The issue, as I understand it, is that there are manufacturers that make electric bicycles that are artificially limited to a maximum speed limit but have a part that, if removed, would disable that limiter. The manufacturer will tell you that you should never, ever remove that part, that removing the part voids the warranty, that the manufacturer is not at fault for any injury or legal trouble you could get from riding a bike with no limiter, etc.

If your car windows are totally fogged up, you cannot clearly see what is in front of your car and therefore, your vehicle is not safe to operate.

Hollywood perfected royalties. If structured right, you can promise everyone at the company 200% of the games profit and never pay them a cent.

For example, you sell all rights to the game to a shell company owned by the studio’s parent for 1¢.

Would have really lost my interest in the league if they had let this slide since it just makes the richest teams have a massive advantage. Really glad they did this.

One of the great things about the NBA is that owners cannot simply buy a championship. It did not work for Prokhorov and the Nets and it has not worked for Balmer with the Clippers.

Obviously the inverse is true. Plenty of teams fell out of championship contention because the owner tried to cut payroll.

I thought that there was a non-creepy reason that every app used to ask for permission to make phone calls. Something like pausing the game when you get a phone call.

It would be better if there was more granularity in permissions and I don’t think that “automatic game pausing” is an important enough feature to justify the permission, but I recognize that most users will just click “yes” until their game starts.

I suspect that it works because she is your wife. BO works a lot better on your 101st date than it does on your 1st date. It is not about your armpits having an alluring scent, but the fact that the scent reminds your wife of times she got you all sweaty and stinky. It calls back to driving home after a long hike or snuggling with you on a cold winter day. It is a scent that she is used to smelling when she is looking at someone she loves.

I was not talking about her in particular, I was talking about hating all people who served in the IDF. I know people who did mandatory service in the IDF. They think the war is tragic and stupid.

It is not that common. I have never seen a snowman that looked run over.

IDF service is mandatory for Israeli youth, so I would not damn people who served in the IDF at one point but condemn the current war.

I value a good playthrough much more than a review. Just because an influencer likes a game does not mean I will.

A good playthrough should put me in the mind of a player. For example:

• How much are they paying attention to their own game state vs. looking to help/hinder their opponent?
• How many different moves do they need to consider?
• How much are they calculating the expected value of a move?
• How many things do they need to remember?
• How much of their strategy is based on preexisting knowledge from previous games?

A reviewer might not bring it up or may have a different preference for it than I don

There is a market segment that loves them and you can cut some corners on difficulty tuning. As long as the game is impossibly hard with no meta-progression unlocked and laughably easy with all meta-progression unlocked, you can call it good enough.

Sally, Limited Run Games releases some games on Game Key Cards.

It is a big deal. If Epic changes some API and breaks Heroic, it is your problem for using an unsupported third party application. If Epic breaks their official client, their QA manager has a problem.

It is a Bomberman rip-off, but very fun. The Steam page claims they can support any number of players, but recommends limiting it to 4-20.

It is a grand jury. That is the practice round for a trial. The prosecutor goes over the evidence and explains what argument they are going to make in court without the defendent or their lawyer present to argue against it. The role of a grand jury is to pump the prosecutor up and say “You got this. I would totally believe you if I was on a real jury.”

The fact that in this case, the grand jury said “That is stupid. You have no argument. Just let the guy walk,” means that either the prosecutor is an incompetent idiot who did not understand what evidence he was presenting or the jury thought that no crime had been committed.

Obviously you should not exclude her. The more people, the better the efficiency.

In (US criminal) law, you need to prove “beyond a reasonable doubt”. If no reasonable person would have a doubt that the killing is political then legally it is proven. The point of the jury is to be a representative sample of reasonable people.

That is why they should not quit on the spot. Start applying for job postings and quit once they have a new offer in hand.

I thought that the US banned flavored vapes. If your home country has not, encourage politicians to ban vapes altogether.

Edit: In retrospect, I should let the vape addicts be.

MySpace (and a lot of early social media) was about keeping up with what was going on in your friends lives, not screaming into the void and being drowned out by brands and influencers (like I am doing now).
