Regarding the first one, it’s always important to keep in mind that 95+% of car buyers are approaching their purchase like we enthusiasts might buy a washing machine.

To Don Cheadle.

I love your Haute Horology analogy, but for a different reason:

The majority of PP’s value is built into the exclusivity of the brand. They don’t make a ton of them, ever. But you could show most people a 6-figure platinum bullhead chrono and they’d have no clue what it was worth. Only people who are familiar with the…

You could threaten to take away their committee assignments if they don’t get on board with $15 minimum wage increase. So all of the perks, kickbacks, bribes, insider stock tips, and preferential treatment they receive as committee members could dry up.

Pushing the game back to mid 2021 would have given them enough time to polish the game and port it to current-gen consoles. However, I don’t think canceling the last-gen versions was ever a viable business choice. Retailers, investors, Sony/MS and customers alike would have all freaked out, especially given how early…

She wasn’t just conning wealthy elites. She left many businesses with debts that went unpaid for months/years due to the cons she did. 

There are actual adults with kids who grew up playing online games. We get it.

It‘s not like you‘d find a 1TB NVMe SSD that supports PCIe 4 for much less than that while not having to worry about connecting shitty cabeling to your console.

That’s just the cost of the technology, which is still incredibly new. A comparable speed/size drive for a desktop costs about the same.

Older games *can* run off the external drive, just not “next gen” ones. You’re right that some next gen games will just be ports, although again - some of the stuff like sampler feedback streaming is a bit more “automatic” and may result in even ports of last gen games utilizing less memory than they’d otherwise need…

My maternal great uncle Charlie(my grandma Ora’s baby brother) came home to Mississippi after WW2. In uniform. he stopped at a local gas station in Kosciusko to buy a coke. Some peckerwood asked him what he thought of Theodore Bilbo’s statement that (basically) all Black men who wore the uniform of THEIR COUNTRY…

My problem is that we literally never even see people attempt to debate about that fish sandwich. They just yell random non sequiturs about it.

Why would Gearbox forego what is presumably a lucrative deal with Epic with guaranteed money up front, along with a greater margin down the road?

The Puff player won the “I Quit!” match. The Ice Climbers player wanted his opponent to compete in a space that was to his favor but couldn’t force him to. He should’ve conceded defeat earlier instead of crying about it.

An Amtrak Orlando or Tampa to Atlanta route would be less than 750 miles which would require the FDOT and Georgia’s DOT to pay for the operating costs of the service. They could apply for grants to subsidize part of the construction cost but that would only be up to 50% of the cost, and they would have to raise the…

that’s taking the simulation aspect too far IMHO
