Got a board a year ago and love it, a friend tried it once and bought a board too. I'm tempted to get one delivered to my parents and in-laws, so we can all play when I go out to visit. It's so simple to teach, and yet there'

The questions are meant to be asked of yourself, unless I'm mistaken. So I'm not really sure what you mean about "the person who asked it". I would speculate that the point of the question is that "diversity",

If you think that separating the two wasn't an intentional move to allow for one to pass but not the other, I've got a bridge to sell you. Congress combines unrelated items all the time, if they had to vote to prevent the strike,

Exactly this. For a couple of years, I was onboard with streaming. It was convenient and frictionless. But now I find myself having to search google to find out which service a movie/show is on, only to find its on none of the ones I h

Not getting into the rest of it, but the reason the "pinch to zoom" discussion is important is that the piece of video they are attempting to zoom in on is the one the prosecution's final gambit hinges on. As the self-defense

I always found it very silly that that post was so widely circulated with the phrase "if you find yourself being brutalized by one of these". Yes, Spot Mini, the brutal enforcer. That's the best application of a $75k+ platfor

I believe you can add "suggest_activity_tweet" to your muted words under Privacy and Safety. I'm fairly certain this still works.

"So obviously in that case there was foul play." Correct, and the events that user described is exactly what happened to Jeffery Epstein, and yet somehow we have no public information about who is responsible, and the official sto

From your original comment I assumed you actually would want to know how to do it, I see now it was simply whining. edit: sorry, this came off more aggressive than I intended. I just meant that I thought you were looking for a solution, but

They already tried, it flopped and they killed off the feature. PC gamers already own games through Steam, no one wants to have to split their library if they can avoid it.

Right-click the server icon, select "notifications settings", press "Mute <server name>". When it asks how long, select "until I turn it back on". This will kill the white dot unless you're mentioned

I got their wireless one recently and everyone I regularly use it to talk to immediately noticed the quality and commented on it. Can't speak to the wired ones.

So far no meaningful action has been taken that indicates he's particularly concerned. He's focused on trying to reopen schools, last I heard. Some people have argued that the vaccinations are evidence of his success regarding Cov

Eventually we all have to die of something. Evolution does a great job optimizing for protecting us against ailments that kill us before breeding age, but a pretty crap job of keeping us safe from things that kill us in old age. Cancer is

It isn't entitlement for consumers to look at a company saying "you can buy this game, but only on our own launcher/storefront" and say "okay, then I won't buy it". Users don't like juggling Steam, Or

None of their animated films have been "improved upon" by the live-action (or in The Lion King's case, """"live-action"""") versions. Most have lost something to the constraints of look

People always act as though companies are somehow entitled to highly effective advertising. I'd prefer a return to those obnoxious ads, they were low-tech and everyone learned to ignore them.

That argument doesn't really hold up when Facebook literally serves the ads. In the metaphor you're suggesting, this would make Facebook the one wielding the gun, and companies buying ads would be whoever hired them to do the job.

Given the success (inasmuch as one can call it that) they've had with drones, why bother with mounting a gun on a robot that can barely run for longer than an hour? Wouldn't a remotely-piloted/autonomous vehicle with guns mou

I joke about this a lot, but if anything is a sign of the state of journalism, its "Twitter is outraged" articles, which consist of a "journalist" finding 2-3 tweets that agree with their stance and have moderate to high

Have you been to China? Have you ever been outside the city in China? I assure you, they have not "eliminated" poverty. edit: Was curious, now I see the commenter above's account is only 3 months old, and exclusively comments

As a counter-example, all of my friends who are playing/talking about the game spent the first several days after its release playing the game in all of their offtime (including some taking the day of release off) and haven't real

Yes, they could. Funny you mention this, because an effort to purchase tickets to a high-profile campaign rally for Trump (and not attend, in an effort to make his rally look poorly attended) was conceived and organized through Tik-Tok. Not

Youtube Music's handling of my uploaded music is really poor compared to GPM (sectioned off from everything else), so that alone was enough to make me dump my subscription when GPM was shut down. Now I run my own Plex server on a Raspb

Sure, on average MOST people stream but claiming "Nobody" downloads music files anymore is just flat wrong. Bandcamp clearly isn't interested in competing with Spotify as an app for streaming (and as a frequent buyer from BC,

I voted against that proposal re: "resiliency, equity, and diversity", largely because of how pious and hilariously vague it was. Assuming they actually did anything at all, it take the form of Chicago hiring some expensive divers

I've found during quarantine that the elimination of my commute and the ability to do chores during time I'd otherwise spend on a mid-work mental break has really helped me feel happier with the work I'm doing. Laundry and di

Not sure if the story has fully made the rounds, but there was a whole panic during all this rioting about a kidnapping that took place. The police had just fled from the police station, and suddenly the same people who were burning down th
