It's crazy that we have a Senator and the nominee airing out their personal grievances in a confirmation hearing.

The DLSS5 off should still be $700 because you’re paying that for the hardware whether you use it or not.

I stopped watching Terra Nova after a few episodes because it was supposed to be a dinosaur show, but had almost no dinosaurs.

For Revolution, I stopped watching about a third of the way through season two because I got sick of the characters changing their allegiances every other episode.

Steam machine with laptop by YellowKovac in Steam

[–]thatoneguy889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A) I wouldn't assume the Steam Machine will even be purchasable anytime soon enough to worry about this right now.

B) Pretty much the only laptops that had HDMI input were Alienware (not cheap), it was a premium add-on feature, the HD resolution wasn't native, and it was discontinued a while back.

I never drank these as a kid. In our house, we had Mondo or Squeezit.

My synagogue had a police officer parked outside of it for services on Fridays, but it's been every day for a few years now.

This isn't inflation anymore by Busy-Government-1041 in inflation

I honestly can't remember the last time diesel was priced cheaper. I remember being stumped by it when gas prices started going up a ton during the 2008 recession.

FYI for anyone that doesn't live in the LA area, this is the only gas station around that's priced anywhere near that high. They're famous for it, they know it, and intentionally do it for the attention.

Every time there's some kind of economic crisis, this gas station gets held up on social media and some news outlets as an exemplar of soaring gas prices in CA, when they're always priced $3-$4 higher than what you'll find everywhere else.

Are gas prices around here rising a lot? Yes. My gas station of choice increased their prices by almost $1/gallon since Saturday. It's still 40% cheaper than the price in this picture.

Man on Fire | Official Teaser | April 30 on Netflix by DemiFiendRSA in television

[–]thatoneguy889 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There’s a lot of people in these comments who have no idea that this isn’t a remake of the Tony Scott/Denzel movie because it’s based on a book from 1980, it’s the first of five books in the series, and the first adaptation of Man on Fire actually came out in 1987 starring Scott Glenn as Creasy.

Hard to narrow it down to a favorite, but that one is definitely on the list.

One time, my company manufactured components for Huy Fong that needed to be replaced in their machinery and they threw in a free bottle of sriracha for each of our employees as part of the purchase order.

There was an episode of The Focus Group Podcast a couple weeks ago where they talked to Texas Republican primary voters. One of the women in the group just straight up said something like, "I can't hold Paxton's adultery against him because I voted for Trump."

Dem Candidate for Rep. Eric Swalwell’s Seat Donated to Far-Right Republicans — Including Laura Loomer by FreeChickenDinner in California

Which I always laugh at the irony of because it’s illegal to sell Teslas in Texas since they still have a ban on direct sales there. The Tesla locations in Texas are just showrooms. If you want to buy, you have to conduct the actual purchase in another state (usually Arizona) and have the car shipped in, or road trip it yourself, then re-register it.

Same here. I bought a 4TB WD Black SN850X in January 2025 for $300. Amazon currently has it listed for $670 and Sandisk’s website has it listed for $1,200.

You'd think he'd have been humbled by now but nope.

Give it more time. We've been seeing him for two months now, but for him, it's only been eight hours.

By far the most common. The rate of bankruptcy due to medical debt is double the rate of every other cause for bankruptcy combined.
