I enjoy euro board games, and strategy video games, but Twilight Struggle was just too much. You spend hours figuring out all the rules, then hours to play a game that never gets exciting. I'm sure after memorizing the hundreds of rules, cards, actions, etc you can come up with some strategy but until then there is too much chance limiting your possible strategies. I'm truly baffled at how this is the highest rated game on BGG.

Clearly y'all haven't been passed hash before...

I'm been a victim of pass the hash attack... they can fuck you up pretty up pretty good.

It will be another nail in TV's coffin.

Well, you're not missing something in the fact that it's BS. The concept of trickle down economics is that the rich will take that extra tax money and create jobs with said money. The reality is they just use that money to bribe their way into more money via lobbying for tax breaks, etc. I'm reminded of the Dave Chapelle sketch where the US gov't gives all the black people in the country reparations money. They then go out and spend it all on cars, cloths, electronics, etc which stimulates the economy. A hilarious, over simplified, and racist sketch but still some major truth is in there none the less. If the republicrates wanted to stimulate the economy they would help the poorest people financially.

I realized my misuse of "there" as soon as I hit post... Think I'm more of a speaker than a writer. I should proof read my posts more.

I could be a little off in my years too, maybe it was more 2004-2007.

That's crappy Danomac. I build hundreds of machines with OCZ ram in 2006-2009 and only had 4-6 bad sticks... which were all in one batch. Sounds like there QA went to shit.

Don't know if they expanded to quickly or just couldn't compete with the big boys. There RAM was fantastic and I believe they were the first to offer modular power supplies. There SSD's lacked the quality control that they had in the past with memory, dunno if this was what ruined them or just another nail in the coffin.

Gross negligence on behalf of the tech staff. Disabling ports and drives is basic level security stuff.

If MS hasn't completely lost any chance of being a player in the smartphone game then they will need a concise and clever plan to stay around. Any such plan would require a flagship phone, something they have been promising since the dawn of WP7 yet haven't been able to deliver.

Apple and Google offer two polarized but lacking solutions. MS has a chance to be the innovator, the smaller more nimble company that can react in ways A and G are to tied down in the mobile market to deliver.
If MS can pull it off and deliver something to really draw people into their ecosystem it'll be a better mobile world for it, however unlikely that may be.

I'd be surprised if this hasn't been happening for some time. Everything else has been KIRFed, look at the variety of cheap crappy aftermarket car parts on eBay.

Solar powered EV charging stations sound great until you see that they're only compatible with the Tesla Model S. No other EV's, not even other Tesla's. Seriously? At least offer compatibility. Poorly played Tesla. As a result this is never gonna happen. Maybe they'll build a couple stations in LA and SF. MAYBE.
