The-Bus

I would also highly recommend FX's The Americans.

> My point is that a million makers on a million joycons couldn't generate enough commercially viable content for a single game.

The toolset is limited, so you end up with Mario levels of LittleBigPlanet.

If you provide a fuller toolset (like UnrealEd or the ability to mod), then you absolutely have viable content, enough for (in the case of CS) the original publishers of the base game acquiring your commercially viable content.

This is as bad as some self-published children's books, but in a different way.

I would hope that drivers understand how to interact with motorcyclists, trucks, emergency vehicles, and trains all of which have separate sets of rules and could interact with a car.

I understand the point you are trying to make but a hardcover book is definitely can take more damage than an ereader.

Netflix removes the film grain in compression then adds it back in: https://www.slashcam.com/news/single/Netflix-removes-movie-n...

Not using cost measured in dollars to equate the benefit of different things, but most studio films are at minimum tens of millions of dollars, with nine figures not being uncommon.

Ride sharing has largely been unprofitable over the last few years. The food delivery apps take a gigantic (Apple App Store) cut from local restaurants.

The Honda Ridgeline has a wheelbase that's almost two feet longer than a mid-80s Ford Ranger. The body is almost a yard longer.

Bring back small, capable trucks.

Same here, in Latin America. The new Italian dub just came out. I will have to wait until December for the Spanish language release.

(I think the poster was being facetious)

Good double feature with the Shiv Ramdas rice truck story: https://twitter.com/nameshiv/status/1301521850552315904

I once had a sociology professor whose final was multiple choice and every answer (out of 50) was a B, except for the last, which was a C.

NYC needs a broader bus network, but it doesn't need to use the existing large (or XL articulated aka bendy bus) to do so.

Hong Kong has Public Light Buses that carry 1M passengers a day: https://www.td.gov.hk/en/transport_in_hong_kong/public_trans...

Dollar vans effectively do this currently, but it's cheaper than any light rail or other solution, especially for outer borough transportation.

The article I read asked airlines to not sell additional seats, meaning to go off on the amount of sold seats they already have.

A glitchy mouse sends the message that a company is not willing to spend $35 on a mid-tier Logitech mouse for the benefit of a resource they are likely spending six figures on (not just in salary but other costs).

If they are making this easily fixable mistake, imagine what else they're doing poorly.

Just so you understand how this sounds to someone who works in (or cares about) apparel:

Computers make no sense! So let's simplify them. Let's just have one kind of laptop, desktop, server, and phone. With the same operating system.

Why are we still using so many different kinds of computers?

I saw a finance TikTok of someone advertising how they were able to afford a $1M+ home by essentially having crypto interest cover payments. This video was taken down a few weeks ago (lol).

I believe a lot of commercial contracts for printers (Canon, Xerox, etc.) can be priced this way.

The extremely sad fact is that doing this calculation for storage costs in a major city means you are often better off simply throwing out or giving away the item instead of storing it, and buying a replacement when you need one.

I know someone with vintage Doc Martens from the 90s that they still wear. I personally find Doc Martens uncomfortable, but I am happy to introduce you to them so you can confirm that old boots do get worn.

I have a pair of dress shoes that are approaching ten years old. I spent more than I ever had on any pair of shoes but they continue to be comfortable and are easy enough to resole, clean, etc.

There are enough items in the world of apparel (I hesitate to use the word "fashion") that are timeless, at least on the scale of a human lifetime. My belt is twenty years old. My watch (due for service) is over twenty years old.

A good shirt will last longer than a cheap shirt. If you buy carefully (i.e. not just what's in "fashion" that season), it can work for a long time.

I had a US-made dress shirt that lasted me close to 15 years and I think I spent less than $40 on it. It's a shame those mills are long gone because few shirts last that long and I'm not willing to find out if spending $400 on a shirt gets me the same quality.

At some point clothes become a Veblen good. The idea is to spend on quality, not on marketing or details that don't add to the durability of the item.

A single school in a rich district may have more funding than five or six entire districts in other parts of the city.

I once attended a presentation of a startup that was providing this service but focused on prescription drugs (with large companies as their client). Their first step in the process was to open and run a pharmacy so they could gain that perspective.

I'm in a high foot-traffic urban area and anything that's too cumbersome to sell locally (I don't want to haggle over a $5 item) we just put outside on the sidewalk. Almost all of the time, it finds a new home.

This is a great idea for the US as well, if only we had a significant mass transit infrastructure that this could apply to.

I think to put a finer, nuanced point to it is that there is no positive net health benefit to alcohol consumption[1]. So the mindset should not be "a drink or two confers health benefits" but rather "this is harmful, so I have to make sure I don't do it too often or too much".

This is not my area of study, so any other views are helpful.

Or either with a male gymnast.

I think the comment was about enterprise/business support, not features.

Plus, they protect you in the eventuality of an alien attack. Make sure you keep a bat around too.

I think a faculty at a Motorsports Engineering School probably knows how to maintain vintage sports cars. Just because they own the car does not mean they need to maintain it.

This is also a humor article.
