Nah I'd believe that. That's exactly the sort of four dimensional genius business move that Musk is known for.

Korpiklaaani's cover of Ievan Polkka goes absolutely insanely hard

Yes, that's the only thing I know about them

I've also recently discovered Brothers of Metal who despite having the most boring metal band name in history are a pretty good nordic/viking metal band, I'm a big fan of Powersnake by them in particular recently

Dont care what games or executables i wont be able to run

Between Wine and Proton that's basically a non issue anymore, go ahead and make the switch. The era of windows exclusive software is pretty much over.

Just collate them based on edit/deletion date... Each post will have a last-edited attribute that can be used for sorting. Even more so once the AI is bootstrapped enough to start recognizing the standard protest edit messages. At that point you hardly even need human oversight anymore, because the bot will be able to recognize "that's a fuck spez edit, ignore that; this post looks good; that's a Shreddit/PowerDelete edit, ignore that" and so on. Can even have it fetch the previous edit automatically when it comes across something like that, to a point where a comment removed by a PowerDelete tool is nothing more than a cover letter that states "there was once a real human-generated comment in this location".

I have a feeling there is a very large number of people just waiting for the shoe to drop

Sekiro is a lot more lenient on its parrying than Souls is. Whenever you see an attack incoming just mash the hell out of the block button for 1-2 seconds, more often than not you'll get the parry. It's the only Fromsoft game that allows that without punishing it.

For some later bosses you'll have to actually get their timing down but that'll carry you far enough through the game for you to get your feet under you.

A sibling is a lot easier to approach in a lot of subjects than a parent, I think. Sometimes this is what a person needs, and if their sibling is willing and able to meet them on that this is just a good personal family dynamic.

Truly it boggles the mind.

Of course. Backwards compatibility for Nintendo died with the original Wii. That's almost certainly never coming back.

For legal reasons I am required to inform you that I am not a financial advisor. In fact, I am not real.

Now you have the time to actually write up a design document and let your half-baked idea become a fully cooked one before you drop a bunch of cash on it

It isn't a waste if people buy it. Putting M4s in the iPad lets them market it to rubes who think bigger number is better without reading the spec sheet or understanding their own requirements, and if they're already manufacturing M4s to put in other things, that's one less production line that needs to run. Sure, they could release an iPad Cheapass Edition with an M1 in it and sell it comfortably at a profit for like $80, but the market for those is likely to be small, they won't make nearly the overhead profit that the M4 iPad will, it requires an entire extra production line setup, and most importantly it isn't flashy enough for Apple. They don't want to release a product that feels cheap, even if it was specifically intended to be cheap. It's bad brand optics and they care about that a lot. Let China sell a bunch of bootleg tablets to people that want them, they're gonna do that anyway regardless if Apple gets in the train or not, and this way Apple isn't tarnishing their product lineup with a PoorPad^TM
