sense of sharing media is that strong?

Essentially yes. Though ‘sticking it’ to the Disney’s of the world (and their regulatory capture of governments) is also motivating.

It’s still on wheels, It’s just that this time they’re scoring a few points in the public eye before moving it.

Spending those trillions was the point, that it bought the world’s most powerful military was a bonus.

That’s one is my neighbors

You fight like my sister!

I’ve fought your sister, that’s a compliment!

Great movie.

The Monkey Paw says “nah, all good on this one, no downside”

And we will root for the remnants of the republic that was replaced and the rag tag band of freedom fighters?

You know what’s nice? She gets down to his level to talk to him.

The above passage, for example, comes from Game Feel, a game design guide written by Steve Swink.

Steve Swink (and his editors) needs to be forced fed a copy of his book.

Being able to design games doesn’t mean one can write about designing games.

Like persephone playing a saxophone.

Now do 5-eyes too.

There is a study that showed empirically that reducing the media coverage (and strictly avoiding coverage of methods and some other aspects) of suicides reduced the rates of suicide in the affected populations.

So there’s science behind the avoidance.

IMHO the media do seem fairly clumsy going about it though.

For those like me who didn’t quite get it:

The movie that plays at the Mannheim psychiatric hospital begins with The A-Team (1983) theme music, and its credits contain names that relate to the original team’s careers: The first name credited is “Reginald Barclay”. Dwight Schultz, who was the original Murdock, played a character named Reginald Barclay in Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987). The next credit reads “Thomas Banacek”. George Peppard, who was the original Hannibal, played investigator Thomas Banacek in Banacek (1972). The third and final credit reads “G.F. Starbuck”. Dirk Benedict, who was the original Face, played Lieutenant Starbuck in Battlestar Galactica (1978).

First one, then t’other.

He gets Bill’s erection instead.

Yeah, that happened way before the current AI slop bubble.

“They’re hurting the wrong people”

Now I’m imagining a far side style cartoon with a bunch of critters surrounding one who’s chomping down on the body…

“Christ Jeff, that fucker’s a pedophile, we may be animals but we have fucking standards”

A wizard did it.

OK. Science time. Somewhat arbitrary values used, the point is there is a amortization calculation, you’ll need to calculate your own with accurate input values.

A PC drawing 100W 24/7 uses 877 [email protected] $131.49 per year.

A NAS drawing 25W 24/7 uses 219 [email protected] $32.87 per year

So, in this hypothetical case you “save” about $100/year on power costs running the NAS.

Assuming a capacity equivalent NAS might cost $1200 then you’re better off using the PC you have rather than buying a NAS for 12 years.

This ignores that the heat generated by the devices is desirable in winter so the higher heat output option has additional utility.
