then dejectedly pay hourly to play it on Xbox cloud instead.
The Xbox Cloud is built around Xbox Series X hardware in blade form. So if 30fps at console quality is not to customer's expectations, then they are going to walk away similarly dejected.

Well it is the day after the US midterm elections, so for some it will be the end of the world in a metaphorical sense.
What? No, it's not.
The midterms are on Tuesday, November 10th. Friday is not the day after Tuesday.

Let me clarify. Kids were waiting for buses in the dark. The reflective dots were being given out gratis by many businesses in order to make the kids more visible on the side of the road. Most kids in the US leave school by 3 PM. Itâ(TM)s not dark at 3 PM. If theyâ(TM)re leaving later than that, theyâ(TM)re getting picked up in a car. The only thing that has changed in 52 years is now we have a president who thinks you have to climb up the outside of a clock tower to move the hands on the clock twice a year. Stick to standard time year round.

US did year round DST for a year. It was a disaster. Kids walking into school buildings in the dark.
We would get free reflective dots at McD and other retailers to put on coats, shoes, bookbags.

Sigh. I'll bite.
The question seemed to assume it was a good question, and its premises were correct. They aren't. In fact, the CO2 DOES absorb incoming IR, and with the same cross-section, as it does outgoing IR. It doesn't "know which way the radiation is going."
Now, any honest thinker would realize that the question was silly, because it doesn't admit other mechanisms other than "blocking" [sic] of IR.

what is changing is how much we trap.
Why does this magic CO2 block outgoing IR, thus heating the Earth but not incoming IR, cooling the Earth? How does it know which way the radiation is going?
Think just a half-thought further, and question one of your assumptions. THEN you might have a point.

the actual production cost of $30 million as indicated by the tax writeoff stated value
The tax write-off can only be for part of the production cost, isn't it? You don't get to deduct the entire cost of the movie.
It's well-reported that WB sold the film below costs to Ketchup, and they paid $50 million for it.

Not all products meet a demand. In fact the vast majority of novel products actually create the demand in the first place.
Correct.
There is zero demand for Python on a microcontroller.
Incorrect.

Oh but they can spy on you and they do. They record what is shown on the screen, often as periodic snapshots, to determine what you are watching. It does not matter that you use chromecast; as long as it displays on your screen, the TV Can record it.
And they sneak in and swap out a memory card when you're not home?
