And yet it still has a bunch of ads for PC+ littered throughout it. Despite being grandfathered in, I abandoned it earlier this year for Podcast Republic, which hasn’t spammed me or locked me out of any features I’ve tried to play with despite not having paid them anything.
Honestly, I’d take a woody window to replace the clear glass overlooking the scenic parking lot outside literally any of the apartments I’ve ever lived in.
Holy shit, someone that actually likes that aural abomination?
Are you the reason it won’t fucking die?
Hahahahahaahahahaahahahahahahaha
Land of the Free, folks
Just add degrees to any ol’ unit. It’s fine. Unit multiplication isn’t implied, I promise!
I just biked 25 degrees kilometre!
Self checkouts tend to have a hand scanner too
I’m going to guess that this is regional or vendor specific, because I’ve literally never seen a self-checkout with a hand scanner. And if I ever did, I would expect it to transform into a broken, dangling cable within a few months.
Meanwhile, stores all but stop manning existing checkouts, forcing everyone to line up to check out their own stuff.
In business, all data are vanity metrics. If they make you look good, you slap that shit on everything; if they make you look bad, you “don’t have it”.
It’s just that sometimes you can use negative data to make decisions that look good to those above you, and sometimes you know that you can’t.
I think I’ve reached the point where no one will be able to convince me that Star Citizen is not a money laundering front.
It’s the word of the day every day they be doing war crimes.
Not only is it impossible to evacuate that many people in that short a time, but they’re basically declaring that they’re going to use their military to targer and kill civilians.
Which is a war crime.
“Hamas did it first” doesn’t give them a pass here. If it’s not ok for Hamas, it’s not ok for the Israeli state. And inverting that, if it is ok for the Israeli state…
their value comes from them being relevant
The news’s value should be to society, though, not shareholders?
Just another episode of Pog & Dar: Cop Landlords
This is really good!
One thing that stands out to me on the reverse view - other than the Roger Rabbit tire, of course - is the shame of the roof as you move toward the front. The front view seems to suggest the slope comes down to be almost parallel with the ground, while the reverse view suggests it points up like 20 degrees. I don’t know which is ground truth for this model car, but I suspect it comes close to parallel with the ground.
I can see where it looks like you made changes to the front height of the drivers side window. It’s possible you went a millimetre too high or so there.
But that’s just nitpicking. Again, it’s a really great sketch.

Edit: You’d think I’d know to check what autocorrect does to what I type by now.
I’m not sure why you’re pulling drinking straws and shopping bags into this. The move away from plastic straws and bags has nothing to do with arguments around carbon. That’s all about sea life, microplastics, and single use plastics.
You’re just injecting “Fuck the turtles in particular” into this for seemingly no reason at all.
Funny, I thought the Red River drained into Fargo.
Yeah, I’m wounded by the commission omission of Cape Breton. But I think it’s just that there’s nothing dubious about our islands.
Edit: Sausage fingers and rogue autocorrect.
People spending more time with fewer games is not a reason, in publishers’ minds, to reverse course. It’s the intended outcome.
Having the same number of people (or near the same number) playing fewer games, and filling those games with monetization features is cheaper and easier to maintain than having a broad and growing library of titles.
Remember, the ideal for publishers is to have one game that everyone plays that has no content outside of a “spend money” button that players hit over and over again. That’s the cheapest product they can put out, and it gives them all the money. They’re all seeking everything-for-nothing relationships with customers.
Yeah. The Bidens are safe. The assailant is under arrest. Nobody’s dog got shot.
It’s obvious why this is a confusing outcome.
