This doesn't feel like enough to discourage others from doing this, so what's even the point? Accessory to murder is 15 months now? Someone died from this! Also, what about the cop who shot him?

Not only bigger, but inflatable rubber wheels. The small, hard rubber wheels that we used to rip when Razor Scooters were huge in the 90s were great if you didn't value your face.

Those "mostly carbs" you're referring to include a ton of fiber, which is something the diehard meat eaters desperately lack in their diet. And the "tasteless stuff like tofu" does as much to demonstrate your lack o

Same numbers and thoughts here, except swap London with NYC. The government needs to incentivize behavior that's good for everyone. Offering some incentive to businesses who allow, for instance, 1-2 days a week from home would be huge.

I work very far from my office, and on the 1-2 days a week I do go in, it's an hour and a half each way. For the wife, it's 2 full hours each way. Totally not worth it day to day, but it's a nice change of pace for the 1-2 da

With that logic, if I have only 1 star, then I make $my_whole_salary per star! I should aim to get 2 stars, that'd be a real life changer.

I 100% agree with you and also despise this frame of mind. Funny how that works! What I mean is, I do all the things (personally) that I can do - I don't eat meat or dairy, I hardly drive, I don't travel much, I work from home so

Consumption of red meat has been consistently linked to cancer, specifically of the gastrointestinal tract. The ingredients in Beyond Burgers and Impossible Burgers have not. In the short term, I consider them healthier because of that, but

I have no idea why this took me so long to realize. Must be the versions I'm used to seeing but my brain parsed `4.11` as `4.1.1`. Weird. Thanks for pointing out the obvious for those of us who missed it!

Until a 74 year old politician expands "social media site". Come on, you know how this always goes. Slippery slopes and what-not.

by geddy 7y ago
Absolutely agreed. There are plenty of things I want politicians removed from - but possibly getting fined over a website I design is absolutely ludicrous. It's like getting rid of deer coming on to your property and eating your flower

Well, to put it bluntly: I don't need to be consistent. I only want to play my physical Switch games on my Switch. I don't expect to be able to back them up. The fact that it's copy-protected and locked down and all that does

The platform you speak of did not add more DRM - the third-party (Bethesda) that developed the software did. I accept Nintendo's DRM because every single console ever within recent times has some form of DRM, be it hardware or software

by geddy 7y ago
This is exactly correct. Nintendo is the only company who I support with the current generation of consoles, and on the exceedingly rare occasion that I buy a digital game (indies, or a re-release like DOOM), I accept the DRM terms. If you

by geddy 7y ago
Of course I care about DRM, but there's not a console that exists that doesn't have a locked-down platform. I take the good with the bad - I buy very little digital games (my games are 99% physical), and when I do, they are <$1

by geddy 7y ago
This is great news, and I'm happy that the backlash worked. I was furious to find out a 20+ year old game was implemented with DRM. So much so that I requested a refund from Nintendo who notoriously does not do refunds on eShop purchas

I own so many copies of DOOM from the original release in the early 90s to practically every digital storefront out there - but the Switch was the first platform I had where I can play it portably. I ragequit and requested a refund upon see

Sure, you can over-hydrate, but when is the last time someone died from drinking too much water who hadn't also just run a marathon? Referring to a normal person who decided to up their water intake, and died later that day?

Yes, meat and meat eaters are a very big problem here. Not the only one as you pointed out, but look at is this way: - Industrial regulations will take years if not forever to be reformed to offset the damage in that sector. You also have b

Fair, but the mere mention of the phrase "climate change" is better than pretending it's some anomaly and we have no idea why. I know, I know - I don't want to soapbox here. But we're spiraling towards disaster in o

I just use one as a Plex server. Can't beat the cost of running it, which is roughly $6/year worth of electricity if I remember correctly. Previously I was running my Plex server on my gaming rig which cost a relative fortune to h

I think that's sort of the point. The irony there just adds to the article.

Right - _if_ we take better care of our planet and resources. Any idea how to enforce that in the most densely populated areas? China, perhaps? In what reality can we get 100%, heck, 10% of people on the planet to do everything a certain wa

They're also not going to stop if you _do_ pay attention to the news. The only difference is you'll still have some sanity left.
