Just to be clear, I don’t think $20B is as expensive as you might think it is. Most estimates put a new nuclear powerplant cost around $12B~$17B.

Heh, size has nothing to do with it.

Here are some of the massive problems with future commercial fusion power that have nothing to do with size:

It depends on the game. If it’s an FPS or RTS/4X or anything that requires placement of stuff, 100% keyboard/mouse. A controller cannot come even close to the level of mouse/keyboard. Even the best FPS player on controller would get trounced by great players on mouse/keyboard in a heartbeat.

How misinformed. Nothing can beat a mouse and keyboard for first/third person or strategy kinds of games. Or really, any 3d world with lots of controls. Only things controllers are good for are MK/SF kinda fighting, platformer, and racing. People who use controller for shooting games don’t realize the game aims for…

A keyboard and mouse is ideal for games that require precise aiming, literally anything else a controller is better. There’s no in between.

I’m a life-long PC person. I don’t understand why anyone would want a gamepad. The controls and labels aren’t standardized. Their capabilities aren’t standardized, either. Among the three major console companies, all of them have an X button and all of them put it in a different place, and aftermarket versions may…

Calling it an ‘abomination’ right out of the gates? Calm down.

I don’t think it’s deliberate, it’s that they can’t actually de-age people accurately - the computer is probably making a best guess based on current facial markers, rather than photo mapping from an old picture. It’s the same reason Robert DeNiro did not look at all like a young Robert DeNiro in The Irishman.

fuck this guy

I hope he goes missing and is never to be heard from again. 

The egomaniacal sociopath keeps conning people out of money, and they give it eagerly. So nice to be a con-man, at least as long as the jig isn’t up...

“Russian propagandists receives $500,000 from untraceable source months before major US election.”

FFS, it has nothing to do with the “closed iOS ecosystem.”

“Sometimes you may need to view an ad”

Yes - and we can now directly compare profound weight loss via these drugs against placebo interventions, which is finally going to definitively show how dangerous the extra body mass itself is (20% reduction in cardio health issues is huge). No more “If I just exercised more, but didn’t lose the weight, I’d be…

Ozempic could be guaranteed to kill you in 40 years and it would still likely be safer than not living at a healthy weight. It’s insane how many people have no idea how many health risks come with even mild obesity.

I lost 50% of my body weight on wegovy. If you pair it with some lifestyle changes, you achieve some dramatic results.

I think these drugs need to be paired with an overall program that says hey we are going to get your weight off and your gonna feel great and then we’ll start you exercising and you can slowly come off the drug.

I lost 60 pounds on Mounjaro but funnily enough despite telling myself I was going to start going to the gym anyday now for 15 years it wasn’t until I lost the weight and felt great that I suddenly found the motivation to do so. Now I’m in the gym every day pushing hard and I’ve been able to stop Mounjaro and keep the…
