That was one hell of a leap in (il)logical thinking…

Apple’s Tim Cook donated $1 million personally to Trump. Not Apple Inc, Tim Cook. And now he’s donating this as well. These are not the same.

They already get that from the PRISM act.

Like many others have mentioned, video game soundtracks when studying. [https://www.gameslearningsociety.org/what-is-the-science-of-video-game-music/](Video game music has also been shown to help with studying.)

Can video game music help you study? And according to a plethora of research, having such music to accompany a task–especially if it’s repetitive—can drive up dopamine levels in the brain, allowing you to engage in work or study more productively and with less stress. It can also drive inspiration and add a touch of whimsy to otherwise boring tasks.

And we’ve only just reached the 8th month of this 4 year term.

They already have. https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/16340779?hl=en#zippy=%2Chow-do-i-claim-my-support-option

Almost no site here in the EU has a Reject All option. Even the office EU website doesn’t have a Reject All option in the EU. https://european-union.europa.eu/index_en

Click on “Purpose” and there you can turn them all off. And there is the Save and Exit button there too.

You should travel, see the world, open your mind. You’d find that traveling the EU is just like traveling the US, no borders, no checks, even my cell plan moves, all the same. It’s even called the European “Union”, you know, like how the States are a Union (pst, it’s in the name, the UNITED states). So yeah, it would be the correct comparison.

If you go to a different state within a European country, it won’t have a different plug either.

You mean like in Italy, that is even shown in the picture to the comment your replying to?

They are correct though. In the US, it doesn’t matter where you go, every state uses the same plug.

In Europe, different countries use different plugs, even though they are all in Europe.

Ireland plug:

France plug:

Switzerland plug:

Italian plugs:

So, what your saying here is that the A in AI actually stands for artificial, and it’s not really intelligent and reasoning.

Huh.

They don’t work very well unfortunately. They use a MD5 checksum to verify your game, which in the surface sounds great, until you realize that a lot of the newer setups (EmuDeck) for roms will offer to compress them into .7zip files (and other types) and then suddenly none of the games are recognized as the original MD5 checksum is different. So you cant compress any game, and not sure if they work with .m3u lists and doubt it will because most likely it’ll want to .MD5 checksum the .m3u file.

Also, it needs to have an Internet connection the entire time, so this kills more portable device usage unless you are at home/4-5G. They claim it’s to prevent people from cheating the achievement, but in the end if just becomes another block in usability.

Yeah, it was a warning against Apple and that was the nod to it.

After Eternal, I’m not interested in this one. 2016 was fantastic, but Eternal felt all over the place. It tried to tell a story but skipped the entire second “book” between the two games, making it feel unfinished trilogy.

Then there’s the difficulty, easy was too easy, and normal was too hard. I shouldn’t have to choose between surviving 10+ hits (easy) or dying in 3-4 (normal). That’s not balance. And I don’t have the time to ‘git gud’ when the difficulty jump is this extreme.

Considering they already had to tweak difficulty in The Dark Ages, it looks like they’re still struggling to get the scaling right

Next you’ll tell me that cat’s aren’t white meat either…

Front Burner just did a podcast about all of this and how is similar with Nazi Germany. Mostly helps that this isn’t an American news outlet (it’s Canadian, part of CBC) about how they honestly spoke about it (Trump can’t threaten to take away their broadcasting license)

Today on the show is historian Timothy Ryback. Timothy is an author and writer with The Atlantic. He’s the director of the Institute for Historical Justice and Reconciliation in The Hague. Last year he published ‘Takeover’ which documents the ways Hitler and his enablers in the German establishment cleared the pathway to Nazism through constitutional means. He’s on the show to discuss - what he refers to as the “disturbing echoes” between Nazi Germany and contemporary America. Particularly between Adolf Hitler and US President Donald Trump.

Did they declare that the chemical doing that was fluoride? Because more and more states are banning that in the water.

Just checked and you are right. I’m so used to hearing “Pork, the other white meat” that I mis-understood.
