Actually I did not say my vehicle was more expensive. The payment was way less than $150 per day. No one would pay that for a compact car. And it does do everything I need as I dont offroad. Well I do need to rent a truck from home depot once in a while but obviously most people dont buy a moving truck.

Depends. Are you tunnel visioned and can he see a bigger picture? If you jump to conclusions about the fact your boss is deciding something it may be worth asking if you have all the information that has led to the decision.

I'm not saying you are wrong, I'm saying you should ensure you've covered all bases before assuming you're right. Over my career I've seen countless bosses make idiotic decisions, but I've also seen countless bosses' decision declared idiotic only for them to either make sense, or be forced and logical based on information that the people making the assessment lacked.

It's like those people who complain about "change for change's sake". There's no such thing. Change costs money, and the expense is justified for a reason. The reason may simply not be immediately obvious to you.

Not just sports junkies. A very significant group of people don't watch streaming to be entertained by streaming. They watch *specific show* to be entertained by *specific show*. For those people, chopping and changing is not a viable strategy since they want to watch specifically show X at specifically time NOW.

It's true that buying a vehicle is a huge hassle, but that's also a necessity because I need a vehicle. That's why I try to buy a vehicle that is good for everything I need it for and make it last as long as I can. The last couple times I rented a vehicle, they couldn't even find the one I reserved. We had to wait for over a half hour just for them to retrieve it. They needed a credit card, and I dont really like to use credit cards. Then there is the guilt trip over causing damage to the vehicle. The last time I was thinking of renting the cheapest was $150 per day. There is no way my own vehicle costs that much, and it is much nicer and more comfortable than the rental. If we are talking about not having a car and renting occasionally then that is a totally different discussion.

yeah I have never been that sensitive to smells. In fact my parents used to work in the oil industry and would take me to work. Later I worked on cars and did lots of burnouts. Petrolium smells give me good memories. There are a lot of bad smells in the world, it must be hard to function. The thing i hate about EVs is the metal on metal squealing sound. It's like fingernails on the blackboard. I cringe when one passes by.

Somehow, I'm still surprised when I see how quickly the lackeys fall into line whenever Trump makes some random pronouncement.

Why should you be surprised by this? Appeasing the executive branches of the government under which you operate is simple generally accepted good business practice. You'd be dumb not to fall in line. Something as simple as stroking the ego of someone with a marketing term can move share prices when talking about any business that may allow a government policy to have a financial impact.

Just look at Anthropic.

You can see how badly the game runs on current console hardware even in the cherry-picked footage they showed to you in the trailer.

I'm just hoping you can turn off all the raytracing shit. They put a lot of raytraced footage in the trailer and you can see denoising is doing a lot of heavy lifting, especially in the in-side vehicle scenes where shadow lighting is completely unstable and hugely distracting.

I prefer to have baked in lighting, than global illumination with shadows which look like they are on meth.

LOL. I don't know where people get this fantasy idea from that AnyPS5 will run anything at all on Linux better than the PS5. At this point it can barely walk games on Linux, let alone run them. Only the most basic of games are truly performant and playable.
