To me the theater is now a place for collective enjoyment. The home viewing experience is good enough if I want to watch something in silence, not that I have even a modest set up. The theater is now about having that energy and cheering because it’s all that’s really left.

The crowd and reactions are one of the biggest parts of the theater experience that’s actually positive.

Most professors don’t have the time or desire to actually make a good test so the curve is a way to compensate for the poor test. There is more pressure in the current day to also pass more than may deserve it as well.

The public domain allows free use of anything in it. It allows people to innovate and expand upon established knowledge without having to pay tribute to original creators or their estates.

Intellectual property was created as a compromise to get people to be more open with their works. It allowed artists and writers to create things without risking their creations copied and losing their livelihood. Similarly inventors were also encouraged to publish how they invented because it granted them a period of exclusive access to controlling that method. In the long term the public benefits by getting access to everything.

Is she getting worse or are more people aware she’s always been bad?

It still costs more if you have significant scraps as that product is essentially processed twice. Even a half cent of extra cost per thousand bars gets significant.

Wild boars are an invasive species, they don’t have natural predators.

It’s really not, boars can breed multiple times per year, have litters between 2 and 12, and can breed as early as 6 months old.

It takes lots of effort to keep a population stable, actually eliminating them is very difficult.

As per policy it will be “destroyed” by a company owned by a family member of the chief. In unrelated news, that company also found a rare WWII rifle to sell.

This is a good summary, but I think it misses another big point. The country is super racist. They don’t allow enough immigration to offset demographic issues. They also don’t get any other benefits of immigration like cultural changes that could actually help companies be more adaptable, or maybe trying something different than the exact same thing for 100 years is a good idea.

I remember people talking about stories where someone got a great job because they happened to be a big guild leader and someone at the company was in the guild. It makes sense to me, just running a 10 man Kara with people that already knew what to do was exhausting.

Diablo, dragon age, dynasty warriors/Hyrule warriors, monster hunter, the older lord of the rings games, vermintide 2.

Grand strategy games aren’t for me, but I love reading the insane stories from CKII and Dwarf Fortress.

4 was already incoherent and awkward. A 5th feels like an intervention is in order for anyone wanting it.

Discovery sucks in the fediverse, so it causes a lot of fractured and spammed content until hopefully everyone migrates to a stable community. Otherwise everyone eventually leaves as there appears to be no interest in a topic due to the fragmentation.

Many pre WWII guns that were broken or unwanted were scrapped in metal drives to support the war effort.

In modern times there are several ways they can get used.

• some will get cannibalized for parts by gunsmiths
• some get used for artwork.
• many are scrapped after gun buyback programs
• some are lost in trash or bodies of water both on purpose or accidentally

An article that could have discussed some actual problems with steam, but instead focused on non-issues like epic having a garbage store.

Much better performance is a bit of an exaggeration. Switch games are running at similar fps and resolutions to 360 games.

It’s still a reasonable rule, with a few outliers. For the switch specifically, you could make a reasonable argument it was retro on launch, with cartridges and massively underpowered hardware.

I think using emulation as the benchmark for what makes a console retro can be a useful rule of thumb. By that metric I don’t think the 360 is retro yet as emulation isn’t quite mainstream or functional for the majority of titles. It’s probably getting close though.
