  • They did exactly that, except they changed the name of the original subscription to "classic" and upgraded everyone to the more expensive plan without asking.

    This is actually illegal in some countries, and I hope they get fined for it.

  • Because this is possibly the first known time we have recorded audio of a meteorite hitting the ground, but it's not the first time we have recorded the vision of a meteorite hitting the ground.

  • Flashback

    I played it on the SNES. It's a sci-fi platformer that I felt shared themes with movies like Total Recall, They Live, Blade Runner, Running Man.

    You start as Conrad, who has crash landed on Titan, being chased by mysterious bad guys, and with no memory of why. All you have is a gun, and a video recording of yourself telling you where to go for the next clue.

  • Thanks Jaden

  • They released it in such a state that Sony removed it from their store and offered full refunds.

  • I bought a cheap white led strip from AliExpress to make an edge light around the bathroom mirror. A few cuts, a bit of soldering, and I made some discrete corners pieces with my 3D printer. Double sided tape for a semi permanent install.

    So simple, but the results are great. It's ZigBee as well so I can add it to the smart home if a need arises.

  • But they only didn't happen because you stayed cautious. Now your younger self will throw caution to the wind and suffer the consequences.

  • That happened at my workplace. The ATO was notified, and after a lengthy investigation each staff member were repaid tens of thousands of dollars, including the extra that would have been generated through super growth.

    The ATO does not muck around.

  • I don't think people are yearning for a dystopian future.

  • I think all of those applications will, or already have, develop independently of something like Facebook metaverse. If anything meta is taking those useful applications and trying to turn it into a household product that nobody needs.

  • That just gets me excited to start a fresh new seasoning. Starting from bare metal is a good feeling

  • A Dark Quiet Death from Mythic Quest.

    Nearly totally removed from the rest of the show, it's about relationships, sacrifice, integrity, compromise. For a comedy show about video games, this episode hit hard and made me reflect on past relationships and really broke me down. A reminder to take responsibility of your actions when you feel like the blame is external.

    Then there's a very brief end scene that puts it in context with the regular cast.

    This episode should have won an award.

  • I'm not kidding, one time I saw that and the first result was back to that thread where the only answer was to Google it.

  • They really should have used the word "static" instead of stable. Stable definitely has connotations of functional stability, and unstable of functional instability.

  • Oh right, the "hit by a truck" cliche.

  • Aren't they introduced as special effects artists in the intro of every episode?

  • The quote is misquoting the analogy. It is an infinite number of monkeys.

    The point of the analogy is about randomness and infinity. Any page of gibberish is equally as likely as a word perfect page of Shakespeare given equal weighting to the entry if characters. There are factors introduced with the behaviours of monkeys and placement of keys, but I don't think that is the point of the analogy.

  • At a public awareness March in my country a speaker claimed COVID was racist because it disproportionately killed indigenous peoples.

    You could argue that is correlation, where the cause was actually being unvaccinated. This was an antivax march, so obviously it was the government's fault, not being unvaccinated.

  • Please quit with this tax write off misinformation.

    They cut their losses. We don't know the details why, but for some reason they decided it would cost too much in money or reputation to continue with marketing and release.

    Not everything is a billionaire conspiracy. Sometimes they just realise they made a film too shit to release, or some person in a suit just wanted to spite someone.
