All these mistakes grind my gears, but this one is especially bad. Some of them make sense because of the way the word is pronounced.

Who is out there saying costumers instead of customers? Nobody says it like that.

This article specifically mentioned only changes to the computer hardware, not the cameras.

Good way for people to remember the difference! Even my wife had this one mixed up for a while, and she's very sensitive to confrontation. So I confronted her and she was angry for a bit but now she says it correctly.

I have a good friend who thinks teetotal means very drunk when it actually means no alcohol consumption whatsoever. I've brought it up to him a couple times and he reacts negatively. I haven't heard him say it since the second time.

I don't want to be a stick in the mud about these things, I just want people to improve their communication so they are respected and taken seriously.

If I see something like a there/their/they're mistake I just stop reading the comment. Probably unfair of me but I just disregard the person's opinion. And before anyone wants to tell me that not everyone speaks English as a first language, it's actually native speakers who make that mistake. People who learned English later in life generally know the difference.

You gotta try it. It's so cool. The scale is smaller and you can occupy buildings. Playing as the rebel faction you have suicide bombers and technicals that can upgrade in the field from scavenged parts. The fuel air bomb from the other faction is very satisfying. It's my all time favorite RTS.

I doubt there's DVI on that CRT. But I don't care about the extra cables this is great art.

Lowe's is a huge chain of pretty good hardware stores in the US. It seems like all the other big names support terrible politics so I always try to go to Lowe's unless I can't find something there and have to go somewhere else. And I go a lot for work.

There's a free PC remaster that is said to be excellent. I'm trying to learn how to get it to work. It's been years since I fucked with emulators.

Command and Conquer: Generals was and remains the shit.

This is interesting. I'm an atheist but I'd like to read more about what seems to be a Christian political ally. Anyone got some good info?

They've sent a lot of weapons compared to their GDP. Probably only behind the US on that ratio.

They could OD just from looking at you. They are highly susceptible.

MK Ultra. Not nearly as fun as you might imagine. The wiki article doesn't even get into the depths of depraved insanity. The Behind the Bastards episodes really get in deep. Some of their best work in my opinion.
