If NASA goes with Boeing for the rocket, they can expect the rocket to disassemble itself halfway into the atmosphere.

Feels like Epic should shoulder some of the blame here as well, considering they allowed the fossil fuel company in the game at all. Fuck both of these companies.
Some company made one once, back in the early 2010s. I think they released a successor the following year, but neither phone sold well enough to keep going. It would be cool as hell if that were more common, though.
Hulu DID start out with ads. When they launched it was an entirely ad supported service. Hulu+ didn't come until years later. After several years of running two tiers of service, free ad supported and paid ad free, they dropped the free tier. Now, years later, we're back to ads with Hulu, but this time you pay for the privilege.
It's well past time for all workers to unionize. The corpos are only getting worse and we need to organize to protect ourselves.
The UK just passed this exact law. They say it's to protect children, but it requires all companies to build a backdoor into their end to end encryption specifically so they can spy on users for "inappropriate material that is harmful to children."
I dunno about the guy you responded to, but speaking for myself, that might actually give me enough time to play through my Steam backlog.
VLC works pretty well for me.
I'm going to start killing 231 people who piss me off every day, because that's fine, right? It's not like I'm committing a genocide. By your own standards, I'd be doing something "VERY REASONABLE." [sic]
It's really weird that you think the worst genocide in human history (at least the worst one that I'm aware of) is the minimum standard for any genocide. According to your own standards, only 1 genocide has ever occurred. A quick look at the history books shows that's obviously not true. Countless peoples have faced genocide of varying degrees throughout history. If you think taking a mere 23 years to exterminate an entire culture/people from a specific region of Earth is some vast amount of time, I really have to wonder exactly what the fuck is wrong with you.
EDIT: In response to your edit, how about you directly respond to even a single person who called you out on your atrocious bullshit with "FACTS AND LOGIC" [sic] instead of just editing your post to whine about down votes. You are disgusting and deserve to step on stray Legos every time you stand up.
This absolutely was NOT a reasonable viewpoint in 2016. He's been clear about who and what he was going back to the 80s, at least.
Q'PLA!
Yes, but if it isn't from the Vodka region of Russia, it's just sparkling potato juice.
Where does the energy to break down the water in the car come from?
65 is generally considered the retirement age, so my proposal that I responded to another comment with is that if you're gonna turn 65 during your hypothetical term, you're not eligible to run. It's time to sail off into the sunset or sit on your porch to yell at the kids to stay off your lawn or whatever the hell. You're no longer representative of the general population and are in no position to be crafting policy for years after your death. You did your service, now step aside and let the next generation have their turn.
I'm pretty sure you could help but root for him. It seems a simple decision not to root for a blithering, hateful idiot. I'm pretty sure no one was forcing you to cheer on a dumpster fire like that guy. Just because someone's an underdog doesn't mean they're deserving of your consideration. Remember kids, fascism isn't a meme.
I'm pretty sure they bought the rubber ducks at stores or online.
What really gets me agitated is when people don't use the helper verb "to be." Examples include, "The tea needs strained," or "The car needs washed." No, you miserable cunts. The tea needs TO BE strained. The car needs TO BE washed. Nothing presently needs the past tense of an action. I know there's parts of the US where this sentence construction is common but those entire regions can honestly fuck off. People say it's a dialect or something. I don't buy it. Not knowing basic rules of your native language isn't a dialect. It's just you being dumb. I hate it so much!
You know what else I hate? "It is what it is." Of course it is, you dense motherfucker! If it wasn't what it was, it would be something else, which would then be what it is! It's the most nonsensical phrase I've ever heard and it pretty much exists so you have something to say when you have nothing even remotely worth hearing to say.
I'm not who you asked, but my opinion is that it comes down to the types of people you're dealing with and age of the industries. The video game industry isn't that old, especially in its modern, mega blockbuster age. By its very nature, it's something that is on or near the leading edge of technology. This means the people involved are usually (though not always) forward thinking and live in the modern world.
By contrast, the motion picture industry is over a century old. It's deeply established in how it does business and you can see the effects of that entrenchment every time a new technology emerges that affects how people watch film and TV. They went to court to make VCRs illegal. DVDs were too high quality, so they made a self destructing kind of DVD (remember divx before it bizarrely became the name of a codec?). The industry went to war with itself more than once with format wars (VHS vs Beta, HD-DVD vs Blu-ray). This isn't an industry that handles change well, and they've always believed everyone is a lying thief.
All this to say, the video game industry is trying to make money in the modern world, while the TV/film industry is trying to cling to a business model one or two generations out of date because they fear change. There's no technical reason that a game or a movie couldn't be licensed for exactly the same amount of time. It's just how the people with power in both industries operate.
