Yes, but Epic’s CEO sided with Blitchung and supported a free Hong Kong during that controversy last year. If China (or a Chinese company) actually had any tangible influence over Epic they would have flipped their shit and did everything they could to destroy Epic. But none of that happened. It’s just the bog…

Let me go find it. I didn’t save it. *google* Found it:

And now here’s a fun fact to bring some levity:

The harm is coming from Apple, not Epic.  Apple dragged the others into this fight.  And the other companies that have said anything have supported Epic.

The dance moves in question here were not long enough

Epic still never paid no one to my knowledge.

Epic isn’t an arm of Tencent in the slightest. During the Blitzchung incident caused by Blizzard, Epic’s CEO actually defended Blitzchung. If Tencent actually had any real sway over Epic that would never happen.

Actually if Epic wins all developers big, small, and indie win as well. Imagine if you made a game that only made money from ethically monetized cosmetics. You are the one that put in the hard work to make the game. Why should Apple take 30% of all the money your customers want to pay to you? All they do is list it in…

The thing about that is, Epic wouldn’t even think about bypassing Apple’s exorbabant rates if Apple didn’t set it so fucking high.

We have all shapes and sizes of fried potatoes. I imagine that the skinny sticks take less time to cook and that’s why they are ubiquitous at fast food places. Regular restaurants tend to have fatter fries.

While this is a fair point, I think the marginal utility of french fries is still pretty high for the first 20 fries, which is all that is being considered here.

I’ve found that, in general, people really don’t get the idea of diminishing marginal utility.

I mean, living in Phoenix is pretty much living in an Air Fryer. 

(10 minutes or so drive thru to drive way, so not close enough to be convenient)

Science agrees. Microwaving fries is disastrous.

Never use an insulating bag.  They get steamed and go limp.  Better cold than soggy

You cannot revive fried potatoes in a microwave, like you cannot revive cold coffee in a microwave. This is akin to a shambling zombie as compared to a species that gave us Christina Applegate and the guy who invented the Rubik’s Cube.

Since we had a kid, our McDonald’s fry situation has been abysmal, it takes about ten minutes or so to get home and he wants fries on the road. It wasn’t great before then and I’m ashamed to admit that I’ve considered getting a insulated bag even before the boy showed up.

They can be resurrected with a squirt of malt vinegar and 40 seconds in the microwave.

I finally broke down and went to McDonald's the other night just to get fries, your timing pretty much checks out.  After about 15 minutes they're only edible if you slather them in ketchup and mayo.
