Sorry that I am too lazy to watch the video, but what does the doc do? Just charging or video out as well?

If it is just charging, there are off the shelf docks already and DIY guides on 3D printing sites.

A sore nerve in his glute? Sounds like a pain in the ass.

For systems that grade on a 1 to 5 scale, subtract 1 from your average grade to get your GPA (for example, if you have a 4.3 out of 5 average grade, you would have a 3.3 GPA). Not sure how to handle a grading system that goes from 1- to 5+.

The issue with South Park is that it targets a narrow audience and I am not part of it. The best episodes are going to be studied as master pieces of political humor, but when I try to watch it in season order, those episodes are sandwiched between episodes that are offensive and obscene just for shock value. I am not opposed to those episodes existing but watching them feels like a waste of time.

Something I noticed about engine builders I have tried in recent years is that they do not let you build a blatantly overpowered engine. Sure, that leads to a runaway leader, but it is the social contract of playing an engine building game. It would be like 4X games that punish you for fighting opponents (another complaint of mine is that all the new 4X games I have tried strongly discourage you from destroying opponents infrastructure…)

It could be sampling bias since I am not following all the new releases and I am not trying many games.

Assuming you have a card from a participating library.

You mean the fact that ICE parodied Pokemon cards? I imagine it would fall under "fair use". Plus, a lawsuit is only useful if a court enforces it. A judge is not going to be awarding massive damages against a government agency over a joke

It seems like Massachusetts Best Buys did not get the memo. I hear all these stories about people hating Best Buy over pushy employees and have the opposite experience. The stores only have 1-2 employees on the floor and the duty of those employees seems to be to hide from customers. If I ever need help finding an item or want something from a locked display, I have to spend 15-20 minutes running around the store trying to catch a ninja.

Wasn't that the Pocket Pair game before Palworld?

Perhaps they want the extra system resources to have a larger and more dynamic world?

Sorry, I don't watch many Bucks games, so I am wondering: is Thanasis actually capable of playing at an NBA level or is he just there for Giannis to get a better than max contract? 1 point, .5 points, .5 assists in 5 minutes is not that impressive.

With the exception of the moment you sell it, owning a professional sports team is a giant money sink. The obscenely rich do it for the attention and to rub it in the faces of all their friends. No matter how rich you are, you cannot own an NBA team unless an existing owner wants to sell or unless you pay off the existing owners to allow an expansion team.

Both attention and bragging rights increase the more a team wins. No owner wants to be in a position where they paid a lot to buy a team, have to pay a lot in team payroll, but still lose. If an owner is already heavily invested in a team and sees an opportunity to invest a little bit more for a lot more success, it makes sense to take it.

And did they get any interesting results from the analyzer?

Both the ongoing strong sales and good availability suggest that Nintendo was prepared this generation and had plenty of consoles in warehouses prior to launch.

Judging by the little burb, this was a device that allows the player to control the d-pad by shifting their weight from one butt cheek to the other? Cool, I guess but I don't understand why that is more immersive.

Is it an accessibility device being marketed to idiots to cover minimum order volume (like the Slap Chop or Snuggie)?

To me, he just comes off as gullible and not very smart. He looked at the argument for a flat Earth and argument for a round Earth, could not catch that one side was using very faulty reasoning, and went with the side that had the better looking presentation.

Does he ever speak out on any of the issues he is clueless about? The only thing I remember him being vocal about (other than basketball) is civil rights, based on his lived experience.

So a Switch 2 game where you walk around the real world and catch Pokemon? I see a bunch of issues with it:

• The S2 does not have mobile Internet, so they would need to preload maps of the entire world and put out constant game patches to keep them current. Any multiplayer content will only be playable when the player is home (or by a Wi-Fi hotspot).
• The S2 does not have GPS. Would they track location by polling the joycon accelerometer every second and moving the player character 2 inches down the street? You would be to start every play session from a known location and keep the S2 running for the entire play session. Also, the longer you play, the more the errors in your location will add up.
• The S2 does not have a rear camera, so you cannot do AR, only a fantasy background.

Pokemon Go or Pokemon Let's Go? I would love a new Let's Go. I would also love the old games to be released on Switch Online (or stand alone) with full Pokemon Home integration.

Your journalism degree makes you a more well rounded person. Also, there is an overlap between journalism and IT: tech news, tech blogging, tech review, etc.

Have you given any thought about what your next steps will be?

What about maple syrup? American made syrup has every right to the leaf, to represent the tree of origin.

You geese did not invent the maple tree.
