It's a shit situation either way. I want to vote for someone who best represents me, but that leaves the possibility for the party that I don't agree with to win. I could vote strategically to keep them out, but the opposing party has no desire to change the system, so I'm kicking the can and furthering a two party system. It's almost always going to be a back and forth between the two main players, neither of whom wants change.

Are we going to ask candidates to step down in every election?

I learned a lot from watching the original Japanese Iron Chef. You're not learning recipes of any sort. What I learned were techniques and that it's okay to experiment and be creative in the kitchen. For day to day meals, it works pretty well when trying to come up with meal ideas based on what's on sale at the grocery store. If I want to try making something specific, that's when I search for recipes.

I don't have thoughts one way or the other. It's an interesting post, there's a good chance it's fake. I can't say I care all that much. There are certainly people with kids who would move their parent into a home and take control of the money from selling their house, so it's not completely out of the realm of possibility.

He looks pretty capable just going by these pics. Why spend money putting him in a home? Throwing money away. Fuck his kids, I guess.

I've been using a Corne for over a year. The halves are close enough that I can move my non-mousing hand to the other half. I like the split primarily for a more comfortable typing angle rather than a wider stance.

Not bringing the razor handle is a good idea. My shaving needs are minimal so that would work for me.

True, but at that point I suspended my disbelief. Hollywood movie needs Hollywood ending.

I felt the same way, that this was another overhyped Hollywood circle jerk, but it was pretty good. At a surface level the story isn't anything amazing. The action sequences were good but nothing revolutionary. For me it was the acting and the core of the story, which to me was about relationships, making the best of your choices, and kindness to others and yourself. For some reason the kindness part really hit me. How they represented it was cheesy as hell, but that didn't stop me from taking that to heart.

So Pixel phones don't support DP alt mode via USB-C, and Samsung phones don't support Chromecast. Are they holding back these features for when they run out of ideas to sell new phones? I can't think of any technical reason why we can't have both.

Ubisoft might tell you that the game is already registered and won't let you register it again, even with a new Ubi account. I would assume the scenario where the customer gets screwed is the default.

As usual, the fines are not anywhere near proportional to the value received. As long as you have money you can do whatever the fuck you want.

Pretty much. Similarly, "passion" can be translated to "willing to work unpaid hours and/or low wages". As if the main reason I work isn't for the paycheque.
