They covered the Epstein files and nobody had any consequences.

No.

No, it’s better to have awareness of both. What needs to be done, how long it takes, and what dependencies exist. I feel like taking a nap, but I have work and house chores. So I’ll take care of some small things that aren’t too taxing while I drink coffee and regain some energy.

If I press the brake, it should brake. ABS systems work well, but otherwise there should not be any logic built into not braking when I want to brake. Add all the automation into braking for me if there is an imminent collision detected. Extra braking is good. Less braking than I have asked for is bad.

Oh I get it completely, and I was banging my head against the wall looking for something that worked. Ultimately, some clean cable management and a few of those rubber cord grips were so much more functional than anything else I tried.

Also remember that you’ll need to automate those branching switches, and each one can add a bit of lag if they are digital.

As someone who briefly lived a similar dream, I wish someone had pointed out to me that you’re still going to have to get your old bones up to get the wired controllers for those older consoles. I’d just keep the old school composite switch accessible so you can plug in whatever you want to play while you’re grabbing the controllers and plugging in the cartridge. Then you just need an HDMI switcher, which could also be your surroud sound system (if you’re spending money anyway…)

I wonder what sort of lag that would add. Digital converters always seem to make Mario jump slower.

How else do you think they stay on?

Among Greeks, if you say Alexandros (or Philip for that matter) then people will know who you are talking about. But basically, those names are still in use. Caesar became the word for leaders rather than a name, and it’s relatively rare as a first name.

Charlemagne is actually Charles le magne which means Charles the Great. If you called him “King Charles” you’d need to be much more specific.

I can’t speak for Attila, because I don’t know if the name is popular in any particular cultures. Certainly in the USA, the Hun king is the most famous Attila.

Slim Shady is an interesting example, because its’s basically branding for Marshall Mathers aka Eminem. One of his first widespread hits was a song essentially saying that he’s the only real Slim Shady, and anyone else using that nickname is a copycat poser.

Anything that wasn’t vaporized was likely launched out into space at speeds exceeding escape velocity for Earth’s gravitational field by aat least a factor of 6. So if there was anything left after the explosion and wind friction, it’s out in space, probably moving towards the sun.

The best part of that story is that the engineer on the project initially rejected the metal cap, because he knew it would not do anything to contain the blast. His supervisor overruled him, and insisted they install the cap. The engineer complied, but also ensured a high speed camera was trained on the cap to capture just how spectacularly stupid his manager was.

If ads weren’t obtrusive and deceptive, I wouldn’t feel the need to block them.

Surprising nobody.

Like Nazis don’t have money to spend?

Probably C) they don’t give a shit because profit.

It’s sort of like a cancer patient having a tumor removed. There’s still a long road ahead to recovery, and plenty of opportunities for new tumors to replace it.

So I’m going to breathe a sigh of relief, take a few moments to enjoy the reduced weight of the world, and then prepare for the next steps.

I hope they do an American version that takes place in the same universe but with games more common in America, and an entirely new story. I don’t want a rehash of the same show in English. I saw Squid Games already. Maybe it could be “Squid Games International” because it was so popular among the oligarchy, they brought it to North America.

Yeah, the memes were funny, and he made some fun action movies, but the real man was not worthy of veneration. Dying doesn’t change his legacy, it cements it. There’s no more time for him to become a better person than he was.

Have you tried not being corrupt oligarchs?

That was fast.

Ok, but if you learned later that the guy was trafficking and raping women and children, and was selling them to other rich people for sex, that might color your perspective a bit? And if you looked back on that moment and said “I saw nothing strange or suspicious” I would think you were a liar.
