And millions of drivers would disagree. The study is clear. If a driver doesn’t fear hitting something they mostly disregard painted lanes. Without protection bikers fear the lane with good reason.

Paint is not infrastructure, no surprises there.

You have way more than I do, with more flexibility. Definitely not tied to Visa and MasterCard. Skrill for example, accepts crypto and debit. PaySafe I think is outside of the Visa network and takes debit for prepaid cards as well.

Steam takes debit in certain regions. And a debit card, from the point of view of what private information is managed, is identical to a credit card. Many debit cards now even allow international use.

Better Nate than lever.

Crimson desert. You’ll never finish it.

Classic not all wasps apologist.

If you don’t trust Tailscale there’s like 3 different FOSS self-hosted alternatives. Setting one up is actually not that much more complex than setting a reverse proxy and you control the tunnelling network end to end.

Anything but public transit, eh?

These Ax4 game budgets are getting out of hand. If you sell 3 million copies of a $70 game and still don’t break even, someone fucked up in management. No, raising the price is not the answer.

They work but are a pain to get going. They use a C++ third party library that requires a lot of dependencies. I once managed to create a prefix with the required shit installed. But the settings were a crapshot, some installers would work but some others would require changes or replacements to libraries. Then moving and managing the installation was too much manual labor. It was annoying so I dropped the project.

Your country is lying to you. No surprise there, as all governments lie. There are plants specialized in recycling only the caps. For certain regulatory markets, the caps are easier to recycle than the bottles. As with anything, it’s all about what infrastructure is in place, and how well it meshes with already existing manufacturing. You do what is best suited to your local waste management. But be aware that it is by no means global or a universal (chemical or otherwise) limitation. Governments need to regulate both sides to make recycling viable.

Enshittification strategies only work if the product actually produces revenue and it grows along with market share. Unfortunately, even if market use grows, revenue from AI is not there. Even YouTube crossed the break even boundary before the start of ad enshittification and after the Google buyout. LLMs financial projections are starting to show that it will never reach enough revenue to cover costs, much less cover ROI into infrastructure and capacity. The math isn’t mathing and investors are starting to get cold feet. So they either enshittify now or the capital soon will start vanishing.

He has done that. It was hilarious. Apparently kitchen nightmares amped up the anger for show and the guy is really nice in person. He ended up hating the grumpy chef persona.

For me it’s literally cheaper to pay for cable than buy the sports subscriptions. I don’t watch sports, thus I don’t have cable.

Mayhaps, it was invented in 90s in South america. Notice the first person successfully treated was a child, not a famous person. It’s all patented for the public, so it will be hard to gatekeep. The real problem is that the treatment currently requires a small army of lab technicians and a ton of manual labor. That’s the real obstacle. It’s labor intensive and advancements are on the automation and streamlining of the treatment. Unfortunately it will never be truly cheap. But at least the technology is open and freely available to use for anyone.

Nothing like the Taken 3 scene of him jumping a fence from 19 different angles, each shown for less than 1 second to hide the fact that Liam Neeson absolutely cannot jump a fence to save his life? I think that was the craziest stunt on the entire trilogy. TIL, in cinematography it is called a “blender cut”. Because it looks like they just put all the clips on blender and stitched them at random.

They still felt the need to make the protagonist a fresh out of school lawyer. It wasn’t that far off.

Launching in a workable state is criminally underated by publishers. A bad game can eventually be patched after launch, sure, but a botched first impression takes decades to switch in the public eye. Look at cyberpunk and witcher games. Beloved after decades of bug fixes, but not everyone has the good will of CD projekt red to burn through. A bad first impression can turn a good if unimaginative game into “that ugly game that was broken at launch” forever. And let’s be real, 90% of a game’s lifetime profit comes during the launch window.

I recognize the complexities involved. But as long at data centers are fueled by a fossil based grid and use clean water for cooling, this amount of paper is not hurting more nor less. OP is fine, if they want to save trees the move is to stop corn and palm oil in products. That’s what is destroying forests.
