The stingiest airlines are charging for water {Slashfood}
Aug 19th 2008 10:49AM Be careful about trying to fill up your own water bottle if you fly internationally. In Mexico if you buy a can of soda from the soda machine a foot away from the gate after you go through security they will still take it from you at the gate, even if it's still closed.
For domestic travel this will work, but overseas it might not.
Atlus to inject PS2 with Eternal Poison this November {Joystiq}
Aug 5th 2008 12:36PM Holy crap.
For every battle there is that much loading time? That just put my interest at the game down to 0. It looks awesome but I'd be throwing things if I had to wait that long multiple times every turn.
Brand gasoline: worth a few pennies more? {WalletPop}
Apr 23rd 2008 12:11PM Go see if you can find the Modern Marvels l show on the gas pipeline that runs across the country. Almost all gasoline comes from the same exact source and none of it is any different.
Here's the best link I can find on it: http://store.aetv.com/html/product/index.jhtml?id=71141
They way it works is that a company puts their product into the loading point somewhere in the Gulf of Mexico and that earns them credits for taking gas out at the other end. They don't wait around for the gas to come out the other end, they take those credits and use it to take out whatever is coming out at the time they need it. So everyone is putting stuff in and everyone is taking other stuff out.
Then there are the additives. It's the same thing. At the pickup location the trucks go to a bunch of containers and they all get the same additives, just in different levels and combinations.
Bionic Commando Rearmed pricing, platforms, specs revealed {Joystiq}
Mar 18th 2008 1:33PM I wonder if they will add a jump button for us in DLC form.

We went to this a few years ago here in NJ, it was a load of fun.
How to make wine taste better: Pay more for it {WalletPop}
Jan 18th 2008 8:44AM Maybe they didn't like it more but felt socially compelled to say that it tasted better the more it costs. Peer pressure or some kind of need to feel accepted by a class of people who associate high price with good quality.
Junk.
That scene from American Psycho (book) tells it best. He takes a urinal cake, covers it in chocolate, and puts it into an expensive box and tells someone that it's a high priced treat. She eats it because she is told its very expensive, its garbage but because of its high price it must be good and therefore if she does not like it then something must be wrong with her taste.
Anyone who has had the $2 (now $4 thanks to inflation) wine from Trader Joe's knows that great wine can be had at a good price.
I'm a bad credit card customer, and I like it that way {WalletPop}
Jan 9th 2008 8:21AM Oof.. so I wonder what they consider me. I pay off my bill in full every single month and I get the 3% cash back and with that I save it up to get a bonus $50 back from them as well.
I might be beyond non-profit and go into the loss category.
Reminder: Rez HD is a trip {Joystiq}
Dec 23rd 2007 9:01AM And here I was thinking that they subtly threw in a comment about the game Synaesthete.

Mass Effect sex scene is SFW {Joystiq}
Nov 8th 2007 2:27PM How the f**k did that end in a sex scene? They are just talking about junk, she says thanks, and then it jumps right into a sex scene. It came out of no where and makes no sense at all in that short clip. How stupid.
