I've played for about an hour and agree with your assessment. I still have it installed but I doubt I will revisit it. I've switched to South of Midnight and it's amazing. Not everyone's type of game - and certainly not…
Same with This Charming Man by The Smiths and Mary Jane's Last Dance by Tom Petty
At some point in my lifetime, the mindset switched from "I'm investing because I want to see long-term, steady growth and get regular dividends" to "I want to make as much money as possible as quickly as possible and…
I had a feeling this was going to be Kensington before I even clicked the link.
It feels like ageism is more pronounced at startups and tech companies - at least, that is my perception based on real world and online discussions. I'm 50, work at a large, established manufacturing/distribution…
I was planning to start using YTTV when sports start up again. We were using Hulu Live before and, while it wasn't terrible, I wanted to give YTTV a try. This price hike kills that option. I will go back to Hulu or,…
Not true - I replace my Android phones every 4-5 years.
There is no "in-game" gambling in Fortnite. You always know what you are spending your money on: https://www.engadget.com/2019/01/26/fortnite-pve-eliminates-...
Fortnite doesn't have lootboxes. The Save The World mode did but they recently removed them so you always know what you are buying if you decide to spend money. I'd say it's not pay-to-win either because most of the…
I don't understand why people are lamenting the lack of features on the Epic game store. I don't need forums or screen shot galleries or any of that junk from my store. I just want games. If I want to talk about a game…
Well, the NY football teams play in a New Jersey swamp so that didn't really work out for NYC either.
It sounds like a pyramid scheme to try and monetize an echo chamber.
Yep. I actually went as far as googling the Wall-E humans to see how close it was.
Not if one considers the rights of the unborn.
If that was the main factor, the divorce rate for law enforcement would likely be lower as well.
Hudson/Jenkins works well for us. We've moved all our scheduling jobs out of cron and other uglier options (like maestro) into Hudson. In addition to sending emails when things break, it can also post to our Twitter…
TIL I am old.
I remember the days when Netscape Navigator had all the market share. Get off my lawn. :)
I agree that choosing an expensive lifestyle is a consumption choice. I was just trying to make the point that it's difficult for a government to determine what basic income is "enough to live comfortably on". Those…
Unlikely. I know of a lot of people who live in New Jersey but register their auto in another state under a relative's address for cheaper insurance. I also know people who use an old address or the address of an…
Wouldn't the basic income value need to vary across regions? For example, the notion that: "Every single adult member receives a weekly payment from the state, which is enough to live comfortably on" would mean a…
AKA "Ask for the pony to get the dog".
The zipper pull tab looks like a Fox logo - like from Fox Motorsports.
I use Ubuntu for both work and home use. Chrome is the only browser I use and I never have any problems with it. I don't use sites like gmail or google docs, though, so maybe it has more to do with the sites visited…
Studies like this can be valuable and useful. However, we need to be careful to use the scientific method in interpreting results and remember that correlation does not imply causation. My main concern around studies…
