Suggesting something open to doubt isn’t debatable is just not knowing what the word means. There are dictionaries available to the public.

Suggesting the device is underpowered in all contexts is just silly. If I want a device to play Stardew Valley, Braid or some other game with very different people requirements than Cyberpunk, it may not be underpowered… to me.

I get that you’re one of those people that just can never ever accept they are maybe making an objective statement about a subjective value, but you should introspect a bit. You said it wasn’t debatable. We have debated. I doubt your position. End of story.

If you want to compare this to flat earth, fine. Rest assured, nobody will likely find and follow this thread.

FWIW, I think I probably agree with some of your sentiment. It would be better if more powerful. It is underpowered for many of the modern generation of games, etc. Not for you. No problem. Maybe others will like it. ¯\(ツ)/¯

You don’t seem to understand that “underpowered” requires context. Nor do you that what we’re having here is a debate, thus making it debatable nevertheless.

Yes I agree, if we can move the goalposts where ever we want, you might have a point for your own narrow view. But there will be people that believe what it delivers to be suitable for playing the games they want to play, in which case it won’t be underpowered. Which means its status as underpowered… is debatable.

No, I meant precisely what I wrote. The point being that if it were $4, “underpowered” would be an absurd way to describe it, because value is a function of cost versus benefit, where benefit is subjective.

And how would you feel if it were $4?

Wow! WTF? Parents being involved seems the minimum. The way I see it, if the school took no action and the parents were intentionally not told, the kid got off easy without a full blown asswhoopin’.

Yeah, well you know uhh, that’s just like my opinion, man. And without pricing it is hard to say if under or over powered. But I think it is thoughtfully designed. Looks like it is well-cooled, expandable storage, programmable light strip, and you can install whatever you want in it.

I thought the GabeCube was even better.

Valve crushed it out of the park. Great hardware and really well presented; beautiful and succinct.

How will we request thoughts? Will we be left with only prayers? Noooo!

I think Servo joining LF is one of the more exciting things of the last few years in software. I really hope they keep making progress.

The last reply is great.

Pretty on the nose. It shouldn’t be that easy.

Traitors

Again, not defending her, but what? Just because she was being reckless, doesn’t mean running over a person was intentional. That is why one would get charged with something like manslaughter rather than murder. Or maybe she was saying “I’m about to run this guy over. Watch this.” But that wasn’t in the story.

I think it is a bad thing no matter what. Sounds like it was an accident, so even if it was Peter Theil, that woman has to live with that.

Just want to clarify, what she did was not okay on any level. Phones in the console; eyes on the road people. But it is still a bad day when you realize you took somebody’s life because you were irresponsible. At least, I assume for most people.

Alright, but even full-size it does look a bit like him.

Greedy little pig boy

Skin sloughs off naturally and requires no scrubbing. It isn’t nasty dead skin, just dead skin; no big deal. Get some dirt off, maybe excess but not all oils off, and you’re good.

Also this fun old video.
