We can't tell you who squealed, but it was one of the dozen employees at this McDonald's. Probably the one that's going to change jobs soon...

I'd be pissed and scared if I was an employee at that McDonald's

Why wait so long and not get found earlier or not long enough for the reward to increase by a lot? It's in a weird time frame.

Why risk traveling to PA where someone else might spot you first? Maybe crossing state lines increased reward?

People will do a lot for money. My guess is someone is paying this guy's family to take the fall because they do not want one of the highest profile murders in recent history to go "unsolved"

Willy Loman would take the fall for money for his family

Imagine letting the world know you could shoot a CEO in the middle of NY and get away with it. They would much rather everyone believe life is like CSI and they always get the shooter. Worth a lot to them to keep up the security theater.

Couple days pass. The shooter got away and probably not going to turn themselves in to get the soap box.

The guy could be the next Guy Fawkes if they let it get out of hand

Couldn't he just change the skeleton to be sharp at the front and then pull forcefully?

Adamantium gets really sharp.

Magneto could easily pull a razor blade through a pineapple and not have the pineapple move.

It would be like the razor blade starting in the pineapple

Enough force and sharpness, wolverine's body wouldn't move at all. Slice through everything like jello.

Imagine a baseball going through a jello cube. At some speed (since you can't change the mass of the baseball) the baseball would theoretically clear out a perfect baseball size hole and leave the jello cube perfectly stationary.

It could be like shooting a bullet through it. There's not much disturbance of the entire jello cube.

A blunt skeleton would theoretically just throw out big chunks of skin ahead of the skeleton. Kind of like picture.

The real question is how much force can magneto create

Magneto slowly pushes a coin into Shaw's head. Low speed = less force. Coin small and blunt. Magneto has to be able to create a ton of force.

I feel like if I were a tea drinker, it would be a no-brainer to get one over using a kettle every morning.

You can buy a whole unit on a large website for 302.43. Just a place at the top searches. So maybe cheaper somewhere else.

Most people are going to have power for their dishwasher or garbage disposal

Getting a hole in the countertop would be the hardest DIY part about it.

Non-stone countertop, and I'd probably charge like $200 to put it in for like 1 hour of work at most.

It's easily worth 300-500 dollars to get instant tea every morning for years.

Better yet installing a small filter water system while you're at it. While plumber is there, it would be easy to add both at the same time and you'd get a discount rather than doing them at separate times.

The 302.43 unit comes with "cold" tap water dispensing as well. You could have filtered "cold" tap water on demand as well with the single faucet.

It's an amazing upgrade for a house if you can afford it. I do see some electric kettles for <$10. Apparently, some you can keep plugged in and running always, didn't know that. Sounds risky unless you get an expensive one and they you should probably just go all out for the faucet.

I enjoy my under sink instant hot water heater.

It can produce 14 liters of water at 70 to 100°C per hour.

I never need to boil water really on the stove, fill a pot and let it boil for like spaghetti. But for like instant raman noodles, just adding the water in a bowl with it works perfectly fine.

I live in America and they aren't the most common thing installed in kitchens

Is there an advantage of a kettle over instant 100°C water on tap? Couldn't you just use it to make tea?

I play mostly on my Xbox. I got all my games and stuff downloaded on that.

If I am playing a PC game, it would be SC2, and I don't use steam. Haven't since CS source.

I carry around the keyboard always with my tablet because it's the screen protector when closed. There's no way I'd carry a separate keyboard and play SC2 on a 7.4 inch screen, that sounds miserable.

[–] Sludgeyy 1 points 2 months ago (2 children)

It's probably similar. You could just use your phone and controller. My phone screen 6.8 inches, not the best ratio, but the steamdeck is only 7.4 inches.

Like I've been saying, they are basically the same.

Yeah, a laptop can get left out of the equation. Tablet or phone are better.

I don't need a docking station to hook my tablet to TV. I can even stream my tablet screen wirelessly to TV.

Carrying around the docking station goes against it being portable.

Theoretically, all I need is my tablet or phone. 1 item. The controller helps with some games.

You keep saying 3 items...and because my xbox weighs 10+ pounds.

My tablet weighs 1.6 pounds. Steamdeck is 1.48 pounds. Xbox controller weighs .63 pounds.

You're talking about half a pound difference in weight. Tablet takes little to no space and the controller probably half of the steamdeck.

Steamdeck would be great for rides on the subway, walking, and maybe some other things where you need to be fully mobile. I get that aspect of it. Though I can easily pull out just my tablet and play a ton of games that aren't "mobile games"

I've been gaming like this for longer than the steamdeck has been out. I saw the steamdeck and said "why would I want that?" And never got one.

The Xbox processes the game.

Tablet just streams screen and sends inputs from/to Xbox.

So you don't really need an extreme tablet/phone/laptop

Im bringing my tablet/phone anywhere I'm going, so having a steamdeck would just be an extra thing to carry and worry about charging.

You can do on-screen controls that aren't bad for some games. Otherwise, Xbox controller.

The controller in the steamdeck has to kill its battery life some. 2 extra AA batteries, and I could use my Xbox controller for weeks.

I'd rather have 4x the screen size and not have to hold it the entire time while being semi-mobile. I'm not going to walk around and play on a steamdeck, maybe some do and then that's a plus on the steamdeck.

Steam deck is nice and I can see why people enjoy it. My thing is why more people don't like tablet/phone/laptop gaming and talk about the steamdeck like it's a game changer.

My tablet is basically my PC at home. I can access and do everything remotely, including gaming.

I don't need to bring my Xbox around. Simply open the xbox app and my Xbox screen is now on my tablet anywhere I'm at.

My tablet can stream onto bigger displays or even stream my PC.

You don't need to carry around the console

I can use my phone or tablet as a portable screen for my Xbox

Can even use it as a portable screen for my PC

Why would I want a steam deck vs having a bigger tablet screen and a controller I don't have to stare at?

Portability, but the steamdeck is as portable as my tablet if it can't fit it into a pocket.

A smoker would definitely want to switch to their tobacco flavor

However,

A smoker that tries tobacco flavor does not want to switch to tobacco flavor

Smokers enjoy their cigarette's flavor. If they could just get it in a vape many would.

Expecting a smoker to be like "I wish my cigarette tasted like Mint Mojito". Is crazy.

So I do believe that the majority of the responses are tobacco flavor

Just doesn't mean what they think it means

Many would just try tobacco flavor, hate it, and move back to cigarettes.
