The article title and it's contents are bullshit. It gets to the one line of truth where it states there's no link that tourine from energy drinks makes the cancer grow more, or causes cancer.

The entire thing is that tourine (naturally made in your body) is used by leukemia cancer cells as a fuel source, and that preventing tourine from going into the cancer cells halts its growth.

Sales of evs will drum up. Then in December trump\muskrat will extend it for American made evs.

Yep. Usually the only PS3 issue that happens is when the drive wears out, eventually. I think that turns into a big issue because 8 believe the drive is "paired" to the PlayStation, so you'd have to move over the control board on the drive to the replacement drive. If you don't swap those you have to do a bunch of custom firmware bullshit.

Fakespot became defeated years ago and became useless on Amazon.

The best method I've had is to ignore any off brand looking product that's been for sale for less than a couple months, but has tons of reviews, and when I pick something, sort the reviews by newest first and read those ones.

Usually the most paid reviews and fake reviews are close to when a product first starts selling. If the thing has been for sale for a little while, odds are that the most recent reviews are mostly from real people. Also, sometimes they will sale a higher quality item the first few weeks it's for sale, and then start selling the item with cheaper parts on the inside. Like earbuds with good innards getting swapped out for cheaper drivers and processors.

She was so out of his league.

With how Valve has been playing things, a new steam console would likely be a working Linux PC, but have a default gaming GUI that you can plug into whatever screen you want, and switch over to the Linux desktop mode to "do work". This is how the steam deck functions.

As for why not just build a PC? Valve can probably sell a steam box cheaper than you can build the equivalent and have it in a smaller, more portable package.

I know exactly the cause of this. The 360 got a bad rep because of the red ring of death fiasco bricking the consoles. All because of a few design flaws, mostly around the processors assembly that took them quite a while to figure out the cause of, and even longer to do anything about.

Then the even bigger nail in the coffin of Blu-ray beating out HD DVD, and a PS3 being pretty much the cheapest blu ray player you could get.

Ditches can make anything possible.

Yeah, inflation is a thing. But so is increasing volumes in sales with low cost distribution of the product.

After a game is made now, the only cost is distribution now, and games sell in larger volumes than ever before, making more money than ever before. A game like BL4? Even if they spent $300,000,000 making the game they only need to sell 6,000,000 copies to recoup costs at $70. BL3 has sold 18,000,000 copies. A huge profit, even if most of those sales were on sale prices. BL3 was made and advertised with a 140 million dollar budget.

It's still a Gulf.

Not to be the ruiner of dissing a Kardashian, but there's zero chance that any of the players would be able to see the cards in the reflection of the glasses, even if her glasses were perfect mirrors. With how you look at your cards in a game of Texas hold em, the angles would never be remotely close to right.

 

When using the Gboard keyboard in thunder, every time I go back to the main page the Gboard keyboard pops back up. Has anyone figured out how to use Gboard without this happening?

Twas the night before Christmas

and all through the house

everyone felt shitty

even the mouse.

With mom at the whore house

and dad smokin grass

I settled down

for a nice piece of ass

when out on the lawn

arose such a clatter

I sprang from my piece

to see what was the matter

and out on the lawn

I seen some big dick

and I knew in a moment

it must be St.Nick

he flew down my chimney like a bat out of hell

and i knew in a moment

the fucker had fell

He filled all our stocking with pretzels and beer

and a big rubber dick

for my brother, the queer.

then he rose up the chimney with a thunderous fart

the son of a bitch blew my chimney apart

cussing and cursing as he rode out of sight.

pissing on all

having one hell of a night.

 
 

Just curious if anyone else has had issues with their track pads on the OLED models.

My left side touch pad doesn't "depress" down at all in the middle, and requires much more force around the sides to depress down and "click". If you go by the haptic pressure measurement, the right side will click at around 3,000 anywhere on the pad,, but the left side takes about 10,000 around the edges and never does in the middle.

 

All of a sudden my clutch went from totally normal to very hard to press down. It's now been this way for quite a long time. It's a hydraulic clutch (clutch was replaced by a shop a few months prior to the issue, but me and the shop....did not get along.) in an 06 tribute with a 4 cylinder motor.

Looking for what I'll need done in order to not have to break my leg to shift the thing. Thanks.

I figure it's something the shop didn't do correctly, as it was supposed to have new flywheel, pressure plate, clutch disc, pilot bearing and throw-out bearing but there's no way to verify they replaced it all or did it correctly and the problem started suddenly about 3 months later.
