I was imagining a lip around the base of the switch that blocks light, or something around the light that directs it only upward instead of letting it leak in every direction. It doesn’t seem that crazy or difficult.

Sounds good. I would suggest having an editor or proofreader look at your materials, because many scientists don’t know proper style or grammar. I say this as a medical editor who has worked with plenty of MDs and PhDs over the years.

A plain 16"–18" (large) pizza in New York City (where I live) will run you between $13 and $20 (median $15), depending on the neighborhood. I don’t know anything about Swedish pizza, but I don’t recall having sticker shock seeing plain pizzas when I was in Japan.

What’s the advantage of using wood pellets? Higher heat? Flavor?

I didn’t see any expensive pizza in Japan aside from the silly ones loaded with seafood and with hot dogs in the crust. Still, they probably aren’t even that pricey when you consider how many calories you’re getting in a single pizza.

I hope they intend to have their materials proofread. They’re full of inconsistent capitalization and misspellings.

There were some barn cars in the barn of my childhood house, which my parents had moved into just a few years before I was born. There was an old jeep and then some kind of muscle-ish car that I have not much recollection of now, regretfully. I believe it was a Plymouth, but not a Superbird, of course.

Not everything is based on movies. Some things are based on reality. There is snow in the mountains in the United States, and in the northern states in general.

And a senile layperson using an N of 1 is a better source of information than all the experts and clinical trials in the world.

Idol groups seem to be getting bigger and bigger. In 20 years, everyone in South Korea will be in an idol group and will be prohibited from dating. [Cue “The Court of the Crimson King.”] The birth rate will hit a wall, and the last child will have become an idol himself. Then, whispers of a pregnancy. Our hero,…

I know what they are. The wires look naked and incorrect without them. The mini version also doesn’t need vents, memory card slots, or a tray-open button, but they’ve included mock versions of them. You know why? Because they’re all part of the look of the original console. Without the ferrite cores, these controllers…

Unlike Nintendo, Sony has not yet said that the game library will not be expandable. They’ve simply said that it comes with 20 preloaded. Let’s hope they one-up Nintendo by making it possible to add games later, even if they come in packs.

Why are the mini cords missing the gray cylinders near the plugs? It really doesn’t look right without those.

You have an article linked above where you argue the Cell shoes are good.

My first thought is, it’s a callback to the VHS sets of the Dragon Ball Z series back in the day. I had the entire Frieza arc on VHS, and they all lined up nicely like that. I guess that, in turn, was a callback to how the manga volumes line up with images. It’s pretty neat that they brought that idea to the shoes.

Awesome article, but vendor.

Yeah, but losing your saves locally is already exceedingly rare. I don’t think people should be hyperventilating over not having cloud backups. If they are, they can keep their subscriptions up to date—it’s really not that crazy.

I think they had to remind us to keep watching until the end because I was about to quit the stream and throw my Switch out the fucking window when that turned into a Smash Bros. announcement. Thank goodness they announced Animal Crossing very quickly after that.

Yeah, anyone who isn’t Japanese can/should say “see.”
