Based on what's still around, likely the one (now rebranded a Star Market, same holding company) in Porter Square, right by Porter Square station. Based on what I recall, I believe there was one on the southeastern end of Green Stree

Possible outcome: Gray goo scenario ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gray_goo ) A recent "popular culture" reference to the scenario mentioned in the article is the video game, "Horizon: Zero Dawn."

Agreed. For anyone thinking the above comment might be mean spirited, here's why it's not: * In 2017, there were ~1,108,400 US high school football players. * In 2017, there were ~67,800 US college football players. * In 2017, 25

Not California, but recently I had "SIXSPD" denied by a state after putting the first known 6-speed manual (all were sold as dual-clutch automatics) in an enthusiast car. I was told that abbreviations weren't allowed. That

I got that wrong. “You know what they call the Hunger Games in France? Battle Royale with Cheese.” Too many things going on, typed it in backwards!

You know what they call Battle Royale in France? Hunger Games with Cheese. I saw Battle Royale as a subbed bootleg around 20 years ago. Fantastic B-movie, and I understand some of the young actors got some notable roles as they got older

mspt was consistently ~20msec. It’s why the rubber banding surprised me: everything was great until it wasn’t. Realm of the Mad God will make your game seem “comfy speed” by comparison. You’ve not yet seen fast. ;)

Simple and fun. In my very first game I got to Rank 6 with 24K points. However, there's some cases where the client and server get out of sync (despite only supposed 10-20ms latency) where the server eventually syncs you with some w

Yes, Boston is considered the educational capital of the planet. Boston itself is about 700,000 people, but if you extend things to a 20 mile radius from Boston (say from DTX), in that area there is a transient student population of 400,000

>Potentially it's items that move very very low volume but provide significant value by being available? That doesn't matter, and exactly why corporate brought it up. Again, opportunity cost. I asked my nearest 7-Eleven mana

What was more surprising to me is the realization by corporate that 40% of the in-store SKUs in their US stores (in a given location) only sold through 1 or fewer units per month. That means if a franchise store got shipped a box of 12 u

Not where I am. At my local Home Depot, all the staffed registers are long unavailable, with the exception of one in the "pro" section. There are self-checkout registers... but they're all manned by Home Depot Employees. No

This is like learning that there actually 1000 tiny elves inside of your television drawing the pictures. This a real-life, genuine Flintstones-esque cartoon gag.

I agree the math is a bit off, so let's look at the percentages. The current Toyota Corolla, in 3-box sedan form, starts at 119,800 RMB in China. The BYD Qin is also a 3-box sedan, similar dimensions, but starts at 109,800 RMB, or 8.4

The most expensive ($8.09) in Lee, MA is in a highway rest stop plaza about 110 miles west of Boston near the state’s western border (just outside the Berkshires) that is well known for its crazy prices. You buy anything in that pl

"UniversalHub" is a play on the old shtick that Boston is the "Hub of the Universe." As a Bostonian, it's a reasonably well known local news blog run primarily by one individual (Adam Gaffin) that yes, does report

Ubiquiti's U7-Pro has not only already launched, but mine was delivered a few hours ago. There's already reviews up (including YouTube) as well. If you want MU-MIMO (so 4x4 or more) , I'd expect the U7-Enterprise later th

I'd give it a few months. Both laptops (sans Apple) and desktop PCs (even USFFs) tend to use the NGFF M2.2230 form factor cards, typically with two antenna connectors. Yes, even your super fancy high-end desktop PC motherboard ulti

My point wasn't that Twitch should be given the money for no reason, but that Twitch is foolish for not finding ways to be the platform in which people want to pay the money through, instead of the third-party platforms. Donations

I honestly wonder how the softcore content works out in terms of impacting Twitch's balance sheet. I'm not interested in it, but I'm not against it. Yet I genuinely question how it works in Twitch's favor in any materia

There are reasons for folks to wait for the PRO. * First are the EPYC memory protection features. No other Ryzen SKU has them. I actually care about these protection and isolation features. * Second are the GE variants. Think similar t

As someone with four Ryzen 7 PRO 5750GEs, I’ll say I’m looking forward to whenever the Ryzen 7 PRO 8750GEs exist. :) In raw CPU performance, I found the 5750GE was 90-92% of the CPU performance of a 5700X, but capped out at a total package

Tom Scott was so sharp, he knew to end on a high note, and damn near his peak. It’s one thing to produce a lot of great content, but it’s very rare for someone to wrap it up when they clearly were still at or near their best.

Agreed! Despite being PCIe 3.0, these were perfect home server CPUs because of the integrated GPU and ECC support. The idles were a bit higher than 12th gen Intels (especially the similarly tough to find "T" and especially &q
