Meh, the best way to play RDR was back in May 2014 on an Xbox 360.

Remake RDR1 in the sequel's engine you lazy bastards.

An improperly wall-mounted LCD isn't a huge falling threat unless there's a child or pet under it though.

I would expect most injuries from tube tvs would be muscle related from lifting them, with the occasional severe shock from those who were brave enough to open them up for repairs but not smart enough to discharge them properly.

You beat me to it, because I was looking for evidence to support the dick pics thing. I can't find any source I would be comfortable vouching for. Just a grain of salt there.

That pic was taken at the Dorton arena in Raleigh. I used to go there as a kid to watch minor league hockey games. Now it's used for livestock shows and the like.

Dunno about TN, but in NC, a Weapon of Mass Destruction is a legal term referring to anything designed to harm more than one person simultaneously.

This led, for example, to a local headline about a man holding up a bank with a WMD because he used a sawn-off shotgun.

I don't think he's complaining about movie trailers. He's talking about the Coca Cola and 12 year old M&Ms advertisements that run for 10 minutes BEFORE the theater plug and trailers start.

When I went to see Deadpool and Wolverine, I think the projector fucked up and we had to watch the ad loop twice. When the movie finally started 25 minutes late, people cheered just to see the Marvel logo

Dresden Codak? Jesus. That is a comic that I haven't thought about in so many years. Now I have to figure out where the hell I left off so I can catch up

For the Thumbs Ups! Think of how many other porters used and appreciated your highways!

I like it so that the USB C will last longer. At least in theory.

It's more than theory in my experience. I had a OnePlus 5 and lint completely ruined the USB-C port. I could spend 10 minutes trying to dig stuff out and get the cable right for it to establish a charge before I finally gave up and upgraded. It's why I'm not AS annoyed that the wireless charging add-on takes up the port. As long as it's also keeping debris out of the port (and the rest of the phone continues to run well) I'll live with it.

The phone or the OS? Hardware wise, my only gripe is the lack of wireless charging. I use an aftermarket plug to add it, but it doesn't put the charge pad quite in the right place, so I sometimes have to put it upside down. It also means the USB-C port is always occupied. That isn't a huge deal for me as I like to use plugs to keep dust out anyway

Software wise, I'm still running regular Android. I don't like that there's no Gallery app. You have to use Google Photos. That coupled with the fact that .nomedia files don't seem to work mean that the app shows ALL photos on your phone, including some you might want to keep private.

Other than that though, I'm pretty happy with it. Just upgraded mine to 15.

I think it's a roundabout attempt to get us to wonder what the fuck Kick is. I'm not that curious.

Yeah, I stayed with my parents for a few months while I was house hunting and being limited to Level 1 charging was challenging. I couldn't recover a full commute's worth of charge overnight and would start each day with progressively less charge, so I'd have to swing by a L3 charger once a week or so. Still cheaper than gas though.

 

It’s time to talk about something Star Wars has been avoiding for some time: recasting its original trilogy characters. There have long been calls for the likes of Luke Skywalker to be portrayed by new actors (Sebastian Stan, anyone?) but it has, by and large, been something that the franchise hasn’t needed to properly confront – until now.

 

From Steam's self-published stats.

Baldur's Gate 3 could not be preloaded and weighed in at 125 gigabytes on disk, so when the game left Early Access at 11am US Eastern yesterday, Steam's bandwidth utilization shot up 8x over a span of 30 minutes. I know personally, I saw my download hit over 600 Mbps across a 1 Gbps fiber connection.

Kudos to the system engineers at Valve. It is mind-boggling that they have built infrastructure that robust.
