What's surreal is being in a security line that is so backed up that the TSA on duty decide to tell people to keep their shoes on, and they open up the old fashioned metal detector to supplement the body scanner just to get people through faster.

Straight up confirmation that none of what they do matters.

The X-Box 360 takes it for me as an overall winner. It had a great and expansive library of games, and aside the red ring of death (I never got one) it just worked.

I'd almost put the N64 as a second place contender because it has so many great games, but that controller has never been good. It might be visually iconic but it's so clunky. 3rd part controllers exist now that are more shaped for human hands and I am baffled why Nintendo didn't do that from the start.

"We do not condition interviews on acceptance of these questions, and hosts are always free to ask the questions they think will best inform their listeners," the Biden campaign told ABC News on Saturday.

face slapping intensifies

When you just got dissed by C-3P0 in 6 million forms of communication.

I was responding to your idea that the ammo might be less secure depending on where it is located. That's true, but the machine itself isn't any more unsecure than the current way ammo is stored for sale. If the machine is located in the same kinds of places as ammo is currently sold, I don't see an inherent issue.

If it's in the same locations that ammo is currently sold in, then the machine itself seems no more insecure. I suppose if a current shelf full on ammo is left on the street outside a 7-11, the ammo would also disappear.

I believe it is the part where it scans the person's face to see if it matches the ID that is being called AI. I don't know if that meets the technical definition or not, but that's what they marketing is calling AI here.

Considering ammo is currently sold by sitting openly on shelves, or maybe locked behind a plexiglass shield with the same kind of security lock used to guard shampoo, I don't see how the vending machine is easier to steal from.

It used to say that right on the card.

Is your premise that robbers will show up to a store with guns but no ammo, rip off the vending machine for ammo, and then rob the store?

The prices are probably terrible too.
