I think I used to use this website to try to figure out when I should go to sleep based on when I needed to wake up. I eventually stopped because I got to where I could figure out 6, 7.5, or 9 hours + 15 minutes on my own (or even 3 or 4.5 hours if I made poor decisions about when I’m going to sleep). It seemed to help.

Chicken and waffles are about as authentically southern as General Tso’s chicken is authentically Chinese.

Is that a Douglas Adams quote? That feels like Douglas Adams to me.

Y’all gives modern English the second person plural it would otherwise be missing

We did, for both games, although we didn’t play Operation much. It kind of lost its novelty fast, especially with the buzzer the TV commercials conveniently left out.

We played a lot of Mouse Trap, though. Everyone complaining about the trap not working half the time seems to have missed that that was the point. You might land in the trap zone and have one of your siblings get the chance to trap, but it wasn’t a guarantee that you’d be trapped. If it was going to work every time what was the need to even do all the building? At that point it’s just a game with an instant lose square. If the trap worked or failed you needed to reset it for the next attempt, and as part of that reset you could adjust or fix any parts that had failed. Or maybe try to subtly sabotage it again if you’re worried you might be next…

Despite including a numpad like the Intellivision controller, the GameStation Go doesn’t currently include any games from Atari’s recently purchased Intellivision library. But [YouTube reviewer who was hands-on at CES] GenXGrownUp says including those titles—alongside Atari Lynx and Jaguar games—is not “off the table yet” for the final release.

I only know of the Atari Lynx from reading about the history of Chip’s Challenge but I’d be interested in seeing that.

I only know of Kat; there are others?

I could be wrong but my impression has been a lot of 3D artists often have sculpting backgrounds or parallel interests because they carry a lot of the same general compositional principles.

Chevy Equinox? I guess it depends on what you call affordable and how long the $7500 federal tax credit survives

There was never really a need in ICE vehicles since they can primarily use waste heat from the engine.

Portal and Portal 2 are some of my all-time favorite games. They’re about the only games I enjoy watching other people play, primarily when they’re playing for the first time—it kind of lets me relive that wonder of the first play through. Going through those with my stepdaughter (only 10 at the time) not long after I married her mom was a highlight of my life and really helped us form our own bond. As we progressed through I realized that chamber 17 was going to be rather traumatic for her because she was going to absolutely love the weighted companion cube, so we stopped playing for a few days while I ordered a stuffed weighted companion cube and gave it to her right after the level. As we neared the end of the game I explained to my wife about the Cake. She owned a bakery at the time and we presented kiddo with a cake like the one seen at the end of the game when she won. We did Portal 2 as well, me watching as she played the solo campaign and then we did the co-op together. I’d highly recommend it for any parent who likes gaming to share these with your kids.

Generally in the US no. There may be certain places where it is allowed, but unless you’re very familiar with the locality’s laws on the matter or you see an official sign explicitly allowing public nudity I would recommend operating under the assumption that it is illegal.

From Fubo’s statement to Ars:

The definitive agreement that Fubo signed with Disney today will actually bring more choice to the market. As part of the deal, Fubo extended carriage agreements with Disney and also Fox, enabling Fubo to create a new Sports and Broadcast service and other genre-based content packages. Additionally, as the antitrust litigation has been settled, the Venu Sports partners can choose to launch that product if they wish. The launch of these bundles will enhance consumer choice by making available a broad set of programming offerings.

So they’ll increase competition by having Venu compete with… itself?

Maybe try a different password manager and see if its interface is easier for her to use? There are lots of options, not all of them FOSS but this might be a time to accept a well-regarded commercial solution. Or, since she has the iPhone, try using their password solution. They integrate that pretty thoroughly in their apps and OS, and I think with this year’s OS releases across the board they have turned it into more of a fully-fledged password manager with its own apps. I know very little about it, but there might be a way to integrate it with Firefox on desktop now.

I don’t think they’re even paying minimum wage; Costco is well known for above average pay for store employees.

My wife is willing to clean the remaining meat off the carcass when we’ve eaten one. She really gets our money’s worth out of those chickens, usually making stock from them as well. So far she’s been happy to do the work even in situations where she’s making something needing a lot of chicken. I think one time she actually bought two chickens and pulled the meat herself for whatever she was making, just because of the cost savings. Still, I think depending on time and her energy levels she would consider buying these packs at some point in the future.

Go for Papa Palpatine!

I think of this line regularly
