Good for Charlie’s Angels

How about if valve has an agreement with developers where if they release a game in early access, and then abandon it, it switches to free-to-play?

Developers don’t have to pay for the servers, and the source code isn’t released. Gamers get to still play it, if it had any redeeming qualities, or for nostalgia. And valve gets…uhh… community goodwill? Honestly the lack of benefits for valve is probably why this will never happen.

Solar panels and a vasectomy

Open page. Look for the word “Boeing”. Find it almost instantly. Be surprised.

Wait, not that last one.

HOT garbage? And who’s paying to heat this garbage up, me? No thank you! Cold garbage is fine for kids!

Lol, no but seriously they’d rather just let kids starve.

I definitely agree that rent should be much more controlled and affordable. And yeah banks definitely don’t need more money. But a majority of Americans have fixed mortgage rates under 4%, which makes a lot of them keep their old house when they move, and just rent it out. Which just makes it harder for people to break into the housing market. And houses are an investment that renters don’t have access to, and that’s just one of tons of things that keeps poor people poor.

100% agree. It’s crazy that we have 30 year fixed rate loans with basically no penalty to refinance. Don’t get me wrong, it’s working for me, but I wish it was different because it’s so unfair.

In the couple places where I don’t use a password manager, I make up a silly sentence and use the first letter of each word and then mix in numbers and symbols. I guess that means the letters I use end up not being evenly distributed, but I think it’ll be alright.

American eh? Nope, I don’t recognize him. Do what you want with that one, it’s fine by us.

A lot of dumb people thought they could talk about killing politicians on the Internet if they ended their message with “in Minecraft” so they could claim they were just taking about a game. At least one of them has already been arrested proving their plan doesn’t actually provide any defense.

So a Minecraft cause would be someone plotting (and then presumably actually) killing them.

IT systems need a way to pre-enter an account deactivation, and when HR sends a text to the system it makes it live, or something. I’ve been the IT guy who was told to disable an account, and the user found out before the news was broken so they asked me what was going on. No bueno.

I guess I was thinking of how to videos like how to fix a part on your car. But yeah I can see how how to videos like that still being an opportunity for Google to make money.

People who watch tutorial videos only get on, watch the video and then leave. How are they supposed to make tons of advertising revenue from that? No, we must sacrifice that class of video from the platform, in pursuit of the almighty dollar.

Is it ever stated that the serpent is actually Satan?

Yeah, me too. Sorry, I’m just tired.

10 years ago I’d say this was a bombshell, and the results of what was released could have unprecedented effects on our election.

But now a days? Meh. I mean, half the people in the country have read 10000 horrific stories about Trump already, and the other half believe there’s a group of baby-eating satanists running the world, so I can’t imagine either group really bring too surprised at any announced leaks. I dunno, I guess I still hear about these supposed undecided voters, even if I can’t comprehend how they still exist. Maybe this will change 12 of their minds, or whatever.

I don’t really think of proposing new policies as “desperate” so much as just trying to outline her goals to people who are still undecided.

Now if she went out and did some weird photoshoot stunt, I might start to pull out the desperate label.

Maybe their whole service doesn’t do any testing at all, it just auto sends a reply “We’re sorry, we think there is a strong chance your child will inherit genes related to lower than average intelligence.” to anyone dumb enough to pay them money.

I love the ability to keep a perfect history of my communication, which IM/slack/email gives you, but if you have a complex issue to solve that requires the input of multiple people, face to face conversation can get to the bottom of the issue many times faster than back and forth messing. Not only can you speak quicker than you can type, but you can convey additional information in tone of voice and facial expression.

And I hate to praise AI for anything, but it’s not half bad at given you a written summary of what was talked about.

I say all this as someone who really doesn’t enjoy talking to people face to face, and would much rather just send messages.

Get caught with some drugs? Years in prison.

Steal millions of dollars from the government for rich people? 20 months.
