  • It's solely because he stopped paying lip service to them about a two state solution. He's been saying all along to the Israeli population and press that it wasn't happening. And he's been effectively and rather openly working against it but never out and out defying Washington publicly about it. Until now.

  • To be fair, in the local markets for the two teams involved (Miami and Kansas City), they were on over the air broadcast TV and thus also cable and satellite providers that carry those stations. Although of course the local markets for TV purposes are literally only the cities in question and people in a different part of that same state might get boned still.

    I think they should be made to be broadcast or at least free streaming only by virtue of the NFL's specific antitrust exemptions though.

  • They're beating AMD at ray tracing, upsampling (DLSS vs FSR), VR, and especially streaming (NVENC). For the latter look at the newly announced beta partnership with Twitch and OBS which will bring higher quality transcoding and easier setup only for Nvidia for now and soon AV1 encoding only for Nvidia (at first anyway).

    The raw performance is mostly there for AMD with the exception of RT, and FSR has gotten better. But Nvidia is doing Nvidia shit and using the software ecosystem to entrench themselves despite the insane pricing.

  • They work fine for me. The only time I've had to ask for assistance is for an age check or once when I double scanned something. But then I'm not a blithering idiot and I know to look at the PLU sticker on produce and that you can usually just punch in the UPC code if an item won't scan correctly. I'd much rather do it myself than have to make awkward small talk with a cashier. And standing in lines? You'd be standing in line waiting for a cashier too.

    On the retailer side, they're either going to have to accept the increased theft rate or they're going to have to go back to paying cashiers. That's just the way it is -- they can't have their cake and eat it too in that regard.

  • How much of the Canadian drug supply is imported from the US in the first place? How many manufacturers in Canada are independent and not just local operations of international pharmaceutical companies?

    In those scenarios why would they ship more drugs to Canada to be reimported into the US or expand their manufacturing capabilities in Canada? To sell the drugs at a lower price than they can get by selling them in the US directly? They'd be losing money. Instead they'd keep the Canadian imports/manufacturing flat or on pace with existing growth in the country so that there will be shortages and export restrictions.

    If politicians in Florida of all places like the benefits of Canadian price controls then perhaps they should start adopting them here in the US.

  • “He would have to be, and would speedily be, you know, impeached and convicted before the criminal prosecution,”

    Then he could assassinate them all, continually, until Congress is packed with people so afraid they'll be killed if they step out of line and there's no legal recourse. Just like the Founding Fathers intended...

  • I don't think this is really an agreement at all.

    Johnson's statement said it was agreement of the top line numbers for 2024 and that now negotiations will begin. So this is just like the shit they did last year -- Democrats have negotiated what they think the final numbers are going to be while Republicans think they've negotiated the upper bound and are now free to use any and all leverage to push the number as low as possible.

  • Yeah, I went to a similar school very close to the one she went to. Knew people from there, had friends that transferred over from there, etc.

    It certainly wasn't my choice to go there, and I don't think my parents reasoning was out of racism in sending me there so I'm not about to conclude the same for her. But it's just realistically thinking, how many black friends is she going to make going there? On top of recognizing the same horseshit whitewashing of history that got her into this whole defense. The same one I was taught originally as well.

  • Pretty sure the DMCA claims take the material down and give you a copyright strike. And not everyone has access to the other system that can affect monetization.

    The only example I've seen of this being possible is making some unique song/sounds and putting them in the video, signing up with one of the rights management companies that does have access, and then claiming your own content. Still not perfect as they take a fee and a cut of "recovery" iirc.

  • She went to Orangeburg Preparatory School, a private school that was formed by the merger of two private schools that were segregation academies. Ask her how many black classmates she had. If the answer isn't zero it was in the low single digits in a county that's 60% black.
