One thousand goddamned American dollars for a STAND for a FIVE THOUSAND DOLLAR monitor? They've lost their fucking minds, and so have the assholes who will pay them for it. 

Please have your buddy spring for the extra few dollars to send them FedEx or UPS. It's still illegal to send weed through the mail, and even though the likelihood of getting caught is small, it isn't non-existent. 

I genuinely can not conceive of Punk going back to WWE. If there’s any human being on this planet I’d bet on being petty enough to turn down whatever ungodly sum of money WWE would want to offer, it’s CM Punk. I’d love to see CM Punk in a ring again, or even on commentary, hell, anything, really, as long as it’s not…

In the context of the text messages (linked in the post), it’s completely clear Punk was speaking in the legal text. It’s only a willful mis-interpretation of the texts to think he meant financially.

That’s fair. It doesn’t help that a lot of YA feels the need to make the real conflict a convoluted love story, often with very little regard for what the conflict of the book is supposed to be. As an adult, there’s often a hearty disconnect between how much I give a shit about whether protagonist A ends up with love…

We’re as useless in rugby as we are the MNT is in soccer, if not more so.

“one has to ask at what point we’re meant to accept the text of the film as it is”

GE makes a decent smart light bulb (C by GE) that’ll run you $25 for 2. No hub required, and it works with Google Home and Alexa out of the box. 

How much of that was being superstar-adjacent, though? If LeBron played in fucking Anchorage, his talented teammates are going to automatically be in the top tier of recognized players just because so much attention is paid to LeBron.

To be fair to the genre, of the three works you cited, it’s hard to argue that more than 1.5 of them are well written. I read (and kind of liked) The Hunger Games, but it’s not terribly well written. I love Harry Potter (Rowling’s post-publication efforts to sully that love be damned), but it’s only well written when c…

Y.A. is fine. Shitty authors are a blight. 

I'm with you in spirit, but jobs like cashier are incredibly hard-hit by hours reductions. Asshole manager at your Quick-N-Shop is going to see the checkout lines humming and decide that he can get by with fewer cashiers on fewer hours. The extra time sucks, but it's a small price to pay compared to the potential cost…

Seems like she should be second. Cap 1 took place I was the early 40s, Captain Marvel was in the 90s, then either Incredible Hulk (which is on the list, even though there's no real reason for it to be), or Iron Man. 

I don’t want to take away from the Deadcast of old, but since adding Roth, and especially those episodes with Greenwell in the third chair, it really has become a very enjoyable listening experience. 

re: velcro wallet. Nobody over the age of 11 or under the age of about 73 should be using velcro anything. 

$10 for 1TB of cloud storage in 2019 is unacceptable. Full stop. Google gives you 2TB for the same $10, and Microsoft throws in the entire Office suite with their 1TB for $6.99.

It's built in to Android Messages, but unless it's changed, requires you to scan a QR code on your phone to use it. 

Other than buying a MT beater, I don't even know how one would go about learning to drive stick.

Netflix could help by not laying on its back with its belly quite so exposed. They've lost a huge amount of the Network TV that made the service worth keeping while raising their prices twice in the past year IIRC. They replace those shows with shitty original series that seemingly nobody cares about, while cancelling…

Most, if not all, 'streaming only' shows are released on physical media. Most people won't consume it that way, but they exist.
