Hey folks, I been in a dead zone for a week so I left this hanging but I wanted to mention I really enjoyed reading all the replies.

I also have both... and while this is a sort of subjective discussion, there are some things that I can point out that are objectively different.

First, carts. A game cartridge is a physical thing that is sort of just... it’s a game. That thing is the game. You put the game in the console, and you play the game. It’s…

students would only be allowed to use the names and pronouns assigned to them at birth

Okay. We already know that Ronald D Moore was doing an adaptation of The DragonRiders of Pern, and was working with Anne and her kids closely to do a loyal script for an ongoing TV show at the WB in 1999. It was THIS close to shooting when the WB execs took a horrid money colored shit on the entire project, looking to…

See, I think that’s a much more interesting and compelling argument than a lot of what I’m seeing. Corporate control of these algorithms could, in fact, be a very big Thing that we’ll have to contend with - similar to Monsanto’s abuse of the patent system absolutely skullfucking farmers and muddying the waters around…

Less money per order, more money overall because they sell my info. 

“she lauded the chain’s installation of self-ordering kiosks and called them ‘one of our highest margin channels.’”

Can these tools be used in bad ways to rip off and steal from artists? Yeah, absolutely. And that sucks, but it’s hardly some fault of the software. Art builds upon itself - Michael Kutsche’s art is also an amalgamation of different peoples’ styles. If these algorithms are straight-up copy/pasting chunks of someone’s…

The megachain fast casuals are using it, from what I understand it’s quite helpful for work lunches where check splitting is the norm.

I walked in to a Taco Bell the other day, saw one of these things and walked right out.

They just installed these at our local McD’s. I refuse to use them. Not only do I prefer to deal with a human and not have to learn yet another user interface, those touch screens are gross germ factories.

I stayed at a Hyatt recently this summer as a stop-over during a longer trip. Couldn’t order room service or even see the menu without downloading their stupid World Of Hyatt phone app, which I then couldn’t activate, because apparently I was automatically signed up for some other “Hyatt” rewards program when I stayed…

Considering that the movie was made for HBO Max, I think the odds were pretty fair that it wasn’t going to make $90 million worth of new subscriptions for HBO Max. And as reputable sources like Deadline have reported, Discovery was taking advantage of a very specific accounting tactic that let them write off the…

Instead of destroying all product, if an entity wants to take the tax write off, then the entity should have to put all of the product into the public domain, and be be prohibited from making commercial use of it themselves.

I think they would need to offset the tax write-off they took if they decide to use it. I don’t think it is illegal to write something down and then “fix it” if/when you are actually able to realize value from the asset. They just wouldn’t be able to apply any of those costs toward offsetting the profits. (any tax…

They weren’t perfect before this merger, [cough] SPACE JAM 2! [cough], 

If I were them, I’d give 0 Fs at this point.

Also looks like the powers that be learned their lesson after Snyder stole the footage from their servers and used his cult to threaten everyone involved until he got his way.

Hum... Snyder’s stunt sounds familiar...

I liked the building tension during her training. She thinks Bruce is jealous that she’s hulking better than him, but during the stone thing he literally launches one in to orbit.

Bruce built the bar. Tony built the lab. Tony drank and complained about Steve while Bruce built the bar.

They also mentioned that her blood synthesizes gamma radiation differently (and likely better) than Bruce’s. That’s how he healed his arm.
