If the government was trying to funnel money to vaccine companies they’d just make the vaccines free and pay for them with government funds, forever. That makes a lot more money than having the companies try to get people to fork out 100 pounds for them.

Or you could try reading what was actually said properly, rather than making up something different that wasn’t said by anyone except you.

Is it though? I’m not sure the various Mongol empires are exactly your typical tribal people. I’m not sure you can even call them tribal people at all in the modern sense. They were an empire spanning a vast region of the world at one point.

Thanks! That’s comforting to hear. I hadn’t heard of godot but it does sound pretty cool, I’ll check it out! Are any of these more suited to Linux development than others? I haven’t used Windows in like a decade* and kind of can’t be assed with it unless I really have to :). I tried installing Unreal 4 on my underpowered laptop running Ubuntu a few years back, and I did get it working but it was kind of a drag, maybe they’ve tightened up the Linux version since then though…

*Ok l lie, my work machine is Windows but I kind of forget that it is because i immediately log in to Linux machines to do all my actual work aside from writing emails and video chatting ;).

I mean yeah you’re not wrong, but physical media doesn’t last forever either. Vinyl is pretty good, but pretty much every form of digital storage will slowly waste away without some dedicated upkeep effort. Unless you’re really willing to put in some serious effort maintaining a personal digital archive it kind of is just better to treat everything as a lease.

The only thing that really worries me are stuff like family photos and videos, and other important digital documents. Yeah I can print some of them, and I should do that more, but on the other hand they’re probably safer from destruction with Google than they are in my house. Both would be best though.

Coming up with something even more inefficient isn’t a win.

I think him in a courtroom will be different, perhaps startlingly so. He won’t be able to just say whatever he wants, he’ll have to actually try to make a logical coherent case. Which, being impossible for him personally, means that I think we will not hear much from him. His legal team will do most of the talking, if he has any brains at all.

I used to enjoy manual but now I just kind of hate driving in general so I am happier with auto where I can eat chips or something while driving to make the traffic feel less hellish. Looking forward to self driving cars so I can just take a nap while getting from A to B.

I don’t blame them for not understanding 40 years ago, but I do blame them for not understanding now. Older generations still contain the majority of climate deniers and other heel draggers, and their votes make a big difference.

Just don’t point the camera at the jury?
