque. Totally ruined my ability to enjoy the show. I of course recognize that doesn't mean the show was "bad", just not for me.

Those kids are damn lucky they're not in Japan. This is the exact type of shit the Japanese pay Italian brothers to violently stomp on.

Bastard! If you'd placed the first comma just a little further to the left, we could have had a $10 haswell laptop. Wait to screw up what could have been a great deal.

Treat it like a new parent— don't offer up that the baby is ugly. "Oh, a baby!" is a nice general thing to say. For a game, perhaps something like "Wow, a game! Pixels too!"

You were (slightly) scammed— I almost missed it myself. At the bottom there is a small option/link to not have to download something. Very sneaky though.

No, radishes scream. That's why you can't get them live in the store and, incidentally, why they're red when you see them in stores— they've been parboiled before hand, turning them red, sort of like what happens with shellfish.

Well, I think we're just going to have to reasonably disagree on some of the aspects of this issue. It's okay though— Just because it's the internet doesn't mean we have to flame each other! Although, in case you insist on it as a proper ending, how about self-immolation: I'm an awful person, I probably have no…

My original point was simply meant to be that if your only criteria for classifying fakes was "I can't define it but I know it when I see it" then you are going to classify lots of people that others, with different views of what is & is not a fake, would be just fine with. E.g., someone plays videogames an average of…

Yep, overturned: It stopped individuals from using their own "I know it when I see it" gut decisions and instead gave three criteria that had to be met (you only cite the one that coincided to your view on this). The third of these criteria, that something lacks any "serious literary, artistic, political or scientific…

It is ridiculed because it shows that these types of value-laden judgments are very personal and subjective, with lines drawn arbitrarily and in different places for different people. One person's NYPD Blue episode (TV show from the 90's that showed a bare female butt) is just prime time TV while to another it's…

And that is a Supreme Court definition that is routinely ridiculed as the essence of gut & emotion based reasoning rather than sound, rational & legal reasoning on a subject. Even granting your reasoning on the "poser" aspect, in the "Geek" culture it seems as though only women are subjected to this accusation to the…
