It’s a problem of scale. If a platform takes off, the site slows or goes down. They need to invest more on hosting, which drives up the prices. Then people leave because it’s not reliable, and the company is left with a huge bill.
Maybe it’d be better to have multiple video sites with their own niche categories, instead of a one stop shop. That might be easier to maintain.
Man, this was so cool back in the day. Everyone wanted one, but it could’ve cost a million dollars for all I could afford. My best friend had it at his house but he didn’t ever want to play ninja turtles, and then he switched schools. This is the unobtainium of my childhood. I’m sure I could get one now, but those days of wanting to play ninja turtles are long gone.
It’s pretty cool to look at on the Internet, though!
I’m right there with you. I get the feeling that the richest people in power are counting on the coming apocalypse to solve it. What slows greenhouse gases, plastic usage, oil refining, overfishing, etc? Less people. We’ll have oil wars, water wars, and kill/die off. Until then, make as much money as possible to wall yourself off in a bunker and survive. It’s easier to continue to exploit the economy than to fix it, make less, and have less people die. If we’re all dead, everything is solved for them and they’ve maximized profit that they can then use to boost survival and stay on top.
I don’t see an incentive for them to do otherwise.
You might need to account for an extra day or two to dig down low enough in the rocky mountains. Unless you’re working with a friend and they brought their own shovel.
That, and also that’s not how the English language works.
And point out the obvious flaw and omissions in the poster like Oscar.
And you call them steamed dilithium despite the fact that they’re obviously crystalized.
And when he finally does die, we’ll get an AI chat model of him to continue rambling on Twitter.
Very optimistic to believe he’d live that long in the first place. He’d be lucky to live through the next one, even. He’s pretty old.
Nevermind being actually elected, or staying out of prison.
This parasitic infection isn’t actually any more debilitating than vaccines
Lol wat.
I imagine part of it is so Russia doesn’t know exactly what Ukraine’s military arsenal is.
“Oh the US just gave 10 tanks to Ukraine? Let’s be on the lookout with our tank busters for 10, and after that we won’t worry about tanks during our assaults.”
It died in my area when they dropped the amount of spawn nodes to the point where you couldn’t really walk around. You had to drive pretty far at that point, and that kill let most people’s enthusiasm.
I don’t know if it was complaints by local businesses or what, but after that I never saw large groups walking around again.
I don’t trust anything that wormy little turtle scrotum says.
Unless it’s death. I’d believe him if he dies.
Alas, I don’t live in Kentucky and can’t do anything about him continuing to be a political figure.
Can you give us a hint? I’m having some trouble.
BFG Division from DOOM 2016 or Darude - Sandstorm for the parallels of Run Lola, Run.
But in reality, silence. I’d need to form a plan and amping up on adrenaline wouldn’t help with that.
Try using a non-alcohol-based lotion. If you can’t find one, I’ve had good success with Eucerin. I put lotion on my face and scalp right after my shower, and don’t have any itchiness or flakes.
I couldn’t find a shampoo that fixed anything for me.
If you have it on your elbows or knees (very common), you can try Aquaphor at night. That is pretty sticky, but keeps your skin calm and moist.
A dermatologist can give you some prescription lotion/cream, as well. That also works, but it’s typically a small tube and expensive.
Direct x is definitely a problem, and it doesn’t help that Final Fantasy 14 is a poorly coded game, as I’ve never had problems prior to that. And I’m running Windows 10. I used to run Linux years ago, but couldn’t use Netflix on it. Now that they’re crap and jellyfin is a better choice overall, I might have to try switching back. I’d greatly prefer to use all AMD, but we’ll see. I think the upcoming W11 upgrade-or-die ultimatum in October 2025 will force lazy people like myself to spend the time to switch or rebuy. My work environment that I support is Windows/Cisco/Fortinet, so it’s easier to come home and do the same rather than learn how to install/configure/support Linux versions of the same thing. But who knows what the next year will bring.
I felt the same way until I had a ROG strix RX-2700xt. I started getting fatal directx errors playing FFXIV all the time. It was an allocation problem and there was no driver version I could try that fixed it. I started trying to learn to custom-patch a driver, gave up, and bought an Nvidia card which I hated to do. Fixed the problem. Turns out the drivers for that specific card suck in general.
I still prefer AMD, but I’m wary of card manufacturers. Their drivers can be awful. In this case though, the default drivers didn’t work either. And you generally won’t know the word on the street until well after the cards aren’t higher end.
Anecdotal for sure, but it took a year of fighting on and off to fix and I don’t want that when I’m trying to relax.
Yes, but I’m in the unique position of my religion being right! So I should get a boost! And idk, something bad for the non-believers. Maybe death? Just spitballing here.
In Blade Runner 2049, Weta Workshop had their laser pistols set up with a solenoid that moved back and forth with a trigger pull. Adam Savage looked at them in a Tested video. I don’t know if it’s cost prohibitive, but it sure seemed like the right way to do it.
However, you don’t get smoke with that. You can definitely rig something up as they did it with a knock off nerf blaster in the 80’s or even a cap gun, but at some point I assume the level of complexity makes modifying a real gun cheaper.
You could weld shut the barrel of a gun, which is what a lot of them do, but it seems like it’s a cost cutting measure when they used real guns that would retain their value. Alec (as a producer) used a cheap setup with a cheap armorer that didn’t know what they were doing. It’s both of their faults.
