Unsalted in the shell is what I was talking about, I guess its a regional thing. The UK isn’t even close to anywhere they can grow so they’re really expensive here.

Peanuts should be at the top of the chart not the bottom, those things are fucking expensive.

Sure hope we don’t get temperatures like this over water for any prolonged period…

With physical media those licenses didn’t materially matter though because a contract you can’t read until after a purchase is automatically void in court.

I feel like the ‘Jarvis assistant’ is most likely going to be a much simpler siri type thing with a very restricted chatbot overlay. And then there will be the open source assistant that just exist to help you sort through the bullshit generated by other chatbots.

Honestly thats my plan, subtly adjust all my buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo comments to induce stupid behaviour in any AI thats trained on them

Its worth mentioning that the 12 years was not at all productive. The first 6 years was basically just two guys with rough concepts, only 6 years of actual dev time. Then about 3 years in they got a new creative lead on the project who decided to scrap essentially everything and start from scratch on a whim. Then the devs get the release date the same time we do which is 2 years earlier than they expected having assumed that they’d get around 5 years of actual dev time since being made to start over.

So yeh there was a lot of screwing around by management.

Massive government subsidies that allow companies to more or less run at a loss for the most part. Its the same playbook as Wallmart and just like Wallmart its a sure bet that those prices will go up once the local competition is wiped out.

Honestly that entire movie was a plothole given the origins of the xenomorphs is already established.

I kinda just assumed that was how it was meant to be interpreted and the other stuff was just crappy writing. The mention that Zion had been destroyed multiple times kinda implied it was just another matrix.

Laying down is a legitimate point, would have to make sure clothes can’t get caught in it.

I think you’d still need more size to account for longer strides and standing jumps.

The beurocracy must expand to meet the increasing needs of the growing beurocracy.

Not to mention the physics are stable enough that people were building helicopters using stage seperators and landing gear long before we got any real joints.

I don’t mind ads in the sidebar or on that little banner across the bottom of the screen sometimes. Its when the ads completely cover the content I’m trying to watch/view and/or start auto playing at obnoxious volume that I get annoyed. (Also fuck people on metered connections right?)

Its because they fired or otherwise pushed out every single original developer towards the tail end of KSP1.

I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if the reason is as simple as buying them so Russia can’t.

I still never understood what Cuba actually did that makes the US sanction them to this day. As far as I can tell they were a neutral country actually leaning slightly in favour of the US right up until they were suddenly branded communist (in the soviet sense) and more or less pushed into Russias arms.

You forgot the part where prices stay high even after the supply recovers.

I see it as trying to combat the dystopia where not only is our data scraped but now every single thing we write, draw or film is fed into an AI that will ultimately be used to create huge amounts of wealth for very few, essentially monetizing our very existence online in a way thats entierly unavoidable and without consent.

In addition its entierly one way, google and others can grab as much of our data as they want while most of us would have an extremely hard time even getting granted a freedom of information request about ourselves, let alone grabbing a similar amount of data about those same corporations.
