This comes from review guides, so yeah, they are literally sent by the company with a set of talking points and things to mention.

This has been the case for over a year. The media kills me, Ukraine has been fighting for its very existence and losing for a long, long time.

The conceptual framework is entirely different though. It’s regarded as a treatment for homosexuality at worst, or at best medical treatment of a birth defect.

Iran isn’t a hub for transgender surgery because they have the same idea about what transgender means as the US does, it’s more like they accept the idea that some men were supposed to be born as women and they concede it to be a medical issue that demands treatment.

My words aren’t explaining it the best, but I’m familiar with the mentality and the ideas that prop up that mentality.

I was working in the industry at the time and people absolutely talked about the implications of microtransactions and how it would result in more expensive games and being nickel and dimed.

Like, I distinctly remember conversations with actual human beings from exactly the horse armor DLC and maybe we didn’t think it was going to result in, say the online shooter battle pass formula exactly, but we without ambiguity understood that meaningful in game items, and things like levels / experience would be monetized.

The biggest shocks to me were how patches would be used to reduce the game testing cycles, enabling companies to print incomplete or broken versions of games, requiring day one patches.

It’s a disgusting practice now, and it was then too.

I mean, yes, but there is a finite amount, we just don’t have the ability to accurately gauge how finite. We also created new techniques for extraction and technology changed to enable those new techniques.

The information was good at the time, but it won’t get better at the same rate, we’re closer to the truth now than we were before because of advancement.

Anyway, my point is the new estimate is much closer to true than the one your comparing it to.

I’m sure it’s strongly worded, almost a condemnation if you will

It’s the only way to demonstrate the fall, of you did it at scale it would’ve even be noticeable.

Such weird reasoning - people ask because they don’t know outside of their own limited perspective and what they can infer from their idea of the values of their peers.

You should absolutely ask, no shame.

This is a long way away from the sunshine policy years yeah, this is real bad

Demoncrats worship the same demons the Republicans do, Capitali$m with a capital $.

Did this actually help?

Sorry, I meant the OUI ( was going by memory ) . It’s the part that you can look up that tells your what kind of device the MAC address belongs to.

Get the MAC address from the ARP table, and look up the OIN, should help you determine if it’s virtual or physical, and if physical the type of NIC it’s using.

Cruel yes, unusual not by definition. It’s precedented and quite usual.

I did the same thing with the ancient seed in Stardew Valley

I always hated the ribbon context menu system. It ruins the way I learn watch involves where something is just as much as what it’s called, kinda like remember where on a physical page something is even if you don’t remember the page.

Static, nested menus are superior.

I think it sounds worse.

These tests get more and more elaborate

What a pompous position to take. I sure hope you don’t make important decisions anywhere.

I’m peddling something that may very well be true, and things like this happen all across the world, all the time. I’m not trying to be a jerk, but I’m kinda trying to say that you appear naive in my eyes.

For governments, and organizations ends are often considered justified by means and that’s not even a crazy position to take.

Conspiracies literally happen, and honestly a lot of change in the world, or research, or political coups would be fundamentally impossible without them. You, like me, don’t have all the information needed to even know quite frankly.

That’s how the world actually works.
