He's 47 now, so when he gets out he'll be 2/3 of the way through his own 70's show.

That comment makes me think of the X-Files episode with J. Peterman

• Update to a newer SoC; NVIDIA's latest chips at this thermal displacement are like 4x as fast + would easily run PS4 games
• Upgrade the controllers to be more reliable + feel better

That's pretty much it; the OLED model is fine as far as physical design + screen, it just needs more competitive performance and to fix the Joy-Con drift nightmare

I don’t want to pay once and own it forever, I want to pay once and then in a few years when it’s gotten buggy or incompatible or whatever I pay you some more money for an upgrade. If I use it a lot maybe I pay you more often, if I use it rarely maybe I pay less often, if I’ve got a lot of bills this month maybe I put it off a few months.

That’s really it - I’ll happily give you more money occasionally if I keep using it, but the burden of stretching that revenue so that you can make your payroll every 2 weeks ought to fall on you, not on me, and if you sit on your ass and barely make any changes for a year I shouldn’t be stuck paying you the same monthly fee while you do that.

The downside of throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks is that you end up having to clean up a whole lot of shit of the floor.

The problem is that even if this is empty bluster on Huckabee's part, some jackass is going to decide that "deciding an election by bullets" means murdering a dozen random people at his local Wal-Mart.

He looks like he's fondling the ass of a skinny invisible hooker

In addition to being good policy, this is going to be a lifeline for women in border states. (and will I suspect be much harder to police or prosecute - it's very, very difficult to hold somebody legally liable in one country for an act committed in another)

I mean it's not like you'd catch a US government official carrying around a Huawei phone either - fair is fair.

OTOH, as a prominent neo-Nazi he'll probably have a lot of friends there, both among the inmates and the guards - he's going to be the private cell / loyal underlings / anybody who messes with you gets beat up type of prisoner.

(everybody gets all inappropriately crow-y about what happens to child molesters in prison, but it's also worth pointing out when that system works the opposite way)

One thing I'd note about Canada in particular is that the current Liberal Party administration under Trudeau has gotten deeply, deeply unpopular - Conservatives have opened up a 10-point lead in opinion polling - and while their next election isn't until 2025, it's entirely possible that after that they end up with their right wing in charge.

(that being said, the current Conservative leader is both pro-abortion-rights and pro-gay-marriage, so maybe not that horrible a possibility compared to what we're dealing with in the US)

a, i, it

It's not really a Prisoner's Dilemma when one prisoner doesn't have the opportunity to flip, though - it's not like if Trump agrees to testify against Meadows they're going to reduce his sentence.

The Nuremberg Defense probably works better if the person whose orders you claim to have been following is still alive and ranting on Twitter about how they damn well were his orders and he takes credit for the whole thing.

You leave Snooki out of this

Apple's managed to become a credible player in the TV space in a few short years by, essentially, hiring some competent veteran executives to run the thing and throwing buckets of money at it; I think any sufficiently motivated big tech company could do the same thing with games.

What is root if not supervisor persevering?

One of the few things that unites judges of every political persuasion is that they really, really hate it when people disobey court orders.
