I’d imagine the title is an homage to Tolkien whose experiences fighting in WWI greatly influenced his writings. I recall hearing a story of how he and other soldiers would scribble phrases and drawings on cavern walls in between battles.

From someone who knows nothing about the intricacies of porting or coding for that matter: does Nintendo even have good developer tools or use a language/OS that makes porting easy? If a PC developer wants to take their Steam game and put it on the Switch, how cumbersome is that?

Well there’s your problem! You aren’t supposed to stand. You’re supposed to sit.

Is this the new retail price and not a limited sale?

Just an FYI - Anker now has a Nintendo Switch glass screen protector on Amazon for preorder. It’s one of the few well known brands offering such a solution at the moment.

Don’t fuck with hospital workers. They go through enough real shit to have to put up with this shit.

Would this work for breast pumps? Asking for a friend...

Every company is different and I’m not entirely certain of this, but company pensions for their employees are typically managed internally and employees don’t have any control over how that money is invested. They give you that control in your company 401k program and even then, it’s sometimes limited. So, if you want…

What terrifies me is that longer investment horizons are using heavy fee-based managers and are not being put into passive, low-risk index funds that require little upkeep. Shorter term, sure - if you have gobs of money and you know a manager who has a great strategy for the current market, maybe make a small bet from…

Ah okay thanks anyways. I don’t dislike them - I’m just not interested in it and so I want to make my reading more efficient with the short breaks I have at work and pair down to what I do enjoy.

I’m kind of in the same boat. Is there a way to filter out the Compete articles?

I’m saving up for a color laser printer with all-in-one features (scanner, copy, fax,  multi-page feed). But I have no idea what is a good brand and a good price. It’s hard to tell what’s truly a sale and what’s a “sale” anymore. Anyone have suggestions?

I think this may have more to do with me becoming more and more jaded with material possessions as I get older. Cars look and sound cool, don’t get me wrong. I had a ‘69 Mach I when I was younger and that thing was awesome. But when you step back and look at it holistically, they’re kind of a bummer from a financial…

I’m not at a party entertaining guests. But take it as a differing opinion. Look at it this way: you can’t always go through life only hearing what you want to hear.

Yep, the older I get, the more I realize what money pits cars really are. You’re paying interest on a loan for something that started depreciating in its value on day one, all the while the odometer is merely a ticking clock of when the expensive maintenance associated with high mileage kicks in. It requires weekly…

I have the smaller of the two and, while great, I recommend springing for the XL. It has a few features the smaller one doesn’t have, like different colors (smaller one just has blue), and a variable control knob (smaller one has 2 speeds via button press).

Still a better experience than this “35,040 Hours of a Guy Tweeting His Crazy Too Many Times”.

It’s a bug, plain and simple. Sometimes a bug is just a bug.

Completely and utterly off-topic, but I wish there was a website or blog that focused specifically on “affordable” cars. I admit, I’m not a gear head and I’m just not enthralled by luxury brands and performance cars that cost more than my mortgage. Maybe it’s because I’m a poor, but I really enjoy reading up on…
