OH SHIT THEY HAVE A GUN BLAM BLAM BLAM SHOTS FIRED SHOTS FIRED REQUESTING BACKUP!

Maybe it’s the other way around like in Futurama. They’re broadcasting ads into your subconscious and dreams.

People with underlying health issues more likely to run into health problems. Amazing journalism.

Similar to alcohol or drugs, legalisation can make things safer. As a bonus it can also open a new revenue stream for government through taxes.

Look at the legalisation of weed in some American states. Instead of a shady dealer you could go into a store. Instead of whatever they had at the time, you have known quality goods. Yes, there’s a lot more nuance to it than that, but the general idea is that it takes away randomness/unknowns, and as a bonus: organised crime that would otherwise have been profiting from the industry lose out.*

For gambling the same kind of logic applies. People are going to be gambling anyway, so add in some legal frameworks that can make sure that things are more of a known value, and hopefully less likely to cause harm. Perfect example: you get stiffed on a win? If it’s an off the books thing and you complain you’ll probably end up with broken legs. If it’s a legalised thing you could go to court or a regulatory body.

Sounds like they would need to redesign the system in some way to solve the issue, e.g. move the SD card slot away from heat generating components. Depending on the volume of sales and complexity of the work, they could have decided it would be more viable from a monetary standpoint to not do anything.

To use Apple as the example, it’s the combination of hardware and software, how it all ties together, and also how it locks you in and makes it more difficult to go elsewhere.

iMessage is a good example, it’s easy to access across Apple devices, but you can’t really access it simply on Android, there’s been a few attempts by 3rd parties to bridge the gap, but Apple does what they can to squash those.

It was definitely not the world’s best movie, but given it was literally an adaptation of the board game Battleship, it was better than it has any right to be. I would say better game adaptation than Halo.

It’s him unfortunately. He started feeling unwell 3 weeks ago, had a heart attack like event last week, turns out undetected terminal liver cancer, too unwell for any treatment. It sucks, but every day he has left is a gift.

I’d like to be able to donate liver to my dad.

It looks good, but the dialogue has me concerned, too many jokes. They could have just picked out most or all of the jokes to make the trailer though.

Both.

The top 0.01% are able to exert more and more influence over the world, and are using it to concentrate wealth even more into their own pockets.

And regular people have access to smartphones that allow them to communicate worldwide instantly. The cost of more basic smartphones has plummeted, so more people have more cameras connected straight to social media.

But it’s also that some things are genuinely worse. I am fairly sure that there are still more slaves alive today than at any other point in history. However as a percentage I believe it’s lower, it’s just due to the world population being so high.

The ex prime minister of Australia, Scott Morrison, shit himself at Engadine Macca’s in 1997 after the sharks list the premiership.

Truly, one of the stories of all time.

Always good for a creepy “laugh”

I hope other governments, small and large, start doing this.
