Ryobi has kept the same power INPUT (battery sizes have physically changed) for their power tools for a loooong time now. All of the 18v equipment (including my yard equipment) hasn’t changed in decades, they just changed to Lithium.

I had a Ryobi drill, so when I needed to get a strimmer, I got a strimmer that took the same 18v battery (Lithium now ofc) because fuuuuuuck gas powered strimmers in particular. It was great, so when the time came to get a mower, I did the same. Takes two of the 18v (though I think they’ve moved to 40v for most of the…

Considering what we learned about the Secret Service coordinating with Jan 6th terrorists, I’m not shocked he gets a bad vibe. Are all agents bad? No, but this is a big “one bad apple” sort of thing.

To the guy complaining about the Volvo... why not just... plug it in for CarPlay?

No way this isn’t an employee. For something so frequent, it’s gotta be.

In what state is the birth mother not automatically recognized as a parent? Like, that’s literally part of being in the hospital. There must be a birthing parent on the form to even file a birth certificate.

Rein does indeed clear. 

I’m hearing these folks are contractors, who ... well, this is part of the game with being a contractor. Should it be? Maybe not. But most developer contractors have a very healthy hourly rate, much greater than the 1099 taxes offset. 

That’s a very fair complaint.

Overwatch World Cup is at Blizzcon, same as last year. The two things share a lot of players, but not all. You can’t logistically run both at the same time.

What the hell are you talking about? Moira is up there with Rein for number of S-tier skins. She also has some crazy stinkers, but Blackwatch, Banshee, Scientist, Queen of Thorns, and Ice Empress are all amazing. 

Occam’s Razor is that Mediatonic’s finance people were let go (as is usually the case, back office shared resources are the biggest cost savings in an acquisition) and didn’t transfer everything they were doing.

She looks like a sex doll in that picture.

I mean, I’m as Eat the Rich as much as the rest, but he’s literally not taking a salary.

This isn’t normal, regardless of what Sony says.

Seems like much of the layoffs were part of that Hyenas team. What’s weird is this is literally the first I’ve heard about this title at all. 

Redundancy is a specific legal term and very common in Europe. 

I do wonder how much of this is related to how much evidence across the various ATVI/MS acquisition discoveries really just lays out that Ryan got very, very complacent after MS fumbled the ball with the Xbox One’s initial announcement. 

Shepard hit the point while fumbling the rest and leaning far too into the scare-mongering from the Right:

If you’re not 100% for 100% transitions for Trans Youth, on an almost on-demand basis, you are the enemy.

The market has also increased quite a bit, though not enough to cover the difference.
