Legally, the fact that you didn't hang up the phone after that disclaimer means you consented.

RIP Defect 😭

This is insurance manifest!

I'm with you about not anthropomorphizing faceless companies as the bad actors here, but also I really doubt the CEO was the one who enacted this decision. It probably came from some middle manger who clicked "yes" on some report they didn't actually read.

Factorio has seen tons of bugs in its development. It just so happens that the developers are some of the most effective bug squashers in the world of software development.

Agree on both points

Kerbal "mod spaghetti" program

Yeah apparently I just got ripped tf off with the ssd I just bought.

Storage IS cheap these days, but 1c/GB is not true.

The knuckles/rogue levels were a cool concept but the execution was flawed. I enjoyed them for the most part.

Was gonna say, I didn't see any of the three chao boxes on that level, though they didn't go out of their way to get them since that wasn't the point of the demo.

But the Chao garden is the reason I occasionally revisit this game.

Yes.

The followup question is "how many people think getting their hands wet without soap is sufficient hand-washing" and the answer is not terribly comforting.

Humans have been drinking/cooking cows' milk for over ten thousand years. That's not the kind of worldwide cultural change you just snap your fingers and call it done.

Not to mention the food shortage it would cause to just get rid of one of the most common foods worldwide.

Went out for lunch and ordered WAY too much (I ordered the lunch special which I thought came with one entree, but instead got a lunch special AND an entree) so I'm skipping dinner today.

But lunch was a full serving of goat korma, plus small portions of dal, rice, tandoori chicken, some curry I don't remember, a samosa, rice, and naan. Ate till I was full and took home lots of leftovers.

Coincidentally, that will also be tomorrow's lunch ben😅

For a similar reason that most coaches don't actually participate with the athletes they're training: their job is to watch the athletes, look for gaps in their technique, and help them to address those. You can't look for that as effectively if you're swimming alongside them compared to standing on the side of the pool.

But yeah, all "learn HOW to swim" lessons I've ever seen have the instructor in the water with the student, because they have to be like 25% teacher 75% lifeguard.

If a company is going bankrupt as a result of hosting a video service, they're not going to be able to afford to archive and make it available for download either.

There's a nice whiskey in my cabinet I haven't had occasion to pop open for a while...

Yeah, not my job to educate you dude.

Wow. Pretty problematic.

I was gonna say, that sounds like the modus operandi at his one company that's legitimately successful underneath the hype.
