I always considered this a plus. I love the fact that I can change my eneloops without waiting to recharge or using the controller wired up to a charger.

99% of my purchases are "Shipped & Sold by Amazon." I've had fantastic luck following this pattern. I think a lot of people see "Fulfilled by Amazon" and think it's some sort of mark of quality, but any 3rd party seller can have their items shipped by Amazon. Just make sure Amazon is the seller...

In California, minimum wage in 2000 was 5.75. It's now 11. Federal minimum wage increased from 5.15 (in 2000) to the current 7.25.

Those arguing for "living wages" forget one minor factor in running a business. Profit. Labor is a huge cost and as it rises, so will prices. I really hope this thread doesn't devolve into discussions about price control but I have a feeling it will.

This. Anyone can become wealthy by saving, investing and living within their means. Most people don't. They spend what they earn and then some. If they earn more, they spend more.

Any sensible business, especially one beholden to their share holders, will never take a hit on profits. The main problem with minimum wage is inflation. As minimum wage goes up, so does the cost of everything, from groceries to your basic burger combo to rent.

I must be getting old. I need reading glasses to play for any length of time on my switch, especially detail oriented games like Breath of the Wild.

Get the same size screen in a far more compact form factor with a clamshell design. This rollup is unwieldy, unless they shrink it into a lipstick size device.

Correct. The Heller decision removed the often used argument from the left of belonging to a militia.

I used to only play with KB+M and thought those who played with controllers on the PC were nuts. Then I changed my tiny 24" desktop monitor to a 55" TV/Monitor and now almost exclusively use a controller so I can sit back a little in my chair and not be hunched over a desk.

Guardians 2 sucked, so having Gunn back for Guardians 3 wouldn't have been a good move anyway. Guardians 1 was lightning in a bottle.

I have fond memories of my many CRTs back in the day, but yeah, I don't miss the shadow masks, convergence issues and flickering one single bit.

Kevin Feige does a decent job of keeping things consistent no matter the creative team behind it. Don't think Guardians fans have much to worry about.

Gunn's a one hit wonder. Guardians 2 was clearly inferior to 1. Disney probably saw the downward trajectory which made it easier to let him go.

In California it's closer to 20%. Even worse, their greenhouse Cap & Trade legislation is estimated to increase the price of gas by up to 70-80cents/gal in ten years.
