Well, Xbox and PC exclusive.

And to add a platitude: “Any idiot can build a bridge that stands, but it takes an engineer to build a bridge that barely stands.”

The paleontologist reconstruction does better match the deadliness of a hippo, much more so than real life does.

Or just let people wear what they want ffs

Oh god, that's not even unrealistic

I always knew I'd die crushed by the Côte d'Azur.

That's not quite true: https://www.nytimes.com/roomfordebate/2015/04/16/what-are-corporations-obligations-to-shareholders/corporations-dont-have-to-maximize-profits

It's impossible to say what prehistoric people were thinking or wanting. You can only look at how they lived their lives, or how later peoples organized their society. The main thing is that there isn't one way of living, some societies were hierarchical and probably materialistic based on grave goods and burials, some societies clearly had prosocial tendencies based on remains of people with disabilities showing care and nourishment.

If you want a detailed look on the topic, there's "The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity", a book by Graeber and Wengrow, which also talks about the huge diversity of social models in old communities of humans.

Wouldn't it be Divinity 7?

But to build on your analogy: we don't make regulations based on a religious doctrine anymore in most countries. If your religion says no one is allowed to wear mixed fabrics or eat pork, that's fine if you're not doing that, but we're not banning those things for all of society.

There's about as much proof for an existential AGI threat as there is for a deity, so let's not make policies based on either, and focus instead on real potential and already proven harms of AI

I agree we need to fly less, but we won't be able to eliminate it, so I think it's one of the tools we'll need in our toolbox

Best case you have some shampoo bottles you can read the ingredients of. Or for the very sophisticated you have toilet literature in your bathroom.

I have to disagree here. Disclaimer: I work for a bank but not super into the core financial stuff. Firstly, banks are already super heavily regulated; anti money laundering, terrorism financing, know your customer, etc. The reason crypto takes minutes for international transfers and banks can take days isn't because of technology, it's all of those checks on fraud happening. All the money leaving a bank account is, barring very advanced fraud, with the user's consent, but in fraud cases this is often done via social engineering (calling someone to get their codes from their bank card reader, or pretending to be a family member in need).

Quick pickled red onions are the bomb. They go with so much!

And in conjunction with that, though not an ingredient: microplane. Great for zest, hard cheese, (Frozen) ginger,...

I was interested in the ltt screwdriver until I found out there's not pozidriv in it. That's like 80% of the screws here in Europe (all of ikea, for instance)

I've got all my knowledge from random tiktoks on my for you page, so pray for me😬

Do you think I need to play the first 2 before this one?

For me, I did have some issues getting to a good user experience on android. Now that Sync is out, I expect to engage a lot more :)