If the movie industry was smart, they'd have looked at what the music industry did and just copy/pasted that. The music industry has 2 kinds of stores, neither of which they involve themselves in running:
Compare that to the TV/film industry who looked at all that and decided to do the opposite. They run their own streaming only stores that are all bleeding money instead of fostering competition by encouraging more places like Netflix to start up. They don't, to the best of my knowledge, run any stores where you can download a DRM free video file after paying a reasonable price. This whole industry is fucked, but it's so massive it can absorb decades of bad decisions because there's enough good actual product that people will pay for. And that insulation from their shit decision making and their fear of change is why TV/film licenses are so much more restrictive than game licenses, at least IMO.
Plenty of electronics have been able to get IP ratings while still having headphone jacks. It's a trivial part to include as it is practically an ancient bit of tech and doesn't introduce some kind of massive complexity to the device. Repair is a simple swap of the module. Nothing you're saying has anything to do with supporting your claim of its removal leading to greater sustainability or reliability. Its materials are no different from the rest of the phone, meaning it's just as sustainable as the rest of the parts, and it's not a part that's prone to failure, meaning it's just as reliable as the rest.
Fair and sustainable supply chains shouldn't mean I have to throw out perfectly good electronics at home, such as wired headphones, because this company wants to save a trivial amount of money. Keeping the headphone jack means a greater level of sustainability because I don't have to replace other fully functional electronics to use with this phone.
...I wouldn't mind if there were more love service games. 👀
You know you only need one period to end a sentence, right?
Or an instapot!
I have. They tend to be poorly shielded so you get all kinds of hiss and other shenanigans in the audio when you're charging and listening at the same time. The adapters exist, but I've yet to come across one that isn't terrible.
Lol, what a tantrum. I responded directly to the points you raised and this epic rant is your reply.
For more cost? Headphone jacks are not even remotely expensive. Yes, they've been left out of a number of other phones for several years now. I and many others complained about it then and we're still complaining about it now. This isn't a Fairphone specific complaint, but it does suck to see yet another company go this route. And I promise you, headphone jacks have no bearing on the shit pay practices of the entire smartphone industry.
I didn't say headphone jacks don't ever fail. Maybe reread what I wrote before you go on a rant. Look up failure rates of headphone jacks vs other components and you'll see that they're not more prone to failure than other components. And why would the headphone jack in a Fairphone be soldered on? To make it repairable, shouldn't it be a separate module you can swap out if it does fail? By your own logic, they should take USB ports out of phones for the very same reasons they removed headphone jacks. And who knows, maybe that's where the market will go. As for me, my next phone will be a Sony Xperia, since they still make high end phones with SD card slots, headphone jacks, and have bezels for the front facing camera so you don't interrupt the screen. These are all features important to me, so that's where my money will go when it comes time to replace my 4 year old phone.
Also, great use of ad hominems and "you're all shills!" when you're confronted with things you can't refute. This thread isn't shit, but your poor grasp of logic, name calling, and goalpost shifting sure is. And yes, you can mute an entire post. The exact process will depend on if you're using the website or the specific app, but I'm sure if you go to the support community of whatever you're using and ask them in the same charming way you're speaking here, you'll get the help you need to mute this whole post.
That's what you get when trying to charge a phone with a ladder!
I've got a bunch of games running off a big old SD card with no problems.
I don't think you're legally allowed to be confused by anything after posting this meme.
Have you tried using MakeMKV to dump the video directly into an mkv file?
How did you manage to take such a terribly off center screenshot, you monster?
Alternatively, what sort of trash player puts the play button so off center?
It's hard to say. Look how long it took for the music industry to stop suing their customers en masse and just adapt to a changing market. The film/TV industry hasn't even begun walking that path. It may never change, but if it does, I suspect it'll take a very long time.
You've heard incorrectly, as I use the free version to make videos of my terrible gameplay and I usually export to MP4 using H264.
How does a game where you don't actually do battle have a battle pass? Absurd!
Who's Fred and how can I learn more about their verse?
How about I listen to what he has to say when he and his team supports one of their recent music games for longer than about a year.
I recently came across https://pixelfed.org/ for an Instagram replacement. I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but it looks promising. Seems like a federated platform like Lemmy/Mastodon that's geared towards photo sharing.
Studies show red light cameras don't decrease accident rates in the intersections they're installed at. Furthermore, some municipalities have started doing things like varying timing of the light cycle to get more people running red lights for the increased revenue. These cameras haven't been shown to decrease accident or injury/fatality rates anywhere they're installed. If you're against people being slaughtered by cars, it seems you should be against red light cameras since they don't do any good and have the potential to make things worse.
BRIDGE SIX FOUR!
Very true!
I'd much rather have Tau'ri calendar software than Goa'uld software of any kind. Who knows what kind of malicious code those snakes have snuck in there?
