Hopefully something comes of it, I reported a user that was doing nothing but spamming and Kinja support wrote me back to suggest I clear my browser cache. I know tech support folks everywhere are overworked, but if they can’t read a short subject noting the problem is a spammer, then there’s something seriously wrong.

I understand his point, but it’s not entirely accurate. I own three of their games, Ridiculous Fishing, Luftrausers and Nuclear Throne, all of which I got from bundles at Humble Bundle. I guess you can argue that’s not technically a sale, but I paid far less for the bundles than their games retail for, plus I got…

I know a lot of people hated Enterprise, but I’m also pleased with the callbacks to the NX ships. Even though I think Discovery would be much, much better if they stopped trying to shoehorn in obvious homages and cameos from TOS.

The Trek Movie site’s comparison linked in the article covers that in detail, it’s pretty interesting to read and look at.

I’ve never heard of interest being paid up front, but some loans penalize you for paying them off early, requiring you to pay a penalty. Which is probably equal to the interest you were hoping to avoid.

The way scummy dealers pressure people doesn’t help, like that last story where they wouldn’t let him leave for 8 hours. Kind of unsurprising he gave in. (And given his language issues, it’s notable it took them so long, maybe he had prepared better than we think.)

Some good friends of mine had something similar happen to them. Local dealer would not let them buy the car they wanted with cash. So they found another dealer in another city to buy the model they wanted. And then stopped by the first dealer in their new car and told them they’d lost their business entirely.

Why do you feel the wait on fast food jobs is weird? In a world where most people subsist on food rations from the government, there’s not going to be many people who can actually purchase fast food. If there’s only, say, two fast food places in town, the demand for those jobs is going to be really damn high.

Heh, I get your point, but it’s amusing because Star Trek sort of was a 70s thing too! The short lived animated series ran from 1973 - 1974, and reruns of the original series were quite common. Star Trek aired new episodes in some form in the 1960s (The Original Series), 1970s (The Animated Series), 1980s (The Next…

You’re correct, Halliday even sort of says this after Parzival wins. Don’t forget that Halliday went to the trouble to code up a Big Red Button that would completely wipe the Oasis. One that only he, and at the end, Parzival know about. (The feed cut off, apparently not even Og knows about the button.) At some point…

If your only goal was to emulate Red Dead Revolver it might be, but their goal is to create a generic PS3 emulator that can emulate all PS3 games.

I’ve never bought anything from Prime Pantry, but for the past year and a half (up till yesterday) all it offered me was the Prime Pantry credits. Before that, I was getting the digital ones, and opted to use them fairly regularly. My shopping history on Amazon is almost entirely things that have nothing at all to do…

The bonus for selecting the slower shipping with Prime changes periodically. Until recently it was a $5 credit for Prime Pantry instead of the $1 digital credit. You should not sign up for Prime counting on the digital credits on purchases.

You might want to try other doctors on the fertility, not all doctors are like that. Some doctors do care, and do listen, and will talk to you about risks and consider your future life, not just survival. For example, I’m at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes in the future, and also have recurrent kidney stones.…

They haven’t thought it through at all, if pressed they probably couldn’t tell you who they think covers it. I understand people not knowing everything, but you get people like that who seem to willfully go through life not learning anything. It’s damn near impossible to not hear about Medicare regularly in the news,…

In the US, Medicare and Medicaid aren’t for-profit. There’s probably not any you can buy on the open market that isn’t though, nor any you can get through employers.

As long as it works for him, have at it. Hard to argue with the results, seeing as he’s won so many rewards for his novels!

Cinemark’s subscription plan seems insane to me, but that’s probably because the only Cinemark near me is a Tinsletown. If you wait to go on Tuesdays there, tickets for 2D showings are $5 for everyone all day. Since I’m patient enough to do that, I’d be paying almost double per month for one movie using their plan…

You might be able to leave it toggled on, and use Greenify to auto-hibernate MoviePass when it’s not being actively used. As far as I know, Greenify can do this without root nowadays.

I hated the Prophet stuff back then too, but I watched through all of DS9 last year and Sisko’s journey of accepting that he is the Prophet and acting as such is really good. It’s more cerebral and a slow-burn than even much of the other storylines in DS9, but it’s extremely well done character development. Sisko goes…
