Seems that the process of inspections and fines for things that break regulations is missing some very important parts if they got dinged for it 4 years in a row: escalating penalties for repeat offenses and follow up inspections when there’s anything that fails (with a plan to bring it up to code and escalating penalties for failing to meet that plan or not taking steps other than “run it anyways” when a good faith effort to get to code runs into issues (which happens)).

And the escalating penalties should be paid, at least in part, to the people put at risk by whatever bullshit they are pulling. And not just cash penalties or even portion of revenue but equity.

Also why the fuck is the OS giving the web browser the option of giving it that access to the hardware?

He reminds me of Charlie’s weird uncle from Always Sunny.

If anyone ever gets a time machine, please be sure to go back to 2000 and inform Al Gore of this, along with “you playing nice won’t make them play nice”.

I mean, I’m nowhere near his age but have been losing words on the tip of my tongue since I was nowhere near my current age, so I’m not sure it’s the best indicator.

Is this photo real? What’s the source?

What does the actual paper say for that headline? That’s the whole point of holding that day’s paper, so others can compare to see if it’s the same paper, not just some paper with that day’s date on it.

And that’s ignoring that a war with China will mean access to the world’s factory will be cut off, meaning shelves in stores will go bare and prices will skyrocket even more for things produced outside of China (assuming China isn’t involved in some way in another part of that supply chain).

Maybe the con is longer than just this deal. Or maybe this is coming from someone other than Iran that wants the war to heat up rather than end (or even just to keep the strait closed).

Or maybe someone’s head got too big and they wanted to brag about manipulating Trump when it wasn’t yet strategically or tactically sound to do so.

He could end up with a fancy bunker door that leads to an unfinished tunnel.

Add in the cost of interested people who move on when they see “Uses Denuvo DRM” or whatever it says on the steam page.

I’ve got some games on my wishlist just to check back every now and then to see if they’ve removed it yet.

Yeah but on the other hand, if they are pardoned then the 5th doesn’t apply to them and they can face charges for not answering questions.

Wow, the AI models have really improved! If I hadn’t seen the original, the only thing that would have given it away is the unusually long wing on the flag that isn’t the crying stars and stripes.

First one works better. Second one sets off my fake detector but the first one goes under the radar.

Lol only 4 hours given? Sounds like the study runners also didn’t have enough patience to really study this. Or designed the study for the conclusion.

The way I suspect some of them were made: get 10 random people, present the problem to them and ask each person what they think the solution is. Say no to the first 9, then say yes to whatever the 10th person guesses. If they guess something previously guessed, then keep prompting for more information until the solution is so specific even people on the right track will be confused by it.

Also add endless segments where several specific squares of the grid have mandatory items, something prevents you from systematically searching the entire grid, and if you go too far, you die.

It goes even farther than that: games in the 80s didn’t even necessarily have consistent designs that could be trained in the first 30 minutes. Especially the adventure games. They were also perfectly willing to let you lose the game in act 1 but not tell you about it until act 3, where the way they do “tell you” is you don’t have any possible solution for a problem.

Like if you don’t get that delicious pie plus another food source early on, you’ll either die of starvation or the yeti will eat you later in the game.

But if you know what to do, the game becomes trivial.

I believe the new testament also makes it pretty clear that it’s not up to the followers to dole out God’s justice. Something something turn the other cheek and something something let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

Also pretty fucking arrogant to claim to speak on behalf of a diety. And pretty fucking stupid to believe anyone claiming such.

Generals gathered in their masses!

How much they actually fought depended a lot on the prince/duke.

Some led their troops into battle, some directed from the rear and had knights to defend them if the battle went poorly enough that the enemy engaged with them directly (with some fighting to the death from there, others surrendering to be ransomed, and some being killed whether or not the fought or surrendered), others fled as soon as they thought the battle wasn’t going their way (which often caused their side to lose even if it had a chance).

And some had a friend or subordinate lead their army while they maybe led a different army or maybe just chilled in the comfort of whatever castle they were in.

Or they named someone else the governor of a certain area and then left subduing whatever was going on there to them, often just naming the other party the governer if their first candidate sucked (which wasn’t rare, since it was mostly nepotism).
