For individuals there really is only one reasonable course here. Ignore the sensational studies and news.
Man, if you're getting your science information from news stories, the problem is you.
We live in a world where the actual study is a click away. At least read the abstract.

However, this is a significant extension of entanglement. Understanding things in this arena are central to breakthroughs in quantum computing.
Indeed, getting entanglement to work right may be the biggest barrier to quantum computing currently.

Comment $5 to $20 games exist now; IARC self-rating (Score 1) 102
Digital games themselves did not lower prices, despite them being marketed as doing so without the cost of materials/packaging/handling/shipping
From the summary: "Current prices are tied to retail. Without physical discs holding digital hostage we'll see a larger spectrum of pricing." As I understand this, paid downloads did not lower prices of AAA games because of retail price parity contracts. Paid downloads did, however, make the $5 to $20 tier for indie game pricing viable.
One thing not mentioned in the summary is that publishers of games distributed in physical copies owe a royalty to the age rating agency of each region in which a game is published. Publishers of downloadable games do not, instead relying on self-certification through the IARC form. The age rating agencies allow this because it's a lot more practical to update a game once it is found to have been misclassified.

Easy for me to find lots of interesting things on Mastodon. I think, despite what people say, they love the rage bait on the bigger networks. Mastodon is just normal people discussing normal topics.
Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person who ever posts in the tag for a particular toy line. Either I guessed the wrong tag, or I'm the only person on fedi interested in that topic. Which is more likely?
