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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
Doesn't seem so bad compared to California (from the LA Times Oct 2017):
"The bill signed by Gov. Jerry Brown will raise the state excise tax on gasoline by 12 cents, from 29.7 cents per gallon to 41.7 cents per gallon. The excise tax on diesel fuel will increase by 20 cents, from 16 cents per...
That's what Samsung says.
I think the real truth is that LG has been more successful at manufacturing OLED (they have the rights to a unique manufacturing process acquired from Kodak that produces better yields in the large format vs their competitors).
Producing large OLED panels using...
Funny how the right is always maligned for their heavy handed ways but not the left. Not enough people demanding solar? Force them. Not enough people avoiding transfat oil? Ban it. Not enough people asking about calories on fast food items? Regulate menu boards. I remember seeing an interview...
Last movie I wasted my money on was Last Jedi, which only showed on 3D at the time I needed (before work). The picture was murky, dark as hell, everything was obscured. Anything with motion was miserable. Terrible experience made only worse by a bad movie.
What's the current administration doing with the Chinese that could possibly be worse than selling them our most advanced missile guidance technology during the Clinton administration?
In addition, modern plant designs have many safety features missing from older plants (like Fukushima) with passive safety features that kick in even without human involvement.
Besides, blanketing our landscape with solar & wind will kill off the majority of our bird population either by blunt...
None of you guys use a TV as a monitor? I recently upgraded my 55" 1080P LG to a 55" 4K LG as my primary monitor and it made a fantastic improvement in PC gaming. Everything is razor sharp with far more detail.
I was fortunate to pick up a 1080ti before the price explosion so all games run...
I don't get this weird hate for Trump. Do none of you invest in the market?? Or did you all follow the advice of leftists telling you to sell sell sell your kid's college funds when Trump won, saying the market will guarantee tank? My lower-risk conservative investments in the market have...
Thanks for making my point.
I see you didn't touch upon the transracial issue. Opinions? Two pioneers of the movement - Dolezol & King.
Oh and many who believe in the healthy-at-any-weight don't agree with your assessment that it causes health conditions or that it's in anyway a dysfunction.
Just a natural extension of the trans movement. Be who you want to be and we will accept you and support you for it no matter the consequences. Healthy at any weight. Be the gender you want to be. Be the race you want to be. Anyone who disagrees is a bigot.
All the greenies talking about pollution, having this plant in China would've been an order of magnitude worse for the planet in terms of net pollution.
Kind of left your thoughts on a cliff hanger. Why would sending your kid to a private school be the worst thing you could do compared to public classrooms?
Don't see why they couldn't nowdays. PS4 Pro has an increasing number of games with 30/60 option. It usually sacrifices resolution/quality but I'm glad the option is there finally in the console world.
Since 1989, the US federal government alone has funded global warming studies in excess of 30 *billion* dollars. That much money doesn't evaporate into thin air. It goes to researchers whose livelihood depends on the "correct" answer. Imagine earning your living performing such research. What's...

Correct. My kids and I only play three games right now: Classic Sonic, Zelda and Snipper Clips. I basically got the Switch last week while it was available (without a scalper premium) because I know when Mario comes out next month, there's going to be another shortage of systems.
I don't see what the big deal with checkerboarding is. It looks great on my PS4 Pro. Both Sony and MS should use checkboarding, save the resources for higher settings elsewhere and call it a day.
Performance seems ok especially if you're in the Freesync camp, but that power usage is outrageous. Can only imagine how much wattage it'll suck up when overclocking on water.
All you Bernie-Bros in this thread talking about Eugenics and forced pop control are scary as hell. What's to stop a ruling class to decide if one class of people politically or culturally is deficient/genetically-inferior and thus grounds for termination?
At $15/hr, a restaurant operating 12hrs would have labor cost of $180 per day per cashier position. Add in employer matching FICA/Medicare tax/workerscomp/overhead, and you're looking at labor cost of $225 per position per day. That's an astounding $82,000 yearly. Guarantee those kiosks cost a...
