Man this one sucks. Being called at 2am to fix something once every couple of months isn't great but I can deal with it. Knowing I can be called at 2am on any day and be expected to fix something and not knowing when that will happen i

I'd be amazed if it releases in 2020 or earlier.

I picked up a pair of dumbbells recently. They take up almost no room, enable a ton of extra exercises, and can add resistance to bodyweight exercises you might already be doing. I highly recommend getting a pair to anyone looking to add a

One update broke notifications for me for like three months. The Android client is a joke.

Ha, the same thing happens to me. No idea why they think I'm a student, like you I don't have an edu email address on my account.

I've done my last two builds primarily through Microcenter. Their prices are similar to or better than other places and both times I've gotten $50 off by buying the motherboard and processor through them.

It's kind of funny how true it is. I think development shut down but there was an erotic furry Pokemon-like game in development that was pulling in like $35k a month on Patreon. There is definitely a market there.

Same, I reverted to the old UI a month ago or so but yesterday I was forced back to the new UI with no option to revert again.

I had a similar experience the last time I was in a Kmart. No employees, no other customers, empty shelves. Go to the electronics department and you'll find games for systems that were obsolete a decade ago. I don't understand how

I deleted my reddit account after they banned /r/gundeals and haven't been back since.

Minneapolis: The weather. We get everything from -30 degree weather and raging snowstorms in the winter to unbearably humid 100+ degree weather in the summer. Apart from that I don't have any serious complaints. And even though I compl

CD swapping, there's something I had forgotten about. I remember playing one of the Tex Murphy games and having to swap CDs all the time.

I'd have to look to dig up an interview link, but I'm pretty sure that's what kicked off Valve's Linux-based "Steam box" initiative several years ago. They looked at Microsoft's moves towards a curated app

I see it all the time. An article with a title like "People are outraged about [topic author wants you to be outraged about]," and then the "article" is nothing but two tweets from random people.

I've been to a few shows that have done something like this. The credit card I used to buy the ticket was used as my "ticket" to get in to the show.

You are also limited in recourse if Valve screws you over. If a retailer seriously screws me over and I'm not able to resolve the issue with them I can always resort to doing a chargeback. If I try to do a chargeback on Valve they will

My WRX has hill start assist and I love it. If you're stopped on an incline and let off the brakes it will keep them applied automatically for a moment while you give it some gas.

The average person is much better off putting their money in a whole market index fund that charges a tenth of a percent (or less) rather than a managed fund that charges 1%. The managed fund is unlikely to outperform the index fund in the

Yep, I let mine expire this summer. It would have been 50% more expensive than when I first signed up for it. If I want two day shipping I'll pay for it and it will be significantly cheaper than a Prime subscription.

I canceled my Netflix account about a year ago. Terrible UI changes, steady removal of great shows and movies (yes, I know this isn't technically their fault), and price increases made it no longer worth it to me.

A few years ago Target changed their self checkout machines to be less infuriating. It doesn't yell at you to place your item in the bagging area and then yell at you for putting an unexpected item in the bagging area. It lets you scan

"Smart speakers" are getting to be everywhere and it really makes me uncomfortable. Like if I book a hotel I now have to remember to check if one is installed so I can unplug/disable it. Or if I'm at someone's house

Expand that to the entire Twin Cities area and prices fall even more. I bought a two bedroom condo in a suburb 20 minutes from downtown Minneapolis for $80k last year. When I was renting a three bedroom two bathroom house house in a nice ar

Sure, I'm not saying these private companies should be forced to do business with someone like Alex Jones. But maybe some of these services shouldn't just be controlled by private companies. I'm kind of surprised that a gover

It is kind of scary how someone can be "blackballed" from the internet. All of your social media accounts get deleted so you move to your own website. Until the hosting company decides they don't want to do business with you

Who would I go to instead? I have no idea if my current bank buried a line somewhere in the terms of service I agreed to that allows them to sell my account information to third parties. If I wanted to move to a different bank I'm not

I've started using youtube-dl to download videos and watch them locally. It isn't perfect but at least I don't have to see what terrible videos Google thinks I want to watch (or which terrible videos are "trending")
