“Sanders you fool! The view from atop my ivory tower does not match the view you say the people who are not on the ivory tower have.”

Win back? This country was bought and paid for long before any of us were alive. We keep fighting against the oligarhy for liberty and freedom like we’ve always done.

What “quarters” precious?

Not having the touchpads is a big downside, but this still fills a huge niche that the others dont. My Xbox elite controller is cool and all, but has neither a gyro nor capacitive joysticks. My dualsense has a gyro, but no capacitive touch so I need to activate it with a button hold or leave it always on.

The Xbox and PS5 controller also don’t treat the paddles as independent buttons by default, so you need an extra layer of software on PC that allows mapping those buttons to arbitrary inputs. Steam Input can overwrite this sometimes, but it’s very inconsistent on a game + hardware basis. The companion app is a concerning “feature”. Hopefully it’s just marketing trying to make up a fancy phrase for “hardware driver”.

“Give up hope now before the pain of existence rips it away. Oh, also eat healthy, and do some light exercise daily that stuff is important too.”

This community allows blogposting? What’s the joke - randoms on the internet are assholes? Not a very strong punchline.

WWIII: Special Military Operation still going on. WWIII: Religious Extremism expansion pack just dropped. COVID: 2: Electric Boogaloo in some areas. Election year in like 4+ major countries. Multiple major entertainment failures across the board in multiple entertainment sectors. And major scandals to boot, most notably a massive media icon’s fall from grace via nice and friendly things like coercion, conspiracy to murder, human trafficking, etc.

Gee Kotaku idk. You would think a Japanese corporation’s failure and loss of revenue would be more important to American media outlets during an election year. Crazy how that managed to slip through the cracks.

Add a new currency called the buck which represents 1000 dollars. Over the next~200 years of inflation abolish the cent as a fraction of a dollar. When you reach a breaking point again, reintroduce a cent as a bill that represents 1000 bucks. Rinse and repeat every new inflationary super cycle.

Imagine being so washed up as a corporation that your internal data is only worth 20 grand.

It is true that twitch loses Amazon money, this has been known for years. Yet they are still supported by Amazon. There must be something beyond money that the trillion dollar corporation sees in having absolute control over a major media platform. You focus and argue about checkers while Amazon ignores your cries and continues playing chess.

Saudis also use twitch a lot in an indirect way - lots of sportswashing investments including esports which includes twitch deals. LGBTQ+ is pretty controversial as far as global politics are concerned. It seems like people in the West often forget there’s only a handful of countries that don’t immediately jail or kill you for these things worldwide.

Intel QA failing to audit third party suppliers properly is Intel’s fault.

Oh boy! I’m so excited to wait months for an update to a buggy mess for the update to simply adds a new texture for cans of beans and a new style of jeans.

Lifespans are certainly longer considering McCoy is still up and walking around near the start of TNG. 😒 Keiko being Keiko once again…

Circles are good at math, but what to do if you not have circle shape? Easy, redefine problem until you have numbers that look like the numbers the circle shape uses. Now we can use circle math on and solve problems about non-circles!

To vastly oversimplify how genetics and embryonic development works, the “default” for humans is female and men have genetic codes that overwrites these defaults during fetal development. To put it more bluntly, males have extra code which females lack.

That could explain why sperm+sperm could theoretically work using a stem cell as a mediator to remove the excess code, while egg+egg can’t do the same because you’d need to manually scribe the extra genes directly.

You don’t need to do either. Qbits are still bounded by the laws of computation, and the planck supercomputers as described are already perfect computers with infinite bits since they can check a password of any length in a single Planck second of operation. There’s no speed advantage when going from an infinite number of things with unique states to a single thing with infinite states.

Darmok and Jalad at Tenagra.

I did a project for school a few months ago about how Netflix should branch into online/cloud gaming and how good of a business move it would be.

I wanted to pick something lazy and absurd that clearly wouldn’t be effective, so that I could make up stats combining two industries my professor was woefully uneducated in.

Imagine marketing this so poorly that the one person doing academic research on the topic is doing it as a complete joke and isn’t even aware that you actually offer that service. Rofl. Glad this article didn’t come out while that class was still ongoing.

We already pay for this deadbeat’s free housing and now he wants American taxpayers to subsidize his medical needs on top of that? Lol no.
