Hey, he’s like, just this guy, you know?
I was part of the hardcore build it yourself crew for years and years, but I find now that for the last 10 years or so now, and especially with the death of places like Fry’s and all the bullshit Newegg pulled, it’s way easier and cheaper to buy a pre-built box that’s maybe 90-95% there, then tweak what you need to tweak.
Get that manufacturers warranty and forget trying to part it out yourself.
$3,500 here.
“I demand summary judgement!”
“GRANTED!”
“No… not like that…”
IIRC this is the case where his lawyers neglected to ask for a jury trial, so it’s all on the judge and he IS NOT having it…
Found liable for sexual assault and defamation in civil court isn’t quite the same as “convicted sex offender” in criminal court.
For example, he doesn’t (yet) have to join a sex offender registry.
Sounds like someone wasn’t able to ship product and had their licensing pulled…
Hilarious that it even embedded the tweet so you can see it’s not an accurate quote.
Bad enough when humans do it, adding nothing.
Weird choice of graphic. Why flip the US and place it on the left?
The Chinese map isn’t flipped, so it’s not a case of the entire graphic being mirrored…
“Gaming”
“Sub $1,000”
My gut reaction is “choose one”.
You might be able to get a gaming laptop under $1K but get ready to replace it in 2 years.
Can you imagine Beyonce? They would need new servers.
Aha! Makes sense!
26th? I thought it was the 21st?
This is immediately obvious to anyone who followed the timeline of events.
Removing Shokin didn’t STOP the Burisma investigation. It allowed it to move forward! Shokin was the guy slow-walking it.

Lost me at “the first consumer product we’re aware of to use nitinol”.
There were nitinol eyeglass frames back in the 1980s.
Looked at it and went “Eh, could be interesting, but I don’t buy EA games and it will be $20 at Black Friday.”
Wow, I totally missed that…
“these details did not resurface in media coverage of the couple during their successful joint career as authors, only returning to public attention several years after both had died.”
She died in 2007, he died in 2009.
The David Eddings books are excellent.
Reading reviews of the pictured model, apparently they sounded like crap?
I mean, they’re beautiful, and the magnet attached mic is inspired, but if they sound like garbage what’s the point?
Library is live as of 9/9, and the first two books have gone out into the wild!
Both non-fiction.
The Man Who Mistook His Wife For a Hat - Oliver Sacks

Maus - Art Spiegelman - Pulitzer Prize winner

Both excellent choices!
Oregonian here. 110 has been an absolute disaster. The intent was good, legalize the drugs and incentivize treatment. You get busted with drugs it’s a $100 fine, and that fine is waived if you seek treatment…
You don’t even have to GET treatment, you just have to call a toll free number and ask about treatment options.
The first year, just over 16,000 people were ticketed. Less than 1% opted to ask about treatment.
Meanwhile every no-account addict is rolling to Oregon, Honduran gangs are operating in our streets with impunity 2-3 blocks from the police HQ, theft is up, property crime is up, and the only “harm reduction” portions of 110 that ARE actually being used are free needle exchanges and Narcan distribution.
Fire Station #1 stated they did 76 overdose calls on Labor Day weekend:
“In some cases we treat the same patient in the same week. And we know through our partners of AMR (ambulance service), that the same patient has overdosed multiple times in a day,” says Friedericks. “I know that even when we try to help, our help is unwanted, wares on all of us.”
+1 for the Dark Tower books.
But I’d note, there’s a dramatic tonal shift between the first half and the last half.
After book 4, you lose the flashbacks to Roland’s youth and it’s a straight through narrative for books 5, 6 and 7.
I think the accident that almost killed him put the fear of god in him.
