I don't mind a little ad in the menu, about stuff directly related to game I'm playing. Those little "Hey we released a new content dlc to this exact game" infos can actually be informative. What I really can't stand is stuff breaking the immersion of the game. I'm not even mad about product placements, when they fit the theme and are sparsely used.

$250 seems like a normal price for Apple peripherals.

It's awesome how much you can pack on a horse. A 4tb Samsung 990 Pro weights 9g. Let's say a horse can carry 450kg. Thats 450.000g / 9g/4tb = 50.000 × 4 tb = 200 pt. Latency is shit though.

I'd like to see such a rule, but doubt that there won't be any loopholes to circumvent it. You can already see some of those in sports. There are a lot of stories on how clubs "dealt" with financial fair play in european football and I heard rumors of a similar thing with the american salary cap too.

Just some ideas:

  • ridiculously long contracts with "fair" pay
  • managers are working for a seperate company that only contains managers
  • seperate overpayed contracts for a none existing job
  • material/service based rewards like private jets

All in all good luck with finding a politician pushing this through (most lf the are exactly in those positions) and finding all the loopholes. Rich people can pay a lot of experts to become even richer

Multiple things:

  • A lot of mobile games include ridiculous micro transactions
  • a lot are copy paste concepts or are missing game depth and complexity (comparable with Minesweeper or Solitaire)
  • the standard input device (touch) is not great for traditional games developed for physical button games

There are definitely exceptions to the problems, but I haven't found a mobile game yet that catches me for 100h.

Just leaving a "Aber die Spaltmaße" comment here.

How to buy a company, without actually buying the company.

Capitalism here, why is 4) a con?

A book in one language yes, but don't forget translations. Books of famous writers are sometimes released in multiple languages on the same day.

Gotta try the tastiest brand: Asbestos, nane checks out

It's an Usb-A gender changer. It's not that useful but you could use it to turn an otg adapter (female usb-a to male usb-c) into a regular usb-c cable. I'd rather buy a usb-c cable though.

Same for me. Time spend getting to work is basically also work time, which is usually not paid.

For a "fun" experiment just calculate how many hours you are on the way to work every year:

daily_travel_minutes * days_on_site / 60

Divide this by 8 to see how many holidays you get by switching to a fully/mostly remote job.

Not from the us but scientific research is usually very costly . They need funding to stay at the technological edge and therefore accept funding and therefore do some "shady" studies or whatever strings you might imagine.

Absolutely right, but nobody should expect it to be a perfect solution to all the problems.

We could send those to Suzanne Bell, she seems to be in need of bright things that can light up an area.

A great series is the german "Tatortreiniger" which translates to something like "crime scene cleaner". I'd describe it as a small scale theatre like series, each episode playing inside a house or a few rooms, with a few characters. The main character usually has to clean up a crime scene and is confronted with the other residents of the building. It has a special kind of humor, mostly transported by really strange everyday situations.

Tu stulidus et asinus est.

Gotta learn the most important words first.

I really liked boost on Reddit, but it probably comes to personal preference. Haven't tried anything else (besides the official app years ago) and never felt the need to try anything else.

People will do everything that givesthem an advantage in anykind of way. If coal is an affordable resource to fulfill a need it will be mined and put to use.

You may change the view on a thing for a few persons, but never of all of them.

They need to keep the criminals at bay.

Pretty self-explanatory if you think about the people that design those fining procedures and what there wealth and income is.

Splice, that film didn't make sense at all.

Bought 20 pairs of identical black socks. Best investment ever.

Shout at him that he should get a kart, as it should be.

I try to eat as few highly processed food as possible. Nearly all industrial meals and convenience products are packed with artificial substances to improve taste and especially optimize production cost. Most prominent water in combination with something to adjust viscosity.

Full meal replacements are the pinnacle of high processed foods IMO. You take "everything that a human needs" mix it with water and stuff it with aroma.

I got some problems with this approach:

  • I'm not confident that there is really everything I need in it

  • Extracting nutrition from food usually takes time, drinks are easy to process and probably release nutrition much fast (needs confirmation)

  • Eating is not only about getting nutrition, chewing also triggers effects on your body

  • Eating only artificial stuff destroys your taste, a lot of people are so used to highly processed stuff that they can't even appreciate the taste of high quality food

  • Take a break for eating, you can socialise with your family or coworkers and give your body time to regenerate

The Hunter: Call of the Wild. I have nothing to do with hunting. I'd never thought a hunting simulation could be my type of game, but putting headphones on and running through the woods is so relaxing.

Implement a calculator in Java. Easy to set up, easy to start and easy to extend on nearly anything.

Yes, I described that unprecisely. You basically have to calc the difference between a full remote day and an on site day.

Thats a Snog

Saw it in a sneak preview, definitely not worth the 4€ and 2h

Your focusshould be on something that catches his interest. Depending on the child I'd say choose stuff that is easily to learn but has some depth too it. If you want to invest some time do some projects with him, to give easy goals to achieve and continue. Be the rabbit hole.

They said that my account is locked for suspicious behaviour and I was to lazy to unlock it. Guess I wont gwt the extra entries for giveaways anymore, whatever.

Why is length a problem exactly? If you enjoy a game for 200h that's great. If you get bored of it after 20h fine play something else. There's no need to complete everything in every game you ever bought.

All of that points are valid questions to be solved for an implementation. I want to add another one: Which part of the users profit from this?

Most users don't give a fuck which browser they use as long as it's working. They cannot comprehend most information you described in your questions and want a simple solution. The other part of users usually knows how to install and select a browser of their choice on a PC. After all it's not that hard with the current OS choices available anyway.
