Well, the affordable care act pretty much cemented the moneymaker monopoly over the healthcare system. Great, ain't it?

So, uh, who pays for social security and medicare/medicaid?

Single points of failure lead to inherently unstable systems.

you... haven't actually seen what an average employee does to a computer have you? Yes there are ones that treat their hardware nice, but yeah, no. Also it's not the useability it's the manufacturing warranty that goes with i

Ah, you have never been on the IT side of any shop have you? The risks to keep running said hardware, or performance, or storage space, or power consumption or whatever are too high so you aren't going to be using it. So you decom it a

Don't give? Excuse me? Most bigtech firms already have access to that data.

The original will be memoryholed. This is a nice spit in the face of everybody who worked on that movie.

A member of the rust committe (Uber for C) well known for their histryonics makes a hystrionic blogpost about another rust community member acting hystrionic. The comments divide into two camps among US political lines and spend the rest of

Well also Tarkovsky died from cancer not a whole lot of time after.

Seems like a Wayland problem to me. Under X, AMD drivers have been nothing but rock solid for years.

Ageism does not suit you well.

Yes, please show me some.

Funny, because people who enjoy living in the middle of nowhere constantly put out articles about how cities are ruining the environment (hilariously, they are).

Same engine, slight retune, not six years-worth-of-dev-new. Much more of an iterative upgrade. Compare, for instance, Ocarina of Time (1998) and, Windwaker (2003), vs Ocarina (1998) and Majora's Mask (2000), and you'll see that BO

Dismissing the feelings as paranoia is a technique to normalize whatever the thing is that people are upset about.

There are loading screens. It's basically same as BOTW.

by slackfan 3y ago
Not even close. It's a BOTW expansion pack writ large, there's little performance or graphical difference between TOTK and BOTW, a game that released six years ago.
291.
by slackfan 3y ago
Same way they pulled it off for the original game - BOTW, considering it's the exact same engine with little to no graphical changes.

the pricing is based on what the suckers will pay. I've seen similar 10-15x cost reductions on significant procedures with hospital stays like childbirth.

I actually worked for a firm the staff of which was 99% near-shore contractors. Had some great folks there that I had the pleasure to work with. Can't really say as much great things about the US-based C-level structure, but that'

Sure, but that is not their primary focus, or historic mission. But what are you going to so with an organization founded by an out and out eugenicist.

Because that's what they provide, and that's what they deal in, exclusively. Maternity care centers generally deal with other aspects of pregnancy, though some may also provide abortion services.

Not particularly. Not to get too morbid but, the weapon of choice may be suspect but not unrealistic; there have been plenty of attacks on nursing homes and kindergardens in Japan. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sag

Steam and F2P basically killed piracy for games (and streaming services nuked it for movies) in Russia, for instance, somewhere where I'd estimate 80-98% of everything was pirated. With the current situation there's been a revival
