I am not a lawyer, certainly not a constitutional one, but where* is Trump getting the idea that impeachment should afford him any particular “due process” whatsoever? The due process is whatever the House and Senate say it is, right? Because they have the “sole power of Impeachment” / “sole power to try all…

I read elsewhere that they don’t know exactly what they even changed in the RDR version vs. the GTA 4 version that was being co-developed and eventually ported.

Based on twitter searching the various numbers:

He also got the number wrong, because the Electoral College has 538 electors: 435 (one for each Representative) + 100 (one for each Senator) + 3 (D.C. gets the same number as the least populous state). So 223 should be 232.

I’ve read that this is probably caused by lifts in his shoes. His heels are elevated which puts his entire body off balance.

The “N_-1 + 1" (i.e. always one more than the last time he mentioned them) Angry Democrats are by far my favorite supporting characters in the film script Trump is continually writing in his head. I really wished someone would have asked him, “Could you name one of those Angry Democrats, Mr. President? First or last…

The “you’ll get President Pelosi!” threat would be smart, which is why I’m skeptical that Trump is doing that.

They don’t want to give up, they just figure the small edge they might gain from the data is smaller than what the candidates would lose if Trump gets butthurt and starts badmouthing them in tweets and rallies.

What might get me to pay for cloud gaming would be time-based plans that you can use on any game in the catalog. The ability to start up a game for very low up-front cost and without downloading 50+ GBs each time actually seems appealing. Spending $40-$70 on a game I can only access in the cloud does not. I’m also…

Yes, it’s familiarity combined with lack of widespread comprehension of how much more destructive a “big” quake is than a “medium” one. One additional point on the scale represents 10 times more shaking, so a 7.0 is 100 times stronger than a 5.0. The estimated 7.9 1906 San Francisco quake was 10 times stronger than…

I had never actually looked it up, I just assumed Coke had more of a “bite” in part due to a larger proportion of phosphoric acid, which they reduced to get a “softer” mouthfeel for New Coke.

Yeah, Coca-Cola decided to change the recipe because the “Pepsi Challenge” ad campaign was working. They basically dialed back the acidity, added a little more sugar and effectively got Pepsi.

Actually I just looked at Steam on my phone and I think I just got credited for the money I spent on Monday. It definitely wasn’t there last night.

If you’ve already got achievements in a game, you just have to “play”, i.e. run, it for 30 minutes during the sale to unlock the points. You’ll probably end up with excess points by a factor of like 100 to 1.

I think the bonus was only for recent purchases in close proximity to the start of the sale, so that people wouldn’t complain (as much) about losing out on point capacity just because they bought at 9:01 AM instead of 10:01. People would also be incentivized to refund and rebuy those games.

One weird old trick ELIMINATES real estate speculation and incentivizes creation and improvement of housing! Landlords hate it!

Several players can do it, including the very popular AT-120, but the built-in preamp that feeds into the analog-to-digital converter tends to be average at best. And it can be inconvenient to connect a computer to it, especially a non-portable one. I think a lot of people get a player like that thinking they’ll…

Gaming-as-a-service allows for a lot of pricing models, but they probably couldn’t get publishers to sign on.

The primary software will be a phone app or a Chrome tab, like other Cast applications. The Stadia controller is wifi-enabled, so when you start up a game, the app or browser will connect your Chromecast to the video stream, and also configure the controller to connect to your game so that your actions go directly to…

The bundle includes a Chromecast Ultra, which supports 4k.. Some sites have said only the Ultra will support Stadia but I don’t know why the standard (3rd generation) wouldn’t. Maybe that will arrive later or it just wasn’t in this leaked release.
