It's impressive (or possibly sad) how well the joke has held up.

I agree, Google got rich by having the best product. Now they are staying rich because people will stick with the default as long as there isn't a head-and-shoulders about the rest better option.

I suspect just one, of course the changes will be focused on providing more security for HOA boards.

>The reason people like them, I've heard, is they help keep the value of your property high. I'm starting to feel like treating homes like a investment that will continue to accumulate value instead of a place to live that ever

Yeah, the only times I've heard people talk about having to pay for using the minibar it one of two stories, either; 'I was drunk and just wanted something to snack on' or 'I left my kids unattended in the room for a hal

Yeah, also 'Normal people don’t go through reviews like they used to.' No kidding, normal people don't spend a hour reading reviews before they decide to watch a 90 minute movie on the streaming service of their choice.

I would think they are kept in check the same way the upper middle class is kept in check pretty much everywhere in the world. They live a very comfortable life style and have no interest in doing anything that would jeopardize that.

My dad is having heart surgery performed next month. Thankfully it should not be to bad because they managed to catch the issues early on, but these issues were only discovered because my dad is somewhat active and noticed a dramatic decrea

That was my first thought when I read this. My highly cynical take would be endorsing this they could then pivot to being a full on advocate, and then tailor laws to benefit themselves and hurt their rivals. The low cynical take is they rea

It's definitely a rip off. I'm working on a new type of child car seat that I believe will take the market by storm. Guaranteed to be reusable after every crash. My plan to achieve this is by design the seat so that the force of t

I think 'Tony Stark complex' would be more appropriate. Feels like these people watched Ironman 2 and imagine themselves in Tony's shoes as he address congress.

By hiring their biggest fans they're guaranteed to produce a product that their biggest fans will love. Everyone maybe not so much but their biggest fans will love it.

There isn't anything to add. They surveyed people and found that people dislike switching from having a flexible schedule to a traditional one as much as experiencing a 2-3% pay cut. Through I agree, if most people did do a bit of math

When the apocalypse happens and Sam Bankman-Fried and his EA friends aren't around to lead the reconstruction efforts then I bet you'll feel foolish. /s

Ha, I wish. The level of comfort with someone really only effects the rate of energy drain, at least in my case.

Depends, taking up exercise to improve your health isn't necessarily, but believing that you need to take up a specific exercise is a strong indication that your cargo culting.

It did without a doubt, but that same game was also available for the Wii U, which was easier to find and costed significantly less than the Switch. Having a killer app helped generate interest, but people actually liking the gimmick is ult

The Vita was a great handheld, my only two complaints about it is they went with a expansive Sony memory format instead of SD card, and they did not include the ability to output to TV like the PSP Go had. Incidentally I was not surprised a
