Choina Number Huang?

He’s still going to end up with more money than any person should ever have access to through a whole lifetime.

It seems to very much depend on where you are. I have yet to hear literally anyone irl complain about use of the word retarded, when refering to an action. Either way, the meaning of the word is only going to change when people actively use it. It’s not going to change if we decide to stick with the “bad” version of the meaning and making it taboo.

I think it has a very legitimate use, when used as a describing word about actions, instead of a way to mock handicapped people. And I think it’s a shame to completely dismiss a word that has a very nice length and prononciation for saying things in anger. It could just as easily be co-opted to mean something different that doesn’t mock handicapped people. There’s just not a better fitting word for many situations, since “stupid” just doesn’t cut it.

Basically, I find it okay to use it when refering to actions like “Elon has done some retarded shit”. In such a case it isn’t used to mock handicapped people, which is never okay no matter what word you use anyway.

I can live with that compromise. Kg price for sending shit to space is high.

Hilarious prank though. Send him into space, and then “accidentally” forget some of the heatshield.

Easy, just tell the AI to change the harddrive!

My wife had a Samsung laptop with a touch screen like 10 years ago. Big woop.

Precision seemingly doesn’t really matter if the design is shit.

Where do you get the idea that these aren’t for war?

Why else would the Department of War (Formerly Defence) have dumped $123m into the company over the last 18 years?

I guess some people see a difference between using them to hunt poor brown people in the middle east, and using them to hunt down poor brown people (or better yet, protestets enemies of the state) in USA.

Clearly these and the humanoid robot, were always just going to be used as machines of war, wether it be domestically or internationally.

Also paying to wait for the game to start.

Would also be a hell of an incentive for games to fill games with useless filler bullshit that takes time, just because.

Sounds like something a hosting service would say.

It’s been a thing here for a few years. You scan the barcode with your phone, put it in your bag, net, suitcase, whatever, and then just scan a qr code on your way out and pay with whatever payment you want. I started using it while waiting in line at a checkout, and managed to set up the app, verify my age, set up payment option, scan everything, and pack it, before the 3 people in front of me were done.

I quite like self checkout, because I am quite a bit faster at scanning my own stuff, than the old as shit people in front of me, who need to find exact cash, and need to read the entire receipt before moving, so they can complain to the cashier that they paid €0,1 too much for their carrots. Even better is mobile checkout though, so I can just scan whatever I need on my way through the shop and pay while walking out.

I could see this helping construction workers take part of the load off of their bones. I’ve seen so many people with fucked up bodies, from running up and down roofs with heavy equipment and materials. Something like this would be great.

It wouldn’t really even need a massive battery. You could easily fit a bunch of batteries in the work van, and just swap them hourly or whatever.

Ignoring the better driving comfort of an ev, which is valuable on its own, it’s still much cheaper to charge on the go, than buying gas.

Yea, seems to be going the right way.

Cautiously optimistic, but this can really go both ways in terms of quality. No doubt Dragonwilds was mostly a trial run, to see wether or not they could work with unreal engine and 3rd person perspective.

I guess it’ll depend on the direction, will they go the OSRS way of community input, or the RS3 way of microtransactions on everything.
