Man, do I have some bad news for you. These guys have been at it for a few years now: https://www.replicastudios.com/ And the list is growing quickly.

I envy that you have never experienced missing "key" pieces.

Understandable. I am pretty selective when it comes to a kit. Dare I say autistic? Box condition is a consideration, along with down to how I open them. It's noticeable.

I am totally on the same page with you. It definitely boils down to what are you doing. There are a ton of cool pieces these days that would've been a pipe dream when we were kids.…

I am fully aware of the customer service side of lego. That's why I still use their stuff. But I suppose that is where our agreement will lie. Knowing what they are capable of and …

I don't have children and I do all sorts of kits besides lego; with even smaller pieces. Either I have bad luck or I am careless. But you'd think with multiple decades under my bel…

I wish I could say the same. The extra little guys is to be expected. I am talking about key pieces to the puzzle.

I go on some wild stints. But if I had to average it out; somewhere around 10-20 kits a year.

I have a new metric when it comes to lego kits these days. How many stickers are in the kit? And honestly it's too damn high. I have been pretty vocal to lego about this in the pas…

The irony is I can use steam link with an ipad. On top of that I can use it as a second monitor for when I am on the go among some other productivity. From what I saw with the visi…

Thinking about it. If apple had dropped their vision pro with something like you can play Half Life Alyx on it like they did with Death Stranding with the M2chip/M3? they might hav…

> Hiring managers who want to make rejections feel less impersonal can do it by sharing the news in an email initially and then offering a phone call for feedback if the person wan…

I'll stick to boiling water and purification tabs thanks. If I'm feeling like I haven't done a good job, I guess I can run it through your filter.

I prefer silent keyboards. Mechanical boards drive me up a wall.

Exactly. Being poor is its own kind of prison.

The government will garnish your wages and any benefits such as social security to the end of your life.

I once got a spoofed call from the number 666-2012. They told me I was going to hell with an obviously modulated voice. I just replied, "Finally!!" The person on the other end didn…

Understandably and I concur. However, I haven't met anyone outside of the apple company that would pronounce it OS 10. That being said, they don't even use the nomenclature anymore…

Reminds me of the OS X logo honestly. Maybe apple has a leg to stand on in terms of trademark? Though I find that highly doubtful due to it being a letter of the alphabet.

Yeah and Bell Labs had developed cellular technology in the late 40s. When did we get commercial use for that tech? Oh yeah, nearly 40 years later.

Yeah that's the big rub. Once apple abandoned their 32bit systems so did all the developers including mozilla. I was able to find pale moon. That worked for a time, but even those …

My main issue with apple is the lack of backwards compatibility. They sort of plugged that hole, but I was running mountain lion for a good chunk of time and over time things just …

Where I see the benefit is in dialogue replacement. It takes a lot of time to call back an actor to the stage after they have finished the project. They might have moved onto anoth…

My mistake was speaking with an audio consumer and not an engineer.

If you're sending audio and audio only then sure. Wouldn't be my solution from my professional opinion though.
