Cons: capitalism is already ruining it with monoculture strains and subsequent crop loss from one little thing wiping out everything. Industry trade groups are forming to be the next generation of lobbyists. For now, they’re on our side by focusing on legalization, but they won’t be on our side forever.
Not so much mixed metaphors as throwing the ingredients in a bowl and calling it a cake.
Because they make all the cheap ethernet chips that go on motherboards.
Other than that, can’t think of a good reason.
Lucille Bluth says she’s friends with her Hispanic servant, “even though she’s an illegal”.
Going a bit meta: has the right wing poisoned this well, too? The way they Capitalize Random Words is bad, but title case in OP is valid.
Someone needed to advocate for the freedom of the military to do whatever it wanted.
Actually, no, nobody needed to do that.
That’s where the “help others buy guns” and “help others train” comes in. The approach to this on the right vs the left is very different.
New way to avoid becoming the Nazi Bar. Ask them for ID before they can use the bathroom.
I’ve heard from writeups from former employees that the internal culture is a perfect reflection of Reddit as a whole. Which says a lot.
If we could get someone Trump listens to saying that the United States is falling behind Norway in dilithium mining, and state it confidently, he would 100% be demanding Norway’s dilithium operations the next day.
We should find a way to do this.
Have you considered eating enough raw bushmeat that you get a brain worm?
I repartitioned the hard drive to install Linux.
Unbeknownst to me, my brother had stored the photos he took of our grandparents 50th wedding anniversary on that drive. There was no backup.
They’ve been doing a surprisingly good job. Like “Quibbling Over Exact Definition Of Concentration Camp Sign Of Healthy Society”. We can debate if the prison in El Salvador counts as a concentration camp (IMO it very clearly is) or a death camp (IMO it is not, but we’re probably headed there), but the fact that we’re even having that debate is a very bad sign. It cuts through the “well, technically” of it all and shows what’s really important.
Not sure if you’re serious. Splitting the loaves and fishes was an adult Jesus story. There’s not a lot about Jesus’ childhood in the canonical gospels, and the non canonical ones are a bit wild.
One of the founders is a hardcore Trump guy, but he’s not part of the company anymore. The company itself splits its donations between Democrats and Republicans. (That’s one of the tricks of a two party system. You can split your donation in half and win either way.)
They’re not overly Christian the way Jimmy Johns or Chick-fil-A are.
There’s no reason the market has to do that. We’ve all collectively decided that every generation should have MORE, but the best games I’ve played in recent years are done by small teams looking to provide a good experience in a somewhat limited package.
Also, people tend not to account for manufacturing drops. Cost to produce dropped dramatically when things moved from cartridges to optical formats. Dropped somewhat in the move to digital distribution, though not as much as you might think.
Removing significant printed instruction manuals helped, too. Printing has gotten really expensive over the last 30 years. Falcon 4.0 came with a spiral bound book written by an actual F-16 pilot, and it was basically an F-16 flight manual. Nobody expects that to ever happen again. Not with a base game, anyway. That game was about $53 at launch (going by the “Chips and Bits” ad toward the back of this old CGW magazine).
There’s a good $20-30 in reduced production costs that were never directly passed on to customers.
Non-profit scams. You can set one up, put out a call for donations claiming you do some blah blah blah work, and give yourself most of the money in the form of a salary/bonus. Only a small percentage of the money ever needs to go to anyone in need.
This happens in all sorts of corporate and religious charities. The NFL was technically non-profit for many years, and that should say it all.
A third are in on the grift. Another third are afraid of Trump ruining them politically. Another third are afraid of the violence from his supporters.
All of these reasons are self serving, and can change if the incentives get swiped away.
We don’t, but there’s problems with only relying on electronic information that can be swapped out at any time. Don’t have to burn the information when you can make it say whatever you want.
