Really, are anyone but phone reviewers really cross-shopping a Pixel with an iPhone anyway. Generally anyone trapped in Apple’s walled garden isn’t looking to change, certainly not based on features or price. And anyone who’s decided they want to switch to Apple is doing so for other reasons, like because all their…

28mpg vs 23mpg is almost 22% better. That’s actually pretty significant!

Is there really more glare in the forest? What’s with all these anti-glare hood stripes on the “adventure” models. Rav4 does it too, and they look horrible. It’s an ugly design choice that won’t age well. Plus the implication that you don’t get glare on the freeway just seems so poorly thought out.

Still waiting for it for mine. The volume bug started about two weeks in. Volume is fine for calls, but where I listened to music at about 75% before, now it’s not quite loud enough for music at 100%, and way to soft for podcasts, you can’t hear most of what’s being said. Hopefully they fix the connection issues as…

I like Lan’s pajamas. They look really comfy.

I was wondering what that was supposed to be. I think you nailed it. Tel’aran’rhiod.

I think he’s reading a little too much into the trailer. They can be presented as virtuous at first, as those who don’t know them well, assume they are, and then learn their true nature as the series unfolds. Seems like a common storytelling trope actually, so I wouldn’t automatically assume they’ve completely changed…

They start out amazing. Definitely not cheap knock-offs. It’s just they get bogged down in books 6-10 or so. Too much time spent describing every little detail, which is fine in an initial world-building phase, but felt like a whole book would go by, and the plot hadn’t even moved forward. Like 4 characters in 3…

The fire is occurring in a National Forest, not a State Forest. Are you saying that four years of mismanagement under Trump led to these wildfires?

If you have a short commute, you won’t be saving that much on gas anyway. Your annual gas expenditure would probably be only $600/year, so you can’t “save” more than that. That wouldn’t even begin to offset the depreciation. The math doesn’t work out for a short commute. You’re better off keeping the car you have,…

He would have to have collision. Comprehensive is for theft, vandalism, hail damage, etc., and is typically only about $50/year extra. Collision covers damage to the car that is your fault, costs a lot and there’s also typically a deductible. If he had a car loan, collision coverage would be required.

Just get a PS5 at this point. You can play all those PS4 exclusives on it, plus whatever cool PS5 exclusives come out over the next six or seven years.

Yes, they’re already filming S2.

Or she’s simply a true believer, and actually believes that God is watching over her and she should have faith and give herself over to him. Religion is its own form of mental illness.

He wasn’t even up there long enough to fuck a mother. Maybe that should be the definition of motherfucking space, be up there long enough to fuck a mother.

Wasn’t just the butt, they had some gratuitous crotch shots that I don’t think you’d see with a male actor where they have also done some butt shots.

Not 12, so no...

I would prefer for it not to have the numbers etched into the bezel, since it looks dumb with anything except a “classic” watchface. They just don’t make sense with any modern bold watchface, but that’s a relatively minor nitpick. It looks pretty good.

This seems much less scummy than making you pay for a bundle that includes Destruction All-Stars, a game that was free on release, and is already dead since it sort of sucked. It’s only a $20 membership and includes a $10 gift certificate, so $10 really.

Yup, when the smoke is still tendril-like, instead of a homogenous cloud, that means it wasn’t inhaled. Andy on the other hand blew out a big puffy cloud. He clearly inhaled.
