I was thinking THPS2...

I remember getting a game for $60 in like 1991. Bill Elliott’s Nascar Challenge. It was terrible. even at a young age, i felt bad that it was so expensive and so shitty.

there’s been talk for years about switching away from bar codes to RFID tags. If that happens, it solves the problem. you’re fridge will be able to figure out everything that’s in it, and when it expires. How much is left? that’s trickier. maybe if each shelf had a scale, it could tell how much lighter something got…

I’d put in like 1000 marbles. Then they’d wonder why their gas tank only holds 3 gallons and they are constantly having to fill up.

That’s why i wonder how about how hard it is to fix it. I would think it would stop running long before it got to the point where the sugar could really do serious damage.
I think mythbusters showed that bleach is the worst.

you just described the “ProjectFarm” channel on youtube. He puts all sorts of stuff into lawn mower engines to see the results. He measures compression before and after and shows what the valves look like afterward. Actual Science and results.

It bothers me a little that he trashed a car to do this.
It bothers me SO MUCH MORE that there was no science to this.
How much coke did he put in, just that 1 2L bottle? How much gas was there? How did he even get the gas in past the little flap valve on the gas tank filler neck? What if he just drained the tank and…

So it’s dependent on my phone? It’s a $35 button that triggers something on my phone? This seems like $0.50 button they sell to support development costs. I get it, but man that’s a lot of money for a Simple thing.

Why would I want something that works through my phone though? Does this mean that it won’t work for…

I think people have that attitude because they have seen it happen. Once one woman does it, everyone remembers how they got screwed by the one woman who took maternity leave, and then when she was supposed to come back, she quit. Or She quit not long after coming back to work to take a different job.
I would bet the…

In college I went into one near the grocery store I used. The prices were crazy, TV’s for 2-3x what they would cost up the street at walmart. If you did the math on the ‘rent to own’ costs, it was insane. Not to mention the stuff they were selling was shit. Pawn shops were equally disappointing. HIGH prices for out of…

I bet that passes California SMOG testes. /s

maybe Jalopnik or Gizmodo isn’t the serious investigative journalism, but it would be interesting to see a followup on these stories. I’m sure there are a dozen of these stories in the gawker archives. How are they doing now? Holding down a steady job and making ends meet?

Since amazon only records information when you say alexa, is it all that bad? Did anything come from amazon giving up the information to the police?
If anything, it might be a good thing. If someone is murdering you, you can say “Alexa, I’m being attacked by Ryan Jones.” or something. Then at least they can catch the…

why not talk about the fact that the sentate bill is the first tax bill to give women equal status? Every other tax plan assumes women make less money than men, which is why the tax brackets do not double for married people vs single. This hurts couples who make the same salary.

I did math to figure out my taxes a few months ago when trump came up with his plan. I did it again with the last bill.
There was a site that compared the house and senate bills. One increases my taxes 500$ and the other decreases them $500. Until they consolidate their two bills into one, it doesn’t matter. The bills…

I imagine that every outlet brand is different. If you know the amperage of your outlet’s charger you could figure something out.

Wireless charging is awesome. Put phone down at night, pick up in the morning. Charged. No need to figure out why the cable fell under the bed, or what I just knocked over when I picked the phone up in the morning.

do you know of any USB battery packs that can act as a UPS? Seems like every battery pack I’ve seen can only charge or provide power, not both at the same time. If you unplug it, the power stops.
I did see a few that could do this, but they are no longer available.

Would be nice to have a small battery backup for…

Who uses disposable plates at thanksgiving? Hand washing, F that!
