I think ME3 did a couple of things very right, most prominently the pacing and characters. You never feel like you have a moment to relax, and the game almost forces you to have this huge emotional buy in for the crew of the Normandy. I mea

Uhhh, I think you might have played a different Mass Effect 2 to everyone else - there aren't any racist terrorist groups in any Mass Effect game, unless you count the Reapers who are kind just genocidal in general. EDIT: Cerberus is x

Literally a golden pineapple, it's a gold trophy in the shape of a pineapple awarded to those who stuff something up. Good for a laugh, and also a good reminder to pay attention and try to screw up less.

First week as a network engineer, still on probation. I was given the simple task of provisioning a new VLAN onto a few switches, one of which was a fairly large and important aggregation switch. Everything was going ok, then I get to the b

Thanks for reading that and saving the rest of us the trouble. The whole "I don't want to work but I want a gajillion dollars" attitude is going to give me a brain aneurysm one day.

Honestly, I'm completely flabbergasted by this. Five backups, and NONE worked properly? Who made this? The S3 bucket was EMPTY? Has no one ever tested any of these backups? It's not just the impact, which is fairly sizeable in it&

Getting better at ops? Checking backups regularly to make sure they work is not a new thing.

Nice, thanks for the link, I was sort of hoping it would explode violently but probably good that it didn't.

I'm curious - if you take a normal Li-ion battery out of a phone (for example) and whack it with a hammer it'll put on a pretty decent and dangerous show. Can the same thing happen to a big battery? I'd imagine they wouldn&#x

They've been wrong on a number facts, and have been shown to largely ignore any corrections or feedback + they've also shown a fairly clear political agenda in the last 12 months and have been creating 'facts' that simpl

Probably because some ad agency told them it was a good idea. And also because the tweets aren't really the point of this campaign - they just want to make headlines and keep the brand name in the back of people's minds.

He's running it like a business, this looks like just about every merger I've ever been stuck in the middle of. Not entirely surprising given his background, surely?

I want to say 8, but according to the family genealogist an ancestor of mine who's family name has stayed with us to the present day, may have been born on the way over here - no one is really sure and the records are super old and not

Minority VS minorities, very important distinction to make here. Minorities as in groups of an existing population aren't inconvenienced here, a numerical minority of the 325,000 are inconvenienced.

Garbage like this is why I have never and probably will never do anything with my advertising qualification. There's nothing creative about this, the outcomes it produces are of no benefit (people will just ignore shill tweets), and it

I wonder what would happen if by some bizarre twist of fate they accidentally nuked Florida? As in, same scenario but someone forgot to take a nuclear warhead off first. Even if it was a demonstrable accident, a stupid number of people woul

So it's not really minorities at all, but entire countries that someone feels are underrepresented?

One thing that bothers me about the 2017 photo is I've seen heaps of others from the same day and it looked like there were heaps of people - not as many as Obama but way way more than what's shown in the picture. So is it just fr

So when you search for 'moz://a' you wind up hearing all about moz.com.... Old mate Randy is probably pretty stoked about this.

They've approached someone out of the blue, and offered no incentives or value over their competitor other than some arbitrary statements about how they 'just know' their service will be somehow better. This avenue of "c

Yeah right because there's a lot of skills from assembling engines that can easily be transferred over to wiping geriatric bums. Go and spend a few months doing all those jobs, then come back and re-read your post.

I could understand this for larger batteries, I'd hate to see the damage a Powerwall or something similar could do when someone lets the work experience kid do QA for a few hours.

First, you're evaluating both against the same criteria - that's comparing. Second, Uber is exactly like freelancing in a lot of ways - you get paid per job, you aren't entitled to paid leave, and running costs are your probl

Just quietly, I'm looking forward to a new form of wardriving where you hang out the window of your car with a mega phone and ask Alexa to buy expensive jewellery or sex toys.
