Yeah, but they were just a bunch of Monkees

I think music staring going downhill when music was no longer an audio only thing. Once bands were expected to make videos, posters, and "act" on stage, suddenly a lot of musicians had problems getting into the business. They want to make music, not become pseudo-actors.

What's happened is GTA Online suddenly switched to using BattlEye for it's anti-cheating. And this broke Steam Deck compatibility suddenly. Now, this is bad enough but reports state that BattlEye will work with the Steam Deck, and all Rockstar needs to do is just send a message to BattlEye and it'll just work. But Rockstar doesn't seem to be interested in sending that email.

That would be a part of Telsa, as it calls out Musk's actions there.

Hate speech doesn't get protected under free speech. These aren't the same.

Problem is, the knife can't be found. So all we have are the polices word that there was a knife.

I think you might be confusing cause and consequence: it's not that the Brits and Dutch can't eat that stuff because it all gets shipped to France as the prices are higher there, it's that because the Brits and Dutch are not eating that stuff the prices are lower in Britain and The Netherlands than in France (were they do eat that stuff) so it mostly gets shipped to France.

I think you're confused. You literally repeated what I said.

You don't see much organ meats in the Netherlands and the UK much because they are shipped to France where the price is high (and being a part of the EU, the isn't any extra taxes for that). It's market choices, not dietary, combined with they were never a huge desire for them there.

I never said that they can't, it's that they didn't normally so they ship it out which now prevents people from developing a taste for it as it now goes out for a higher price.

As for the other part of why Portugal keeps it, it's for a local market and the issues that deal with it. Think like most Asian nations won't ship out rice for a higher price on the open market.

I've been to the USA, I've seen dessert pizza.

It's also why you don't really see much chicken feet for sale, they are shipped to China where the price is high.

Excited MJ

Thank you so much for this. I got the code and game. You are so amazing for doing this.

I don't feel it is. They aren't saying that their physical requirements should be free (computers, engineers, programmers, electricity, etc...) which is what is being used for the analogy (cheese, ingredients, etc...).

It would be better to claim "I run a sandwich shop and couldn't afford to run it if I had to pay for every recipe, idea, and technique I use in the business."

Now, it's not as simple as this, and I'm not claiming it is. But this example isn't anywhere near correct. It's like the old claim that pirating something is the same as stealing it. The usage on one thing doesn't equal the loss of something physical.

It's one of those reasons why laws about this are difficult. Too strict and no one would be able to do "fan"-anything and many other issues ("if it uses AI" takes out many digital tools, etc...), too loose and you don't really have laws at all.
