What's the story with the Speedracer-like dial on that one?

To be honest The Outer Worlds was pretty middle of the road and didn't feel particularly fresh or new so I don't know what he's going on about with this "bring me something new and I'll think about it" thing.

Sorry but Apple's entire business model with iOS rubs me the wrong way. Imagine buying a computer and then having the computer manufacturer get to decide what software you're allowed to run on your computer.

No thank you.

I still have photos from my Sony Ericson Walkman phones!

I thought 3/4 ounce was fine. Just make sure the three dashes of bitters are big healthy dashes and not just drips of bitters. I used Plantation 5 Year for the rum.

Looks like the crappy photos my old flip phone would take back in 2005 or something.

It's good without it but the egg white really kicks it up another notch.

I agree. Use a good rum like Wray & Nephew Overproof. No need for flavored liquor.

How could anything be lamer than making such a lazy criticism as "how lame" though? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Re: Throw Out the Vermouth and Enjoy the In and Out Martini

Strideo — Sun, 17 Oct 2021 18:14:27 -0000

I believe what you're making here is a chilled gin served up with a twist with the added step of wasting a splash of vermouth.

Chilling gin by stirring with ice and serving it up is a good way to enjoy gin but I'll never understand what the deal is with people trying to take the vermouth out of a martini. A good martini should be two parts gin and one part dry vermouth.

Maybe if you had read the write up you'd see that the author already knew that.

I've made it a point to buy nothing from Amazon for Christmas shopping this year.

Besides, I've been less and less satisfied with the selection of goods available on Amazon. It's just an endless parade of the cheapest no name crap that spews forth from China. It's actually getting hard to find reputable brands on Amazon depending on the type of product and even when a reputable brand is available half the time you need to dig to find it.

Can you knock a few more thousand off the price tag just compensate for how ugly the cars are?

Re: Gear Review: Monimoto MM6 Tracking System

Strideo — Fri, 28 Aug 2020 19:04:59 -0000

Contact the police and tell them you're tracking your stolen bike.

I heard a story about a guy who used a GPS tracking system to track down his bike then he held the thief at gunpoint until the cops arrived but that's extremely risky. Not only might the thief turn violent or have friends with them that might try to get the jump on you but not all police departments will take a friendly view to you "taking the law into your own hands".

This is why we're going to end up with bland mindless entertainment churned out by risk averse corporate entities. Anything the audience might find challenging or thought provoking could offend someone regardless of the context and we just can't have that.

Maybe salvagers should get together a lawsuit.

I wouldn't mind at all if someone just came up with their own software you could install. Sure, you'd lose the connectivity features that Tesla provides but at least you'd have full control over the car and supercharge it at home and possibly use other charging networks.

Many cars are totaled due to the cost of repair being too high vs the cost of replacement. Not every car that is totaled is deemed so because it can't be repaired properly.

I'm glad they were open to other options rather than just putting themselves in a cage.

Why would someone have a reasonable expectation of privacy in a public place when they're out in plain view of everyone?
