Be careful, you might start a new birther rumor.

I feel like the flip phone should be an accessory to the screen box. It's a superior device to chatting and hanging up, just make it Bluetooth and snap into the back of the phone.

The word "pinny" pulled forth visceral memories of my middle school. Wow, impressive.

#MegatronDidNothingWrong....?

Pretty sure the goal here is to funnel more money to Trump.

I'm sure the dish is delicious. But when I go to a restaurant and I have to do work to eat to food, I always get annoyed. I'm paying for this meal so I don't have to work, dammit.

Games like Cities: Skylines are perfect for middle-aged and older dads. It fits right into things like fixing up and old car or building some wooden stuff.

But also any games for any people. I'm a 43yo dad who just got my kids interested in hotseat Mass Effect (they don't enjoy doing the combat so much).

The only problem they ever had was back in the day they overheated easily.

Very easily.

In college (early aughts), I worked as tech support for fellow students. Several times I had to take the case cover off, point a desktop fan into the case, and tell the kid he needed to get thermal paste and a better cooler (services we didn't offer).

Also, as others have said, AMD CPUs have not always been superior to Intel in performance or even value (though AMDs have almost always been cheaper). It's been a back-and-forth race for much of their history.

Has been and always will be stegosaurus. How can you not love those bone plates and spiked tail? Dude's a beast.

That said, ankylosaurus comes in at a close second. It's armor is pretty boss.

  • To-go orders get NOTHING.

My comment is entirely scoped to to-go orders; I agree with everything else you say (though I haven't used a ride share in forever).

I always tip for to-go orders in my hometown. Now my favorite places call out my name as I enter and treat me great. I've seen them replace the pizza stacked with my order with a fresh pizza right out of the oven, for example, or they've given me an extra pizza or side.

When I'm on the road, I still tip $1 for to-go orders because I know the workers are still getting a shit wage.

Granted, I'm in a financial position where I can afford to do this. But I'd love if we could get rid of the whole tipped-minimum-wage thing and just raise minimum wages across the board/enact UBI to make tipping only for exemplary service.

They won't be above it all for long!

Captchas haven't been effective at protecting important websites for years, they just keep the script kiddies away who can't afford the tools.

To be fair, keeping the script kiddies away has some good value. Whether that value outweighs all the wasted time and impact to sight/hearing impaired people is another discussion.
