Dutch dominos looks incredibly cumbersome.

40 year olds instead watched a lot of Ric Flair and played a ton of punch out.

Tell that to a whippet when it’s below freezing outside.

Fucking around in the middle of nowhere is a wee bit different than downtown Saint Louis. A crowded city with America’s highest murder rate.

> While it may be intuitive that a 14-year-old has no legitimate purpose, it doesn’t actually mean that they’re going to harm someone. We don’t know that yet

Spoken like someone who hit peak intelligence at 14 and could never look back to realize how fucking dumb they were.

Such a fun car, but not for the faint of heart. Those things need lots of love to keep running.

It took me several years after puberty before I realized that I didn’t need to buy shoes with extra room.

I’m not fully convinced of that. MagSafe only phones are pure speculation, and not supported by any of the reliable people that drop Apple’s manufacturing and supply chain leaks.

Qi2 will launch at up to 15w, like MagSafe. That’s half of what an iPhone can charge at. So Qi only phones would basically be a massive downgrade for people who want fast charging.

From what I can tell, there are several dozen Jerry’s Pizzas in the world that aren’t related to the Romanian chain.

Yup. He was the Governor of CA. Lots of us have his signature on diplomas. And before that Reagan was the weird actor to have on your degree.

This isn’t even the same dog

Thank you for helping me not give twitter web traffic.

When he walks up to receive the award, Rob Schneider had better yell “you can do it” from the crowd while wearing a straw hat.

I assume this paper finally got through peer review and is being properly published. The preliminary paper was floating around 2.5 years ago.

I’m curious to see something similar for COVID. So far it looks like the states that had looser restrictions have hit their pre pandemic employment rates sooner than states with stricter mandates. For example, Texas and Florida’s employment numbers rebounded faster than California. And places like NY still aren’t back to their pre-pandemic numbers.

I’m just saying that “integrates better with windows” isn’t true. The experience for an Android / Google user on MacOS is basically the same as it is on Windows.

Buy whatever PC works best for you and your budget.

> Google integrates better with Windows.

Chrome, Drive, and all of those Google products exist on MacOS too. Google’s campus is littered with MacBooks, so it’s definitely a platform that they spend a lot of attention on. Last time I was there, literally everyone I was meeting with rolled in with a Mac. 😆

I don’t have any problems syncing my Android phone with my Mac. It’s basically exactly the same as Windows.

I’m confused about the two ecosystem comment. You’re using windows and android. That’s two? No?

Have a pic of one of the pegs?

Lumbergh is going to need Leguizamo to come in this weekend to cameo in the new Mario movie.

Are we talking about the sub 100ms lag that folks experienced when conditions were right, or are we taking about seconds when things were not ideal?

My entire point is that way too many people experienced the latter, not the former. As ISP and hosting infrastructure continues to evolve more end users will be setup for success with streaming.

Streaming may always have too much latency to make hardcore PvP players happy, but when it works well, it totally shines for games like RDR2, Cyberpunk, etc. Problem is that too many people had completely unplayable experiences.

Worked well for ME. The point is that results varied wildly for different broadband users in different locations.

As broadband continues to improve, these connectivity barriers will slowly go away for more people and a reliable streaming business will be easier to attain.

My point isn’t that latency doesn’t exist. My point is that many streaming services straight up don’t work over many broadband connections.

Yes there will always be some latency.

My point is that stadia and xCloud are downright unplayable over a lot of home connections. For example, my Xbox has a wired connection to fiber and I often can’t LOAD a Xbox cloud streaming game. I either look at the stupid rocket ship screen forever, or the game straight up freezes when it does load.

In order for streaming to stand a chance, things like data centers need to be in the right places and stuff needs to generally work if you pass the connection speed tests.

Stadia did work for me in my area. There were a couple ms of lag that made me not want to use it for PvP games, but it worked perfectly for other stuff. In order for streaming to take off streaming has to work like this for more people.

Because the technology for reliable real time video isn’t there yet. It works in some places, but even in major metro areas you can’t be guaranteed that Stadia or xCloud will have a fast end to end connection.

Of course people are going to buy dedicated hardware when the alternative is totally unreliable for half of the people that try it.

At some point broadband infrastructure will be beefy enough to reliably stream high res video in near real time. When that happens streaming gaming will totally take off. This is inevitable.
