- Comment on I guess they didn't Edge enough 1 week ago:
Would Kamala Harris run unopposed?
Definitely not. The convention would still have happened and a candidate would have been nominated to run. The timeline and internal party politics would have been drastically altered, though.
Even if the Repubs didn’t nominate someone, there were still third parties running that would have probably just filled the void.

What do you want from physical buttons on the phone?
I would like dedicated back/home/recent keys, like on early Android phones. The back button also functioned as a “disconnect” button for phone calls, which was nice. I still miss it.
- Comment on Ford ends F-150 Lightning production, starts battery storage business 8 months ago:
What I wanted was a nice little ranger style truck - 2 seater, can pick up some lumber, decent sized bed, for in my garage.
The Telo truck looks like it has promise, but it’s far from mass production. I hope it lives up to its promises though, I would love to see small trucks make a comeback.

When did the pronunciation change from N-E-S to Nes?
Of the people I knew as a kid, the “N.E.S.”/“Nes” divide was about even (I’m in the US)

- Comment on If you are a young person you have no idea how bad everyone and everything smelled until at least the 1990s. 1 year ago:
In most restaurants I saw there was no wall in between.
This was my experience as well. I can still see it today in some older restaurants that haven’t been renovated in years, where there’s an area of the dining room with a much higher ceiling.
- Comment on Itch drama is getting real 1 year ago:
Couldn’t they just move .io to a different category?
Specifically the issue is that two letter TLDs are reserved exclusively for countries/governments. So far only one exception has been made to this rule, .su for the Soviet Union. So another exemption is certainly possible.

In many US rural areas, home internet connections have a monthly cap
And suburban, and urban. I’ve never lived anywhere that didn’t have a cap.
- Comment on Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown Team Disbanded After Critically Lauded Platformer Fails to Meet Expectations - Report 1 year ago:
OK but did it really flop or where they expecting it to sell a morbillion units weekly?
Sources say that Ubisoft was expecting The Lost Crown to sell similarly to the biggest Metroidvania’s in the market, with millions of units sold in a relatively short space of time. Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown has sold approximately one million units at the time of writing.

- Comment on How did gravity worked on the Death Star? 2 years ago:
This is just my head canon, but the noise actually comes from speakers on board the ship /in the cockpit
I’m pretty sure this was explicitly addressed in at least one of the pre-Disney novels, and was somewhat entrenched with a part of the fanbase afterward.
- Comment on All jokers fault probably 2 years ago:
Clock King (at least BTAS clock king, the one in the picture) can’t control time.
He did have access to a device in his second appearance that allowed him to control the flow of time, so he had the ability albeit in an indirect fashion.

I’m not color blind and almost didn’t see it. This was an okay idea, executed with a terrible choice of colors.

- Comment on These notifications are bundled together for some reason. So if I want to be notified when my subscriptions renew themselves, I have to also be notified of random games going on sale, too. 2 years ago:
I had to specifically mute all of my notifications because I couldn’t find out what app was causing them and it was driving me nuts.
I’ve been doing that for years. I only have a handful of apps with audio notifications, basically the most important ones that need my attention right away. Everything else gets vibrate.

I think this is about it coming out of Early Access?
The developer published this trailer on March 15. Looks like they’ve made a channel for the game specifically and republished it there.

- Comment on Walter Koenig was bitterly disappointed about his role in Star Trek VI 2 years ago:
What a weird thing to say. I’ve always heard it described as one of the best TOS films and I always found the ending quite an emotional and fitting send-off to the TOS crew.
His feelings might be related to his plan for the sixth film involving the TOS crew being forcibly retired and then slaughtered.

Technically, the new flag doesn’t come into use for another 5 months or so, assuming the legislature doesn’t stop it.
It does look pretty slick, though.
