Don’t bike helmets also “expire” after three to five years?

They are art! They are just art expressed through the design and implementation of rules. This is a superb example of bad art.

Yeah. There's...a lot to take on with this shitshow.

If abortion is murder, why aren’t we forced to donate organs to keep other people alive? Why isn’t that a law?

I confess I was going to point out this article doesn't tell us how this thing works, and then I read the source and realized that the people who developed it also have no idea how it works.

I’m not really sold on the idea refillable will be any better, although I’m hardly in some zero-waste ivory tower.

Imagine wanting to remember you were associated with a game this puerile and stupid.

There isn’t a political justification or legal excuse for firing on unarmed people, especially when the murderer went far out of their way to be in that situation in the first place. He may have been acquitted but he's guilty as sin and you damn well know it.

You'd think with Shanghai still isolated and Beijing heading the same way they'd maybe focus on that but guess not.

But was that point made in good faith?

They’d probably export all of it anyway.

Reminder that increasingly natural gas “peakers” are being replaced with renewable power resources and batteries, so the next time somebody at your town council meeting crybabies about that “eyesore” of a solar field, ask them if they’ll cover everybody’s gas bill.

Probably in PART because Ercot put up an elevated heat warning. 

Put twenty hours into it. It was fun! Nothing worldshaking and it got repetitive past a certain point (PCF's sweet spot seems to be like 12 to 18 hours of gameplay) but fun.

Embracer is a bit worrying because they’re snapping up smaller companies left and right (they just bought Dark Horse Publishing, for example) and it’s not terribly clear how they’re paying for all this or how all this is expected to pay for itself.

I cannot imagine how the employees feel to basically have their work sold at a yard sale.

It’s a state run pension fund, so this is probably fiduciary duty more than anything, but they do raise an important question nobody’s gotten an answer to. Who retains liability? I find it hard to believe Kotick is just unloading the company and will nobly take responsibility for his actions. If it turns out Microsoft…

So basically the pension fund will be happy to let this deal go through provided Microsoft doesn’t assume Kotick’s liabilities and he doesn’t make any money off dumping his liability? Seems reasonable.

Squeenix seems to want out of the games market entirely. Which... OK, they’re not doin’ so hot because the gaming market is unhinged. But this is breathtakingly dumb.

There is a reasonable use case for them, but it is not the current use case, and it is absolutely NOT unloading actual profit-making entities to invest in it.
