- Is it just me or does Apple’s choice of lock screen wallpaper (top lock screen picture in this article, the same one that Apple uses constantly in its advertising) subtly try to downplay the fact that there’s a notch?  (Does the notch really bother people that much?)

They’ll have plenty of Time to commiserate with the Telltale Games devs who got the axe unexpectedly.  The software industry can be a cruel mistress.

You’re right, it was an incorrect choice of words on my part I should have said “developers” generically, not just programmers. In any case they are not the only ones guilty of it, practically every major piece of software suffers either from GUI bloat, mistaking “stripping useful features” for “ease of use”, and…

Yea he should have just been unbanned quickly and “Whoops, mistook you for another dude, sorry.” And it wouldn’t have been nearly as messy. Demanding a personal apology from Nolan or I will threaten you with social media, well whatever, probably wouldn’t have been anywhere as big of a deal if Nolan just kept quiet…

Notifications is the primary reason why I hate, hate HATE Android 8.x and above. Android 7 allowed for granular notification control at the system level which every subsequent version got rid of. So now rather than getting a simple discrete icon in the corner and perhaps an audio cue that I may or may not disable,…

Anybody remember the story about a kid who thought he had a map of an ancient Meso-American civilization by spending months studying star charts and correlating them to known ruins and then predicting where more could be found? But real archaeologists found much of the work lacking and didn’t take it seriously?  I…

I don’t think he denied them. The whole “I’ll call you out publicly on social media” does seem like an expected response though, because well he did after NolanT responded back with further escalation.

Ahh yes the strange Japanese paradox of being able to distribute the most extreme kind of taboo porn and be totally ok... As long as the genitals are blurred or have black bars in at least specific parts.

Right. They’re still available on a global market. But since this was specifically about Trump and the steel tariffs and the unprofitability in the US market, I was talking about that and not every other country.  Honestly I kind of thought that was understood.

Like the final nail in the coffin, so to speak, pretty much guaranteeing their demise where otherwise they might have opted to spare them. Cars have always been less margin than trucks, SUVs, and crossovers historically.

At 02:31: “There’s not one single dent or ding...” Right above the right side of the door handle is clearly a “dent” where the sheet metal is not perfect.

So basically Trump is responsible for killing off the Fiesta, Focus, and Fusion. That’s what I’m getting right now. Cars have less margins than trucks and SUVs, Ford isn’t passing on the cost of steel to the consumer, so the only reasonable option is to eliminate lines that aren’t making them money, not that they were…

I can’t even imagine the fever pitched rage storm that would be created if the game ever allowed non-binary or gender ambiguous characters. The internet would break. I hope they let me know when that happens so I can stock up on popcorn.

Ok, I get that it’s their hot hatch (and a downgrade from their previous 2.0l 355 HP motor, but whatever) but does it really need those tiny little vestigial front canards?

I think those urethane covers were more about aerodynamics and covering up “ugly” bumpers than it was about absorbing the low speed collisions. That’s why low speed collisions usually result in high costs in panel replacement and paint.  

I’m certain we can deuce each other and motor on without a pissing contest.

I’ve always been partial to “AC blows cold” on old cars.

I don’t know if this would have helped you in this sort of scenario, but this is something I do before I get into my car and drive off.

There’s literally dozens of us “real” enthusiasts around. Dozens!
