Well yeah - but it’s a private server. This is like putting a mic in everyone’s home to catch harassment. Yes, it’ll catch some bad folks, but the price is everyone gets to live in a police state. And you just know someone is going to report you every time you have sex.

The new “ammo” is supposed to be disposable heat sinks, with the idea being that this way, you could just replace your heat sink whenever your gun overheated, instead of having to wait for it to cool down.

I love the Fractal Define series for this reason - looks sexy, and has those nice sound-blocking side panels. I haven't had to get a new case ina few years, but I'm pretty sure they are still making new versions of it.

“10 percent of a single month’s rent for a studio apartment in today’s market.”

It’s not really an either/or situation. These groups try to hit as many targets as they possibly can, 99% of which will fail. But they can get enough money from the other 1% that the failure rate doesn't matter.

These aren’t traditional hackers who do this out of some sort of twisted ethics - this is an organized crime group. The same sort of people who engage in human trafficking, protection rackets, drug dealing, prostitution, illegal gambling, etc. When criminals realized just how much money could be made through…

What a pretty kitty😊

Why is Raphael more than twice as big as the others? Is this movie about his anabolic steroid abuse?

So, the money either goes too Nightdive, who made a horrible version, or to the company that holds the rights to the franchise? Not to advocate piracy, but it feels like the most just thing to do would almost be to download a “gray” copy and donate what you would have spent to the makers of the fan remaster.

I’m conflicted, because, on the one hand, I don’t want this tool making even more money, but on the other, I really want to see him get the crap kicked out of him 🤔

They won't start building those until their backs are against the wall, sadly, at which point it will probably be too late.

It’s still a tiny percentage over all. Over two-thirds of the water is being used for agriculture. At most, you might drop usage by a few percentage points.

It says in the article he never attended the homophobic church? And you can go to church and like the pastor without being religious. It’s just a building, and a pastor is just a person. It doesn’t smite heathens for entering. I know quite a few folks who attend church despite not believing, usually because their…

If people can choose their pronouns, why not their names? Why would you hate on someone for that? What has he done to you to make you openly hate him so much?

He looks like he hangs out behind the dumpsters collecting girls' fingernail clippings and old hairbrushes, to put up in the shrine in his bedroom.

I’m sure they’ll target them eventually, they are just starting at the worst, most obvious target - the one that was marketing to children. It's not like they can take them all on at once.

Except for the billions of tax dollars the government ends up spending on cancer treatments for smokers and vapers? That comes equally from everybody, whether they vape or not, and could otherwise be going to, say, infrastructure or our terrible education system.

I’m sure they'd love to ban regular cigarettes too, they just lack the power to do so at the moment. Not sure why banning a company that marketed nicotine to children gets so much criticism. You have to start somewhere, and this seems like a proper place to do so.

Well, it's not like they're going to hurt Duke's reputation if they mess it up at this point. In terms of games to adapt, this might actually be one of the better candidates out there, since there isn't exactly a lot of canonical lore out there that they could screw up, which is the thing I usually end up hating the…

The biggest issue in CA is still that agriculture gets to effectively use unlimited water thanks to grandfathered contracts - compared to how much they waste thanks to effectively free water, home use is almost nothing.
