Civ 5 works great on my MacBook ProMax M1- though it burns through battery pretty fast unplugged…

Yep, have had cats and dogs that would wait at the door at specific times of day for my returning spouse.

I had that printed out as a poster, keep it on a wall in my office. It’s a great inspiration and looks great at the same time.

My dogs that have escaped the yard go walkabout for a bit and then make their way home. My daughter's covid puppy has zero desire to be away from his human family- he's constantly looking for a human family member to hang out with

If we don't what's the point of debating it?

Unless you’re going for some meta-joke, no.

Yep, you don't 'save' democracy by trampling on its traditions.

They’ve been actively burying true news that doesn’t fit their narrative- that isn’t even reporting, it’s advancing an agenda.

I’m a never-Trumper, came up as a voter in the Reagan era, omnivorous consumer of all news content, listened to NPR prior to the pandemic near daily, and still regularly afterwards, until the bias just completely turned me off. Your take se

I think the main problem was that the chunkier graphics necessitated by the lower resolution always made the IIgs graphics look like a primitive copy, so everyone assumed the rest of the stack underlying it was similarly primitive.

I had this as a kid, hooked up along side the voice synthesizer. I never had a reason to actually buy an expansion card, but having the disk drive was nice, and I was the only kid I knew with a disk drive vs tape- the local library even had

Yep, visited Townsville and it was even more hot/humid, I imagine places like Cairns take it up even further but don’t have quite as much hot desert air sweeping in as Brisbane since its more of a peninsula.

Is there a heuristic for how much of the value of a share is assigned to asset value vs forward looking earnings? Many of the ‘hot’ stocks like Nvidia seem almost all forward looking.

But EPS rises so equilibrium would suggest the price of the share would almost certainly rise to match the old EPS.

Spent some time in Oz in the 90s- trying to sleep at night in my 2nd floor apartment as the heat rolling off the desert met the Brisbane coast without air conditioning remains some of my most unpleasant memories to this day. Despite a fan p

It was targeted at Universities, as a foothold customer, since it ended up too expensive for even prosumers. It ended up mostly finding uptake in custom apps in the Fortune 500 (and kept it toe-hold in universities) while it lasted as a har

That may be true now , but it doesn't debunk the point that the hardware that is now so desirable exists solely because of their vertical integration.

As can be seen by the specializations between human brain hemispheres. There is a bus between them, but when that communication is cut, and you can see that a lot of what we perceive as a single thought process, is a bunch of independent co

Hardware that wouldn't exist without the high margins generated by their vertical integration.

Epic losing their suit pretty much torpedoed that plank. The findings there would basically tread the same ground and were already found in Apple's favor as a matter of law.

To be fair, on this particular point, you aren't Apple's customer in this scenario. This is like complaining that Tesla has supercharger stations and your non-Tesla has a different charging connector, so your interactions with Sup

The problem with that perspective is that there isn't a 'career ladder' here. You don't volunteer for any position within the LDS church, you are 'called,' so if you happen to be pulled into the higher echelons

It's going to take a long time to match the inbound bandwidth of the optic nerves. Lots of specialized cells involved. [0] I supposed we could just jack in directly, though I really don't want surgery latching onto my optic nerve.

As one of eleven, I think it's a couple things. One is Utah was a rural state until fairly recently, so big families and farming kind of go together. Another is a bit more 'soft' doctrinal. The general teaching in the 60s&#x2

Since matter is basically precipitated energy from the near infinite energies released by the Big Bang, makes sense to me that it has fairly high amounts of energy compacted. If nothing else, nuclear bombs made this blindingly obvious.
