I'm almost more concerned that you can't recall "how many times [you've] been sitting silently in a room with no windows in the middle of no where on the map."
Is, uh, is there something you find particlularly rewarding in this?:-)
Yeah. It's called going to take a shit.;-) (You can the watch the minutes before your death on the death cam)
I can't tell you how many times I have been sitting silently in a room with no windows in the middle of nowhere on the map only to have a team of dudes open the door and throw in grenades to kill me.
Only way that happens is to be using a cheat device that showed my location to them on the map.
BS. I have an Oculus Rift and the experience is amazeballs.
Most people do not want the inconvenience or encumbrance of wearing an uncomfortable, eye straining device on their heads. That's why VR is failing.....
Do me a favor next time and actually read my post before you reply. I said the same fucking thing. Facepalm.
And I can point to billions who don't own anything VR. You could find people saying the same thing about 3DTV yet that's a dead technology. The market has clearly spoken.
Check out this graph for the adoption of the cell phone... LOL. It took decades to happen and then it took off like wildfire.
You keep coming up with excuses as to why it won't sell, but maybe you should come to terms with the fact that VR just isn't that special.
Mark my words and make fun of me all you want with your straw man arguments. Apple or some company who has the tech (think A10X line of processors in the iPad) will create a VR experience in a tiny form factor with a purpose built development environment. VR will go ape shit at that point.
We have a device that doesn't need a $2000 PC. It's called Playstation VR (PSVR).
Same problem guy. It's got to be tether-less and cost less. And quite honestly the PSVR experience sucks from a resolution and responsiveness perspective compared to Rift and Vive.
VR is like 3DTV. Overhyped shit that no one wants.
BS. I have an Oculus Rift and the experience is amazeballs. The problem is that its too complex and the apps are half-baked.
1. We need a device that doesn't require a $2000 gaming PC to run and an octopus of cables. That's what the companies left are trying to achieve at this point. It's the only way it will get adopted by the majority.
2. On the flip side the software is just crap. Most of the games are half baked and are frankenstein version adapted for VR. VR needs real games written for the platform with the same investments that PC and Console get. That won't happen until the customer base is big enough. Fix #1 and #2 will fix itself.
Very possibly, but not a currency that needs the output of the Hoover dam for an hour to calculate a transaction.
THIS. Cryptocurrency is absolutely without a doubt the future of currency, but it will never be bitcoin for this reason and because its value is not stable.
we still should acknowledge that there are telemarketers who do have humanity
False. Anyone who signs up to do this job accepts the shit storm they will receive. You don't get to say "I'm just doing my job." Find a different job.
>Where is the airline offering more legroom and less crammed cabins?
Maybe they should introduce a new section at the front of economy with a couple of extra inches of legroom and call it "Economy Plus".
Except the prices for those seats are sometimes double. 3-4" of extra space and the ability to recline another 2" should only cost at most $50 more. Do the math on the revenue they are getting for those 12 extra seats and you'll see they are gouging you for premium economy.
I certainly support free market as much as reasonably possible. But it doesn't seem to be working here.
Where is the airline offering more legroom and less crammed cabins? Granted within the airlines there are different cabins, but there's no competition between a $350 coach seat and and a $6000 business class seat.
I think its time for some regulation in seat densities.
Is there some continuing delusion that cryptocurrency serves any real purpose?
There is little doubt in my mind Crypto-Currency is the future of currency. Just not in any of the current iterations. But just like any other technology we must keep iterating before we get to the product that actually works. iPad wasn't the first tablet after all.
It's the only way for change to happen. Imagine in people from 200 years ago were still alive and voting. We'd never progress as a society.
"And that is as it should be, because death is very likely the single best invention of life. It is life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new."
So use a spot welder rather than a torch, and duplicate the intended welding pattern. Still not rocket science.
I suspect there are two things at play:
1) It's probably much more difficult to get to the spot than makes sense. Once 2nd and 3rd assemblies are put together it may simple be too complicated to bother with.
2) The liability. If this car is in an accident and that patchwork weld fails it will cost them a lot more than 293 cars cost.

that give them a competitive edge. The second they get the marketshare they want in an area support for other competing products is eliminated.

and I don't get why anyone would watch this. Period.
Just stop paying. They will terminate service for non-payment. After service has been terminated, pay your final bill before it goes to collections.
This is terrible advice! Collections or not they are going to ding your credit.

This was only in the news several days ago.
The SEC on the other hand. They will.
Nope. They won't. Not their area of governance.
I suspect no one. Wrong site editors. News for Nerds is calling and wants it site back.

They bought their tickets, they knew what they were getting into - I say let em be crushed.
You're obviously not required to travel for business. If only it was so simple.

What was your exercise program like ?
Super simple.
I walk-jog about 30-45 minutes at least 3-4 days a week.
I do very light weight training with dumbells 3-4 days a week.
Nothing more. I also significantly reduced my calorie intake by cutting junkfood mostly.
I had high blood pressure, borderline blood sugar levels, anxiety, and a big belly.
I started an evening exercise routine, lost 30 lbs. Blood pressure is perfect, blood sugar normal, anxiety gone, and my pants fit again.
Strong argument: donât try saving anyone as we canât have old men and women voting ðY'
No one said that.
It's the only way for change to happen. Imagine in people from 200 years ago were still alive and voting. We'd never progress as a society.

this watch only has 18 hours endurance unless you basically turn it off. Some watch.
Funny mine lasts 2 to 3 days...
