A bunch of us got quietly greyed for no apparent reason. But welcome back, good to see some of the regulars still slogging through the remnants of what’s left.

Wait, but how far can you throw Jesus? I’d pay at least $5 to see that.

Ahh, yes. This and Warcraft Adventures. Two games I had swag for that never wound up existing.

And yet due to some random unknown offense, I languish in the greys after being an approved Jez/Slot commenter for years. At this point I’m just waiting for the Herb to just put the whole network out of its misery and be done with it.

Why would anyone cook pre-cooked beans in an Instant Pot? They would turn into pile of mush like refried beans.

But the test accounts WERE using live servers. You’re ignoring the fact that they have tons of servers, and this bug only affected a few of them. If anything, the only way to truly test this would be to have as many test accounts as there are servers to test each one individually, which is impractical. Their proposed…

I think the idea is that he’s trying to look relatable by “being in on the joke.” Except it’s not working.

This is why area codes only had zeroes and ones in the middle position until the first overlays came around in the late 90s.

I like that the label is re-branded for the Australian market. “Removes bugs, sap, and tar!” Does the back of the can say “also can be used as a flamethrower when you have a 15 inch poisonous spider chasing you?”

Certainly it wouldn’t in the interest of the company who makes a product that sells to people who hold a common misconception to continue to perpetuate that misconception. I can’t think of a single reason they wouldn’t be entirely forthcoming on the official web site!

I felt a great disturbance in the Reddit, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out “well, actually...” and were suddenly silenced.

Kid: “I don’t even want to argue with you right now.”
Mom: “Good, don’t. You won’t win.”

You’re exactly right - I can put down a single-player game for months and then come back and finish it, no problem. Miss a couple weeks in something like Destiny, and you might as well never bother again. And then on the flipside, if the developers do wind up wiping progress or evening things out, the rest of the…

Could be as simple as merging in a bad branch. Team A is working on hotfix 123 that includes the “don’t delete players’ stuff” fix. Team B is working on hotfix 321 that fixes some random “players can glitch through this wall” exploit. Last week, hotfix 123 went out. This week, hotfix 321 went out, but didn’t include…

The coaches and/or athletic directors were in on the scam. The resume only needed to be believable to the admissions board, because they were coming with the recommendation from the coach/AD. There was never any legitimate intent for these kids to be on the team - they were supposed to “try out” but never actually…

I’m sure there are at least a handful of places that have a cheap sandwich. That’s still completely beyond the point. Are you going to tell me that Skyline Chili or whatever horrible Midwestern “delicacy” you want to pick is “common” in the Northeast because I can find one diner in Jersey that has it or something?…

Uh, yeah, but good leaders also have the brains to answer that question with something like “Yes, the app was tested, but unfortunately it appears there were unforeseen issues that caused it to underperform during the load of the live event.”

Going to a place and grabbing a $15 sandwich is not the same as grabbing a $6 sandwich from a corner store. That’s the point. They never said there are *no* sandwiches in DC. Simply that it isn’t as convenient or cheap. Again, you’re trying to find an argument that wasn’t made in the piece. The “bodega cat” thing is…

How many “KwikTrips” are there in downtown DC? Why is everyone rushing to this stupid “OH MY GOD YOU NEW YORKERS” thing? It’s specifically a post (based on an anecdote from AOC) about having trouble finding cheap, quick breakfast sandwiches in DC. I’m not even from NYC and have never lived there. But I can definitely s…

She never said it was a special NYC thing. She said that it’s an uncommon food to find easily *in DC*. Not every post is some hidden slight against the midwest.
