Only illegal if the maternity leave was the reason, and it can be shown to be the reason. Over 200 people were also laid off at the same time. I have no doubt bungie added them because of the maternity leave, but it's gonna be really hard to show in a court of law.

What a shit article. There's a massive amount of context missing.

7DTD is a game created by The Fun Pimps. Telltale Games bought the rights to produce a console port of the game from TFP. Telltale Games then contracted with Iron Galaxy to produce the port. Telltale Games went bankrupt and it's assets were liquidated, one of those assets was the rights to produce the console port. TFP managed to buy back the rights to the console port, but were unable to get any of the source code for the console port. It took years to get the rights sorted out, and it wasn't cheap.

It's a messed up situation, but console players bought a Playstation 4/XBox One game from Telltale Games, a company that went bankrupt and is defunct, and that sucks. TFP is now starting from scratch to produce a console port for the current generation of consoles and that costs money.

Sorry, no, absolutely not.

This should be a federal thing. No reasonable person should be debating if a person should receive life saving care or not.

Reasonable people can disagree with little things, like how high a fence can be in your front yard, not if someone should die because other people don’t have a modest grasp of high school biology.

Fun Fact: The more advertisers that pull out because they appear next to nazi shit increases the likelihood the remaining advertisers will appear next to nazi shit.

This is standard in *nix (Unix and Linux) operating systems

No, it very much isn't.

For anyone curious why one of the most progressive governors would do this......

It was a $35 cap on copays, not on the drug itself. Does not help the uninsured and the insured would just have higher rates instead.

CA is literally going to produce their own insulin, $30. No insurance, no bullshit.

Gonna be real honest here, there’s no 'debate' to be had here. Anyone thinking there is a debate to be had here probably has ulterior motives and is being disingenuous.

No one should normalize this 'debate'.

I can’t fathom how anyone, besides a bigot, would want a mod to remove an option, that they are free to not choose, from a video game. It's like a mod for BG3 that removes the wizard class from character creation because you don't want to play a wizard.

The people who don’t care for choosing pronouns, chose one just fine. They didn’t quit the game during character creation and look for a mod to remove a choice, that they were free to not choose.

JFC.

The author is saying if we use tidal energy to cover 1% of our total energy usage AND if we assume our energy usage will increase exponentially year by year, after 1000 years we’ll stop the earth spinning.

No shit.

If we sap an exponentially growing amount of energy from the earth’s inertia, at some point in the future it will stop because the amount of energy feeding into the system (sun) is relatively fixed in value.

If I was to bet, this paper was tongue in cheek joke between the student and their instructor.

I believe it's $70 USD on PS5 not $80, However it's $60 on Steam and GoG for PC. Keep in mind PS5's, and consoles in general are sold at a loss and make up for it from game sales.

Wait for a sale.

The Series S is basically an X with a weaker GPU

If it was just a GPU difference, you'd be right it should be easy to just run it less pretty. But the memory limitations are the real issue. The X has 16 GB of memory and the S has 10 GB. And worse, the memory performance is drastically different. The X has 10 GB that runs at 560 GB/s and 6 that runs at 336 GB/s, where as the S has 8 GB at 224 GB/s and 2 GB at 56GB/s. (I did not miss a zero on the last value)

It sounds like BS to me. We’re asked to believe there is an alien civilization that is so advanced that it can travel the stars. So sure of their ability they would travel themselves. However they are also somehow incompetent enough that they crash a ship on our planet? So highly advanced we can’t even fathom how they could travel so far to us, but they don’t have redundant systems?

This is political theater and a distraction. I believe there is life out there, but it’s out there, really really, REALLY far away.
