I used to enjoy the old Joystiq site. Followed them to Engadget. Hell, I used the Joystiq url redirect bookmark until it stopped working. Might as well just delete the bookmark now, no sense it watching it slide further into irrelevancy.

The US loves the cartels. They get us all the drugs we consume and give us a lucrative market to sell our surplus small arms.

Apple sells refurbs. The headset hasn't even been out two weeks yet. Give it time.

SciShow did a piece (partially) about this recently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXEFQH5UXHQ

The whole situation is thoroughly fucked up, but hey, as long as people are making money amirite? 😑

Getting a heat pump has been on my want-to-do list for years. But even though my furnace is aging, it still works so it's been hard to justify while there were other issues going on. Accelerating adoption is only going to make the process easier when the time comes.

Yeah, this shit happens all the time in NJ. Related to someone powerful? Here, have a free political position!

Andy Kim is getting my vote in the primary but with Murphy getting anointed like this, the full weight of the machine is going to be behind her.

The year is After Colony 195. With high expectations, human beings leave Earth to begin a new life in space colonies. However, the United Earth Sphere Alliance gains great military powers, and soon seizes control of one colony after another in the name of Justice and Peace.
