PS2 was the first console I had owned; so many fond memories of Tekken and SSX!

That was way cooler than I was expecting; thanks for sharing that!

“Should you tip? yes. Everywhere.”

“That’s the point. It isn’t a lifeboat. It’s a boat designed for recovery.”

“Well on top of seasoning, salt water boils faster.”

I signed up months ago to receive notice when Google One was available, and I still haven’t received that email. I signed up again this morning, when I started reading that it was going to be made available today, and I still haven’t recieved an email. I downloaded the Google One app on my Google Pixel and that also…

I heard from a friend that Google will theoretically scan for copyrighted files. The file is still accessible to you in Google Drive, however, nobody else you’ve shared it with will see it. However, if that file is in an encrypted archive, Google cannot scan it and it will remain available to everyone you share it…

“Apparently SnapChat has this new thing called SnapMap or some such, and what it does is show your location.”

“If you don’t see the menu on the right side, you may need to tap on the menu to start directions so Google Maps loads your current location.”

Deliveries helps you track packages without needing to give unknown third-party companies access to your e-mail.  

“I may not even thank them for doing that specific task, but I do recognize that they do them when it comes time for their reviews, raises and quarterly employee awards. So, the task itself maybe thankless, but the outcome does get a reward.”

“I only buy for one person, me. I don’t see how that is possible?”

Not sure why my comment is not showing up anywhere, but, I tried this app last night and out of the first 6 books I scanned, it couldn’t recognize three, even when I input the ISBN manually. And no, these weren’t obscure books. These were books like Flatland, Little Women, and Robinson Crusoe.

“I actually had to imdb her. Turns out, I’ve never seen any of her movies! (Tho “Her” is in my Netflix queue). I’m mostly only seen her in tabloids and online.”

Just downloaded the app and started scanning. 6 books in, and I’ve had to manually enter in 3already. If it can’t recognize books like Robinson Crusoe, Little Women, and Flatland, then the app is pretty useless.

I have a question for those of you that have 1Gbps connections: What speeds do you usually see for download speeds when using something like speedtest.net?

This is just ridiculous.  Is there a link for us to donate money towards his university tuition?

I can’t remember the name of the documentary, but I remember seeing that method being done at the Tsukiji fish market and thinking, “that seems like a better way”.  I didn’t realize how much that would affect the taste, but in hindsight, that seems obvious.

If you’re pulling it out of the water and cooking it within an hour or two, sure, that’s the best. But otherwise, freezing it on the boat is the best way to go. Even waiting until the end of the day for a non-frozen fish means that fish isn’t as fresh as the fish that was frozen seconds after it was caught.

The idea that frozen fish isn’t as fresh as “fresh” fish is surprisingly common. A lot of times, frozen fish is more fresh than fish sold at some fish markets, much less the seafood section at the local grocery store.
