Does anyone know why NFS is such a pain? In the past (10 years ago) I just assumed I was doing it wrong and stopped using it, and have not used it since.

How can it be creative if it literally is attempting a faithful reproduction? You are confusing work with creativity. It might not be easy, it might require a lot of effort by specialists, but it is not creative. Therefor should have no cop

C02 in the atmosphere is going to need to increase by 2x-4x before cognition becomes a problem. Meanwhile indoors co2 jumps to these levels within hours of poor ventalation. I minuter the co2 in my office and vent when required.

Imagine paying reporters by how many people they got arrested. Sure would result in some terrible criminals being locked up, but it may well result in innocent people going to prison as well.

They pay their journalists bonuses if they move the market. That gives some pretty perverse incentives to the journalists.

If it was fake who decided that SuperMicro (down almost 50%) should be sacrificed for a trade war? Seems unlikely. If the story is not true, occam's razor would suggest the journalists just got it wrong, maybe by turning a molehill (co
