Tools are often useful because they are dangerous in a certain way. Cars. Hammers. Computers. Search engines.

Thank goodness there's still some semblance of the free market. Nobody will want to use the useless AI's.

And modern music is no exception. Some songwriters have more of a way with words. "Around The World" is one extreme to great effect - it's a neat song. Then there's song verses like:

Dive bar on the East Side, where you at?
Phone lights up my nightstand in the black
Come here, you can meet me in the back
Dark jeans and your Nikes, look at you
Oh damn, never seen that color blue
Just think of the fun things we could do...

You Know Who at her (IMHO) best. The notion that the only good music was performed in the 1970s by men with guitars is, at best, circular reasoning. De-valuing Taytay's music because her music and persona appeal primarily to women is nothing more than misogyny.

De todos modos, aquí está Wonderwall

Worse, unless the company is going out of business, which Ubisoft afaik is not, is it really a drag to spend a hundred a month keeping a server for ancient stuff running just for goodwill?

Some of these games needed many servers just for all the zones of one shard, a decade later that can be tucked into one computer.

Well, does it really need a server, like an MMO, or is that just some BS extra the software checks once in awhile becauae reasons?

Mitigation like this doesn't get in the way of business, and so bears little fruit, waggle-finger-wise.

How many Olympic-sized swimming pools?

Noteworthy for zero photos of the outside or other units. Lots of people renovated the interior of their commie blocks. It's like painting a piece of shit.

So if they are what you describe, and they're getting 42% of the vote, imagine how horrible the other parties are.

A pox upon all their houses. No party in Canada deserves a vote. There are no good options.

If it moves, tax it. If it stops moving, subsidize it.

I pointed out once EVs got prevalent enough, government would stop subsidizing and start taxing. I got modded down, by clowns who, when government inevitably changed its mind, would later dutifully regurgitate the talking point that government now needs taxes for roads.

Most Russians. Just because you can point to a Russian who is "not like that" does not invalidate my claim. Their culture and value system is radically different from ours, and it would be wrong of us to assume that they just need to be "educated" or "freed". They're well aware of what's on the other side of the fence. They like what they have, or they would have changed it by now. Specifically, they like their brutal "dog eat dog" culture, because most are eager to be the one on top. They don't hate the game, they just hate losing.

Any not on a sketchy web site?

Looks like blu ray in being tight fisted with patents, saying "you must pay more or do without".

World: We choose to do without.

Blu ray: Let's not get hasty, fellas!

Not being able to play blu ray on your computer without buying more software isn't helping.

I got a pair of real eclipse glasses with my copy of Sky & Telescope's eclipse guide. They don't work very well with my glasses so I'll do the pinhole camera thing for the partial phases.

Loved Dr. Becky's collander.
