Maga works won't realise because they've been trained to fear and/or dislike the "woke" govt employees.

It's just another group to blame for all the wars, expensive groceries, regulations protecting consumers, health care, social work

So, no answer then?

Sounds like a free market proponent.

Can I give the classic example of US healthcare where for very minor benefits, the absolute richest can afford to have great healthcare whilst everyone else seems to be crippled (financially) by even minor ailments.

But the industry is worth billions, the line goes ever up, and the shareholders are happy. Just fuck the customer.

Name an example of a better workshop, I've used nexus mods and it's a complicated mess that requires a subscription to get normal download speeds for content created for free by other people

Because each independent section would try to make more money and end up breaking things and adding new shit users don't want but marketing execs think are good.

More like rats not joining a leaking ship. I've been through enough windows upgrades to know: Don't be the first! You'll only end up paying to be a software tester for a product MS had to ship before it's ready to keep the shareholders happy.

Don't be the first one in the water after the shark warning ...

In conclusion:

  • Bad weather for planes

  • Average (good?) weather for Toronto as this time of year

It looks like this is being filmed from another aircraft (big pillar in the middle of the window). Why was this pilot filming, it seems like they'd see planes landing all the time so was there something special about the landing - bad weather perhaps ..

Podcasts are thinking for people who can't read.

I'm making a rather cruel joke, but I do find some friends who struggle (lazy / busy, I'm not sure why) to read a news article I might share with them and, who will share with me some 20 sec Instagram clip with the words flashing up with Peterson or Rogan "slamming", "owning", "destroying" the libs. A quick Google usually dispels the quote or shows that the subject is not so simple.

I should also add I do listen to podcasts and radio and there's nothing wrong with both.

Does the 5 seats sticker include the driver?

Anecdotally, I remember using it for answers to things about probably business, government, and certain how-to's. I also remember when the pop-over banner started covering up half the answers and that's around the time I stopped.

Here's a post discussing quora from Dec 2018.

all philosophical views aside, there are some really core issues that got me to stop using Quora and unfortunately the case to stop using it is made by the site itself:

  • The content quality has deteriorated significantly since the site's inception. The content is far cheaper than before and far less interesting in very obvious ways.

  • Moderation systems have not done a good job of growing the site as a community. The site has lost the character that drew many people to it in the first place.

  • The machine learning models terribly over-fit to user signals, creating a frustrating experience.

These 3 core issues with the site are what got me to gradually stop using it as someone who was initially an early adopter.

Quora did it. I don't go there anymore.

 

The primary contractor for the Space Launch System rocket, Boeing, is preparing for the possibility that NASA cancels the long-running program.
On Friday, with less than an hour's notice, David Dutcher, Boeing's vice president and program manager for the SLS rocket, scheduled an all-hands meeting for the approximately 800 employees working on the program. The apparently scripted meeting lasted just six minutes, and Dutcher didn't take questions.

Here it comes, the big payoff. Elon's lost the Tesla EV subsidies but will instead get the NASA contacts

The Fen Raft Spider is roughly the size of an adult male’s hand, and can spin webs as big as pizzas (25cm).

They are also semi-aquatic and can run across the water’s surface to capture their prey.

 

I personally have a huge backlog of games I'm happily playing through on the deck. And, having been burnt a few times (Cyberpunk, No Mans Sky ..), I very rarely buy new full priced games anyway (better to wait for a discount and some patches!)

But according to this rather clickbate article ...

In the last month alone, we’ve seen three disappointing examples of games that are too demanding for the Deck. Star Wars Outlaws is unplayable on Low settings, even with FSR set to “Ultra Performance.” Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 can’t reach a steady 30fps at the lowest quality setting. And based on the demo, Final Fantasy 16 is unplayable without FSR and Frame Generation, and afflicted with stuttering and horrible frame pacing with those scaling features enabled.

I'm not sure I remember the part where Indy is buried chest deep in sand with one fist defiantly raised ... It looks more like a character model glitched under the map!

Ubishit's showing what's most important to them as a company (Suprise suprise it's not about making games)

Shareholders want those regular subscription fees rolling in.
