The problem with renting rather than owning your hardware and software

Why is anyone still buying Nintendo products at all?

I LOL’d at taking the ADL as a credible source. Any group who tried to spin Musk’s Nazi salute has no business speaking publicly ever again. I hope Wikipedia continues to give them the respect they deserve — none at all.

Any word on when they plan to cancel access since no one owns anything except Ubisoft?

This is the problem with rented software. The obvious solution is to support indie developers and retailers like GOG.

Actually, he can’t count at all. He’s just discovered that lining up numbers gets a reaction, so he keeps doing it.

I mean, it was always GOG anyway. This just shows that it’s the right decision.

So the founders figured out how to sell the company AND keep control of it. Neat!

I find more and more that I have to check the source to be sure which are Onion articles and which are real headlines. Sadly, the truly outrageous ones tend to be real these days.

Maybe the AI was trained on a Pornhub-heavy dataset?

I think Welsh also has the lower teeth-upper lip variant. I think it’s phonemic and not an allophone of /f/, but I’m not certain.

As for why, these seem like good hypotheses. I sure don’t know :)

It’s been a few years since Intro to Phonetics, but aren’t labiodentals produceable with either upper teeth-lower lip, as seems the case in this study, or with lower teeth-upper lip, as would be the case in edge-to-edge alignment?

Diet affecting evolution and thus language seems plausible, but this doesn’t seem a strong argument.

 

One takeaway from this TED Talk is that Title IX, rather than balancing the playing field for women, tilted it against men. Are there any clear solutions?

What is it with Nike and sexualized athletic uniforms these days (see MBA see-through pants)? Did PornHub invest without anyone noticing?

 

Are any peeps from OSGrid active here?
