YouTube is the one pushing them to clickbait. Their metrics are designed such that if you don't bait clicks a huge percentage of the time you're shown, you won't even show up in the feeds of your actual subscribers.

Good luck divorcing a violent dictator while they're in power.

lol yeah that's all nothing.

Except the bottle openers, "you can't bring that on a plane" is perfectly fine. But you don't need to play make believe that it's some big bust either. Just let her throw it away or leave and get someone to take it for her or whatever and move on.

Astro's playroom comes with it, but there's also a full game.

The plucky squire is a really cool concept of a game that I enjoyed as an adult, but is written and presented like a story book (you literally jump out of the book and manipulate pages for some stuff), and it's definitely appropriate for kids both in terms of complexity and the writing.

It's a bunch of firecrackers, a couple little knives, and a couple bottle openers.

The lack of cohesion and the fact that everyone who makes camera stuff is shady as shit.

My phone has access to my whole life. Anything that isn't brand new out of the box is way outside what I'm OK with for security.

Ignoring that, iPhones don't get that discounted and there's no amount you could pay me to use Android as a phone.

If nothing else, because corporations use it incredibly effectively to tailor behavior manipulation to you personally.

The arm and ball were moving forward before it came out. It wasn't even all that close. You review it 1000 times and 0 of them are a fumble. The ball has to be loose on the backswing to be a fumble. Any forward motion at all with the ball not clearly loose makes it a pass.

You can't hit a QB in the head. You especially can't hit a QB only in the head.

Cameras are different. Professional stuff is built to last forever and can be really good value.

I wouldn't take a used tablet or laptop for free, though. It's genuinely worth nothing to me.

That was incomplete.

But it was also definitely roughing.

Ignore everything you already paid.

10 million for next year would be a criminal overpay for Kirk Cousins, and that's what the roster bonus they're saving is.

Depends what it is. I'll buy used books all day, but there's almost no level of savings where I'd buy most used electronics.

I'm sure that would probably be smarter.

That's sunk cost.

He wasn't benched because they like Penix. He was benched because he sucks.

No, there is not. A license is just a contract.

Buying a company because they have a license you want is not remotely unusual. It's perfectly standard behavior, and the entire enterprise world would fall apart if an acquisition lost the rights to licenses the purchased business owned.

I won't debate this point either way. There are definitely ranges to quality, and I haven't see bona fide research on the impact of factory farming and limited strains vs whatever else.

Also, processed doesn't automatically mean unhealthy. It more just enables incredibly unhealthy things to be done either as preservatives or to cut costs.

But the biggest impact on health is from the ready, cheap availability of low quality, high calorie food that is actively optimized for overconsumption, and the fact that frozen prepared foods (and fast food) that are affordable are generally not very healthy because of cost cutting. So that's the best point of emphasis to be healthier.

Apple did add RCS in one of the iOS 18 updates.

It's just only E2EE when routed through Google.

No, it's not the same.

Companies being acquired for their contracts is a daily occurrence.

Yeah, the terms would probably be legal, but they'd be so prohibitive that most companies wouldn't sign them. Having to get a new license to key technology negotiated when you want to sell is a huge handicap.
