My best friend is a teacher, and I’ve hung out with him and his teacher pals. It definitely checks out.

I feel like everyone I know who became teachers were the absolute wildest people I knew in college, so this probably checks out.

Final Fantasy wasn’t nearly as appreciated in the West back then, either. For a lot of people (myself included), FF7 was our first experience with the series. So it’s not out of the question that Earthbound 64 could have had the same impact. 

And nitpicking about whether or not one of them actually got to ‘space’, or past the Kármán line, first, ignoring that both billionares were beaten to the punch by Dennis Tito, who bought his way to the ISS back in 2001.

I’m not normally one to knock the writers of this site, I have stupid opinions too, but Eric consistently writes questionable content. It’s getting to the point where I’m going to stop clicking on his articles.

How ever much shade Erik wants to throw on this accomplishment, Virgin Galactic’s ship performed exactly as they planned and expected. In no way did it not achieve what they set out to do yesterday.

But come on, man, Branson’s stunt only barely cleared that.

Why the hate? Someone’s gotta fork over the big bucks if our governments won’t. Let the Bazillionare Space Race commence, and godspeed, I say. We’ll get some actual technological advancements that will further mankind’s journey into the cosmos, while also having a chance to witness some one-percenter explode on…

there’s a joke to be made here about how first party nintendo games never go on sale, but this is ridiculous

Does anyone finds these types of speedruns interesting? They just find exploits that others have done and then they combine them to finish the game the fastest.

It makes me sad to see a PS2 sitting on a garbage pile. I was a teenager when they first launched, and it was pretty much impossible to find one. Online ordering wasn’t really a thing back then, so that meant I had to call brick & mortar retail stores every morning asking if they got any. The day somebody finally said…

So is this a result of packaging/liners? Is it just crappy source water?  Flavorings?

Carbonated water, while acidic, destroys enamel at a rate slower than it self-repairs. Cola, on the other hand, combined with the sugar is has, potentially destroys it faster.

Wasn’t that basically debunked? As in you had to drink gallons a day to have any difference? 

“I don’t know how someone could even stomach a drink of [Perrier], let alone *enjoy* an entire bottle”

I keep seeing this comment and it confuses the hell out of me.

$340 seems absolutely insane for this. 

yeah the ipad Mini is basically the same price range, but many times over the performance

I like the concept here, but the price is insane for what you get. I see that Alex loves it, and even why, but each sentence of praise has an explicit or implicit “but” in it listing a shortcoming. It’s slow. It doesn’t have much RAM, storage is on par with my 5-year-old Galaxy Tab S2. And so on. And it’s priced like…

This is a nifty idea, but $340 seems like a big ask for a tablet that is missing so many little creature comforts. No speakers? Really?
