I was at a hibachi place in December and one of the managers was trying to light a candle. The lighter didn't work and he made a joke that it "must be made in China. It'll cost 25% more soon!" A guy at the table said "well you'll just need to buy one made in Pennsylvania!"

I asked him if he knew of any companies that manufactured disposable lighters in Pennsylvania, and he just said "Trump will make it happen!"

The disconnect is crazy.

I grew up on 64, but 8 Deluxe is incredible. Great variety of courses and karts, great mechanics.

Jeep sells more than twice as many vehicles per year as Dodge. They are not the "small brand."

Sure but the point is that this was fat enough to get people to come look at him at the freak show and now he's a fairly average American.

I've seen controlled burns in forests to consume fuel so it does not start a wildfire. Why burn a field like that?

So wait, I'm not just a grumpy old man who doesn't like a lot of noise, this is actually a disorder?

Honestly though it's an interesting question and I wonder if this is just the "natural state." I really started to feel it after I went RVing for a year. It's a relatively recent (in the overall span of humanity) development that people would be in groups large enough to make this be an issue.

I avoid anything with kernel level anti-cheat. It is a theoretical attack vector - if the anti-cheat were somehow compromised, you've granted it low-level access to your system so whatever payload it is injecting would have that same level of access.

Even if you only play the single player part of a game the anti-cheat will be installed and running in the background.

The issue you're highlighting is due to the different between metal and plastic. I have an Orca bottle that has a plastic lid that screws on without any rubber gasket and I end up with shreds of plastic in the bottle.

Plastic rubbing on metal leads to the plastic degrading and metal on metal does not make a good seal, so I think a rubber gasket is your only option.

To be fair this is on comic strips not funny - there is no commitment to this being funny.

Why have more data when you can crash through walls with less data?

Yeah, maybe 50 years ago but with the popularity of SUVs Jeep is dominant at Stellantis. They sell almost as many Wranglers as Dodge sells vehicles in total.

This seems like a bit of the Gru meme where you add "tank the US economy" as the last slide.

What kind of stuff is he into? My son loves simulator games like...

  • BeamNG Drive - better with a wheel but very playable on controller.
  • Snowrunner
  • American truck simulator
  • Farming simulator
  • Construction simulator
  • Lawn mowing simulator

There are a lot of good kart games on PC also, though I will say that my favorite - Sonic Racing Transformed - is much harder than Mario Kart.

Minecraft Dungeons is basically Diablo for kids.

Minecraft is good but I also like Dragon Quest Builders.

I have no way to prove it obviously but nothing in that story was made up.
