That's kind of true except with BluRay they can issue an update that prevents you from playing what you already own. So far it's been unintentional mistakes and they fix it eventually, but it proves the potential exists. The issue here is more you pay for something thinking that you put $70 into something that's going to provide years of entertainment and at the drop of a hat they revoke your ability to play. It's what's always concerned me about WoW, StarCraft II, and other games that require you to be online to play. At some point if that goes away everything you've built is gone.

When we were forced to go look we found Nutanix is actually a better product. Easier to scale, more nimble, n tier nodes mean that if one server dies as long as there's enough resources in the remaining stack things fail over and the users never even know we lost a server. I didn't like the idea at first but it has worked out very well for us.

Kind of like kindergartner paintings to China eh?

No official should profit off their office... unless it's Pelosi, or any of the numerous public officials making millions on a 100k per year salary. He should just go back to looking in the mirror with his hair gel.

Is it just me that sees it as a tad ridiculous that the leaders of these companies need external regulations to avoid safety issues? To me it seems like they're trying to find someone else to blame when what they're developing turns into a problem. As leaders they should be accountable to ensuring the proper safeguards are in place and responsible if they fail in that regard. No regulation required if they do their jobs.

Just think about what's going on today that you won't hear anything about until 50 years from now.

Unless there's a pandemic, and then you go to jail for having church services.

I'm cracking up because they do seem to be everywhere right now. But whether the popularity and exposure is manufactured or not the talent is certainly there. That guitarist is an absolute pedal wizard. And the drummer is pretty fantastic too.

Not everything in the 80s was synths and drum machines. The Smiths, The Cure, Echo And The Bunnymen, Simple Minds, XTC, Midnight Oil. There were a lot of good bands that used real instruments. Not saying there isn't a place for bands like Depeche Mode, New Order but it wasn't all like that.

No, the slop part is in the submitting. Linus has even talked about it. Multiple people submitting the same bugs often times without vetting is it a bug, why is it a bug, what's the resolution to the bug. 1000s of people submitting bugs like this does not make things better. It makes it a maintenance nightmare to wade through all of that.... slop.

Welcome to the future.

To me the time is just a number. I think it'd solve a lot of problems to just adopt UTC world wide. It'd be an adjustment at first, but eventually everyone would get used to sunrise and sunset being at their regional time and we could focus on things that matter.

https://www.usinflationcalcula... Biden had 8% inflation during his presidency. Granted Covid was a contributing factor, but it seems to me if anyone got a pass it was Biden. The media certainly never held his feet to the fire the way they do with Trump.

No it's great. I think all these guys who have mansions have a lot of space on their properties. Let's put them there.

See, this is the comment I was looking for. Well done!
