I think it was inconsistent on purpose. The whole speech in the middle about how “they’re going to make the sequel [game in the script, but we all knew what it was really about] with or without you, so wouldn’t you rather be involved to make sure it goes right” went right past meta and really became the primary text…

Kotaku lost them today too.  AVClub was sold the other day, along with Takeout, but I haven’t seen any news about Kotaku.

Maybe. And after four of five rounds of doing that, they might actually issue a meaningful decision. The SEC is glacial. Plus, that’s assuming that they still have any regulatory authority at all, and that whatever rules they issue survive a court challenge.

And honestly, the original “legitimate” use was kind of dodgy anyway.  There are reasons you have to jump through hoops to get listed on the big exchanges.  SPACs bypass that

Thanks, but I owe my knowledge on this to reading Cory Doctorow rants.

“Special Purpose Acquisition Companies” are a special feature of late-stage Capitalism, and part of the Private Equity bag of tricks for extracting blood from a stone. You create a company with no actual business, but sell shares in it none the less. You use the money from selling the shares to buy something. If you…

This is going to be so damn funny when the stock craters to 10% of its strike price in the first week.

I live pretty much in the path of totality in Ohio. I literally just have to walk out past my trees and look up.

Headline: “About to get more efficient.”

This would simplify the process of deciding where to eat.

Americans put up with a lot when we fly: we take our shoes off, go through metal detectors, and dump our water, all in the name of safety.

OSIRIS manages to get there at the exact same day as Apophis’ closest approach?

I mean, Q isn’t exactly connected to time quite the same way. Even if the end of season 2 is the last time Q sees Picard before evaporating in a puff of logic, that doesn’t mean that there aren’t times Q had been around in Picard’s future.

And there’s this moth outside my kitchen door
She’s bonkers for that bare bulb
Flying round in circles
Bashing in her exoskull
And out in the woods she navigates fine by the moon
But get her around a light bulb and she’s doomed

Which proves this is just another case of legislators writing laws to govern things they don’t understand.  If you’re using cookies to track if a customer has given consent, there are any number of things that can cause that cookie to be discarded, and they can’t be shared across devices.  If they’re using something…

Which means they’ll ask you once *per device*. Unless you log out of the site or your cookies otherwise get cleared, then they’ll have to ask you again.

So these drugs don’t actually make you lose weight. They don’t burn calories faster or prevent your body from storing them.

There was a Steam logo on the card at the end, so I assume it’s coming to PC immediately.

When I played it, and I got to the bit where you’re wandering around the farmhouse at night before heading back to Seattle, I damn near stopped playing the game right there, rather than actually make that decision. I knew what it would mean at the end of the game.
