I was trying to think of an Amtrak joke, but I couldn’t stay on track.

I honestly don’t care if Stadia becomes the next big thing,  kills consoles,  and everyone has to play laggy games forever.  Why?  Because I’m officially declaring myself an old man,  and this is where I’m done.  I now plan to live out the rest of my life replaying the great games from the before time as I shake my…

That’s cool, you have your opinion, but it’s deliberately calling out the thing that has put them to where they are, the thing that they are choosing on their own as a career path.

I dislike the use of the quote “they’re all the goddamn same”. Yeah, they are more or less. Conventions are a business. You’re doing your cosplay as a business. If the conventions are were you have to go to flex your business and make money, boo hoo that they’re all the same - you’re doing this as a business.

No, the donations big enough to be considered bribes usually get what they pay for.

Since 1996 Ethiopian Airlines has had two hijackings and one attempted hijacking. They have had 3 fatal crashes.

Isn’t a donation to a political campaign by definition a donation to a scam?

No, sorry I didn’t prove your point.
You just accidentally proved that you don’t know how averages work.

What about this throwback jam?

If you’ve ever actually ridden London escalators for the Tube, you’ll realize that the left walking lane is often open even when huge volumes of people are waiting for the escalator. Because most people choose to wait & stand. That’s why the capacity goes up.

They found that with this switch, the escalator could take an extra passenger every two seconds. That’s 28 percent more passengers who could ride on the escalator in a given period of time, if everyone stopped trying to walk.

It doesn’t look like they did a scenario where everyone walked on both the right and left of the escalator.

Can we address the real problem with escalators? Why is it that when an escalator breaks... people don’t treat them like stairs? Just shut off the power, and let me walk up the escalator...

Standing may increase throughput, but it increases latency. It’s still faster on the individual level to walk up, and having that open lane for walkers allows them to have that maximum speed. You are encouraging people to restrict the ability for anyone to choose to move faster, in order to increase overall…

Can we focus on the important bit from this please: someone had a pet mouse put down?

I bury them in the backyard, right next to the ex-wife...

Agreed. That calls for disqualification, as far as I would be concerned.

He got up and walked away. He wasn’t entitled to a do-over. Simple as that.

You must be very proud of yourself. 

Who divides by ten and then doubles it? You multiply by two and then knock a zero off. Surely that’s obvious?
