For what it’s worth, Microsoft has a history of monopolist behaviour including one of the largest antitrust judgements ever against them. So having a different standard for Microsoft is actually reasonable, especially since they’ve been showing signs of going back to their old habits that got them into so much trouble…

I’m “that guy.” If the CEO wasn’t an unhinged genius who I have no intention of supporting financially or otherwise, I’d probably have a Tesla parked in my garage now, and if not I’d have ordered a Y at this fire sale price. It’s not like the class-leading infrastructure is going away, and I’d have this fancy high…

I came here looking for what used to be The Root; instead I found Bossip. This is absolutely awful. It’s not even the most interesting thing that could’ve been said about Blac Chyna/Jordan Woods, especially in light of her re-re arranging her face and renouncing plastic surgery--after she made a lotta money portraying…

Gotta admit, though, that Russia probably didn’t arrest her because she had some weed vapes. The whole thing looked like a hostage taking. With that as context, ol’ Kim there could have at least said something sympathetic. At least she was on brand with Baylor, a school whose men’s team was implicated in covering up a…

My friend, you cannot compare a “cumulative” chart to a, uh, regular chart. Also note the very noticeable decrease in slope rise in the last section.

A lot of babies really don’t like the pressure change, especially if they are congested.  My kids were almost always good, with one exception when my daughter basically screamed for 2 straight hours.  One of the flight attendants actually carried her up and down the aisle for a while to calm her down.  It was awful,…

What an extraordinarily ignorant view on children and parenting. This may sound shocking, but tiny children often behave very differently from each other, regardless of the parenting method. 

Wwwwwwwwwwwow, this is the wrongest take that has ever wronged out onto the internet.

There is no passenger 747-8-> freighter conversion certified. With so few passenger 747-8s built one is unlikely to every be developed, as chances of recouping costs is remote (even if a lot of engineering work has been developed for things like 747-400 conversions). 

Vingroup has businesses all over Vietnam. You might buy groceries at VinMart and clothing at VinPlaza.

Tom is 100,000% correct - Done in one.

He’s insanely rich because he started out ridiculously rich because of apartheid South Africa, I think you can guess

Same sort of event that put AF 447 into the Atlantic. Seems like time to review to see if Air France has a little problem with training on choosing who gets to fly the plane.

If you drove the sub-100 HP cars you would find that it is in fact, plenty of power for civilized driving.

It is laughable that Americans all feel like they “need” 200+ HP just to prevent holding up the absurdly slow-moving traffic of the US.

“With a wheezing 100hp motor”

It’s actually rather good for it’s purpose. This wasn’t after all ugliest car, but worst.

The Talbot Tagora:

I profoundly disagree with you on that choice. It was a fun city car that sold quite a lot in Quebec. The only issue, after 7-8 years, was how badly it rusted.
