Hmm… the issue with a smaller Switch invariably means a smaller battery. Also, the Joycons are quite small as it is.

It’ll probably sell, as Switches are wont to do, but I wouldn’t see myself in the market for one, were I in the market for a new Switch,

Reminds me of cigarette companies burying research on lung disease.

Serious question:

Would anything short of that lead to reform? I’m not eager for a second Great Depression, but considering we can’t even pretend to get climate change under control, I can’t see the 1% changing their policies until it hurts them, and bad.

Gotta love those distant goals that allow the current administration to say they've done something… and allowing the next to undo it.

I mean, everyone’s back from Thanksgiving with family. Next up is Christmas.

Luthor in Flash’s Body: I have no idea who this is.

I believe the antivax movement was able to take root because the US has cultivated an intense distrust of the medical system.

• You pay high medical insurance premiums only to get denied when it’s time to cash in.

• You avoid calling for an ambulance because the ride alone will bankrupt you.

• You go to the ER only to get hundreds of dollars in fine for over the counter Tylenol.

The public was trained by the medical institutions to look for any excuse to reject them. The antivax movement was a way to express that distrust, even if unconsciously. Politicians simply lit that major oil spill and gave it a voice.

Likewise, we live in a capitalistic hellscape where no one can afford homes and cars to take them to jobs where they’re underpaid and can be let go in an instant, not due to performance, but because an executive wanted another tax break on the dragon money hoard they refuse to put back into the economy.

Like with the antivaxers, we have been conditioned to expect the worst and that impacts our gut reactions.

I’ve never heard of this guy, but the description sounds right up my ally. I feel like I have a hard time finding humorous fiction. It either ends up being humorous non-fiction or the author is under the misconception that a protagonist being inconvenienced by an in-law counts as humor.

Is this guy’s series any good, and do you guys have any other authors I might want to look into with a preferred emphasis on humor and mystery.

Morgan Stanley sees two potential outcomes for housing prices next year.

One, if mortgage rates slide from their peak this year, the housing market could see demand ramp up, pushing prices up another 5% in 2024.

On the other hand, if mortgage rates remain high and the U.S. enters a recession, that will scare off homebuyers and home prices will recede more.

So effectively, either way, they will remain out of reach.

While I’m personally not a fan of Khan, I’m glad this series is going to see the light of day. If this old Variety Article is to believed, it was originally going to be a full streaming series. And we’re almost on the cusp of Academy.

Inertial Dampeners failing means the ship can no longer remain at warp. (Ship would be fine, the meat bags of mostly water would not) Trek is usually pretty consistent about that part.

The threat of mutual annihilation has discouraged us from nuking each other.

But I question the durability of that policy as the equator becomes less and less able to support life.
