  1. @Bloodporne - turns out I have one final PS4 code. Are you interested or were you just not impressed enough by what you played at your friend's house to bother?
  2. "Hollywood accounting" is its own special kind of beast. Most actors are now so very well aware of Hollywood accounting trickery that they design their %-based contracts to errrr...account for it.
  3. Which is something that we should all be criticizing them for in the first place.
  4. There are quite a few ways that the character could've been updated for 2018 that would've remained true to the show's themes and not relied on an outdated racial stereotype. Like I said, perhaps the greatest fault is that it's just not funny anymore because it's tired in the same way as the stumble-down drunk Irish paddy ain't exactly bring the yucks either.
  5. In 2018, this character is effectively the same "low-hanging fruit" humor as the drunk Irishman or the lazy Mexican. It's been done to death and is no longer funny or relevant.
  6. All this means Foxconn needs far fewer assembly line workers. “If, six months ago, you asked me, what would be the mix of labor? I would pull out the experience that we have in China and say, ‘Well, 75 percent assembly line workers, 25 percent engineers and managers,’” Woo said. But “now it looks like about 10 percent assembly line workers, 90 percent knowledge workers.” Almost all the actual assembly line work, he added, will be done by robots.
  7. Ty Montgomery went rogue. In case you were wondering, yes, Montgomery had been told by coaches to take the touchback if it was available. “The plan was to stay in [the end zone] and give the ball to Aaron Rodgers,” Mike McCarthy acknowledged. “Obviously the plan there is to stay in the end zone. Two minute. We actually talked about it as a team.”
  8. When EVE Online’s Chinese version relaunches in Q4 of 2018, rulebreakers may find themselves facing a type of punitive action that goes way beyond banning—they might end up in a virtual prison labor camp.
  9. Metro 2033 author Dmitry Glukhovsky calls Andrzej Sapkowski an “old fool” and an "ungrateful schmuck"
  10. Welsh folklore? Does that mean that there will be a lot of words without vowels and look like Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch
  11. PEHP, which covers 160,000 public employees and family members, is offering plane tickets to San Diego, transportation to Tijuana, and a $500 cash payout to patients who need certain expensive drugs for multiple sclerosis, cancer and autoimmune disorders.
  12. My mother and father sent in their mail-in ballots in Florida. My mother (who voted straight Democrat) did her part by filling out my 97 year-old father's mail-in ballot with a straight Democrat ticket and then holding his hand for him to "sign" it.
  13. It was pretty much assumed that this would be her final term as Chancellor, but this makes it official. Hardly surprising considering the drubbing her CDU has been taking in the regional elections. At least now the party can start the search for her replacement.
  14. (gazes across the Potomac River towards the White House) Yes and yes.
  15. My mother did her part by filling out my 97 year-old father's mail-in ballot with a straight (D) ticket and then holding his hand for him to "sign" it.
  16. An Israeli arguing in favor nationalism always tickles me considering that the Israeli state formed directly as the result of murderous European nationalism.
