The key thing I was looking for in a 15" laptop was that it didn’t have a number pad, because 90% of the available 15" models are hamstrung by having a number pad, meaning your either sitting at an angle the whole time you use it, or it’s half falling off your lap to have the keyboard centered, and then you have to…

Well, generally you would select tires with about the same circumference (within about 2-3%) when upsizing wheels on a car. You’re not usually going for increasing ground clearance and raising the center of gravity to try to reduce handling performance when you’re increasing wheel size on a car, unlike on an off-road…

And the Golf R’s are a lot nicer to actually sit in and drive. I’d go Golf R. I just wish the new ones were still available in a 2-door. I’m 6'1", so I hate that the armrest is too short and the b-pillar blocks my peripheral vision in the four door. The two door is a much better driver’s car, especially if you’re…

They would care because developers spend more time on games for the platform with the larger user base. They would care because when one console is the dominant platform, it makes it easier for that platform to negotiate for exclusives, since they’re already likely to reap the majority of sales for a title. I think…

What’s really messed up is there’s 47 other anonymous idiots out there who have starred his post so far.

I think your first generalization is flawed. “First, meat production is bad for the animal.” It ignores the fact that without meat production as a purpose, that individual animal would not exist at all. It’s not like people are going to keep raising beef cattle for fun. Who’s to say that cattle would not prefer a life…

Fully autonomous for under $5000? That’s less than the cost of a single DUI, not even counting the inconvenience of court hearings, jailtime, and points on your license.

I would have preferred a 1080p screen for even snappier performance and better battery life along with a lower price. I still feel 4k on a small laptop is just silly. It offers almost no visual benefit, but at a big cost in performance and price. Glad to see the (mostly) centered keyboard though.

Grumps Go Away! obviously. Now stop asking me these stupid questions and get off my lawn!

Correction: this first generation of smartwatches is worthless. Give it a year or two when they all have standalone GPS and LTE, and a decent battery life and I think they’ll start being on the path to usefulness. VR is in the same boat. No need to try to kill it in the cradle, it’s just going to take some time to…

“The problem is when con men are able to claim they’re experts...”

That was just a software issue. It’s happened with the current fossil-fuel based power grid in America too. http://www.livescience.com/38905-is-nation-better-prepared-to-prevent-blackouts.html

Well he’s already talked about getting rid of freedom of the press. He’s talked about using stop and frisk as a means of confiscating people’s guns, and he’s threatened to throw the leader of the opposition party into jail if he gets elected. He pretty much sounds like he’s running for election as a dictator of a…

From the article, many of the stories mentioned the perps were ~100-300 miles away. That’s why they thought maybe they could catch them. Of course, they’re just spoofing the location and are probably located in Nigeria or somewhere else the FTC/FCC/whatever, can’t do anything about the problem. We see people on here…

You said she was tech savvy, but then you said she had an iPhone. Make up your mind, which one is it!

So apparently it’s Google’s fault when this guy has a date that goes bad. That explains a lot about him.

Just in to say “Marvel, I too would like a Black Widow movie.”

It’s pretty hard to deny it when the Demogorgon is out there in the public eye running for President. And really, I mean, really, you have to admit, he is the best Demogorgon ever.

I don’t think you can expect any food to be “healthy” just on it’s own. A varied diet with lots of fruits and vegetables is healthy.

It’s not like doctors are telling people large amounts of sugar and meat are just fine for them, it’s just people don’t listen to their doctors. How many times have you heard people say something like “I’m not going to the doctor, he’s just going to tell me I need to quit smoking and lose weight.” Once they have a…
