Why do you suppose sour candies are so popular these days? It wasn't a market when I was a kid.

  • Jolly Ranchers and Sweet Tarts were big when I was a kid.

    • Is anybody else just Not planning on gift-giving this year?

    Jump

  • It would be nice. IME Christmas is mostly for ladies and children, but I try to be diplomatic and participate.

    • Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is "by far" the "biggest and longest game that MachineGames have ever done" with nearly 4 hours of cutscenes

    Jump

  • Yay I love sitting at my computer with mouse and keyboard in hand watching my character do things. /s

    • If a word can have as many meanings as we assign to it; can we assign every meaning to one word?

    Jump

  • ACK! ACK ACK ACK ACK. ACK ACK.

    • If AI kills a bunch of tech jobs, Best Buy parking lots might look like Home Depot parking lots someday.

    Jump

  • I didn't get it either and am American.

    • After 10 years in development, No Man's sky feels half finished

    Jump

  • That's my conclusion after trying 3 times. There is no other game like NMS and I really wanted to like ir but it just never clicked with me.

    • Thanksgiving meal will cost less than last year and the year before

    Jump

  • Bad luck Biden. Finally getting economy back on track after 4 years. Right after losing reelection.

    • Child care cost as much as rent for many families at inflation’s peak, new data shows

    Jump

  • Rent is a factor probably.

    • Across the U.S., White Supremacist Incidents Have Become the Norm

    Jump

  • NPR tries to present both sides but I can tell the people running it are quite liberal.

    • What are some consumer electronics you probably shouldn't tinker with?

    Jump

  • You are doing it the hard way. You can shrink yourself down and enter the keyboard. By flying underneath the key membranes you can short out the contacts and make the keys trigger. So I've heard.

    • What are some consumer electronics you probably shouldn't tinker with?

    Jump

  • I had a problem with the control panel in my Panasonic microwave and was able to fix it pretty easily. Everything I needed to get to was inside the right front of the microwave; the control pad membrane and the sticker that goes on the front of it.

    • I'm thinking of buying a car. What is some advice? How do I maintain privacy in a modern car?

    Jump

  • Is there a way to disable the cellular antenna? Vehicle have to be prepared for dead spots. Maybe yours is always in a dead spot.

    • Passengers duct tape man who allegedly tried to open door during American Airlines flight to Texas

    Jump

  • Intent is the key, if the person had a gun they thought was loaded but actually wasn't, wouldn't it still be attempted murder if they put it to your head and pulled the trigger? Same thing with the door, they thought it would open.

    • Microsoft tries to convince Windows 10 users to buy a new PC with full-screen prompts

    Jump

  • I don't need a new motherboard. TPM got accidentally turned off and I keep forgetting to turn it back on. Darn.

    • As Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 Steam Reviews Collapse to ‘Overwhelmingly Negative,’ Dev Admits It ‘Completely Underestimated’ Excitement for the Game

    Jump

  • They probably didn't know how many players their servers could support. This was one way to find out.

    • Star Wars Outlaws is dropping 'forced stealth,' so instead of being reset when you get caught sneaking around, you can just start blasting

    Jump

  • I didn't find those sections at the beginning of the game very fun, sort of a trial by fire. I think checkpoints or a save anywhere system would have pretty much solved it though.

    IIRC the reason you were being stealthy is because the faction wasn't supposed to know you were there. If you start blasting how will that work story wise?

    • In the US, is this actually the moment past the point of no return?

    Jump

  • Could be, but we have thought that before.

    • Immigrant advocates fear Trump's policy shifts will hurt one group most: children

    Jump

  • I know a guy who was brought to the US illegally as a teen and is now in his 30s. Works as a contractor and started his own business. Truly one of the nicest and most generous people I know. Pays taxes, employs people, and does everything we do but he just isn't officially a citizen. He married an American and they have an 8 year old son who adores him. I hate thinking about the turmoil and sadness him being deported would cause his wife and son.

    • Good News!

    Jump

  • You forgot the part where there is a misunderstanding 2/3 of the way through the movie and it looks like they will break up but they get back together at the end and Christmas is saved.

    • Explicit deepfake scandal shuts down Pennsylvania school

  • Shut down for one day at least.
