  • That looks really cool! I’ll likely pick up a couple of the new controllers, but I’ve currently got a few mini PCs scattered around the house for gaming so I won’t need a steam machine until one of these craps out on me. But I’m very excited for the folks who will be able to get and enjoy it!




  • That last sentence is the one. Until someone comes out with a study we’re not going to know because what we see is informed by where we choose to go. I’m not generally in places where you can buy fancy coffee so I don’t see it, but I sure hear about it. If we’re only going by what I see then hardly anyone drinks coffee and people order green tea shots at an alarming rate.





  • That definitely became a thing. They think if you have an older car it means you won’t have insurance so they’ll be able to ticket you. Drug dealers around here used to ride in hoopties (the assumption at the time was that cops wouldn’t stop them because they knew they didn’t have any money) which probably doesn’t help the perception of older cars. They moved on a while back to newer and more invisible cars like slightly used SUVs.

    For a while the number of white cars on the road was like 1/3 (the greatest number), black cars made up about 1/5, and red was 5%. But red cars were pulled over the second most.



  • Your husband and I could be best friends because I also have poor hearing and can do the same thing with motorcycles with a pretty high success rate.

    We can sit in the same room not talking. Then one of us will think the other said something and yell “Huh?”. The other will loudly reply “What?”. Then that’ll go on for several minutes until we both smile and nod.


  • I don’t know over what time period, but I’ve had my main number for well over 15 years. I still don’t get spam phone calls. I’ve had my business number for probably 6 years and it also doesn’t get spam.

    However, I’ve got a throw away number that I cycle out every few years for a few bucks and I get endless spam calls on it. Apparently I’m getting numbers that people have given up because they got too much spam. Now I’m worried if I ever need to change my main number I’ll start getting crazy amounts of spam calls. Because for the throw away number I just check it once a week or if I need to get a code. I don’t have the calls forwarded to my phone so I literally do not care about the spam.
