I think we need more of everything else (except Linux and Star Trek) rather than less politics.

The real killer feature was not having to manage cd keys to install games on new computers or just reinstall them.

In the sense that the US is a product of British colonialism then yes. Global communication wasn’t anywhere near robust until the empire was in decline.

Every major infrastructure project that involves tunneling or digging runs into massive cost overruns, so basing the number on a cost estimate is already fishy. 100x is probably overkill, but not absurdly so. US infrastructure averages 8-12x more than elsewhere in the world, and it’s getting worse. New York adding less than two miles of track to their subway still cost more than double the estimate. California is spending infinite money on a rail line that may never exist.

Would you rather spend $100 for a 5% chance of losing power for 4-8 hours per year, or spend $10,000 dollars for a .1% chance of losing power for a minimum of 2 days?

Shootas Blood and Teef. A 40k themed side scrolling shooter with very heavy stylized graphics. If you like 40k it’s a good insight in how orks see themselves. If you don’t like 40k it’s still a mechanically solid game and it doesn’t really have the same grimdarkness that is common in 40k games.

Companies don’t stop hiring, at least in tech. They can force out more expensive talent and hire in cheaper areas or get more junior talent. You could very well interview your potential replacement.

I think it should require some proof that there was mutual intent to prevent or end a pregnancy, but otherwise it seems reasonable.

Texting on my old stratosphere was so much better than the modern keyboards. I wouldn’t mind an updated version.

There are anti-slapp laws to help with this, but they aren’t always used appropriately.

That’s not actually a solid defense as “fictional” characters that are obviously someone that exists can still be ruled libel. A common informal defense is to give the fictional person a small penis. It doesn’t change anything legally, but it does require someone suing you to admit in court that they have a small penis.

I don’t mind RNG, I mind games that rely on it over proper design. Xcom has tons of RNG, but it’s generally still possible to win most maps with proper strategy. Most roguelikes have this problem where any given run is impossible to win regardless of play.

I do appreciate the games that give you quit and quit to desktop in the same menu.

• Games that offer stealth as an option over combat, but have mandatory combat bosses.
• games that have excessive grinding as part of the main gameplay.
• Games where randomness is the primary factor in winning and losing.

AI chat bots are actually a useful workaround for shitty web uis now. When you don’t know which icon is hiding the thing you want, you can just ask the AI to do it for you.

He was a pro skater in the early days. Made a bunch of prank and stunt videos that eventually got him on jackass, where he was mostly just an ass to others. Then he got a reality show about being a dick to his family. He never got clean when the rest of jackass started getting clean and was forced out.

Better not let Bam know you have glue to huff

Valerian and the city of a thousand planets. It’s an amazing setting and if you put some leads with actual chemistry in a sequel it could do well.

They are playing in Florida outdoors, the temperature isn’t super relevant apparently.
