Nothing the most fervent freemarketeers hate more than the prospect of a more-free market that actually will assess their value.

Either way, it’s certainly “dumber.”

“Jurgen! None of us could believe it when the idiosyncratic German bit it in the penultimate episode. The man seemed like a lock for the final from the beginning.”

Definitely the biggest shock until just this past week when another heavy favorite bit it in the semis.

In the meantime, if anyone wants more of a good Venom simulator, play 2009's Prototype.  Good game in itself, and about a quarter of the way into it I realized that you’re basically playing Venom in every way.

So noted in the official record.

I do think the final is Josh’s for the taking.  He’s been consistently great and seems to be improving even over that.  Dan has been a bit spiky between great and WTF, while Matty is extremely solid but hasn’t hit the heights the other two have reached.  You never know, but if I were a betting man I’d put it all on…

Yeah, agreed (after finally finishing the ep last night).  Tasha was my favorite, but after the technical I felt it would take a miracle to move on, and she didn’t have one, so there was really no doubt.

“They’re”

And in either case, if you’re giving it to someone as a gift it’s easier to wrap the box with the glasses, so they can do what they want afterwards as far as I’m concerned.

I’m more convinced that it’s simply the end of the early adopter era when ludicrous prices could be charged for EVs without consumer pushback, and now that the companies have to transition to appealing to the broader market, which means per-unit profit will have to be less, they’re being sad and hoping someone else…

Sure, but since votes can pass through that one, I want the literal version.

Imagine how many national - nay, global - problems could be addressed by throwing up a stout wall around it and allowing neither light nor information to be exchanged between it and the outside world.

Could also have been the classic “fake a heart attack to try to get out of trouble” thing.

But what they really want to do is direct!

“Even if it was a crappy situation for the kid”

Nicely done.

You can’t possibly be this stupid.

I think the “air fryer” is the home kitchen tech that solves this, after now having used it a few times after we bought a new stove.  The frozen tots now can get properly crispy without getting greasy, and I really have been impressed with how much an improvement it is for stuff like this.

Regarding the photo caption, okay, yeah, that’s definitely a cool-as-hell shot.

Alternately: please close these seventeen popups and find where in the comments among dozens of autoplay video ads the answer is given.

Plus now they’ll have interest running up on that $36 million judgement.
