That looks really cool! I’ll likely pick up a couple of the new controllers, but I’ve currently got a few mini PCs scattered around the house for gaming so I won’t need a steam machine until one of these craps out on me. But I’m very excited for the folks who will be able to get and enjoy it!

The ad gets into your brain. just like this liquid gets into this egg. Although in reality. it’s not liquid, but gamma radiation.

It’s a dopamine agonist. Impulse control issues are a possible side effect.

Cold jeans. It’s a fucking scarecrow again

If your friend’s car looks like this, check on them. When my car was that bad it’s because my mental health was in the gutter.

That last sentence is the one. Until someone comes out with a study we’re not going to know because what we see is informed by where we choose to go. I’m not generally in places where you can buy fancy coffee so I don’t see it, but I sure hear about it. If we’re only going by what I see then hardly anyone drinks coffee and people order green tea shots at an alarming rate.

You’re definitely not wrong there. There’s good coffee here but you’ve got to go out of your way to get it. I’ll have it from time to time, but I’m not a huge coffee drinker. I’m an unsweet tea guy. You know, or bourbon. I was inoculated by institutional government coffee years ago so nothing phases me.

Is it? I’m not the one downvoting here, I’m just not convinced. There’s still a lot of folks drinking drip coffee at home or at greasy spoon joints every day. Starbucks and the like is loudly popular but tons of folks still use the old drip machines or (ugh) cup/pod systems.

Your husband and I could be best friends because I also have poor hearing and can do the same thing with motorcycles with a pretty high success rate.

We can sit in the same room not talking. Then one of us will think the other said something and yell “Huh?”. The other will loudly reply “What?”. Then that’ll go on for several minutes until we both smile and nod.

This is the answer. And the C levels renting from these spaces are absolutely invested in the companies that lease the space.

I’ve seen it even more incestuous as well. CEO buys building for kids and lets other C levels get in on it. The company rents a space. Everyone at C level agrees it’s the best space because they can get a sweetheart deal on rent for the company. Company pays for space, money flows back to C Suite and CEO doesn’t have to pay for kids’ lifestyles anymore.

There’s a very nice office building like that down from me, except it’s CEOs cousin or nephew or something. It came out when they started pushing for RTO as soon as they could.

Must be nice getting C level salary, a little extra in your bonus for getting a sweetheart rental deal, and passive income from being a partial owner of the building your company rents from.

I thought at the beginning they didn’t. That was the biggest complaint I heard at the time from my bartender friends. But it’s been that way for years at the least. But there’s a good possibility it wasn’t intuitive at the time and they didn’t know they could skip.

Touchtunes figured out people were doing this kind of thing and gave bars the ability to skip songs.

Look, I said I was sorry! What do you want from me!?!

You’re allowed to be a dick at any level of fame. I’m not famous at all and I told both dudes at my show to go fuck themselves.

One box labeled “Brown when cooked properly”. Then mushrooms can go in the box with the apples and cutlets.

That’s pretty good from memory! I think you’re missing Charlie Bucket getting sliced to death when the glass elevator crashed into a window but otherwise, spot on!

I do like how you haven’t ruled it out yet.

I never thought of it like that, but I believe you’re right. He’s not just an exaggerated character for TV, he’s exaggerated because that’s the way the guy telling the story sees things.

I’m in Texas, so mine currently says “Free Porn Here”. In the past it was always some snarky bullshit. My buddy’s is “FBI Mobile Team” or something similar. I think he’s had one about the DEA in the past.

So nothing funny or clever about Wi-Fi or networking, but definitely not normal names.
