  • Tell him that impersonating a police officer is a serious crime.

  • Many places have ways to drop off a bit of e-waste for free. In my area electronics manufacturers who sell their products in the state have to facilitate free recycling of e-waste. In practice this means pretty much any large electronics shop has a bin somewhere you can freely leave stuff to get recycled.

  • Because you can.

  • And in all likelihood forcing your fingerprint or face unlock is perfectly legally acceptable for them to do. A password or a code is something they'd have to force you to say and ultimately you can choose not to (though they're still fine to just try and hack out a pin/pattern on their own, or use phone-cracking tools or backdoors) but you have no defense whatsoever against your biometrics being used.

  • This is exactly why allowing .zip as a gTLD was such a damn stupid move.

  • Totally agree on the music. Bopping in my seat to the game's tunes for one last stretch can be a nice victory lap.

  • Blu-ray was launched 19 years ago.

  • I always sit through credits in movies and most TV if I've enjoyed it, games are no different. I like acknowledging the folks who make the things I enjoy.

    There's also the chance of some post-credits plot material or other good stuff. I found myself absorbed way into the plot of the first Metal Gear Solid game and I'll never forget the surprise phone conversation which played after those credits, or the absolute chill the final two words of it sent up my spine. (The somewhat underwhelming ways in which that particular plot reveal was taken up in the subsequent games notwithstanding.)

  • I suppose their username checks out.

  • Yep. I'm a reasonably masculine-presenting guy and most good movies or shows will make me tear up at some point, it's a standard occurrence if the story has grabbed me in any satisfying way and brought me on the resulting emotional highs and/or lows.

    We joke around about it in my household because my wife is a mostly femme-presenting woman, but she generally doesn't tear up at films or shows while I'm next to her having what old stereotypes would say is the girly reaction. It's not that she isn't experiencing the story as fully or anything, she can be enjoying something just as much as I and the emotional reaction just affects us differently because (gasp!) we're two different people.

  • Before I put anything on, I need you to explain to me how you have an empty top and skirt which are laying naturally flat but a pair of empty socks which are somehow shaped like there are legs in them.

  • A pair of buttons forcing you to choose Yes or Maybe later. The word is NO, assholes!

    I want to find the marketing genius who started that shit and ask them, "do you want me to whomp you over the head with a rusty manure shovel? Yes or Maybe later?"

  • And keep it going whenever you see that person again. "Hey, aren't you that watch guy? Are you wearing the watch today? Where's the watch? Show us your watch!"

  • From the article:

    Aida said the new material is as strong as petroleum-based plastics but breaks down into its original components when exposed to salt. Those components can then be further processed by naturally occurring bacteria, thereby avoiding generating microplastics that can harm aquatic life and enter the food chain.

    As salt is also present in soil, a piece about five centimetres (two inches) in size disintegrates on land after over 200 hours, he added.

    The material can be used like regular plastic when coated, and the team are focusing their current research on the best coating methods, Aida said. The plastic is non-toxic, non-flammable, and does not emit carbon dioxide, he added.

    So I think the next thing the goose wants to know is, what's it being coated with?
