I mean they’re spending a million per day to keep the national guard deployed in DC. Just have them paint it.

Came here to day the same thing. They’re not everyone’s cup of tea, but Stanley Parable is a great example of a walking simulator that’s a great narrative game. I’d argue FireWatch is a pretty good game too.

I also use audiobookshelf in a weird way. I use it to read Manga and comics on my phone/e-reader.

While the folder structure it uses is a bit convoluted, the UI and apps are great.

I was so upset when they revealed his character in the show. It was one of the more interesting twists in the comics and really turned the story on its side (in a good way).

A change that recontextualizes so much of the story without actually breaking any of the narrative is pretty good writing in my book.

Needing to report incidents isn’t being held accountable. They’re not facing any consequences for breaking the law.

I mean, it’s obviously the company. The issue is the government doesn’t want to actually legislate and determine how you address issues where there is prison time and or licenses get revoked.

Its also not a problem, it’s an abdication of responsibility. Either the government needs to take a stance or the cars shouldn’t be on the road. Seems like instead the government is willing to risk our safety rather than take any firm stance.

They’re currently breaking the law and not being held accountable. The threat of eventually being held accountable is a step in the right direction, but the only reason they’re able to do this right now is due to money.

The fact that they weren’t being ticketed before means that we don’t even really know how bad these cars are, and yet they’ve been allowed to stay on roads with pedestrians and other cars.

Tax bills are congress, the FCC is the executive. So, one requires bipartisan support, the other can just be decreed.

Yeah, I think we may keep photoshopped in the vernacular to describe real photos that have been edited.

There is a big difference between edited and completely fabricated.

No, just a typo the article says 600,000 or 600K

It took Google a year to sell over a million pixels when they released, they didn’t even hit 600,000 sold in their first 3 quarters (looking at all of North America) - https://coolest-gadgets.com/google-smartphone-statistics/

So 600,000 people putting down a $100 deposit for a terrible phone is definitely suspicious.

I guess I was thinking of companies with an international presence, or did Worldcom exist outside of north America?

Damn, I didn’t realize it was still that high. I know that yahoo finance was big for a long time, but figured that had finally passed.

I guess I wouldn’t count that as dead then.

Risks are only for those who play fair. I’m not sure if there is anything Trump and his family could do that would make them actually face consequences, besides maybe loosing the midterms.

Anyone else find it hard to believe that there were 600,00 orders for this. That feels like another money laundering situation.

Edit: 600K

Worldcom was more than 20 years, but I also don’t know how “big” they were.

Gateway and Compaq might count, although just around the cusp.

Yeah, I was kinda considering the phone part a separate business and it definitely died after MS bought them.

They’re talking about the federal Supreme Court effectively overturning the Voting Rights Act this past week - https://apnews.com/article/supreme-court-voting-rights-act-louisiana-alabama-4e3225083caccda5ec73a98533a79add.

This has caused Louisana to stop an election already happening so they could redistrict, and is what Alabama is referencing for their redistricting push.

The VA case is different as their redistricting was never a federal issue. The VA Supreme Court said the legislation to kickoff a redistricting went against VA laws.

This has nothing to do with first past the post voting. Even if we had something like ranked choice voting gerrymandering would still be a thing. This is about how they’re drawing districts for house seats and dividing up voters.

I’ve been curious about them in the past, what’s the quality of the picture on the?
