They probably expected it to be a fun stocking stuffer that would remind the general public they still existed just before the Switch launch

“he’s made tremendous progress with President Xi and has visited China”

I’m sure ol’ Douchehat wouldn’t mind his face being bloodied a bit first though ... totally trivial compared to traveling with kids, right?

I think it was done because he said that he was a doctor and had to see patients the following day. So, they did some fact checking and a part of it was he is a doctor, but guess what else.

I normally don’t like this sort of long “Twitter dump,” but this one is wonderful... there’s a rhythm and weight to her delivery via Tweets that seems almost poetic, I had the same sort feeling reading this that I did reading something like The Odyssey...!

the real question though is if Sony will decide to just go out its way and have a PS4 Pro price drop once the Scorpio releases.

They sell the scorpio at a low price as loss leader to dominate the market in performance quickly and have devs and consumers be into getting on board with it sooner.

It’s got to be better than the utterly awful official Apple cables, which reliably distingrate after about six months...

As I said before, they’re not asking, which is the problem.

Security? Is this an American thing? I’ve never seen security at a school.

I loathe the entire stupid “show meaningless token support by wearing a lapel pin and if you forget the gutter press pukes out endless conspiratorial blather about it” culture... especially the way the damn U.S.-flag pin has apparently become mandatory for American politicians.

Nah, if you are flying with passes you basically have to wear business casual.

2) There are plenty of accidents where the person not “at fault” could easily have avoided the wreck if they’d had any situational awareness.

Wouldn’t the practical course be to take half-and-half (lump sum and profit-percentage)? That way you avoid losing too badly in either scenario...

Given the enormous amount of insane anti-Pelosi rhetoric (maybe “shrieking” would be a better word) from the loony right, it’s very refreshing to see a positive article about her...!

There are like 6 gyms (that I know of!), of all sizes and characters, within a 10 minute walk of my house...

This is especially appealing, as despite the somewhat outdated processor etc, the displays (and casing etc) on iDevices have always been top-notch, way better than cheap displays you often see used in DIY projects. Of course for your 1st gen iPad, the resolution’s going to be lower, but that’s totally fine for many…

When it comes to “his audience isn’t abandoning him,” I’m wondering whether there isn’t some change in that audience ... e.g. as some people leave because of his distasteful content, new alt-right nutters, neo-nazis, etc, join simply to support the distasteful content...

Yeah, but be careful. A lot of slang is nuanced. Don’t use a word unless you’ve heard it multiple times in context.

My main problem with pinyin is that when you’re reading a book for kids and it’s in both characters and pinyin
