Being an engineer today, it’s just mind blowing to me that there was a time when the discussions for these things went:

I shared a dorm room with a “railfan” my Sophomore year of college. That kid was weird as hell. He would literally sit at his desk and watch dvds of trains rolling through intersections. He would listen to realtime train communications broadcasts. Our college had a Model Railroad club and even those people thought he…

I kind of get that, though—when I drive around in the XC70, I get the feeling that I can park it on the questionable side of town without a second glance because it’s just a Volvo, yet it doesn’t stick out like a sore thumb once I head up into the ritzier neighborhoods either. In that vein, I feel like Subarus also…

I don’t see how these shape the choices of single, working mothers, other than a minor reference in Miller’s piece. What I do know is that I was the breadwinner in my marriage AND I took care of all the home and child needs, exclusively. Though he made much less, we needed his income (or I thought I did - turns out I…

“Discrimination and family-unfriendly policies are among the causes, but research has suggested another influence: “The returns to working long, inflexible hours have greatly increased” in this “winner-take-all economy.”

We’re more “productive” than ever, but we work hours as long as our parents or grandparents, and yet struggle more than they did to afford a house or any semblance of financial stability. We need another workers’ rights / trade union push, like the one that got us 8 hour days and the 5 day working week. We should be…

Dicks out for the unsullied.  That fighting retreat made me cry like a baby.  Everytime they shouted “Hoo!” in the face of extinction, I was like “Westeros doesn’t deserve you!”

Every day I go out to my garage and gaze upon my bright red Solstice. Then I check things over, climb in and turn the key. Immediately, he bursts into mechanical thunder. Right after I bought him, I removed the silencer from the exhaust and replaced it with a very short glass pack. Then we roll out into the Kansas…

I thought it was... /fine./ Maybe it was the environment of playing at a con with a club I wasn’t part of, with only one person who had played it before, like a week after it came out. I’m not sure if the game worked well in the adversarial co-op card game space. Maybe I’d need to try it again, but I’m not sure I want…

Travis, as a huge Bloodborne fan, I can understand why you keep bouncing off it. First of all the core game doesn’t have a huge amount of replay value, most of the time it feels pretty same-y regardless of which final boss we are using. Secondly, it’s a bit of a weird beast - it’s coop but not really but you need to…

This thing’s only virtue is that it makes the Chevy SSR look practical. Five crack pipes with a fentanyl chaser.

Looking at this evoques nausea and flu like symptoms. I would rather spend the day at the dentist than driving this. CP.

It should maybe be like church: encourage people to dress well out of respect, but accept everyone as they are and be glad they’re there. I agree with the principal that parents are a child’s first teacher, but damned if you shouldn’t be thrilled they are present and participating, no matter the circumstances of their…

My guess is that this is an empty show of brinksmanship, and little else—but I’ve been wrong before.

The main differences between Valve and Epic are twofold:

“Also, Tim Sweeney stated that Epic has a 10% share on ownership of the Brooklyn Bridge that they are looking to move to a motivated buyer.”

Right now, the Epic Game Store has two competitive advantages that it can sell to publishers: An 88/12 cut, and a willingness to throw hyumangeous beeg bags of Fortnite BR cash at publishers for store exclusivity.

I had a first date in my week-old-to-me Volvo S60, which I parked up on the beach, had our first kiss, looked at a Ford Transit spin its rear wheels as they dug deeper into the sand, saw a man old enough to know better getting, er, orally stimulated in a Civic del Sol two cars across (this was mid-afternoon), only to…
