i don’t think it’s a spoiler to say this because you learn very early in the game - physically everything in the worlds goes back to square one after 22 minutes (or if you die).
you do get to keep a log of everything you learn about the worlds and story but that’s all that persists. the log is actually helpful, so follow that if you get lost.
slight spoiler:
also the 22 minute reset is not an arbitrary design choice, it’s part of the story and puzzle.
they may have bunkers as a contingency but i doubt they think that existence is inevitable.
can i send an AI bot to all my Teams meetings? THAT would actually increase my productivity.
did we read the same article? the author was overtly critical of trump and never mentioned democrats. what specifically makes you think the author doesn’t have good intentions? quite a leap.
because the republican party has split the lower and middle classes with fear mongering and emotionally charged cultural wedge issues. e.g. abortion, gun control, “war on christianity”, immigration, vaccine “freedom”, etc etc.
chanted by the same people flying “Don’t tread on me” flags. what a joke.
most areas have ISP monolopies, which is somewhat understandable given the high infrastructure costs etc. For that reason they should be regulated as utilities, but aren’t because high speed internet isn’t legally “essential” in the year of our lord 2025.
I don’t think psudonyms are an issue, but verifying that a user is an actual person vs an AI chatbot is absolutely something that every popular social media platform will need to tackle at some point.
it’s only meant for temporary situations, 10 total days per year. I guess the idea is you’d use loaner PCs to access this while getting repairs done or before you’ve gotten a new PC. but yeah i kinda doubt there’s a huge market for this kind of service.
Mac is only a safe platform due to obscurity.
they have also shown willingness to dismantle federal agencies for whatever agenda they want to accomplish.
There’s also the issue of volume, more betting volume could mean more opportunity for corruption. I don’t have numbers but i’m guessing there is a lot more betting now that it’s legal, with ads and sponsorships constantly in your face, and easily accessible with phone apps and sportsbooks. But i have not seen any officially expressed concern about that aspect from any league representatives, only spin that it’s better legalized and regulated.
The overall point is that sports leagues definitely do want sports betting. more engagement, ad sales, endorsements, and they can even get in on the action directly by ownership or investments.
Sports teams don’t want it because it incentivizes cheating / rigging games.
this isn’t true generally speaking. The reasoning they give is that gambling has always been there to incentivize cheating/rigging, but at least now it’s out in the open and easier to track. This is a quote from the commissioner of the NBA after an incident last year:
“I mean, this is not new that there’s unsavory behavior, even illegal behavior, around sports betting,” Silver said. “I guess my point is that to the extent it’s going to exist, if you have a regulated environment, you’re going to have a better chance of detecting it than you would if all the bets were placed illegally.”
Sports leagues are tripping over themselves expanding into Las Vegas. Some team owners have their own sportsbooks right in the stadium, for example ted leonsis in DC. The owners of the Dallas Mavericks own the Sands casinos and have been spending millions lobbying to legalize gambling in Texas. (edit: I see their efforts recently failed, but the point is they clearly want gambling.)
Some individual players have spoken out against sports betting and if they were the majority they could take it up as an issue in collective bargaining. NBA players did in the last CBA, except they went in the opposite direction; they negotiated for the ability to endorse and invest in gambling companies themselves. So clearly the majority of players are happy to take bigger contracts, endorsements, etc despite the nuisance it causes them.
and to be clear I agree it’s awful, i am just explaining how i observed them deal with the issue over the last 7 years or whatever. I actually recently stopped watching sports, and sports betting was a contributing factor to that decision.
he’s arguably the biggest Japanese film actor of all time. It would have been a big deal to japanese people.
I agree with this youtube comment:
As an electrician (in Australia), I agree with your basic premise. However, if you are asking me to install an EV charger, unless you tell me “I want it to charge slowly with a limited current capacity”, I am going to assume it is to charge an EV under ALL situations - fast to slow, for whoever may drive one today or in the future, even with a potential new homeowner. We generally do our work with the priority order (1) safety - nobody gets an electric shock and nothing catches fire; (2) avoidance of nuisance i.e. the thing you just installed doesn’t work and keeps tripping the breaker 😑 (3) avoiding needing replacement electrical work for at least 25 - 50 years
Also I live in a townhouse with no garage. Our charger is between the neighborhood sidewalk and our parking spaces, so I’d prefer keeping it plugged in as little as possible to minimize any issues with foot traffic (neighbors, delivery people, garbage pickup, etc). I’ve seen other townhouse EV owners literally run an extension cable over the sidewalk to do an L1 charge for their EV and that’s just asking for trouble.
No mention of who it is even being sold to, so bizarre.
jfc we are going to be stuck with “this looks slightly weird. is it AI?” articles til the end of time.

oh it’s that easy huh. why didn’t we think of this before lol.
same. the trick is to float by doing literally nothing as slow as possible. it takes some trial and error to figure out when you can maneuver again but you do have to be a little patient.
