"The Jay-Z allegation once again reveals a culture of impunity in [the wealthy]"

Fixed it for you.

Meta gave the donation, not Zuck personally? Somehow that seems extra sleezy. Not only a payoff, but using someone else's money to do it.

When in doubt, bricklink.com will have anything, just a matter of what the price will be

Fair point. Even music has been turned into a continuous revenue model.

I don't know a single investor that would not like a game studio that said "we have a massive back catalog of IP that is raking in cash with nearly no additional development or maintenance cost. We'll try to keep making new games to keep the IP fresh and see if we hit it big again, but in the meantime, enjoy the money printing machine back catalog".

It's basically what Disney does at this point.

And, for that matter, record/music labels. Most records labels lose money on the majority of new artists they sign. It's the 1-in-10 that break even and 1-1000 that go big and the 1-in-10,000 that fill out huge back catalog they just keep milking.

Sheesh. That is crazy. I grew up in evangelical churches in the southern USA and that's a new one to me.

What do you mean? Like this one? Do please educate us if you know better.

They didn't live in a world saturated in sugar. It was a very rare treat.

Also, depends on the ages here. A lot of 4 year olds can still be kept busy for a while by something like that. ...If they haven't been handed an iPad since they were 9 months old anyway.

Your explanation says that a post with 100k actually has 20k. What this guy is saying is that it does actually have 100k.

Only the wealthy can own property...

I've loved the Samsung Active series. Practically bulletproof with a remarkably good pressure sensitive stylus and good overall specs. And not too huge

It's just not practical. As a family of 4, there is way too much password sharing that has to go on, especially between my wife and I. It's easy enough to shoot 2FA codes back and forth, but relying on a physical key would make it impossible to log in to all the places that don't support multiple users accessing the same account. Banks, credit cards, utility bills, etc ... Tons of places should support that but don't.

 

The expansion is based on internationally established definitions of the continental shelf, and comes from research and surveys conducted by various groups going back to 2003, confirming where the continental shelf actually is.

Interestingly, this doesn't include the water column above this territory, so it doesn't mean control of fishing or shipping lanes. Only seabed/underground mineral/drilling/pipelines control. Depending on policy and which political party is in control at the time, this could mean preventing others from drilling these areas, or (more likely?) making a profit off allowing drilling here.

Most of the addition is in the Arctic, but includes territory around the whole country.

Scored some free tickets from a friend. First time back in the building in more than a year. Even if it is 'just' preseason. Good to be back.

What's the word on Preds TV packages? did Bally die yet? can't find any updates since the bankruptcy filing in the spring

I'd love a better option than the $20+ /mo direct subscription, and I don't want to sail the seven seas.

 

Either in a client (I've been using Jeroba) or in my Lemmy profile. I'd love to be able to block words I don't want to see stuff about... Like trying to avoid spoilers for movies, or just wanting to avoid mentions of certain people, but without blocking entire communities.
