Star Wars - Storm Trooper “bonks” their head.

Me too, I have wanted a shiny new laptop for a few years but every time I go to the store and use them, I notice no discernible difference. Its amazing. But I did finally run into a hiccup with video editing and some real estate photography stuff that I do so I went out a few weeks ago and built an i7 6700k, 16gb,…

Or charges you $3 per month to use the online payment system. Really, you’d rather pay someone to open the envelope and process a check? That’s dumb, but I’m not going to pay extra for the privilegede of paying my bill so here’s your check.

Next time, use your microwave. It will soften the gunk enough so that you can just rinse it off. And please take video.

You must be fun at parties.

Agree with you 100% that we should be using fuel/unit of distance, not distance/unit of fuel. One math quibble, though:

“However, if your baseline is 10MPG and you’re off that by that same 4MPG your fuel consumption is 40% above baseline.”

Actually, it's 67% above baseline. This highlights why MPG is a bad metric. 100…

This is what he was saying.

28-year-old Frasier had allegedly just stepped aside to find a bathroom after consuming numerous cans of Crab Juice from a street vendor.

Your statements about ‘the arcane system of accounting’ in football appear rather misguided. The salary cap isn’t related to profitability, per se, it’s related to creating a level playing field and increasing competitiveness in the NFL every year. It has generally been successful at that because it forces teams to…

In order to use the Supercharger network, GM/Nissan/etc. (i.e. the automakers) would have to directly contract with Tesla. This stands in opposition to literally every other charging network, in which the vehicle owners contract with the charging network for access.

For anyone interested in more, this is one of the best. I have the full version with a lot of in-depth stuff and a treasure trove for non-pilot aviation buffs. Capt. Raps was Lufthansa’s most celebrated captain, took delivery of LH’s first A380 and this flight was his last before retiring. His farewell party & him…

I too am a Saab owner.

“Alcohol just miraculously makes everything better?”

From a dealer’s perspective...you own one of the most sought after cars at an auto auction. A clean Civic requires hand to hand combat to buy some weeks. You want one of the least sought after vehicles (by class anyway) currently. Hybrids are a tough sell with gas at $1.75 a gallon.

I would kindly like to point out that the "meat based algorithm" can run the uber routes, fuel and maintain the vehicle, provide Turing test passable conversations, react to sudden and unexpected emergencies, react to impromptu logic breaking requests, is self repairing, and provides this mind boggling level of…

Eventually computers will do pretty much every job except the ones we want to do, and this concept that you need to be employed in a pointless job to live a healthy life will be nonsense. We are all meat based algorithms and we are replaceable. We need to accept that and work towards it, not hide from it.

I absolutely agree with you, I’m just saying it’s a highly profitable business model for movie theaters that intend to pick up movies on their release dates. When the studio is getting most of the ticket, you might as well limit the ticket sales and chase after amenity revenue.

I love my local Alamo Drafthouse. Where I live AMC charges over 10 dollars a ticket, and Cinemark is almost as expensive. But at the Drafthouse a matinee is 8 bucks, plus, as a Victory member, I get rewards, coupons on food, free screenings, and the popcorn is only 8 bucks with UNLIMITED refills. Plus, everyone who’s…

I’d totally pay $50 and have six or eight friends round for beers, BBQ and a screening on my projector. It took a lot of convincing the wife to turn a basement room into a home theater, and while it’s no MTV cribs screening room level of kit*, I made sure the experience was theater-like by not skimping on the…

Yeah.
