My back pain is usually my hamstrings tensing and wrenching the fuck out of everything higher. More power might make that worse.

That would be good.

I'm not complaining about them improving the platform or trying to make developers more willing to do demos. But I also don't want demo spam clogging up my browsing in addition to all the free to play trash.

Servers being slow is usually fine. They're already at way lower clocks than consumer chips because almost all that matters is power efficiency.

The court heard that the Investigatory Powers Act 2016 allows law enforcement to obtain a TEI warrant for a single investigation or operation, such as the covert monitoring of the activities of an identified organised crime group. However, the lawyers argued that a TEI warrant could not be used to monitor all users of a particular messaging service. It was not enough, they said, that the targets for surveillance were using a common technology “incidental to their suspected criminality”.

I think this is their point. The additional links are walled, but the assertion it sounds to me like they're making is that the ruling authorized them to hack and surveil an entire platform, rather than based on probable cause against specific individuals.

And their manufacturing tolerances are insane.

Having everything made for 75 years or whatever fit together snugly and reliably is harder than a lot of people think.

BS generally has more math/algorithm requirements so you understand what your code is actually doing.

If they actually need that math knowledge expecting the BS is perfectly reasonable.

Demos will also appear across Steam in various places, acting as if they're a free game. So you can expect to see them in charts like New & Trending and across all the tags

That sounds incredibly obnoxious.

I was super interested in this game from the stuff I saw of it.

Then I saw in reviews that there were a bunch of real time gated things. I don't know the specific mechanics, but any version of that at all is unacceptable to me.

Even if we play make believe that they make any difference at all (they don't), it would still be unforgivable to install malware on someone's computer to prevent cheating in a computer game.

IDK. I think there's an argument either way. Boneless wings are clearly intended to be deboned, but they are also intended to be relatively minimally processed. I don't think the presence of bones is near as unexpected as it would be in a chicken nugget, for example. I've definitely had small bones in boneless wings plenty of times, and I think processing them to the level that you could provide a guarantee that there are no bones would significantly lower the "wing-ness" of the wings. I don't really think the occasional bit of bone or similar gristle is the product of negligence.

But choking on a chicken bone would suck.

I love it. Peppers and Dugger is a great duo that can play all over.
