I can wait. I’ll pick it up on a Summer Sale or something when it’s 90% off.

These chips will be in everything. Cars, phones, computers, TVs, cameras, drones. If they can mandate location tracking in all of these AI chips, then they’re mandating location tracking on everything electronic.

I have no bad words about the game, other than the fact that it takes 10 minutes (I timed it) to go from not yet opening the game, to get to a title screen. It also crashes pretty regularly. Meaning you gotta wait 10 minutes AGAIN.

I just started up the game now and it took 20 seconds to load into the title screen and then less than 3 seconds to load into a saved game. It sounds like you have some other issue causing the slow loading.

According to howlongtobeat.com, a leisurely pace takes about 28 hours to beat it. If you’re particularly slow, you could probably take a good amount of time more. That doesn’t mean you’re bad at games though, especially since this type of game can be played very slowly since it’s turn-based and there’s nothing pushing you to play fast.

Play at whatever pace it takes you to enjoy whatever it is you’re playing. As long as you’re having fun, you’re doing it right.

I’m pretty sure Guillemot was a sociopath. There are many people whose deaths I would feel bad for, but he’s not one of them.

Agreed, they deserve to know.

Yes, causing harm to thousands of people is significantly worse than one person dying in a crash.

Part of the 0.01%, made absurd amounts of money making games worse, heading a company actively fighting against unionisation.

I still think that’s fine. Sometimes the world is better off when someone dies.

Meh, I don’t wish death on anyone, but that doesn’t mean I have to be sad that a shitty person died.

I have a narrow-mouth thermos and cleaning it out with a bottle brush is tedious and not super effective, I’m pretty sure the residue inside the bottle will never fully go away, but at least it gets washed out with soap and refilled with boiling water on a regular basis.

It’s never been AI, but that’s what we called it anyway, and that’s what we’ll keep calling it.

But there were two guys there… which one was carrying thing?

Hmm, I don’t know how often I’ll be using a trebuchet, but that does look like it’s built pretty well.

The couple took issue with the Russian version of events.

Jane added: “They didn’t send up any flares, they didn’t try to radio us, they didn’t look to us like they were adrift, we were definitely not on a collision course. We were going to miss them. It just wasn’t an incident until the gunfire started.”

According to the couple, it doesn’t match up. I mean they could just be covering their asses, but Russia’s also kind of known for being assholes of late.

This was how you could prevent Cortana and some other stuff from being automatically reinstalled when Windows forced if. Uninstall the app via appx, or just delete the folder instead if it’s not in use, and then replace it with a file with the same name so it can’t remake the folder.

The classic “Mark as deleted”

In French you would say “depuis 20 minutes” which literally translates to “since 20 minutes,” and I imagine many other languages would phrase it the same way.

That chess guy used a remote controlled butt plug to cheat, people will always find a way.

And he was caught. Do you think we should be checking every chess grandmasters butthole going forward?

He was accused (by his opponent Magnus Carlsen) of cheating, and it’s the internet that made a meme of using a buttplug as a means of cheating. There was never any legitimate accusation of using a buttplug to cheat, and there was never any consequences for him. In fact, he sued Magnus for defamation and they settled out of court.

EV owners that charge at home, (and who wouldn’t do that), currently pay no road taxes because they buy no or very little “fuel”.

They pay no road tax for fuel but they do pay road taxes elsewhere. Roads are not funded solely on fuel taxes.
