My favorite lines:

So it's not $1.29 with 3 hours, it's not the $1.29 that gets triple results in 3 hours. It's the 2% of a $50 million a year budget that we gets, hour that matters. Hour.

As a G, I'm here to guide you to the best of my abilities. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride.

PI is what

Reply in thread

I get that, it's like rounding gravitational acceleration (on earth) to 10...

But why don't they just use 3, preceded by a "pi is a little more than 3, but for now we'll round down to 3."

Don't let the bad faith actors discourage you from voting!

"You hate democracy" -person who doesn't understand how FPTP in our kind of democracy isn't conducive to meaningful third-party voting without major voting reform

If you want to vote third party, then maybe make sure that it's viable first. Campaign in the long term, propose reform, gather grassroots support, etc. Simply voting third party in our current system does nothing.

If the popup menu goes away with a single click, it doesn't bother me too much. I'm okay with sites letting me know that they need donors to minimize ads, or just letting me know about cookie permissions.

My pet peeve is when they ask for your email to read a free article.

Subway sued for exaggerating meat by 200%

I just want to know why the Subways in my city are now both more expensive and less tasty/filling than any other sub/hoagie options in the area.

I don't go to subway anymore because the last footlong I bought cost me $13, no drink no chips, and was skimpy as hell. The next day I went to a deli/convenience chain and bought a $10 sandwich that was longer, fresher, and thicker.

Game Boy Advance schematics now available thanks to Reverse Engineering

Yes. There are, and it's fucking awesome because it's a space where we can say "the gender of the person who did all this great work has zero negative impact on the wonderful outcome!"

People can argue that trans actors can "feel out of place" or that trans athletes "ruin the spirit of competition." I don't agree with those perspectives, but I can see the (warped) logic behind them.

Here, there's nothing to possible complain about. Does the PCB function any differently because of who reverse engineered and recreated it? No. Should it impact one's experience gaming on this hardware? No, and if it does, said person has a problem disconnecting their personal beliefs from their objectivity.
