Free market - it’s cheaper.

You can put a 32 or 64 gig SD card on the ‘older’ 3ds - it works just fine - if you have an SD card reader on a computer you can copy the contents off the one that’s currently in it to a computer - then copy them to the new one and plug it in and go - all the files will move over without any special gimmick.

I don’t know - considering my comment really is just a heads up for people. The research on increased tornadoes was done by Steve Root of accuweather - but my hope was this type of advice (hey pay attention) was neutral enough on it’s own.

Any dog can bite - just like any human can snap and kill - any animal really.

For people who live in tornado ally - Pay attention this season as El Nino typically predates a very active tornado season.

Sure - I get that, I just don’t accept on it’s face that piracy helps or hurts sales (of whatever). The idea that piracy is a lost sale is easy to make and sounds so rational that it has bought all kinds of laws and shenanigans to ‘combat’ piracy.

Thanks... /hattip

I can link one if you’d like - but it’s just as easy to claim it’s not accurate - that’s why I’m curious - there are always people on both sides claiming that piracy hurts/helps sales and now that we have something that has made a dent in the piracy bucket it’d be interesting to see just how much it does affect things.

Aren’t many of the most classic movies results of staying in budget forcing choices that resulted in better tension/plot than otherwise would have occured?

“With games no longer hemorrhaging money because AAA title X was easy to crack”

Actually the sound you make is the filing of bankruptcy which discharges all settlements like this (with very small exceptions where you can prove criminal mallice - usually reserved for drunk driving injury settlements).

As a separate issue “

Um yes - it is piracy according to the MPAA. DVDs and Blu-Ray are encrypted. I have to break that to copy the material. I don’t have authorization to do either. And due to the DMCA that makes me a ‘pirate’ as much as sharing the work does.

Yeah - although I’ll admit to getting a no longer in print movie they used to play on TV in the 70's-early 90's. One of several that never made it’s way onto a real DVD.

Thanks for the name :) I do agree - although on counter point they have tried to show his ‘evil’ just in a very very roundabout way (whatever he did to the first bad guy, the quick face change with the street preacher) - while this show is clicking on all my buttons (fun, witty, very likeable main character, good…

Well it is early - for the show’s longevity I’d expect them to have him continue the slide quickly - and resolve that right around the time that Chloe figures out that he’s the real deal.

I suppose - although to counter your point it isn’t the governments job to ‘keep filming under wraps’. In fact, I’d argue that it’s the governments job specifically to make sure people to whom it’s responsible are informed as well as can be.

You assume that the dry spell is an anomaly. The historic records indicate otherwise:

See my take on it is - anyone that wants to shut down a public road has to get a license to do so. To purchase said license they have to pay the government for the license and get a permit - at some point in the permit process they have to explain what they are doing.

It started with the waving noodle guy... but I didn’t consider the fact that it was 30 feet tall and the power lines are only 20 feet up to be a big deal. Everything was fine until a small hole developed causing him to fall over - then he hit the power lines and took out power to 1000 people. It was a party alright...
