The complaints about the arms industry/the cost of war has been around since recorded history.

AI server farms has only been around for a few years.

I hear they try to sync cuming in the theater to when she says “It’s Morbin’ Time!”

I had a guy buy me two drinks at an expensive Vegas bar. He didn’t really even want to talk.

It is the reason why Microsoft was able to gimp the Internet for so long with Internet Explorer. Companies couldn’t make money off of the browser, so Microsoft made a browser that helped defend the Windows monopoly.

Except during seismic events.

Depends on the sand.

That’s also generally more the geotechnical engineer’s call.

I’m a structural engineer. It is part of the job.

I’ve been mostly right.

I wished I worked out more right now. My problem is that I’m spending more and more spoons on my job and I don’t have enough remaining to exercise.

It’s the bosses, but it appears to be an industry wide issue instead of just one company.

Nah.

The problem is that AAA gaming hasn’t really innovated that much in the last decade while development costs go up to fund better visuals. Worse, consumers won’t pay for the higher development costs.

I’m surprised that the gaming industry is as large as it is.

Public performance in general can be stressful; people get stage fright all the time.

It feels less like “one big problem” and more like death by a thousand cuts.

A lot of sci-fi was generally written to play with a few ideas. I think it would be difficult to create a narrative around several problems with different causes and solutions.

I don’t care enough to have one.

My guess is that it is still in the process of being implemented.

And my guess is that they are implementing this everywhere to prevent people who want to overstay their visa to have a loophole.

There is currently only one recognized African country, Ethiopia, that recognizes Somaliland. Why only one African country? Because the others are afraid that a reevaluation of borders at best gets you something like the Partition of India at best and at worst gets you war between two countries.

This isn’t white man’s burden shit.

While there has been a taboo against the changing of borders in Africa due to legitimate reasons, it became accepted that South Sudan should be created due to the destabilizing force that the Sudanese government played in the local populace. While the southern part of Somalia isn’t a direct threat to Somaliland, it is obvious that there isn’t a central Somali government able to enact control over Somaliland and the Somaliland government doesn’t wish territorial expansion to become the legitimate government of all Somalia.

In these terms, I feel like the recognition of Somaliland isn’t destabilizing to the region and seems to be a better option than continued anarchy over a wider area.

I also feel like Djibouti is trying to fight against this recognition as this gives Ethiopia another path to sea access.

None at all.

They fry the burgers with mustard; add grilled onions, pickles and extra burger sauce.

I’ll eat at smaller restaurants if I get a chance. I’ve eaten at George Motz’s restaurant in NYC and liked it.

I’ll get an In-N-Out Animal Style Burger. I like it.

In-N-Out

I make it a point to eat there when I can when I won’t anywhere else.
