Follow up question: Do you just leave this thing filled with water all the time or do you empty it out at the end of the day?
Our water kettle broke and we're just going to speedrun into being old Asians by getting one of these to replace it. Anyone have one? Should we get a 3l or 4l?

So the interesting to me here is that, at least when I covered this game, I did my best to hammer in that Crimson Desert is a single-player RPG, and this info has been shared, but audiences still just, don't believe it? Yet another complication in the work of writing game news.
Realizing that in most people's eyes this game is still an MMO spinoff. Last time I talked with PR they were clear: it's a singleplayer RPG pretty much fully detached from Black Desert.

MLS is back this week, which will be a nice reprieve from my Premier League suffering. Also excited to watch the CONCACAF Champions Cup for the first time ever. The most prestigious competition in the Northwestern Hemisphere.

Between streaming, live service, and AI, businesses have just fundamentally forgotten how to make real money in favor of chasing theoretical money. And until business remember simple stuff like, "You can produce a cheap season of TV every year if you want" we're going to keep seeing layoffs.

F2... No, wait.
Producer Jerry Bruckheimer confirmed he is "working on a sequel" to F1, though did not share further details. It's unknown, too, whether star Brad Pitt will return for the second film. https://bit.ly/4qpfzjT

I’ve spoken to at least a dozen people across the world who learned English through US video games or TV shows like FRIENDS.
I’ve also had weird conversations with people who genuinely believe that healthcare is better (or free) in the US, or that they could move there and become a millionaire.
