I keep telling myself “I want an x-box” and the news keeps telling me “no you fucking don’t”.

My guess is someone saw what was being built and said “hey, we can build something similar and sell it”, hence the C&D.

I usually do Flexi Rex. Thanks for introducing me to Günther.

They’re a great test for new filaments… the ones I keep stockpiling.

if I understand correctly, he’s arguing that since consoles are sold at a loss and the store has to make up the difference, Epic is ok with the 30% on the console stores.

I think I just got harassed about my adblocker in Finnish.

Big Unsolved Mysteries vibes from this pic. Like he’s the guy that disappeared that everyone had a reason to hate.

Raul hated the boss’ placement of top shelf spirits.

What a terrible demotion for Kelsey Grammer, from Starfleet to submarines.

I’d rather just a “Hide Thread” button but I can’t find one.

I dunno. I usually give platelets.

You might want to catch the series Andor on Disney+.

The trick is finding which customers are entitled idiots and un-customer them.
