I’m pretty sure you just found Io9's new tag line. Take your damn star!

But what if I want a phone that works just as fast as it always has, but with less battery life instead of a similar battery life and less performance? I know Apple like to tell me what I need, but throttling processors without an option to turn it off is annoying at best.

Following the twist, their rivalry morphs into a story about a white woman seeking to unseat a multiracial, black woman from her social station—specifically by exposing the truth about her heritage. The term “half-breed” should be seen as quite loaded in this context.

Last time he delivered it personally. I would have tipped him, but his beat up Neon leaked oil all over my driveway.

Flavorless was a smart choice, but more accurate options were brimstone and Nicolas Cage flop sweat.

I don’t think so.

It’s not the 80s/90s anymore. The modern standard is you hit the ground running or you don’t. Because now there’s more shows than ever before and if you aren’t amazing by episode 1 you don’t stick out.

I know people will say “watch it whole and it will be worthy”. But I couldn’t get past 3 eps. “Lackluster” is an understatement. It was really, really bad, and I don’t care if it gets better at the last episode. A show, any show, shouldn’t be that awful and expect the audience to keep giving it good numbers in…

I wonder if they’ll ever do a non-whitewashed live action Bane.

The shame of it is (well, maybe shame is too deeply felt a sentiment), if any show could get away with a full-on El Santo-style luchador Bane it would be Gotham.

I haven’t done it in some time (and certainly not since the legal weed went into effect), but I’ve done day trips from Seattle to Vancouver tons of time. It might be a red flag now, but it the past I’ve never had trouble.

I can’t emphasize it enough...using a password manager, *really* using it - integrating it into your workflow, installing it on all your devices, keeping all your passwords (and other data!) there, and allowing it to create/save new more complicated passwords for each of your web sites - is a total life-changer. Never…

Its impossible for it to be legalized in the US before it’s voted on.

Why should you believe the site you are signing into isn’t the same thing? How do you know your bank isn’t compromised and stealing your password? At some point, you have to trust someone. LastPass has been around for a while and nothing has come out about them, so it is fair to believe they are doing what they say.…

Motorized camera popup? I can only imagine that this feature would break easily after a few drops leaving you completely without a camera. Also, forget about adding a case for protection because this feature would be useless. Other than that, good to see at least there are companies willing to innovate.

but a touchscreen windows tablet makes a terrible laptop, unless you use a keyboard and trackpad/mouse. Otherwise its just a tablet. okay for web browsing, games, and videos but not much else

and thats excellent for using your tablet as a tablet. Terrible if you wanna pretend your tablet is a workstation or laptop

What they’re not saying is that these page owners would never have engaged in such behavior if Facebook’s own algorithms had not favoured these tactics. For years and years if you did this, you “won.” Not necessarily by driving clicks to your website’s ads (that’s never worked really well on FB) but by getting the…

Technically misandry & “reverse racism” does exist. I know I’m being pedantic but there is a difference between, for example, racism as an individual bias and institutional racism. Institutional misandry and white-targeted racism aren’t real but those individual biases do exist. 

The women who served on Pike’s Enterprise, which is 13 years prior to TOS all wore pants and tunics with a cowl-like neck:
