That’s infuriating, I was going to recommend that. It gets cancelled because it doesn’t make money, but it saves so much money by preventing people from using a higher acuity of care than they need.
Ooh, I know this one! WoTC already did that earlier this year by putting out their own "woke criticism" press-release so that they could secretly introduce gambling as a D&D product via blind-boxes.
Only if they, too, were willing to foot the bill for the arbitration fees. Hint: nobody else does that, they want the consumer to pay their own way to reduce filings. That's what happened with Twitter's severance filings, they got hit with millions in arbitration fees.
I’m just going to swing for the fences with the always objectionable, “fiction trumps rules.”
They wouldn't fall for a Morbius, again ...right?
“Is New Zealand just Texas?!”
How would he know? Trump doesn’t talk to him.
Oh no! We have too many upvotes!
Debian is like the Unitarian Universalists of distros. “You’re here? You’re here! That’s great!”
$50 million in 24 hours?! But Elon can do that in a month!
Oh, huh, I guess fund raising at 1/30th the rate isn’t great for Trump’s campaign.
Fake midwesterners!
So, wait, why is the Ohio National guard so inept that it took them 4 years to mobilize?
When neither facts nor your customers care about your feelings, but do care about your donations.
I’ve had some luck joining the game’s discord server and checking the LFG posts. Depends on the game, of course, works best for small but not unknown indie games.
Kamala Harris put out a statement with Vance’s comments and called for “action to keep our children safe."
Sounds like it’s time for somebody to make /c/TrumpVsTrump

Yeah, that’s probably a better phrasing.
People weren’t using them ambiguously, drive manufactures picked a non-standard unit to lie with on their boxes, and then tricked courts into going along with their shit because it was the old case of money vs truth.
It kills about 1 in every 1,500 people, so it’s reasonable to assume it’s endemic and infected around 3,000 people.
I don’t know whether those 3,000 people are the symptomatic 20% or the entire population.
He also appears to have sold nuclear secrets to the Russians, which also sounds sort of important or something.

A really neat sequel for the UVG!
Scientists identify origin of the 'BOAT'
"When we confirmed that the gamma-ray burst was generated by the collapse of a massive star, that gave us the opportunity to test a hypothesis for how some of the heaviest elements in the universe are formed."
Pretty cool boat.
Putin seizes $100m from Google to fund Russia’s war machine (in 2020)
Bailiffs funnel tech giant’s cash to pay for war propaganda
Degoogle, and also avoid any company with an international arm incorporated in Russia, or outside of Russia, apparently:
> Google is seeking a ruling [in US and English courts] to block [RT] from pursuing its assets in foreign jurisdictions such as South Africa, Turkey and Serbia.
> According to the Turkish filings, Russian courts have determined that Google owes Tsargrad 32.8bn roubles (£273m)... [the penalty] doubles every 24 hours... Russian courts had “levied unprecedented fines and arbitrary legal penalties against Google in an attempt to limit access to information on our services and as a punishment for our compliance with international sanctions against Russian individuals and organisations”.
What’s a game you can 100% without hating by the end?
As per title. Most computer games these days are made with such unnecessary padding that I want to murder the devs or myself by the end. See, for example, Hyrule Warriors, the 100% 1000 Hour Nightmare, the Review.
The second game I ever 100%ed was Arceus and I still can’t stand the thought of picking it up again, years later. The first game was Horizon Zero Dawn, which is still fun.

Still Haven’t Found It
It hasn’t turned up anywhere else yet, so I’ve occasionally been checking the grocery store for the last few years.
Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.
I prompted Bing with Ian Malcom's timeless quote, "Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should," and it gave me this nightmare in return.
Moral Crumple Zones: Crushing the Human to Preserve Venture Capital
As debates about the policy and ethical implications of AI systems grow, it will be increasingly important to accurately locate who is responsible when agency i
Moral Crumple Zones discusses how humans are used to absorb liability from automated systems.
With Tesla’s Autopilot and Full Self-Driving linked to hundreds of crashes, dozens of deaths getting traction, it’s time to remind everyone that Tesla’s design choice to disengage self-driving in the instant before impact is intentional to ensure the driver is in control during the moment of impact, even though self-driving disengaged way too late for the human to react.
In my opinion, they’re sacrificing both bystanders and customers to preserve immunity from liability.
