Defying the Supreme Court would set an extraordinarily terrible precedent. This only works if the masses are doing the defying. And it's incredibly risky, as the Republicans would very quickly follow suit

For that matter, why is waist size a Boolean?

Headline doesn't seem to match the story, does it?

Starcraft isn't too hard. Play the single player campaign.

If you're smart, you'll avoid the multiplayer scene entirely. It's the players that make it not fun. The game itself is pretty great.

Play with friends you know, don't get into it with random assholes on the Internet. They ruin the fun of every game once a "professional" scene pops up

The point isn't the "excuse", it's the criticism over him not having full power behind his voice during the debate being irrelevant.

Which is incidentally the only real criticism I could see this morning, beyond people falsely claiming he was incoherent. Which he absolutely was not.

The biggest thing people are complaining about was Biden was a little hoarse against Trump's booming nonsensical rambling.

I don't care if Biden was hoarse. At Trump's best, he made no sense, and at his worst, he was pushing terrible ideologies

How is it that the general response to this debate is "Trump rambled nonsensically and told conflicting lies and wants to undermine democracy, but Biden was recovering from a cold, so he's unfit."

Like in what world are these issues comparable?

Received dirt on the American Democrat party from the Russians and released it during the election to help Trump.

He said he received stuff on the Republicans as well, but it was "not interesting" and didn't publish it. Didn't really support his stated goal of transparency.

I remember that marketing campaign. Windows Vista had a shaky launch, because the hardware manufacturers hadn't polished the Vista-compatible drivers yet. 6 months later, they had caught up, but people still had a bad taste from it.

So when service pack 1 came out, Microsoft made a reskinned version of it and started an ad campaign with "customers" claiming "Windows 7 was my idea!" and the public ate it up.

I've been watching a lot of programs from the 60s and 70s lately, and Columbo is a great one. There's something so calming and disarming about the entire tone of the show, which Peter Falk fits perfectly into.

It's interesting, because after you've watched a few episodes, it becomes a great "background" show, with its low intensity. But if you're paying attention to it, despite the recurring themes each episode, they change things up enough that it doesn't get old like some shows from the period can be prone to do.

I'm not sure they could pull off the same vibe of a show quite as successfully today, but that's not so bad because there's so much existing material to go back and watch.

It's available on Prime video for anyone who's looking to give it a try

Perhaps this will be unpopular, but it was all Raul Julia. He definitely out-Gomezed John Astin, but Carolyn Jones was something else.

I don't mean to sleight Anjelica Huston, but it would be difficult to fail working opposite Raul, and Carolyn Jones was frequently the one carrying John Astin in the series.

Not to speak ill of Astin either, because he was good, but he played it differently
