a period where Hitman 2 and Hitman 3 were exclusive to different store platform
It was a yearlong Epic Game Store exclusive despite the publishers promising not to do that, and when they finally released on Steam there was a bunch of issues for people who owned H1 and H2 accessing their levels/progress in H3.
Reminds me that someone posted a 1950s "the future of travel" video, and it was all retro futuristic cars doing 200 mph on almost totally empty highways.
One major issue for Sledder here is that since Tesla started Cybertruck deliveries, the starting price for his vehicle has significantly fallen...That further lowers the starting price to $70,500.
My man found out the hard way about depreciation. All my life people have said never to buy a new car because it loses 20% of its value the moment you drive it off the lot. If you really want to drive new cars the best way to do it is lease and change every couple of years (this is still not financially sound, just better than buying new).
That is an effect, it also increases the relative value of debts which isn't great, but the negative impacts of those is less than the potential positive impact of reducing the relative cost of living. Really what you've got to focus on if you're a government trying to manage deflation is a) capital flight and b) wage reduction, because the biggest negatives are seen if investment gets pulled out of the economy and the positives aren't realized if people's wages don't stay the same.
the rate of price growth has slowed substantially since hitting a high in 2022.
If the American economy is doing so good, how did Trump manage a clean sweep?
Right in that quote, the best thing they can say about our economy is not that it's getting better, but that it's not getting worse as quickly as it was two years ago.
Socialists of all types have been saying this for ages and explaining all the ways you could do it without succumbing to a deflationary spiral, but I'm sure libs will take this as evidence that Xi doesn't understand econ 101 and that he's ruining China.
I never got to run this, but I remember after playing Prey putting together a dungeon themed off of mimics and getting really nasty with them. I imagined that after a couple rooms the players would adopt a policy of preemtively fireballing every new room before entering it.
They call that the Peter Principle, and there's at least one Ig Nobel Prize winning study which found that it's better to randomly promote people rather than promote based on job performance.
My experience (USA) mirrors yours until high school, which is when we were allowed to just stand up and walk out when we needed to. Kids who abused the privilege were dealt with on a case by case basis.
This is pretty clearly interference from the judge. The guy who ran the bankruptcy auction has a ton of experience with this stuff and there is no reason to think he wasn't impartial or that he didn't get the best price for everything. Jones' lawyers are just kicking the can down the road and delaying for as long as they can.
Probably the floor of an airport. Everything was closed and the chairs weren't an option, so I just picked a spot on the floor and used my bag as a pillow for about six hours before I got woken up by the morning cleaning people.
The traditional conception is that ghosts aren't really sentient creatures, but a phenomenon that souls can get stuck in instead of going to the afterlife. There's symbolism there - a ghost is an echo of a person, much like memories of them or the effects they had on the world. There's also a bit of Christian moralizing - a "good" person doesn't stick around because they are eager to join God in heaven, while a "bad" person clings to their earthly life and possessions even if they are only capably of doing so in a greatly diminished state.
The modern conception of a ghost where it's a fully realized person who can just kinda go through walls is an anthropomorphized and secular version of the ghosts that were invented by the Victorians.
holy shit. So a big part of the ceasefire deal is for the Lebanese Army to move into southern Lebanon and take over from Hezbollah - is Israel's goal to get the Lebanese Army to move into range of their artillery so that they can shoot them and escalate the war further?
Wayland and audio is fixed, but only on the canary branch
I've been using the canary branch exclusively for about a year because of audio issues on the main one, I would genuinely be ecstatic if they finally ported over the fix because for some reason the canary branch refuses to auto upgrade and I have to do it manually every time.
