Number one through 1000 in this situation is the storage medium. macOS after Snow Leopard doesn’t seem to like the higher IO latency of mechanical hard drives even more than any old OS feels slower on them. It’s really tailored for SSDs. Any mac in the last 5-6 years should feel pretty good once the rust drive is…

Yeah. They had some great material to work with, the Greg Bear forerunner trilogy were some of the best video game based books I’ve ever read, Hunt the Truth was really interesting and exciting, even the Chief vs Lock marketing was sort of interesting...And then they just asspull this AI rebellion thing. That’s what…

This article is the real gem, I wish I could tattoo *this* on my mind!

That’s the funny part about it, I don’t think it’s overtly explained so many people just think he’s a happy guy giving a thumbs up, but that used to be a rough guide, and within the context of the game that was likely the semi-hidden meaning. 

On your gravestone

“Even if theoretically surviving a single nuclear explosion, there is likely not going to be ‘just one.’ Like a radioactive Lay’s potato chip, no nation can eat it just once.”

If it’s bigger than your thumb, as I learned from video games!

“Well, I don’t want to be responsible for all these kids in a nuclear apocalypse!” 

If North Korea were “flattened” - what sword would be left for China to die on? What would be the point? 

iirc that was more of a morale (and pessimistically publicity) stunt, as he didn’t fly anywhere near an ISIS zone. Nor would it make sense to risk him like that, of course, but he’s certainly not taking the same risk as regular pilots.

Exploded sarin is destroyed, not weaponized...

Apparently the Russians are claiming to have knocked some down? Some twittering about 70 or so being launched, 59 getting through. That would be a pretty good penetration rate with Russias most advanced S400 there...

The bloodborne hunter one could almost be Lady Maria with the right weapon. Best boss fight.

Tried it, it’s a horrible razor. Blade spacing makes it clog up and tug with every pass, even fresh.

Yep, really want a what-if machine to see where we would be today if this was chosen and finished. The x-35 was probably still the right choice, but still.

Everyone laughs but I’d love to see what a productionized version of that with RAM coatings would look like. The white fisher price scheme probably didn’t help its appeal, would look better already in the muted grey of RAM. In a what-if machine, at least, even if it had more issues than the X-35 in real life.

Literally just ordered the Soundbuds Sport two days ago, lol. Should be arriving today. Any point in sending them back and getting these instead, or are they just different categories?

If you’re not ready to make the safety razor plunge, Gillette made a single blade razor for India that you can import here that I really like. One blade, no gunk strip, even an open comb, and safety more like cart razors than safety razors. Yeah it’s from big bad Gillette, but I’m sure they hate you buying their 4…

“Much like Steve Jobs, many people (myself included) find fan noise kind of annoying. I once drove a Bentley with the A/C on full and was shocked at how loud the blower was. Surely in a Bentley you’d think they’d pay attention to something like that, right? Apparently not.”

This always annoys me too, it was one of my…
