Yeah I think mid last year there where leaks suggesting it was at a beta stage with internal playtesting.

Maybe poor old Alyx can finally stop hanging off that literal cliff lol.

Or its all bullshit. I probably will get me a steam box thingo though. I always had a rule back in the day where I timed my upgrades for Half life releases. And windows has pushed itself past my pain tolerance with its nonsense lately so maybe steamos might get an install out of me.

Im fairly sure quite a few of his supporters have been coming to that conclusion.

I'd wager if you got MTG away from a camera and the threat of being smacked by trumps team of lawyers, she'd have some choice words on this matter. (and probably some crazy words on it too, this is after the jewish space lazer woman, but I digress.....)

How come the New Development Bank still uses US dollars? Wasn't BRICS supposed to have replaced the dollar by now?

Are you going to invest in this:

"On March 25, 2025, the New Development Bank (NDB) successfully priced a 3-year USD 1.25 billion benchmark bond paying an annual coupon of 4.375%. The bond was issued on March 31, 2025, under the Bankâ(TM)s Euro Medium Term Note Programme."

Or this:

"On December 4, 2025, the New Development Bank (NDB) successfully issued a three-year RMB 3 billion Panda bond in the China Interbank Bond Market priced at a coupon rate of 1.88%." https://www.ndb.int/news/new-d...

4.375% in US dollars, or 1.88% in RMB?

And where are the BRICS currency bonds?

but the biggest problem lies in the fact that they're being used in production by people who just took a 4 week full-stack developer bootcamp and have little understanding of the underlying protocols, security concerns, application layers and boundaries, or indeed software architecture in general.

Indeed. And that is the core problem when an engineering discipline cannot perform or cannot perform well: incompetence.

"Volkswagen warned of potential production cuts last year, as it faced shaky demand in Europe and China, its biggest market, as well as higher tariffs that have crimped sales in the United States.

After 24 years of vehicle production, the Dresden plant will be converted into a research hub focused on technologies like artificial intelligence ..."

Is "high energy costs" a hallucination or a troll?

- William Clark's Lewis and Clark diaries show that significant spelling variation can exist even as recently as the early 1800s.
- Despite this, the journals remain readable to modern readers with little effort.
- This suggests that standardized spelling is helpful but not essential for comprehension.
- The costs of spelling change over time are often overstated.

Fake news! The glaciers are really growing, CNN just plays the video in reverse, everyone knows it, even backward people know it, I checked with Eric. The atmosphere loves USA gas, it tells me all the time, air loves talking to me just after lunch, telling me how competent I am to a hymn of trumpets and tubas. So grand!
