Timing is about right for it to be a batch of newly minted CS grads getting into their first corporate jobs.

It’s an issue given that almost everything everyone buys relies on sea traffic. If it doesn’t, then something required to make it did.

For example: the amount of wheat and grain that travels via ship is insane. And those facilities can’t just be built overnight. They need railways to be built and need massive amounts of concrete that itself needs months to years to properly cure so that they can store grain in it. And without those facilities, many parts of the world not directly at sea level will suffer and starve.

No. The melting of the ice caps is now self-sustaining. We dont have enough energy as a species to begin to reverse it now, and it is making itself worse now with every day.

The current glacier they’re worried about in Antarctica is estimated to increase global sea levels by up to 3 meters.

That, by itself puts every single port in the world partially underwater, and most of the major airports too. That means every developed country in the world is looking at death and famine at a scale not seen since the Permian Extinction.

And thats just one glaicier that will be popping before 2030. All of Greenland is also in the process of popping, and that could mean 10m plus of sea level rise by 2050.

Climate change.

Ww3 may or may not happen. Hopefully not.

But regardless of that, Climate change will wipe us out.

Better to analyze for vulnerabilities. Particularly with a number of governments using open source software hosted on github.

You need that extra time, or you have the issue Vancouver has where international students with no given Canadian income own something like 30% of the city’s luxury housing.

Obligatory Fuck EA for the bullshit they pulled.

They buried the game launch intentionally behind Battlefield 1.

Mentions UBlock seems.to be fast and safe, but that the API used lets extensions look at everything you do amd can dramatically affect browser speed. Implying that UBlock Origin is responsible for Chrome being such a memory Hog and that they, not Google, are the ones after your data.

What a garbage article. Chock full of google propaganda and fear mongering.

(I was making a joke by describing Skyrim. The college is Winterhold.)

It would have to be more melee based, maybe in a northern area of Europe with a heavy scandanavian focus.

Maybe the radiation gave them magical abilities. Have a sorry redneck excuse for a magical college up in the north east of the map in the remnants of a ruined city.

Simple, the original team that made DA:O went off to do other things or was promoted into management where they did well, but couldn’t replicate the magic of their OG team.

Particularly given that the design quality houses a whole slew of critically bad design choices.

Like shock absorber brackets and axel mounts that can’t handle simple offroad loads.

Yes. Absolutely.

However, no one has taken the companies that started doing that to task, and now even companies like John Deer have been pulling that shit.

Hell, Monsanto actually took farmers to court on that principle for growing crops that had been naturally cross pollinated with “their” GMO crops using that principle.

I am not disagreeing with you. I am stating what we have allowed the rich fucks to get away with.

Its in the standard terms of service now for the big AAA publishers.

As far as I am aware, most of the game and sofrware companies get around it by stating you’re no longer buying a thing, but buying a non-transferrable licence to use the thing but you never actually own anything.

Yup. Its more that she just doesn’t like movies in general, and our leisure time is not spent in front of the TV.

Although we(our dnd groups) are working on her since roughly 50% of ttrpgs is references to those two or trek.

Gf is nerdy and loves ttrpgs.

Hasn’t seen star wars or lotr.

Its apparently not that uncommon a move, as according to what I’ve watched about it, it allows the company using the trick to go public without going through the checks and balances that the FTC usually does.

What is uncommon is that they fucked it up at least twice that I can recall. They were supposed to go public summer 2023.

You’re looking at it from the wrong angle.

He wants a tough sentence with jail time.

1. As a technically “first offender” they can argue that it shows obvious bias and get a favourable appeal result.
2. It plays to Putin and other autocrat propaganda. “See how the US actually is, we have the same democracy here” sort of thing.
3. Most importantly, it plays to his cult and to his ego, he gets to stoke dangerous things which very nearly almost worked last time (only thanks to Pence and the few cops who stood up to the mob.) and he gets a ton of attention from his cult for it.
