They even mention in the article, just above the cut, that they're afraid this article will get paywalled lol

And below the cut, that they're aware of the irony, but surely people who pay for journalism can see why journalism is important, which is like.. good point, I guess. Sometimes the system sucks and we have to work with what we have.

No, it's not supposed to make it better. It's worse. "His tunnels are oozing with sludge" is mysterious, meant to draw readers in. The truth is, like every goddamn thing he's ever done, he's mismanaged it so hard and cut so many corners that he's caused yet another entirely predictable, entirely preventable industrial disaster.

I can hate Elon Musk and clickbait at the same time, mate.

The solution to stick drift is buying controllers with Hall Effect joysticks; drift is caused by plastic parts literally grinding down and potentiometers wearing out. Hall Effect sticks don't make contact, so they don't have this issue. Since you like the Xbox layout, 8BitDo's Ultimate controller could be a good third-party option for you.

These are wildly different medications. Meth is occasionally used for ADHD when nothing else works, but it requires careful medical supervision, for life. A pharmacist subbing out your amphetamine salts for meth will go to jail. Adderal is not meth, any more than caffeine is adrenaline, or morphine is fentanyl.

You say you "have family" with ADHD; do you mean you have multiple different family members on different medications? Because 9 outta 10 times someone tells me they know someone on "meth" for ADHD, they've misread methylphenadate; Ritalin.

Why the fuck would I have any attachment to a company that has no attachment to me? Eat dicks.

The point is that it's extremely common practice to call your ISP and tell them you're cancelling so they'll send you to Retentions and you can get a few more months at "50% off" (a reasonable price). This would be included in those "3/4 people stay", but those were never actually going to cancel anyway, they only say they are so they don't have to pay the insanely inflated sticker price.

Clearly it's 2051 AG (Age of the Galacticsingularity)

That's why there's only one guy, the other two finally aged out.

Because Earth never faced an extinction-level Cyborg War, pretty much. I'm of the opinion that the primary reason for the Federation's ban on genetic engineering is Earth's enduring trauma from the Eugenics War.
