I’d argue dark matter is the most elusive, but... room temperature semiconductor would probably be way more useful.

It’s about building a respectable, corporate, cannabis business. As you can do in California or Colorado. But the distinction is totally lost on Facebook and YouTube since they don’t do nuance.

Those are some nice games, but goddamn that thing is tacky.

The funny thing is that given how corporate and safe the game is it’s actually much less bad than, say, PewDiePie or the Pauls, but YouTube is happy to send plenty of advertising their way.

At this point any zombies are too many zombies. It’s done. Played out. Find some other cliche.

Any time Facebook talks about Big Brother it is creepy. Okay, Facebook is creepy even when it doesn’t talk about Big Brother.

‘Big Brother Is Watching’ is one of those ‘HAHA it’s funny because it’s true’ things - like when Ajit Pai jokes about being Verizon’s bitch.

I’m guessing there were multiple eggs and they cannibalized each other. This fly was the survivor of the battle royale, which is how it got this big.

This gives you tons more privacy, and the system performance is positive. Like an adblocker, you’ll burn less bandwidth and CPU by using it.  I don’t want to oversell that, you probably won’t even notice any difference, but it is going to make it a teeny bit faster.

Fun fact: If you use this (I do), your Win10 installation is now spying on you even less than a Win7 or Win8 installation, since they backported a lot of that telemetry to those.

The Interstellar black hole also has the advantage of much higher resolution. It’s amazing it exists at all, but the EHT image is pretty low-res. There are doubtless some of those fringe-y wisps hidden in there, like in the GRMHD simulation.

From the original blog post, there are lots of places where FCC claims 100% ‘access’ but only 2% of people actually have it - as business class internet. Those numbers are not just grandma not wanting the interwebs. It means that in practice normal consumers do not have reasonable access.

Well if you don’t care about the cost, then 100% of the entire world has broadband available. You just run your own fiber or set up your own repeaters or rent satellites. If you have the money, you can get broadband. Someone will do it for you.

Well we know it’s lies fabricated by Verizon, Comcast, and the other pathological liars.

Oh shit, you’re right, the divorce. Probably still some Activision thinking there then. That’s hard to wash off.

A lot of the potential ‘positives’ in here are exactly what we heard about Anthem too.

How about just giving the dang money back rather than just making the item completely unusable for six months?

It would probably be healthy (for themselves) for those people to stop frothing every time the game is mentioned at this point. They’ve been lied to about a lot of games, and this is one of the few that’s actually been updated over many years, for free, to meet those initial promises.

Certain corners of the internet just wallowed in the launch issues (and yes, there were lies) like pigs in shit. They loved to hate it. And at the time the game maybe deserved it, but this became a self-licking lollipop that has sustained itself to this day. Like some gamers still sneer at Kotaku as a source just…

Difficulty for Anthem: EA
