I'm not engaging these people, it's just funny.

It's analogous to people looking at Free Republic posts, but without the racism and hatred of everyone who isn't a white man. Instead, it's just morons who speculate on their gut and who think that A/B testing has serious methodology flaws compared to baseless speculation. (note: I use to regularly read the Freep thread and it actually made me concerned for my mental well-being, so I stopped reading it)

Surely I can't be the only person who thinks the Nexus 6 is just too big and too expensive? I'm eligible for an upgrade right now and I was kind of holding off to see what the 5's replacement would be, but now I'm thinking I'm just going to get a 5 instead.

I'll only buy the Nexus 6 if it has a Voight-Kampff app.

I'm kind of afraid to ask, but what the gently caress is game gate.

A female video game developer broke up with her boyfriend who worked at the Gawker gaming site Kotaku. A bunch of nerds, including her ex, decided to be misogynistic assholes to her and Anita Sarkeesian under the guise of wanting to make sure that """""games journalism"""" isn't a corrupt shitshow. This is extremely germane because her one game that she's made is a free-to-play game that she released a year before ever meeting the editor at Kotaku, and she was clearly manipulating for getting a good review... on a game that he never reviewed... that's free anyways... because... reasons?

Anyways, it's difficult for a nonzero number of the population to treat women like people.

That's the least if its worries.

Edit: To be fair, though, the 20" wheels are an option and the brakes are augmented by regenerative, right?

It looks ridiculous. There's one at the local Street Survival since it's a BMWCCA co-sponsored event. They look like those awful aggressive cartoon car drawings; all wheel, no body.

No name = no buy. Learned that lesson when a no-name that came with a case I bought proceeded to nuke a motherboard, stick of RAM, and a network card all in one go. Shot little bits of MOSFET case plastic all over when they grenaded, too.

Buy a T or X series Lenovo and buy your own SSD. It's not hard to get a 20 or 25% coupon, or you can buy second hand.

If you're using a Windows or Linux laptop, Lenovo business laptops are pretty solid. Dell makes nice hardware, but you need to make sure that you're buying a business/enterprise laptop. If you're dealing with consumer poo poo, it's a mess.

Picked up the car right down the street from the Panoz factory, trailered it home, and then immediately took it to a rallycross.

Would anyone be interested in a Chump build out thread/general "this is what's going on in Phone's life" thread? The Miata is on the back burner because I don't particularly want to blow like another 10k on it (whenever the current motor gives up the ghost, I'm K swapping it, but that's a bit far out).

If you come up to Wintergreen this winter let me know, we can grab some beers at one of the awesome breweries at the base of the mountain. Hell depending on which way you take up you'll almost drive right past my house.

I don't think I went last year, but I think I go up 501 through South Boston, Rustburg (stop for Hardee's), and up 29.

I'm down.

Posting from a mechanical room with a broken door latch. I didn't discover this until I was inside the room, so now I'm stuck in this elevator control/steam room. Honestly, I'm surprised this is the first time it's happened since I started this job.
