If they aren’t rich enough, then they are in the same boat as us. This ain’t exactly new… AWS workspaces, Azure Cloud PCs, Google docs, office 365, one drive. The tech has been creeping it’s way into businesses for the last 10 years. Obviously they are getting hammered right now by the raise in prices of new PCs. As the prices go up, they will have to make decisions.
I’ve called this so many times over… It’s not just going to be xbox… it’s going to be PCs in general, With AI data centers raising up the price on all hardware, They are already making moves in the government on banning routers. The plan is going to be for personal computers and hardware to leave the world. Either price them out of consumer reach or flat out outlaw them. We get thin clients like stadia, Luna etc… Actually having a personal computer capable of running software itself will be considered a national security threat. Why wouldn’t you keep your stuff in the cloud where the government can audit it, companies can make sure you aren’t pirating or running unapproved illegal LLMs that could make bombs etc…
No they believe that if they stop everyone who will vote against them from voting, that the handful of die hard supporters will carry the rest. They aren’t trying to motivate the base, they are trying to either arrest or intimidate the opposition.
They can, they just don’t want to start from scratch, they had brand deals here, and their brands don’t care as much as them over there.
Pretty much what 90% of this is… “they had a life, job and everything in the united states, they gave everything up and moved to another country, and pikachu face, starting from scratch isn’t easy.”
I’m not from the US, but I am interested to know if Benjamin Franklin falls on this category? What is his crime?
By definition the founding fathers overthrew their existing government.
It’s equally valued, if someone says a snake is not poisonous they are usually meaning that it’s not venomous, as there’s very few contexts where people are worried about the risks of eating a snake, and very few are poisonous.
So yes conversationally the rat is right as he knows the concept is mis implied.
However, it’s also worth pointing out that, the story doesn’t tell us whether the snake is venomous at all. He’s drawn with fangs so, maybe, but it’s entirely a moot point because snakes don’t need venom to kill a mouse.
But you are talking the same generation, biggest concept I’m noting, is a human personality. I’m not looking at the lifetime that things were effected in, I’m looking at the proceding generation. 2 kids born to the same parents, are entirely different people, completely different likes, personalities, etc…
I agree if I mess with your individual life… most things aren’t going to change a whole lot. but assuming you have kids, that’s a whole new roll.
Lets look at it this way, if I randomly portalled into a minecraft server, threw a few creepers, maybe killed a guy and took his stuff, the world would roughly build more or less the same… few people would even know the difference.
But lets say those players, then create their own games afterwards. Minecraft generates the seed based on the milliseconds the clock was at. Which means if my actions, even slightly caused any player to leave that world early or stay a little bit longer, the seed of the next games they play… would be ENTIRELY different, which will entirely change how everything else comes together.
So in short, yes in the generation you effected, no one would see the difference most likely. but everyone you interacted with will have completely different children, Those children will effect even more people, also completely changing whatever children those people will have etc…
Honestly something that always pops in my head as well. Also why I find so many movies, tv shows with alternate dimensions etc… interpretation of time travel so ridiculous.
I mean theoretically the aspect of what makes you… well you, comes down to literally which one of millions of sperm happens to hit an egg etc… Bottom line is, your dad’s schedule is adjusted by .3 seconds, he takes 1 step more on a street than he wouldn’t have, he eats a different breakfast one month before, that’s a whole reroll of the entire genetic dice. Someone being essentially the exact same person in 2000, in an alternate timeline where the nazi’s won WW2, is such an absurd concept it’s completely ridiculous. The idea of timelines or dimensions where, every person is roughly the same people they are, but the world itself is different, is pretty absurd to me. Marty McFly undid his existence the moment he slightly changed his mothers schedule, Making sure she got together with her dad, would not have been nearly enough to fix that.
Honestly I think the very concept of backwards time travel would by definition self correct.
Hypothetically Joe Smith invents the time machine, somewhere down the line, someone slightly alters the past, ripple effects, now Terry Jones invents the time machine instead of Joe Smith (which is it’s own paradox, but assuming the effects of joes actions still are in place), Terry has a different concept, different people go in and use it, a different change is made, someone else invents the time machine. Ad infinium, the universal dice keep on re-rolling, no time line ever is final until, we get a timeline where the time machine isn’t made, most likely due to extinction of the species that could have created it, prior to reaching the technological level that makes it. Or something completely destroys the resource needed to make it or similar.
May he be as effective for her as Liz Cheny was for Harris.
I can’t even wrap my head around the concept of calling Russia the “good guys”. I can at least comprehend the arguement that Ukraine is a bad country. But hell even if I accepted the idea that Ukraine is a bunch of Nazi’s, they are keeping all their stuff in their own borders. Russia on the other hand… is expanding, and if they just anex Ukraine, I think other countries need to worry about being taken over next.
Trying to is a hard thing to define in the game. The fact that it can flat out rewrite time shows an absurd amount of power, while I didn’t watch the sequels I’m assuming it’s motives aren’t known, and the fact that it has as much power as it does, and never resulted in killing a player, and in fact due to time travel schenanigans actually saved 2 lives would lead me to believe that it could be all knowing and altruistic.
Or possibly just neutral, or a game for survival training. Maybe everyone dying is just “losing”, which would also trigger a rewind and reset just like winning does.
What does Russia hold over us?
blackmail on a guy that a significant portion of the country was stupid enough to elect as president twice.
Well it would be assumed the player would be eliminated and would remain dead until someone wins the game. Obviously it’s just speculation but I’d guess it would take a hostage and find a way to find a new player to reach the desired number of players.
Now search for a stack overflow comment, with one answer that’s not relevant and doesn’t work anymore and 30 “this is a duplicate it’s already been answered in a post 10 years ago”, and 1 niche forum with someone who had the exact issue, followed with “Thanks I figured it out”.
Well for me, my wife had a ton of pictures laying around, and some scattered on google drive etc…
I basically did a huge scanning project in secret, set up an immich server and surprised her with it. That absolutely is one of her favorite gifts of all time.
Now as far as doing that with someone that didn’t stay in the same house, on an OS I wasn’t already managing… no probably wouldn’t imagine doing that unless the person was already showing signs of interest in managing something like that… in which case it should be done as a “lets build this together” project.
I guess depends on the risk factor you want to take. For me I’d go VPN. You could go port forwarding, or you could even do something like temporarally use something like anydesk depending if you want to trust a corporation for remote access.
No idea how many were actually done, if I recall it was making large pyramids of milk crates and attempting to climb them. Largely resulting in the structure collapsing and people getting banged up.
Not really, this administration doesn’t have any problem asking for resignations and firing people, as long as they aren’t white men.
Edit: my bad in thinking about it… Patel’s still there so… perhaps the white isn’t quite needed for immunity.
Why not, just take that as a lesson? Small time creator fine… but, we’re talking a thumbnail here, take a random screenshot from the video, toss a text overlay. Boom you are done. and honestly you’ll stand out MORE, because everybody’s doing the Mr Beast style thumbnail, you don’t need to badly imitate the big boys… just do your own thing.
I do agree it’s a fraud, but I’d also say “native sign language speaker” is a bit of a misnomer. Comparing it to a human we’d be talking about someone with perfect hearing but born mute. IE if they were taught by someone who spoke out loud as they signed, they would understand ryming in ways that someone who was deaf obviously wouldn’t.
