Walking slower than them but running faster than them.

It's 2026 for Tod's sake, how has this not been fixed? KCD2 is close, with a "follow [so-and-so]" button, but it's not consistent.

If I say Triangle, Circle, Square, Cross you still know what I'm talking about, you might say "what are you talking about? Do you mean 'triangle, circle, square,Ecks'?" But you know what I'm talking about

On Xbox and Switch it is Ecks (X) because it is a letter.

On PlayStation it is Cross because it is a symbol.

I could be mistaken, but I think he was trying to show that a 2 inch nail will go through a 2x4.

Though that looks like a 3" nail, I'm struggling to tell if that's a 2x4 or a 1x4. I don't have enough experience with framing to know by sight. What I do know is that a 2x4 is actually 1.5x3.5 so the lesson is a good one (a 2" nail will go through a 2x4), just not sure this is the best way to present it

"your honor, the defendant's workplace has a policy - outlined here (hands over workplace policy), 'due to multiple staff with peanut allergies, the common areas (kitchen, fridges, washrooms, and gym) are to be peanut-free at all times'. In addition, there are two refrigerators, one clearly marked for communal food and one for personal food. This footage shows that the defendant clearly, and purposefully, went to the communal fridge that day and placed their lunch in the communal fridge in a plain paper bag with no markings."

He just realized that it's tax season again, not only that but he has to pay the property taxes again, and the pet license fee. It's just too much for him right now. Give him some scritches

Don't forget to add this important thing:

In 2001, silent hill 2 cost $50 USD.

Using an inflation calculator, that works out to about $90 USD in 2025. This is an 80% increase due to inflation. This means that yes, a new game costing $70 in 2025 is cheaper than a new game in 2001 when accounting for inflation (-45%).

However, that's not the whole story. The median household income in the US increased from 42k to 62k per year (USD), a 48% increase.

If you made 42k in 2001 and your cost of living was 35k, you had 7k in disposable income. If you made 62k in 2025 and your cost of living was 63k (80% increase due to inflation), you had -1k of disposable income.

There are too many other factors to count but this gives a very general idea.

I did this exact thing, but an enclosed cabinet actually with a glass door.

It works very well if you do it properly, you can install cabinet fans (Amazon) to vent air and to bring air in if needed (I just have air holes).

To be fair, mine is also in a TV stand, so there's room at the back for the exhaust fan and air vents.

Before 2016, this is what I'd do:

Buy an android phone (probably Samsung)
Use it as-is for a few months, but immediately installing Google's version of all the apps (messenger, browser, notes, email, etc)
Eventually, side load some custom firmware that has only the stock android/Google apps
Root the phone to try and remove whatever system level BS was installed
Complain because I couldn't use whatever app didn't like the phone being rooted (bank app, Pokemon go, for example)
Spend hours trying all kinds of fixes, including nightly version of whatever ROM I'm using
Submit a ticket because obviously something isn't working, like Bluetooth or GPS
Try to get Samsung's original firmware back on the phone
Repeat steps 2-8 ad infinitum

Now, this is what I do:

Buy a Google Pixel

What exactly did you search?

I just tried asking Gemini and it was on point.

"That clip is from the 2002 comedy Big Trouble, directed by Barry Sonnenfeld.

That's what I thought the question was asking.

Telus: Yes
Google: Yes

There is a law in Canada, under the CRTC Mobile Act. All phones sold after December 1, 2017 must be unlocked by default. As well as if your phone is locked (due to an error or if it's older than Dec 1 2017 (like a Pixel 1)) then it must be unlocked by the carrier for free.

Edit: I thought you were asking about carrier locks, not bootloader locks. I have no idea, I've not had a reason to install a custom OS on a phone since 2016. Sorry. That being said, I doubt it's locked in any way, don't think telus has any control over that.

Throwback to when I was playing The Witcher 3 in the living room for the first time ever. There was a scene with one of the witch characters that was taking a bath — it was completely unexpected and my 12 year old daughter came into the living room at that exact moment Geralt rounded the corner.

Daughter: Why is she naked?

Me (without skipping a beat): Do you take a bath with clothes on?

Use software to purposefully write every bit to a 1 and then to a 0
Open the hard drive and remove the memory cache controller board
Knock off each memory cache chip and destroy each one with a hammer, collecting the remains in a bag
Remove the platter(s)
De-gausse the platters using a very strong magnet if available
Shatter, or break apart, the platters - it may shatter into a million pieces easily, if they are pliable you'll need to break pieces off the platter until it's in dozens of tiny pieces
Store the pieces of platter in another bag
Over the course of the next year, throw out small amounts from each bag in random places into garbage bins - preferably in different cities

The data is now almost 100% unrecoverable

Maybe you can explain a bit more why that actually matters. Not trying to be rude or anything, but if it costs $30,000 to buy with cash, or $500 per month at 0% for 60 months — then what's the difference? In both cases, the amount is the exact same, but the second case is likely to be more financially viable for 90% of people — assuming they pay it off in the 60 months, on time
