Thank god we've solved all of the other worlds problems that we can now focus on making the rich richer and the poors even more poorer. Someone should Luigi whoever setup the operation, did the arrest and signed the arrest warrants. Lets stand up for what we believe in.

Why do these people even bother to make up bullshit excuses for taking our money? Leave the "AI" part out and just announce that you're writing yourself a few checks at the taxpayers' expense.

Take what you want. Take it all! Just stop lying about it. It's not like you're fooling us anyway.

I don't know if it's because I'm finally understanding the value of a dollar and I would much rather put that money in an IRA or other investment vehicle or if it's the jew in me that believes everything has gotten too damn expensive? Either way I'm still rocking a phone from 2020, my primary MBP laptop is from 2019, my desktop I built in 2017...

People need to just stop spending money, it will straighten out our economy faster than any government policy. All prices will go back to what they were over a decade ago.

I'm doing my part! (Every time I see a window and a conveniently-nearby rock, I throw the rock at the window.)

...officials from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed to state health departments that the ongoing measles outbreak at the border of Arizona and Utah is a continuation of the explosive outbreak in West Texas...

Why are there still competent people at CDC who are able to do this? Anyone who knows anything about anything, was supposed to have been fired months ago and replaced by incompetent flunkies.

Commander Putin's orders have been very clear about completely disarming all American capability, whether it's in our health systems, military, or infrastructure. Who is the pro-American traitor in our midst, disobeying orders to destroy the USA?

If we're going to disobey Putin's orders, then won't he kill or embarrass our president? That must not be allowed to happen!!

I'm hoping this statement means the next GTA will be available for PC at the same time as the console game release. Previous PC releases always trailed a year or two behind the console release because both Microsoft and Sony would pay Rockstar to make them the first exclusive platforms for the game.

People do have dedicated gaming PC's in their living rooms. Now that every TV is HDMI / Display Port compatible and every modern video card comes with those ports, it's seamless to hook a PC up to any TV.

You can have a PC dedicated to gaming

My jaw drops, but then I split. Half of me remains smugly looking down on fuckwits, but the other half hears that Samuel Adams' Utopia, which costs about the same, is supposedly showing up in CostCos, and while I can't justify getting a bottle .. maybe I don't have to justify things.

No.

No, it would still be stupid to do.

Suck/not-suck aside, would you at least agree that it's as good as The Mandalorian?

Eyeball monster == Baby Yoda. So. Fucking. Cute.

The second movie, Aliens, also didn't have the mood of the first movie, yet was still one of the best movies ever made (IMHO! of course). I don't think the feel of the original is necessary in sequels, and might even be so hard to recreate that it's borderline hubris to try.

I'll probably watch it .. when I feel like doing nothing and thinking the presence of the xenomorph is a coincidence.

I think that is the best attitude one can take. The "domestication" of the xeno is the weakest part of this TV series, but OTOH, the inclusion of all the new monsters is part of what makes A:E so fun. The classic xeno is just one monster among many, now.

There are so many horrible ways to die. Show us more of them, Noah! ;-)

I'm a fan of the Alien franchise, but not such a fan I don't call out stupidity where it's deserved. I made it through two episodes before quitting in disgust. The outright idiocy on display in practically every scene had be wondering if the writers or director even knew the history of the Xenomorph at all.

Utter dreck, and later I understand they made the Xeno into a pet. Way to take one of the most terrifying creatures every unleashed onto the silver screen, and turn it into a puppy.

No way. This series, as well as the Predator franchise need to be buried.

Nobody wants your shitty iOS. People tolerate it on phones, because you taught them that it's ok for PCs to suck if they fit in one hand. But once the one hand constraint is lifted, people come back to their senses for some weird reason. You did too good a job of persuading people to treat phones as weird exceptions to common sense, when you should have undermined common sense itself (but that would have harmed Mac sales).

Speak for yourself, I love full sized pickup trucks.

If only it were possible. There are tons of bespoke software out there running major systems, that are win-only. I work in a gov't lab, we are windows-only and it's irritating but the software we use will not run under a VM, or WINE, it's straight win-only.

Sure, home use, Linux is there (almost) but business, at least ours, never.
