I bought a 2018 GTI (SE automatic with leather) a few weeks ago. Only one dealer within an hour of me had the color and trim I wanted, so I asked them to send me the ePrice. The saleswoman quoted the MSRP back so I asked if they could make that the out-the-door total (approximately $3000 off). She texted back that…

I saw the video before knowing the tic-tac-angle and thought it was going to be a “make a layup, make a free throw, make a 3-pointer, make a half court shot” game where she never made it to the free throw part.

My favorite is the skeleton pointing a gun at the viewer, headlined “Hell is full bitch” followed by the National Suicide Prevention Hotline telephone number.

Stephanie Pratt! Unlikely voice of reason...

The ripping software is the grey area. Making and keeping personal copies has always been recognized as legal despite complaints from big media companies (“Home taping is killing music”). With the DMCA, they finally made it illegal to distribute tools that circumvent any access control or copy protection method on…

Listen to Jesus, Jimmy!

It isn’t Mickey, it’s Snow White, Pinocchio, and all of the other stuff they dole out in limited release form.

I think we’ve actually reached the limit on copyright terms. Works released in 1923 will enter the public domain in 2019 and I haven’t seen any push yet to have Congress extend it.

I read my numbers wrong, I got 61 canes from timed goals and 57 by other means. I’m not 100% sure I got any canes by getting friendship levels, but I haven’t been maxing out requests every three hours either.

All of the Christmas goals are timed to last until the event ends. They probably won’t add more. However, I’ve played probably an hour today broken up into four chunks and got more than 70 canes by doing requests and gaining corresponding friendship levels. I also got some friendship levels by completing a new camp…

Maybe one award for worst NFL owner and another for all other leagues would have been fairer.

It’s even topical this time!

The extended Nexus 8 lifespan explains why Blade Runners are still retiring rogue replicants like Sapper Morton (Dave Bautista).

No Ghetto Blaster, no sale:

After thinking and reading a bit more I think I know the true reason. In order for a sender app to support Chromecast it needs to use APIs from Google Play Services. Amazon will never put Google Play Services into FireOS and they don’t want their apps on FireOS to be disadvantaged compared to their Apple / Google Play…

Protecting Fire Stick and Fire TV sales doesn’t seem like enough of a reason since Amazon does have Roku apps. I think it’s more that Google is an ecosystem competitor and also Amazon doesn’t like the Chromecast sender / receiver paradigm which probably inhibits buying more content compared to a full, on-device app.

They broke apart the scripts so that the algorithm would better capture each component of the show. Each participant inserted the lines corresponding to their part into a text prediction program. Then they generated a few lines at a time by choosing from the words suggested by the program and stitched them together to…

The bigger ones are better for making chicken and beef stock, which you should definitely do.
