Comment Market share (Score 2) 18

I suspect that "market share" is a lot about what kind of games heavy players are playing on Steam right now. March was when Slay the Spire 2 was released, a very Linux friendly game, popular with Linux demographics. Months where DRM-ridden MMOs or extraction shooter of the month dominates - which is most of them - will see lower Linux use.

That was a joke in reference to venues getting squeezed. Yes, studios and distributors never succeeded in getting a share of concessions, but they have tried, and by all accounts it's miserable to be in the venue business compared to the studios/distributors business.

FYI, it's also a bad idea to throw "conspiracy theory" around to describe garden-variety private profit maximizing schemes. Reserve it for grand conspiracy theories, those that would actually require superhuman levels of coordination and secrecy. You'll regret your rhetorical huffing and puffing in defense of Hollywood when actual grand conspiracy theories take hold of society and fuck up things for you personally.

I recall an explanation of charge separation in clouds when waterdrops would form a thin layer of ice which would shatter in tiny pieces. This would leave a charged waterdrop behind. The ice fragments and the waterdrop would move at very different speeds and this would lead to separation of charge.

I wonder if those water drops have the right charge for corrosion.

it is possible to calculate the total amount of radiation she was exposed to, and to map that to tables that link radiation exposure to risk of cancer and death.

The tables can probably be challenged - I recall indications that the risks of long term low intensity exposure were overrated. But regardless of that, there will be a question of 'how high does the number for risk of getting cancer have to be before the judge decides the state has to pay compensation?
