Do you play many indie games? I feel like they’ve taken most of these formulas and really expanded on them, way more than Nintendo will do.

Maybe. That’s certainly their intent. I could also see it working the other way though. No more patent trolls or companies hoarding good ideas.

I hate agreeing with these assholes, but I do in this case. IP/patent law is explicitly designed to stifle competition. At most, it should last a few years (if you agree with the “recoup the cost of innovation” argument). Innovation will be done for the sake of innovation if there’s competition though. If your opposition innovates and you don’t, you’re going to be destroyed. The exception is when they agree to not compete, which is already illegal though not enforced as strongly as it should be.

Sure, maybe, but he’s old and frail already. They’re going to try to shift it to The Party or something if they can. They aren’t going to sit back and lose everything they’ve got when he dies, which won’t be far off even if no one tries to kill him.

I think that’s exactly why it’s going to be Trump. His cult has too much power, which they want direct control over, and also he’s old and will have served his purpose. If they can get his cult to ditch him for something more stable and under their control (The State or The Party probably), then that’s what they’ll want.

Keep in mind that not all bees are native everywhere. Most notably, the European Honeybee is the most commonly farmed but not native to the Americas. It may be native to the Nordics though.

OK, but you didn’t say that. You said worth the $/h, which is a common metric people use but is less than worthless.

$/h is useful because it isa universally transferable measure. Enjoyment is not, but is actually what we care about.

I’m just trying to work to remove $/h as something people discuss, because it’s ruined so many games.

$/h is a shitty metric. Some hours are more enjoyable than others, and also time is a resource we spend, just like money, not something we’re gaining, so it taking time is a negative. Enjoyment/$ is the metric to use, or maybe (enjoyment/h)/$.

$/h is a marketing term. It isn’t a term consumers should bother with. It’s what has lead to boring over-inflated games that waste your time doing things that don’t matter and aren’t fun.

Why not ask them for something else, unless they really want you to have that device in particular for some reason.

That’s not good. It’s my understanding that the blades are typically meant to stay attached.

Garuda is great because it comes with a tool where you can select a bunch of packages you may need (but also most won’t, so it’s not built in), then it’ll install them for you. You don’t need to search for what you’ll need because they’re listed with a description for you right on the first boot. It makes it very quick and easy to get set up, while still being Arch underneath.

I’m using Garuda and it has a setup specifically for gaming. The gamer look it comes with out of the box is ugly in my opinion, but that’s easy to change.I highly recommend it. It’s Arch based, so the AUR and Arch wiki work great with it. It’s really great and (in my opinion) user friendly.

It’ll let you upgrade to Linux. It doesn’t play those stupid games with you like MS does.

As I said, some is necessary. However, a lot is just to make it not viable to protect dirty energy. Nuclear fission is one of the safest sources of energy, including the disasters and clean energy. It’s incredibly safe, and has only gotten safer. The chance of a meltdown are damn near zero now, and even if one happens there’s little chance for significant issues.

Meanwhile coal is spewing out radioactive waste constantly and has very little restrictions.

It’s not expensive because they are actually particularly hard to make though. They’re expensive because we made them expensive. There’s so many requirements and restrictions on them that aren’t on other power sources. Some of that’s good, but a lot is designed by dirty energy to keep them in business. They drive up the cost of nuclear and then get to say they’re cheaper.

Sadly for you the statistic show increasing punishment does not actually work to prevent them from committing these crimes. It can work for some crimes, but not this kind, and also only up to a certain point.

Sadly this needs to be spelt out to you, but if we’re spending resources on something we should make an attempt to use it as efficiently as possible. We have studies that show the efficacy of different types and degrees of punishment, as well as rehabilitation methods. Rehabilitation can get some people (not all) to become contributing members of society, where they’ll actually be a benefit instead of a cost.

Their point was money is being spent. Is it not best spent on actually stopping this from happening?

We know that this isn’t actually about that and prison is not either. That’s not the point. The point is people are fighting for the wrong things if they actually want to help.

Only after they do it. It doesn’t prevent anything.

Honestly, I won’t bother. I only tried a few Switch games on emulator out of curiosity, and never played long. They don’t make anything interesting enough for me to want. I don’t get why people feel the need for Nintendo.

For now, they’re better than Google. I have some bad opinions about them, but anything better than Google competing with Google is an improvement.
