It’s one banana, Michael. What could it cost, $10?

And that magnets don’t work after they get wet.

But why pay all those programmers when all they had to do from the beginning was a simple

#include “ai.h”

Reminds me of one class I had in high school right after lunch. The teacher was occasionally late getting back to class from the bar.

That was a very long way to say electric boats are bad because they’re preferable to sharks.

Don’t worry, though. It’s not in development hell, it’s going to be a AAAAA game, and that takes time.

Falsification of business records is apparently a “trivial matter” to a certain kind of person with government contracts.

A 2022 survey finds 7.1% of Americans identify as LGBT:

Also in 2022, Texas had 9.0% of the population of the USA.

There is no constitutional reason it can’t be amended, but there is a statutory reason Biden can’t act unilaterally on that: the Judiciary Act of 1869 limits the SCOTUS to nine members.

Congress would have to let him.

And don’t even frame it as a nameless hypothetical. Get specific.

“Are you arguing that Joe Biden could order the assassination of Clarence Thomas and Donald Trump, and if the Democratic Senate doesn’t convict on impeachment, he gets away with it?”

“Two popular games with little else in common can be shoehorned into my pet narrative” is a bad title, though.

99% of gamers knew this years ago.

It’s always been a race to gobble up the handful of whales that keep the mobile game industry alive. Now add hundreds more desktop and console games to that list. Sure, there are lots of people that will happily spend thousands of dollars on any shitty game, but once you’ve got the entire industry spending billions fighting over those players, the well runs dry eventually.

Every accusation is an admission, example #3,237,621.

It would arguably take less effort to write a more general ban on apps and companies sharing, selling, and aggregating data on users than one specifically carving out foreign-owned companies.

Not doing that makes it clear this isn’t a “first step.” This is a blanket approval of the practice, but with “election year, China bad” thrown in.

Yes, any government access to user data can, and will, be mis-used, including Tik Tok. Opposing this bill isn’t an approval of Bytedance, it’s an opposition to the process.

Sketchy Chinese data brokers: 👎
Sketchy US data brokers:👍

They’d do it in 60 hours if there were oil in Gaza.

Samsung did have a major problem early last year, but it seems to be limited to a run of products with a specific firmware.
