18 billion yearly profit last I checked.

Not enough.

Never enough.

Online servers cost money.

Id rather an online game charge me a monthly subscription and give me access to all content rather than ftp with half the content in the cash shop.

No one does that.

President has wide latitude in matters like this. Air strikes in this context are legal for him. He can even deploy troops as long as their deployment isn’t longer then 60 days.

Because they can be slotted in to work existing machinery without retooling the entire plant.

Working long solo sessions of people leaving me the fuck alone tends to be correlated with me getting projects done.

I’m one of those older Trekkies who will complain about the aesthetic choices of the DSC sets.

My view is that there is a certain style with sci-fi shows of this nature that are part of their identity.

Large swings in design choices are very distracting to the point of being off putting to me unless there is good reason for it.

One thing I absolutely applaud Disney for is how they’ve managed to modernize but still keep the 70s aesthetics in their Star Wars shows. And I wish Trek had followed the same path.

My mother is like this. She rents out her house for under half it’s market value.

The tenants know they have it good though and do a lot of things that really should be my mother’s responsibility like pay for or do minor repairs when they come up.

I have told my mom that the needs to raise rent at least some because she’s not saving enough for big things that will come up like roof replacement, but she’s terrified of her tenants leaving.

Yeah, but I’m talking about if this happened to me when I was a kid.

I kinda would have been, but I had a dictionary at home so didn’t use the library one much.

The programs these churches run are typically filling in gaps in social programs that the government doesn’t have the political mandate to enact.

If these churches were taxed you’d see their charities diminished while the funding went to some pork belly spending project, or at the very least not related to what services the church is suddenly not providing.

Not all government spending is a net positive.

Wouldn’t know, have ublock.

Further erode relations between Israel and other ME countries.

Turn international political option against Israel.

The only path to any kind of resolution in which Gaza gets sovereignty is if Israel is forced to the table by the international community.

To do that, Hamas has to get Israel to kill as many Gaza citizens as they can

What media is an LLM going to be able to reproduce that I can’t already reproduce with a copy paste?

Everyone knows how dangerous guns are. Part of the point of owning one is that it can be used in a dangerous situation to protect yourself.

The mental issue part is why anyone would want to harm another human with one.

Solution is stop using delivery services.

Apparently the plan was to disband the local department and merge it into the department of a neighboring area, then split the cost in an effort to lower the overall operating costs of police services in the area.

The other city they were going to do this with declined the deal and so this town had to keep their local force in tact.

Upon hearing that the city they worked for was trying to eliminate their jobs, a bunch quit.

No joke, 50th anniversary of the first F16 flight is coming up very soon.

Granted the guts of that plane have been upgraded over and over, but still.

I own the push mower version.

That was true of the first gen batteries. They lasted a year and then stopped holding a charge.

There are second gen batteries that seem to be holding up better, I’ll be going into my third year with them soon so we’ll see.
