One more thing. Wouldn’t putting the device in rice suspend it, giving all sides equal opportunity to dry? Plus, any water that drains out of the device will continue to flow to bottom of the container and away from the device. I think that’s better than nothing.

I think that’s a key point. I’ve worked at places where the guards are very strict about where the id badges are worn. They literally have to see it on the company provided lanyard around my neck —the idea is to have a uniform ID location on the body so they can spot it at a glance— or they will stop me and not let…

Occam’s razor. Holt probably thought the ball ended up over the fence. But I always thought on fly balls to the corner the center fielder is supposed to backup the play in case the ball gets away...

Oh come on! Not knowing one subsection of a rule isn’t a lot! But I admit I should’ve figured it out simply from the term “force” in force out.

I think I may have figured out the kobayashi maru to your no-win situation.

I was afraid people would get hung up on the “set position” part.

Funny how they refer to the balk definition to argue against the balk but then ignore the actual part that’s relevant. Paragraph four of the balk definition from MLB.com

Literally two paragraphs below your exerpt:

I was on the QA team for The Sims 2. On the one hand, there’s some fond memories because it was the last game I had a role in. On the other, the burnout was so bad that I haven’t played any Sims game since.

“You were not shooting lasers out of your eyes to get here”

This is basically the same view Trump has on global trade and economics: a closed end system. In order for the one group to thrive, others have to suffer. The direct corollary is that if others are doing well, it means it is hurting us.

It seems silly to create another phrase to define an already widely-used term. Is “passive sales machine” any better than “passive income”? But the bigger issue is that there is an already official definition from the IRS, one we’re legally obligated to follow when filing.

It still gives me pause to think that Taika Waititi was in Green Lantern.

What makes this an easter egg and not just a detail? I’ve always thought of easter eggs as something out of place juxtaposed into the game.

Obama made more as an author than he ever did as President during his presidency, but I’m pretty sure we don’t think of him as an author who moonlighted as the President. I also suspect it’s the same case with Trump —as a businessman instead of author— not that we have the tax record to confirm.

Umpires and referees should probably be the last people to set a precedent of arbitrarily taking over a job because the current job holder isn’t doing a good enough job.

Ugh. Those heatsink fins.... Nice and sharp and dozens of them arranged in parallel. You may not notice when you get just one cut but try getting three or more parallel cuts. I’ve come out of builds looking like I was attacked by a cat.

You’re not wrong. Many of them share similar themes and elements. But man, does he put a lot of effort into the scenery. My desktop backgrounds are stills from his movies on rotation, and I have the Japanese edition of his scenery artbook.

Ah yes, the high school entrance examination. The thing that’s always hanging over students from first grade on, because if I don’t do well on it I won’t get into a good high school, and without that, I won’t get into a university at all.
