Rousey’s history has been all offense, and no difference here. She tried to play Holm’s offensive game (which Holm is better at), while Holm could sit in the pocket with her offense and only had to successfully defend against Rousey takedown attempts. Plus extra style points for executing a takedown herself (which she…

This is essentially a VR telepresence app, similar to the (very expensive) corporate telepresence systems that we use at work to have live “face to face” meetings which make it appear that the remote participants are sitting across the table from you (including accurate eyelines when people are looking at each other).

Single malt or nothing.

Agreed. And since journalism doesn’t happen happen here, everything’s fine.

They really missed an opportunity here. These should have been slightly larger, blue, and implanted under the skin in the middle of their chests.

My kids have done their own laundry since they were 5 (we helped them with putting the soap in until they were tall enough). This is why front loaders exist. They’ve also done the dishes (unload and then rinse/load stuff into the dishwasher, primarily) since they were tall enough to successfully use the kitchen sink.…

The San Diego blackout a few years ago was pretty much without incident, either. I just fired up the grill and we ate dinner outside, which I think a lot of people did.

Bob Ross = Jesus confirmed. He returns in three days...

163,000 currently watching at 4pm PST. Damn.

Ha! Get off my lawn! I’ve been working in IT *at one company* for two decades. We won’t even discuss the 5 years prior to that working in IT at other places. I’ve been in it since the days of MS-DOS and MacOS 6. Linus Torvalds was a teenager, so no Linux; it was SystemV or HP/UX for me, mostly. “The Internet” was…

That does’t work when the IT guys report to the Facilities manager, which was the case at one defense contractor I worked for 20+ years ago.

What part of “MacBook Air is not constructed to be user-serviceable” do you not understand?

I’ve definitely sunk some money into mine over the last couple of years as things have broken down around the 100k-mile mark, but my trigger for getting a new car is when the yearly cost to keep the PT fixed is greater than a new car payment. I’m still below that (and at this point I’ve fixed pretty much all the…

Blue, the same as yours. I previously had a red manual for three years, but traded that in when the turbo came out.

My ‘05 PT GT has 110,000 miles on it, and I still love driving it. People are always surprised by how much it can push you back in your seat when I go hard off the line, and how fast it will go from 60-80 when I want it to. It moves.

“Inherit The Stars” is the title of the first book in the Giants Series by James P. Hogan (which is a great series that everybody should read). You’d think another sci-fi writer would know that and avoid copying the title for his own book.

It’s 15 seconds long. As long as there is at least 15 seconds of CGI effects in the movie, they could have made this teaser trailer and not included *any* of their practical effects at all. So you have zero data upon which to form any opinion about practical effects, and certainly can’t make a statement like “tried to…

The same as your kind, no? Isn’t that the definition of “evangelical”?

I just wish that you had made it *all* the way out, instead of trading one seriously deranged mythology for just a slightly less deranged one. Maybe someday you’ll be able to truly free your mind. Good luck to you.
