unironically yes. I saw a Sony? branded EV with a long thin screen on the front bumper playing Ghost of Yotai trailers.

imagine how impressive the orcas that did this are.

I hope it was Orcas.

I’m fine with laws offering no protection to me from robotaxis as long as the law offers them no protection from me.

The secret sauce there is linux support. It may sound like a marginal thing, but Valve has been working on making Linux gaming viable for over a decade now and it’s paying off in spades. GOG exists, sure, but they’re a fraction of Valves influence for a reason. Besides, there was a DRM free distribution chain before GoG that everyone used, it was called piracy.

My steam key to download steam came with my physical copy of half life 2. I was there when the old magic was written, and that HL2 box was the last physical game I ever bought for my PC. For the decade before that, almost all my games were also digital copies, just not legit ones ;) And that’s the part you’re missing. Steam and Netflix were both easier and higher quality than pirating and cheap enough to justify. Netflix decided to milk that for all its worth, but Valve stuck to its plan and has consistently offered a very good alternative to piracy, which won over a generation of digital media hoarders.

yacht makers hate this one simple trick.

Please list all the other software you still buy from a box on a shelf at a store. The only one I can think of would be a copy of windows (on a USB stick!) or physical movies, and that’s a shadow of its former self even though the physical media usually comes with a key for a streamable copy.

I get the sentiment, but physical media was a dead end the second broadband became viable. I’m glad vinyl made a kind of a comeback, but come on, even consoles are digital-first nowadays.

Please pull some Ready Player One Halliday level bullshit with your company when you die. PLEASE.

Guessing a friend’s thoughts.

This is a list of shit his friends would do to annoy him.

It’s weird because that’s basically the entire Republican voter base.

my questions:

surprisingly good, but the grapes have to be cut up. Eating a mouthful of chicken salad only to have something squishy suddenly burst in your mouth is not a pleasant experience.

It’s not amazing, but it cuts the richness of the otherwise salt and fat heavy dish (especially in the Midwest where it’s like equal parts mayo and chicken)

thank you!

Can someone please explain this guy to me?

Thats what philosophy does. It’s a crowbar we shove into the cracks in our models of how the world works to prove for weakness.

In the example above all you did was describe the paper better. It doesn’t matter if it’s blue or creased or whatever, the question is about the physicality (or lack thereof) of information. We’re still not sure what happens to the information that passes through a black hole. Philosophy is a blind person’s cane, helping to feel out unfamiliar territory.

Team Rocket, but you stole the space shuttle Atlantis from the Kennedy Space center instead of a hot air balloon. And it’s meth powered somehow.
