I also found the Halo Band’s ability to listen to your conversations and analyze the tone of your voice to be basically useless. Read more

Salesman: Based on your requirements, it sounds like you might like an Opel Insiginia. Read more

Do you think we’ve gone too far or do you feel we’ve gone too far. There’s a difference. Read more

I think we’ve gone too far. Cars were safe enough ten years ago. Now they are safer but also more expensive and heavier. Vehicle weight is fine for people in the vehicle but worse, safety-wise, for anything the vehicle hits. Noboday wants a vehicle related fatality, but there has to be a reasonable threshold.

You hit all the major points. On paper, this ticks a lot of boxes. There’s enough off-the-shelf parts to say this is technically a motorcycle. But the design has many unnecssary elements and not enough function. I bet a production version of this concept would be great for the market.

Clearly sarcasm doesn’t work well in Kinja space. That one is on me. Read more

I’m rocking a 6th gen NUC as my non-gaming rig. It serves its role well. I don’t know why anyone would want more than that for a general purpose home PC. I’m always eager to hear about the next gen but these things are getting too fancy and I can’t stomach the price jump.

Captain America: Steve’s Stones would be worth a few episodes. We know he left to put back the stones and was supposed to return to “the present”. Something changed his mind. Might be nice to know what he was up to. Plus, he would have gone back knowing Hydra had infiltrated SHIELD which would lead to a time travel… Read more

Your math checks out. But in 180 days, we won’t need the vaccine because all of us will have been infected. Instead, we will need a new vaccine for the vaccine resistant variants that pop up.

Infection rate and lethality are two different but related things. The key is to maximize infectiousness but minimize lethality before Madagascar closes its sea port and before a vaccine is developed.

One if by land, two if by sea, three if they cancel your Airbnb. What if Airbnb just cancelled the revolution because all of these hard-core patriots couldn’t find a place to sleep (comfortably)?

Literally the other only thing that matters is that we get everyone vaccinated before a more dangerous variant develops and spreads. Read more

The practice of doing red team/blue team review isn’t a bad practice - arguably a good practice Read more

That’s what she said

Should probably send your snake vs pole metaphor to your BF.

The real winners - OPEC and global warming. (Don’t ask me what my car’s gas mileage is.)

Takes a lot of work to get it up but totally worth it on that first blow.

I appreciate your balanced delivery. Much better than the last Shilling take: The Boeing 737 Max Is Cleared To Fly Again But That Isn’t Terribly Reassuring. Nice to have a fresh voice around here.

I’m almost fine with this. So some graphic designer has never driven a manual. So the web designer that approved this set of graphics has never driven a manual or didn’t actually check the work or both. No big deal. Read more
