Also: for a civilization advanced enough for interstellar travel to want to destroy us is unlikely. The universe is filled with resources. We pose no threat and don't really have anything special.

Nah see, the pier can be used for both. Synergy.

My thoughts exactly. By this reasoning, Candy Crush Saga could get taken down for copying Bejeweled.

$3000 is way too much for a tarp stapled to the back of an overpriced pile of shit

The housing crisis won't end until (among other things) corporations cannot freely own limitless numbers of single family homes. We will see perpetual renting because it's effectively passive income for the corporations, and they have deeper pockets than 99.9% of individuals.

As companies own more and more, but don't sell, supply dwindles, and the bubble never bursts.

I'm waiting for it to start using units of banana for all quantities of things

When did it die?

Unless the Electoral College magically goes away, this will be a rough election for a majority of Americans. Lots of long-standing issues are coming to a head with the realization that we've already been fascist for a while.

We paid for the development of the internet. We contributed the content. Now we watch the yacht owners take advantage of both because regulators are asleep at the wheel owned by corporations.

Streaming.

It's the new cable, in that it sells to customers based on intentional market fragmentation. It's actually a worse, because anything you "buy" on a streaming platform is actually just leased.

And I think every live service is a "no buy".

If they don't want to make money, they should do it and make whatever business goon suggesting it very happy (until that person looks at the balance sheet).

No shit?

Far easier said than done.

I want both the "iOS ecosystem" and Epic to fail, so I guess I just enjoy this new form of entertainment.

Most of their entire business model relies on collecting data hand over fist, constantly. Hell, even actively not using their products doesn't even make you safe.

Yeah, maybe. Much more system overhead on Windows and the driver situation is different (AMD drivers are now just included in the Linux kernel).

Sometimes I will think of an hour and half as 150 minutes

You're still thinking of a pattern -- but there is a conflation between cardinal numbers and proportion/percentage. An hour and a half is 150% of one hour.

But no, that doesn't happen with imperial systems, because there just aren't really patterns to that level.

As someone who regularly plays Arma 3 on a 6600 XT (and on Linux no less), I'm kind of scratching my head here.

Checks out.
