My understanding is that hardware companies usually alternate generations: one for performance, one for power. It seems like this is the balance that makes the market happy.

I took used to order $5 foot long chicken bacon ranch subs from subway.

I think this was the first version of that I heard:

My horse broke his leg. I called the vet and he said “Not much I can do. You’re gonna have to shoot 'em.”

I don’t know why.

But if he don’t start getting better soon I’ma have to shoot 'em again.

That still doesn’t make sense. All this does is enable the PS VR headset to be used with a PC to play steam games. It gives people that already own a PS VR another option for usage: plugging it into a PC and playing VR games they purchased through steam. It lowers the barrier to entry for the user to experience PC VR games by being able to use hardware they already have on hand instead of having to purchase an Oculus or Index. Valve still gets their software sales cut because you can only use the PS VR to play games in your steam library on PC.

Yeah, this a common misconception (no pun intended?). The average life expectance was 40 because so many children died during childhood. If you lived to 20, you likely lived til you were 70.

Sounds like a dumb move. I thought the money was in software/game sales, not hardware that’s sold at a loss?

They’ve even got a special note for people like you:

Those who insist that nauseous can properly be used only to mean “causing nausea” and that its later “affected with nausea” meaning is an error for nauseated are mistaken. Current evidence shows these facts: nauseous is most frequently used to mean physically affected with nausea, usually after a linking verb such as feel or become; figurative use is quite a bit less frequent. Use of nauseous to mean “causing nausea or disgust” is much more often figurative than literal, and this use appears to be losing ground to nauseating. Nauseated is used more widely than nauseous when referring to being affected with nausea.

If you get laid off “ethically” (as in the company really does have budgeting issues and they really are trying to weather the storm and they really are cutting back your role which isn’t critical to continued business operations) then there might be potential options to come back in the future if the business can course correct.

If you’re getting laid off because they’re too cowardly to fire you, yeah. There’s no position to come back to.

Yeah, it does, and yet hardly any young voters showed up to the polls when the torries wanted to flush the kids futures down the toilet with the Brexit vote. So they’ve got lots of historical data to suggest young voters don’t matter.

Liza Broke Ass Bitch

Yeah. That worked last time

My guess on #2 is Europe is increasing posturing against Russia as they continue to escalate the situation in Ukraine, so this accomplishes:

• signaling to Russia that the UK is not a passive nation
• Will be popular with the mid to late life Midlands voters who don’t really have anything to be proud of in their life other than “we used to be an empire”, without having to actually shoulder the burden.
• Will be unpopular among the 18-35 year old voters, who are historically the lowest turnout demographic, and will actually have to shoulder the burden.

For what it’s worth, I actually think forced conscription (with alternatives) is actually an idea that can work well and help build a better more cohesive society where all people despite their differences participate in their “citizenly duties”, but it has to be done right: military service can be an option, as well as community service in things like fire departments, Emergency medical services, even working in government services like the NHS or community centers that have options for mentor programs, etc. Basically anything that teaches young adults to give back to their community which can hopefully turn into a lifelong habit. But you can’t start the policy as some bullshit military posturing. It has to come from a place of “we’re doing this to make our community better”. Also, you can’t make day 1 implementation only start with the current young adult generation and have everyone older than them grandfathered out. EVERYONE shoulders this. Anyone voting for it needs to know they’re all going to be participating in this (pro-rated based on age up to 65 or 70, but still those above should be encouraged to participate despite no obligation). But that probably sounds like communism or something.

My girlfriend asked me a couple weeks ago why I bought 5 games on Steam. I told her I quit drinking at home and/or alone at the pub two weeks ago and I had money burning a hole in my pocket. (We don’t live together so she was unaware of my change in behavior).

For meal prep at home maybe look into veggie dishes that can freeze well? Like I’d imagine a veggie lasagna holds up in the freezer pretty well. Other than that, maybe set time aside one night during the week like Wednesday to do a long cook session where you have fresh leftovers that don’t spoil in the fridge?

I love how corporate behavior is all “free market! competition creates better value for the customer!” Then they keep increasing their prices steadily and when that price becomes too much for the consumer they complain about not having any sales anymore and need to increase prices even more to cover lost profits… instead of doing the free market thing which is… ya know… lowering their prices to stay competitive.

I’ve had it here in Europe.

Personally, I think it tastes like a lemon that went bad. Like, kind of an uncanny valley thing. It’s close enough for me to think it’s one thing but far enough away from me to know it is definitely not what I want.

I prefer the Kentucky Fried cultivar

I’d have gone with tar --help

You can easily regulate against that.

Personally, I’ve been gaming on Arch with minimal issues for 2 years. Mostly stick to steam games for the low effort required though.
