10% of the US is millionaires and wealth is quite segregated by location so depending on where you grow up or live, it’s entirely possible to mostly only know rich people while most of the country lives paycheck to paycheck and a large amount of people can’t afford healthcare. It’s inequality again, yay
Just mentioning this because the thread itself and the person you responded about referred to the US. Not actually American myself.
Sure. You prefer quarters or nickles?
Interestingly enough, I’ve once been told it was bad that I said merry Christmas.
Context: I’m from a fairly irreligious country. Christmas has nothing to do with religion for me because our ancestors celebrated it long before the crusade and in our language it has nothing to do with Christ, we call it jõulud.
Anyway, my dad had a business in the US but his English was poor enough that when I was like 12 or 13, he asked me to send some emails to his clients for him. I did. This was in December. Next time he called, he said some client was furious because I either started or ended the email with Merry Christmas aaaand apparently it went to a Jewish family. Which I guess he knew beforehand but I did not and the didn’t know the email was from me, not him.
This would’ve been like late 00s.
That’d mostly a US thing I believe, ain’t no bank here leaving money on the table just because you paid using a credit card. Still gotta pay it back or pay interest.
Longest it’s taken has been 5 minutes for me. I’d be furious if it took a day, even an hour.
Most cars don’t show that. Here’s the fuel gauge from my backup car since my other car is in the middle of repairs
Not only do you have to know the size of the tank, you also have to account for fuel tank math being different from regular math. The needle isn’t linear. E.g in a lot of cars it doesn’t start dropping until you’re down at least like 5 liters. That’s because people start whining about fuel consumption otherwise (“I just filled up and it’s already dropping”) and similarly the last half or quarter seems to be bigger in some cars. Middle bit is worth the least.
I don’t think I’ve seen a car that actually shows the liters. Maybe once or twice. I’ve owned like 10 or 15 cars and driven many more.
It is labeling them properly though? In the US it’s called Lake America which is now the official American name for it. In the rest of the world it’s named Lake Ontario.
Thing is, it’s not unusual for bodies of water to have different names depending on where you’re from. What we call Läänemeri (Western Sea), the Germans call Ostsee (Eastern Sea). You likely know it as the Baltic Sea.
Yes because the last time their economy got screwed up in 2008, nothing happened in the rest of the world…
The entire world is interconnected through trade among other things. The US disappearing suddenly will fuck everything up, not as bad as China disappearing suddenly but still pretty bad
That’s what it is though? You can’t put opinions in news. Even if your opinion is correct.
Organic Maps is shady anyway. I hear good things about comaps, but haven’t actually used it for navigation because like every other FOSS app, it doesn’t have live traffic data
TBoGT was Luis, who was pretty much what VI’s male protag (Jason?) should’ve been. He actually had a personality other than just being the big badass guy.
I suspect the reason they haven’t had female protagonists before is just pure male defaultism rampant in the gaming industry. Gamers would’ve made a ton of noise in the past. Otherwise, a game with Catalina as the protagonist could’ve been really interesting.
I suspect two things:
The world will be more immersive and less soulless once we can actually navigate it. It’s also the first time there’s been a swamp in GTA which is cool.
Lucia will be by far the better protagonist. The other one seems poorly written and with a voice completely mismatching the character model. I think Lucia will have more depth and her voice is more pleasant.
This game is what’s finally going to push me upgrade my 3060Ti in a few years but… I’m not exactly hopeful on there being anything to upgrade to. Would prefer to skip nvidia and amd has decided to abandon the high end market but if I’m upgrading, I’d like to go up a tier or two, not just a few generations. I want to be blown away by the card that’s going to have to last me the next 5-10 years.
I’m also guessing there won’t be a new GPU generation out next year.
RDR1 was a special case, San Diego didn’t port their previous few games either which is why we don’t have Midnight Club LA on PC for example.
GTA is too big. It’s guaranteed extra sales for a game they already have. Same with RDR2, it was heaps more popular than the first (which itself was more popular than expected I guess) so leaving it console exclusive was never really on the table.
He’ll even bring his own mega Dutch oven to do it in. The white house
Oh shit, wrong kind of Dutch oven
You do realize that there are many governments spending less on healthcare than the US that do have universal healthcare, right? And I mean that as a percent of GDP rather than a flat figure per person and that’s NOT counting insurance and out of pocket spending for the US. The US government already spends a fucktonne of money on it.
You don’t need to increase taxes significantly to pay for it. Might not need to do it at all. A neat side effect of poor people having access to healthcare is that they’re healthier and can work, meaning they also pay tax.
So what are you supposed to do, have a recurring alarm clock every hour?
The good news is that there’s nothing stopping us from starting a competitor. Nvidia probably wants to use it to push their graphics cards.
Because the authors may want to take down their models or change the datasets after the fact probably.
Not that it removes from users computers, but at least the primary source can be made unavailable at will
