THPS 1+2 (the HD remake) is excellent but they decided not to do a THPS3+4 remake. Presumably due to low numbers. BUT online is broken. What I mean by broken is that you basically can’t log in to the server if your console is connected to the internet through a router. As far as I know Activision never acknowledged that failure. Do you think this problem might have hurt sales/microtransaction revenue?
I’ve never heard anyone with first hand experience complain about living in North Korea. They literally can’t complain.
I’m not convinced that just cash will solve homelessness or poverty. It may help, but it seems like a “give a man a fish, he’ll eat for a day, teach a man to fish and he’ll eat for a lifetime” kinda situation. Give people the fish so they can eat, but if you want them to actually be independent, then you gotta make sure they have the tools they need to do so.
I think the reason you’ve taken so much flak is that money isn’t fish. Money can be converted into tools. Yes, of course you’re right that some people won’t use the money in a way which will end their homelessness, and may benefit from ‘other programs’. But the meme was specifically about people objecting to the idea of giving poor people money so that they can solve their own problems. Rolling out ‘other programs’ is great, but the ‘other programs’ will be much more effective if they’re not clogged with people that can solve their own problems with a bit of cash.
Have they looked at masers? Basically rf lasers.i think they’re much cheaper than lasers and could be steered at drones but would only need enough power to interfere with guidance/ controls
What about a shotgun shell but each pellet is crimped around the midpoint of a bundle of carbon fibers
Don’t write that down. Do you hear me?
We hear you loud and clear.
Yeah true, but I think they actually use wavelength of red shift, which is distance… traveled by light in the time it takes to make a full cycle. So I guess we’re back to seconds again.
I think they use this for distance and time because at scales being dealt with they have the same implications.
I think you need to be more specific than ‘long distance’, yes they use parsecs for ‘long distances’ but I believe only for intra-galactic objects. I think other galaxies are too distant for parallax seconds to be useful.
Don’t they measure distance and time by redshift (ie colour)
“What’S SUP”
Anyone interested in this should check out superfastmatt (YouTube) he has a video series where he converts a Dodge Viper for offroading.
Not bolting a viper body onto a dune buggy frame.
Makes total sense to me. He loved his husband and wanted him to be happy, but wasn’t sexually attracted to him. But not a homophobe, so willing to try to make husband happy.
The senate has become a golden carrot for political parties to reward friendly journalists. This is not healthy for our democracy.
What if we replaced the senate with a longer cycle, partyless FPTP system, and used PR for the lower house?
Just an idea I haven’t thought through yet.
If they know these people are active criminals they will have no problem citing just cause for arrest and search.
I live in Canada, our gun rules are different than the USA. This week in my city some charges against a dangerous criminal were dropped because the police had a “flagrant disregard for charter rights” (according to the judge) (oir charter rights are similar to American civil rights)
They searched him improperly, and found a loaded, illegal gun. Charges dismissed. If they had handled it properly they could have made the charges stick. What a waste of everyone’s time. Police didn’t respect his rights because they don’t respect my rights.
The water in my community has poison added to it by my local government. It’s a poison so heinous its usage is banned in war. It affects the clarity and taste of the water. No matter how many letters I write they are totally unwilling to stop chlorinating the water. It’s outrageous!
Is there a way to set up patreon for any ad free website I browse?
Could my browser have some sort of cryptographically signed cookie that would let ad-free websites deduct 1-5 cents from my browsing account?
Website could check for the cookie before loading the ads?
Has this been tried?
We don’t have 7.
Vacant isn’t a party, so that makes it 6.
“Independent” isn’t a party, each member should count as their own party (so 8 parties total) or none of them should count as a party (5 parties total).
I don’t think tasmania is a valuable comparison considering it is not a country, and has a population smaller than Kitchener Ontario.
But I think your point that MMP reduces party diversity is possibly valid since imo it locks in existing parties.
Thanks. Yeah you’re recommending what I was initially thinking.
You should probably use a simulation tool to check the circuit before you start destroying chips.
Fair!
Great description. I’m thinking I’ll use some of that expensive castable silicone to make a reusable mold for pewter… or outsource the work to a professional.
It’s a hat badge for the marching band I play in.
in bc we have two tier pricing, the first X kilowatthours per month is I think 0.08CAD (~0.05USD), the second is 0.15CAD (~0.11USD)
Our power mostly comes from hydroelectric dams, but we wheel and deal it interprovincially so within the course of a day we’ll spend some time importing and some time exporting which gives us lower rates, and lets other places run more efficiently (ie Fewer gas turbines)
