Occam's razor doesn't apply because a flat earth is an exceedingly complex and irregular explanation for the even the most basic naked eye astronomical observations we can make.

Plugs, connectors, and cables often break, corrode, get vandalized, etc. The physical connections on most of the electronic devices I've owned have been the first thing to fail. The wireless connections and wireless charging has NEVER been something that I've ever had to worry about physically breaking. I'd wage that infrastructure maintenance is going to cost much more in the long run than the cost of inefficiency introduced by wireless charging.

That's fucking amazing. I love it. I want games like that for real now (they say, knowing full well that historically games made from movie and TV IP have been largely awful, alas):

• Asteroids, but with Star Wars ships.
• Galaga, but you fly voyager through Borg space, trans warp conduits, etc. Occasionally you pick up a clone or alternate timeline Voyager to fight along side you.
• Space invaders I think would also be a good with a Starship Troopers skin and bugs lobbing rocks at your bases, could also be good in the style of Scorched Earth (or Worms Armageddon).
• An Apple II style text only adventure game in Deep Space Nine.
• A farming/trading/city sim on Babylon 5.
• Civilization, but it's Babylon 5, Star Trek, or Star Wars, Dune, etc.
• Old school 2.5D Zelda adventure game, but it's Firefly or The Expanse.
• A Mario Bros. game but it's Farscape.
• Mario kart, also Farscape.
• Leisure Suit Larry in the style of Lexx.

It's because the precision is overstated in the conversion to imperial. If they're going to convert units they could at least give the correct significant digits. It should have read (if one insists on not just leaving it in metric):

• Operational altitude: nearly 1 mile (1.5km)
• Weight: Under 1 ton (imperial or metric. Take your pick, it hardly matter.)

NJ won't even let them pump gas.

Why should anyone bother replying to your bat shit crazy questions if you're just going to delete the post out of shame a few days later?

The only Star Trek or Star Wars shirt I currently own is black with yellow gold lettering saying "Star Trek" in the Star Wars font. I think it makes some people uncomfortable. My S.O. hates it. I think it's hilarious and I know immediately what type of "nerd" I'm dealing with based on people's reactions to it. I suspect most people don't realize it's a joke or they are worried that I don't know it's a joke.

Why is the thumbnail preview throbbing?

You're specifically crafting a definition for disappeared that does not correspond to the idea that OP is talking about. They are not using disappeared in that kind of literal way. Another turn of phrase or word that they could have used would be "swept under the rug", "downplayed", "minimized" "dismissed", "de-emphasized". Maybe disappeared isn't the perfect word, but there's no need to be so hung up on your own definition specifically crafted to support misunderstanding. That kind of rhetoric is a kind of arguing in bad faith.

I really enjoy the killer sudoku, but the engine that drives it is unfortunately absolute garbage. I suffer through it, but the gameplay gets tedious fast because of the engine. The settings seem to leans towards either constantly filling and changing the cell candidates I've chosen or becoming tedious by not removing obvious and trivial candidates. Like for killer sudoku it automatically fills candidates up to and including the number being summed; e.g. the total for a zone is 7, it removes 8 and 9 but not the 7 itself which can be trivially excluded from any zone with more than one box. If I left the game automate too much it mangles the candidates I've already selected, especially if I ever need to use the undo option because I inevitably fat fingered a digit. Haven't found much better on mobile online though, especially for killer sudoku.

Do I really even want to know what LinkedIn games are?
