It's almost never broken. I have only been turned away for a broken machine one time ever, and McFlurries are more or less a monthly treat.

Sorry to break the internet meme, but I'm pretty sure this isn't all that common.

I don't think they're problematic, but as a slightly above average height American male, I feel like my hands skew towards the smaller side of average which makes a difference. I have no problem with the joycons attached to the console, and I'm also a big fan of the pro controller. A friend of mine who is notably much taller bought me pro-like third party joycons for Christmas and they hurt my hands to use in contrast to the OG that don't bother me at all.

Bought LG washer and dryer five years ago with an extended warranty. Didn't need it. They work great.

You might think you're being edgy and cool, but this is a nice feature unless you want 10000000 buttons on your machine for every conceivable use case.

Honestly, Republicans fucked this up for themselves. Abortion was the classic wedge issue. Single-issue voters that wanted abortion banned would come out every 2-4 years to vote for the candidate who claimed to be pro-life, who would then make a token effort then shrug when nothing changed, rinse-repeat. Now, those voters have no reason to come out and people that are actually affected negatively have EVERY reason to come out.

most of the time

Citation needed. When I worked for tips, my tips never got skimmed.

Uhh, and in the 1600s. It's in MacBeth.

What is this fanfic about fat people being bullied at the gym? This never happens.

I had the same thoughts as you, especially regarding his hosting job on the abomination that was The Man Show. He has come a long way since then and is a really good dude.

Gerrymandering has zero effect on statewide elections.

Wisconsin resident here who did not choose this guy. FRJ.

Your math is wrong. If the Celeron runs 65W at idle then it is consuming at minimum 1.56kWh a day, at a price of €0.20 per kWh you're looking at a minimum operating cost of €113.88 a year.

You didn't factor in that days have 24 hours, not one hour.

• Fresh minced garlic is easier to use and likely better, but the jarred stuff probably works fine in a pinch. I stopped making fresh ginger and used jarred for that now because it's such a pain in the ass to prep. Garlic is too easy though, I never use jarred. I see the appeal though.
• I know some people think there's an aftertaste with iodized salt. I don't have that experience. Is sea salt or kosher salt better than table salt? Maybe? There honestly isn't much of a difference unless your recipe calls for a more coarse grind, in which case you need to adjust to prevent oversalting.
• The prepackaged parmesan (which I like to call wood pulp) has a hugely inferior taste to freshly ground Parmesan. Big difference in flavor, but it also does depend on the application. Mixing a large quantity into a sauce? Yes, absolutely get fresh. Using as a garnish? Who cares?
• This is lemon juice. Chill out.

Pretty sure Gabe lives in New Zealand now. Unless I'm remembering incorrectly, he just got stuck there during COVID and then never left once restrictions were eased.

By the way, that sun is the ozone hole.

Sir... this is a Wendy's.

I can't if you don't tell me what instance it is.

Also cash feels much less personal when giving a gift.

"I know you like X, so here's a gift card to experience more of X" feels more thoughtful than "here's some green cotton, do whatever".

It has DLSS already.

Ah, yes, the IGN rating scale.

There is something to be said for the game to be hyped for YEARS and to come out being much less than what the hype seemed to imply. Running on the old and tired poorly-optimized "not Gamebryo" engine, a bunch of fetch quests punctuated by fast travel "exploration", and mostly empty procedurally-generated planets bolted in to make Todd Howard's vision of 1000 planets a hollow reality... all of that can get people feeling pretty underwhelmed with the game.

It isn't necessarily that Starfield is bad, but that it is not great, and that it continues to be pushed as some amazing experience it isn't. Sorry Todd, but I've been to some of the Wonders of the World before. I'm not going to be in awe of your virtual empty planet and the vastness of space and how beautiful it is through a computer screen. It just doesn't hit the same way that you want it to, especially in the way most gamers will experience it.

Here's the kicker, though... some parts of Starfield can become great. Fallout 76 was bad and got better when Wastelanders added NPCs, so it stands to reason they could make some sizable shifts that make the game more enjoyable.
