What are some items that really aren't worth paying the expensive version for?
  • Eh, I can't fault it too much considering tires usually last over a thousand miles and most people buying a walmart bike aren't riding thousands of miles.

    I don't agree with the general sentiment though, riding a well-maintained aluminum frame bike after thousands of miles on a slow ass walmart bike is such a different experience.

  • My walmart bike's downtube failed as I was riding it up a small incline. Not even at a weld, just right in the middle.

    Didn't even know that was a part that could fail.

    Had to replace the tires because the treads wore through once so it probably got more use than walmart bikes are built for.

    "If you tell a lie big enough and tell it frequently enough, people will eventually come to believe it". What is an example of this happening today?
  • That's one of the wildest ones, like it just bypasses the critical thinking part of their brains. "Yes, there's a town in North Korea surrounded by fake fields, which are harvested by fake farmers. They all live in fake homes and go into a fake school that that has power but don't have any windows."

    Microsoft is killing its Windows VR platform — announces deprecation of 'Windows Mixed Reality'
  • Fucking hell.

    Surely they're gonna have some kind of long term option and not just turn millions of 600 dollar consumer devices into bricks right?

    Guess HP wasn't finished fucking over me with their printers, they had to tie the best headset at that pricepoint to Microsoft.

    Sorry I can't help myself.
  • On the bridge of the USS Voyager:

    Janeway: What are you... Is he?

    Jeffry, you're still on the viewscreen, we can see you.

    JEFFRY YOU HAVE TO END THE TRANSMISSION!

    God dammit he turned off his own screen...

    "We thought after we made it there the enemy would flee, but it didn't turn out that way."
  • Shit, anyone remember how mad they got over the Afghani puppet gov't not continuing to send men to die fighting a war even their master intended for them to lose?

    We're seeing how the media would have reacted if they decided to reach the same outcome while sacrificing an entire generation of young men (and now women).

    A classic software development story
  • Nope.

    Oh, and I forgot to mention, Ronald Reagan's admin was the reason NASA had to launch so quickly, he wanted to mention it during the State Of The Union Address.

    We're lucky that he didn't give someone a medal for blowing up a passenger aircraft (again).
