Keep in mind: JD Power initial quality surveys rely upon the validity of owners’ subjective opinion of quality and don’t weigh the severity of the complaints (engine failure vs interior quality or infotainment whining). As a result, the 500 sits at the bottom largely due to complaints about the infotainment system…

Idk what show you watched, but I just watched season 2 and it was a boring ass teen soap opera to the max. The show would be more at home on MTV in the days of teen smut drama shows. Over the top teen drama to the point of absurdity.

I am completely capable of manually updating every single driver, utility, and piece of software on my machines, but why on Earth would I waste the time doing that regularly without making any use of auto-updaters?

If you have the time to regularly update every aspect of your machine’s drivers and software by digging through each manufacturer’s respective website manually, good for you. That doesn’t mean auto-updaters are inherently bloatware or that people who use auto-updaters to save time are any less tech savvy.

Agreed, this shouldn’t be a shock to anyone. These BS hardware iterations were the exact reason I stopped buying anything from Nintendo. They release a new version that add a feature or two and it screws over the customers who bought the inferior version mere months prior. I bought the original clamshell Nintendo DS…

Yep, I’m one of those 50Mbps shoddy connection people. Awful wiring in an old house leading to not only lower than supported speeds at the modem, but also noise in the wires leading to packet loss and subsequent lag / connection timeouts.  The struggle is real.  It would cost several thousand to rewire the house to…

Unfortunately, like you mention, even if Microsoft or Google has the best servers with minimal server side lag, it doesn’t resolve the largest contributor to total lag experienced at the consumer end. The Majority of the delay and lag sources are on the client side, mostly caused by the client’s network.

I think Google faces an uphill battle just like all the other game streaming services when considering the U.S. Until majority of the public has sufficiently high download speeds paired with limited network delays, the main contributor to the lag/delays will be on the client side. Even if they throw as much money they…

It’s largely dependent on your internet speeds. Slow download or spotty service (or worse yet, relying on WiFi instead of a hard line) could make for a noticeably poor experience on any streaming service. Typically the lag from slow internet or bad network wiring will be magnitudes more significant in terms of…

Unfortunately, I think it’s a useless effort to extend the vaccination range for men aged 26+. The prior rationalization still stands by that point. If the young men weren’t vaccinated in their teens, the probability that they aren’t already exposed to HPV by the time they request vaccination in their late 20s is…

Due to all of the stresses and changes faced by teens, it’s no wonder that there is a high rate of suicidal ideation. For every two or three teens going through puberty, there’s probably one being bullied, ostracized, or stressed to the point of depression in some way.

Really isn’t that hard. Label the products as “[Meat type] Flavored Soy Product” or “[Meat type] Flavored Animal Substitute” etc.... “Pasteurized Cheese Product or “Cheese Type Food Product” are naming requirements used to clearly identify products that are modified due to added emulsifiers etc... People like to argue…

The generic term “meat” on its own does indeed require some form of qualifier to indicate its source (such as coconut meat in your example, or pork, chicken, beef etc...). The problem is, when the words Chicken, Beef, Pork etc... are used, it is expected that the meat in question is sourced from animal flesh and not…

The issue with your example is this: What is the expectation of the customer regarding the word in question [meat, in this example]? With fruit juice, is the expectation that “grape” is an indication of the source of the juice? Or that “grape” is an indication of the FLAVOR of the juice?

yes, it’s completely unsubstantiated. Some fast food items do indeed have soy or soy products in them ( such as lecithin which is an emulsifier), but to insinuate that fast food burgers are largely made of soy and not a true meat patty is misleading and rather vapid. To conflate purposely ambiguous marketing of purely…

The reason to take a picture of your exact physical cards rather than referencing a perfect scan in a database is, presumably, that you are looking to catalog your exact physical collection. A perfect scan does not capture the condition of the physical item in your possession.  A scan also doesn’t help indicate the…

I’m going to eat like I’m trying to destroy the Earth for 30 days out of pure spite. More meat for me!
