I swear lately they're pushing bad updates on purpose.

Want to mass remove that bad update? We can help with that ... for money

Yeah, when I need to use a reload it's usually cause shit hit the fan. But ammo isn't that hard to find it anything.

That quasar cool down is going to hurt for drop ships though

And they're sort of nerfing the sickle, down to 3 mags from 6... Still basically infinite ammo if you don't overheat though.

Yeah, well they should keep it up. If they can prove in a US court that a "website is bad" they can make the same argument in the jurisdiction the website is hosted in, the Internet is great because it's not (mostly) stuck under a single country's thumb

If it's that big a deal go after the service providers for the servers, this type of shit just makes inhibiting free speech easier.

If I don't want people using Truth Social I guess making a bunch of accounts to share torrent links would be enough to shut it down?

The MPAA still has never been able to demonstrate that privacy even has actual impacts on movie and ticket sales... When Netflix was super convenient and had a lot of content piracy went down. Turns out splitting to dozens of streaming services made it difficult enough that people just went back to sailing the high seas. So lower your prices, make it more convenient to pay for services and people will just do that instead.

Let's not pretend that custom plates are "expensive" on the scale of vehicles. They're usually pretty cheap, in fact those smokey the bear ones cost a whopping $40 extra. You aren't getting a fancier truck or car for $40.

Tesla you just push a button on the stick like any other car. What monster puts that only behind a submenu

That's my problem with this, an entry level table saw from skil or whatever is a couple hundred bucks and lots of beginner woodworkers still have to save up for one. A table saw (IMHO) is kind of a barrier of entry into more serious projects (yes I know there are lots of other ways to make other tools function). If they don't come down in price then that's going to suck big time.

Sawstop is an interesting story. They made a great invention, but when no one wanted to license it they started suing companies and pushing for regulation changes, and supposedly have even rejected some companies who have wanted to license their technology (Grizzly). And of course, the infamous Bosch Reaxx lawsuit, where they succeeded in stopping Bosch from importing their version of a safe Table Saw.

Interesting read I found while looking into this more https://toolguyd.com/companies-allege-sawstop-refused-to-license-safety-tech/
