Sure a CEO does other shit. It's all the same stuff a manager would do. You really think that if daddy Musk vanished the literal rocket scientists working there wouldn't be able to keep doing their work? The trained accountants and managerial staff would curl up under their desks unable to carry on? The value of a CEO is both real, and extremely overstated. They'd have a new CEO before the end of the month.

In a nutshell, yes he runs the company. No it isn't some badge of genius, he manages a company. Many other people are just as, if not more qualified.

If he keeled over dead SpaceX would keep functioning as it is held up by the actual employees who do the actual work. All a CEO does is provide goals, directions, and demands for more profits. They're a glorified overpaid manager and those are not in short supply.

When you say "the government barely works" this kind of shit is why. You can't have less taxes, less federal workers, and a better more capable government. This is why the GOP isn't good for the economy in the long run. They do what most shitty ceo's do. Cut costs, cut jobs, demand more work for less money, and ruin the long term prospects of the govt at large. Doesn't matter to them though, they can point at marginally lower costs for that fiscal quarter and idiots clap for them.

If the work was already done to make the episode I think it should still be included. The artists and animators for it shouldn't suffer because the thing their story was based on flopped.

"Culture war" and "woke" is just code for "won't let me be an unmitigated shithead and that hurts my fee fees"

I put the foil in larger squares to fit under the silver metal tubes used as offsets for the heated bed. I'm not sure if foil under the pei will work, my worry would be making the bed uneven vs just adjusting the position. I just remember getting under the silver tube things was a massive pain in the ass so I do hope the pei sheet idea works tho lol

Is this the one that doesn't have adjustable bed springs? I had a bed that wouldn't level on the neptune pro with no adjustable springs and software couldn't compensate outside of small prints.

I had to take the bed apart partially and use little shims (in my case tinfoil) to even the bed to the point where mesh leveling could handle the remaining flaws.

Legalize drug awareness street signs!

I would say put some Kamala Walz signs in his yard to fuck with him, but he seems like the kind of guy to shoot you for using the end of his driveway to make a 3 point turn so...

Glass also doesn't turn a shade of burnt orange after you put leftover spaghetti in it so that's nice :)

Execution shouldn't be an option. At least with life in prison you can release a person if you fucked up, with significant financial compensation for their time in prison. You can't un-execute a person. The state isn't competent enough to be given such power. Nobody is.

I've really liked my time with Signalis. It does some neat stuff with it switching between the top down sections and first person puzzles/segments.

It has a VR version and I'm pretty sure if I tried it I'd run into a wall in a panic a few times at least.

"tried" I'm guessing they noticed :p

Your character doesn't speak per say, so you usually are limited to gestures for interacting with other players.

The stone refers to a series of items thatve been around since dark souls 1 where you drop a magic stone and a voice comes out saying the line. In dark souls 1 and some others it was a rock you dropped and it broke open making sound, so the "stone" term stuck.

In elden ring it's called a "prattling pate: 'voice line here'". Your character blows into it like a flute kinda and the line is spoken.

Basically the guy showed up, said "damn ur fashion is on point" then left :)

Send me your steam friend code, as far as I can tell I can invite any steam friend, with no limits on numbers. Dunno how long the playtest is running, but they usually do half the day live, and half with matchmaking shut down for patching stuff.

Yarr harr fiddle dee dee!

Yeah that's a fair point. I was mistaken thinking it was an actual eula they bypassed because valve didn't make it so you couldn't just close it, but it's not in any way legally enforceable. I thought at least it was one of those grey "technically correct but obviously an unintended loophole" kind of things, but they literally just said "pls don't tell". I'm mostly thinking that risking the connections you might have to valve aren't worth a scoop on a game still in what seems to be alpha or closed beta, but if I were valve I really don't think they can be that mad, everything the verge did was basically fair game if they were fine with a game ban.

I guess when I think of public interest I think of stuff like reddit selling user data without consent, or games using manipulative tactics. It's hard to feel like it makes sense to be aggressive with something as benign as "game we don't know much about yet, smells of dota/moba" But then again I'm not a game journalist, and I stand corrected.

Yeah, gaylord_fartmaster let me know. I thought the message was one of those "scroll down and click agree on this eula" things but its just a pop up box, so it's def not enforceable.
