Lithium as well, if I recall correctly. Most lithium is theorized to date to the big bang. There are no current pathways to create it, and only pathways that destroy it.
Most helium also dates to big bang, but some was created through fusion or alpha decay.
That reminds me…
In circa 1995 I was running a dial upBBS service – as a teenager. So if course, it was full of bootlegged video games and such, and people would dial in, download a game, log off.
Someone uploaded Descent or something like that. But they had put "deltree /y C:" or similar into a batch file, used a BAT2COM converter program, then a COM2EXE program, then padded the file size to approximately the right size with random crap (probably just using APPEND)… And uploaded it. Well, fortunately for the rest of my users, I say the game and said: oh, that’s neat, I should try it and copied it to another computer over my internal network and launched it. It started deleting files right away and I hit CTRL-C to abort. I lost only a few dozen files.
Banned the user, deleted the package. Got lucky.
Keep going, I’m almost there
I bet this is a falling out with Hasbro execs on royalties. BG3 royalties were a cash cow this year for Hasbro, pushing Wizards (as a division) to be quite profitable, while almost all other divisions in their company lost money.
So now the agreement is over, and Larian is like: we will own the IP on our next project instead of paying $90M to Hasbro… And fair enough – they’ve shown they can kick ass. Hasbro is probably gambling that it’s the IP that made the money, and not Larian being magic in a bottle as a developer. So they’ll kick tires on selling BG4 to another studio.
BG3 will go down in history as the legendary game before enshittification. Larian will make a few great games that don’t sell as well – before selling out to a whale that dumps money on the owner’s front lawn (see also BioWare). The devs who made BG3 will found indie studios and make cool shit for a decade or two. So the wheel turns.
Depends on the province. Health is provincial jurisdiction, so things will vary. In MB, the packages have the graphical warning on the packages, but the stores all look like this (no packages on display).
And losses in the inverter.
Looks very similar to Canada. Just different prices.
Fact: pineapple is great on pizza ;)
I also like adding bacon, but my arteries don’t like it as much ;)
Anyone who has read the books want to chime in? I read the books and they had a “painting in a museum” type quality to them, where each chapter was a well described static scene. Fun concepts (in particular, the Dark Forest concept), but really dry prose…
4D conspriacy theory: was actually killed by Airbus, because the negative press for Boeing will push the Airbus stock price up…
I feel bad for the guy. This is going to put a wet blanket on future whistleblowers, regardless of the actual cause.
I’m eating pineapple on pizza right now!
BBQ chicken, pineapple, green pepper, BBQ sauce base.
Somewhere in Italy, a collective groan was heard.
Malicious Corporate Compliance
I’ve met the devs in person. They keep turning down literal suitcases full of cash from people who want to bundle adware and crap in one of the most popular programs ever. Don’t assume VLC is going down that road – they’ve stuck to their ethics for decades.
Did you end up playing baseball or something later? Or winning a lot at the circus arcades? ;)
High speed refers to the shutter speed in a camera – how quickly it can take frames. Slow motion footage is taken in a high speed camera. It’s just a weird quirk of language.
KDE for years had a clock option called “fuzzy clock” where you could set the granularity of time, either in 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, or 60 minute resolution. So it would just say “five to six” or whatever in words. It was designed to keep you from clock watching while working. Not sure if it exists anymore :)
