I am not sure it's fair to equate the xbox 360 with the current generation which is the Xbox Series X/S, which was preceded by the Xbox One X/S, so the 360 is two base iterations o…

Alternatively, I wouldn't want to be in a club that was lame enough to accept me. :)

This would have saved me a lot of mental anguish about 2 years ago, my phone screen died and I needed about 5 authenticators that were on it just to clock in at my (remote) job and…

What is your definition of processed food? Are potatoes processed because they are cleaned? Is chicken breast processed because the chicken is plucked? Is vinegar processed because…

Echoes of Terry Pratchett: Archaeologists are excited for this find because it comes with a visitor's center and a parking lot.

People you don't know are boring. Most people are full of surprises, unique insights, traits, and perspectives, if given enough time in the right setting. An increasing rarity at t…

Somewhat ironically you are underestimating the amount of effort it takes to be as universally reviled as that person. Presumably because you, like most people, have never been in …

There is a (likely small) chance that you lost your keys in an unknown or lost oil/gas well. So yes, in theory.
