It’s obviously not what, it’s where, they’re consciously shafting customers in rural areas and smaller remote cities. There are recent message board posts with hundreds of pages of similar complaints already, and established magazines have already begun reporting on it. I can tell you that when I called their CS…

This is a great example of Bezos’ genius: Amazon stopped even pretending to try to fulfill the “2 day delivery” promise they used to induce most members to join Prime in the first place (I haven’t had a delivery arrive in less than 5 days since summer and my last Prime purchase, a $20 olive oil sprayer which was…

There’s also the inconvenient fact that it hasn’t demonstrated any real ability in the snow, at all.  Kind of a problem for everyone north of the Ohio.  

It isn’t. I live in a far northern city and have had multiple AWD vehicles (Toyota and Audi) that I ran in winter on name-brand all-season tires (Michelin, Conti); my current winter car, a Gen-1 Mazdaspeed3, even lowered on coilovers, with the cheapest winter tires I could find on eBay (Federal), is way more…

Considering Toyota refuses to accept custom orders, meaning at best you'll get whatever your dealer can snag from the vehicle configurations they deigned to build, fantasy is a great descriptive word choice.

My friend, let me introduce you to the Tavern League of Wisconsin...

Well, there’s the whole thing with Elden Ring being a legitimate contender for the single best videogame ever made, which is not something anyone with intact faculties has ever said or felt about an Ubi game.

Just go to a broker and tell him to find the best package rate on all your lines, you'll save more than that without having to submit to any nonsense. 

They’ve already been doing it for years with their OBD spy device programs like Progressive’s “Snapshot” (I love that they didn’t even try to hide the Orwellian nature of the product, they literally gave the game away with the creepy name itself and suckers still bought in). No matter what data or privacy laws are in…

The 80s were insane. I used to go the new mall near my house all the time to hit the Aladdin’s Castle, alone, with whatever quarters I could scrounge (plus I would almost always find some tokens in the returns of the machines). I was in first grade. No one batted an eye; today that’s probably a near-certain arrest…

Yeah, well, you may be right, but it’s awfully difficult to LARP as a super bad-ass soldier (with their own fellow citizens, who can’t shoot back, as the “enemy”, of course) in a minivan, unless you’re hyper secure in your masculinity, and of course American law enforcement is far, faaaaar more Scot Peterson/Pete…

The local Pigg closed decades ago, before I even left for college, but I still remember their bakery being light years ahead of every other grocery stores’ in the area. The bismarcks were particularly decadent.

I love that this stupid thing looks like it was a rendered by a pre-3dfx integrated GPU.

Or provide the extracted and processed lithium to build the requisite batteries in the first place. Even if every single environmental standard was dropped and every mine permit fast-tracked to commence work tomorrow, the only way this planet will produce enough lithium annually by the time the decade is out is if a…

Amen, exactly what I wanted to see here. A developer being “blindsided” by the abrupt cancellation of a Google project is like Sam Sheepdog being shocked that Ralph Wolf would attempt to swipe a sheep.  

I don’t really understand the Galadriel hate, either. I mean, I don’t especially care about her character and wouldn’t have minded if she didn’t feature in the series, but her portrayal here seems more or less on point with what one might expect of an ancient immortal who was born the granddaughter of two of the three…

Is Pharazon “main cast”? Because that actor has him down to a T, he’s in line with my pre-existing image of him to an extent I haven’t seen since Lee’s Saruman.  

The son lists multiple prior cars that have rusted out on the guy, meaning he’s likely either in New England or the Upper Midwest, which in turn suggests he’d also be extending pops an open invitation for ride requests for five months a year.

Beyond Good and Evil was the last AAA game released for $40 MSRP on the PS2 in 2003

I had a HS English teacher thirty years ago who was convinced that The Adventures of Baron Munchausen would have a post-release second life revival on par with The Wizard of Oz, so if he’s still alive he should be pretty happy he may have ultimately been right...
