Guess Epstein should’ve gotten himself an island in Nigeria instead

My windows didn’t smell like orange so i tried this and it just worked. Not sure why you mention grimy spots though.

Great example of how a straight line on our round marble is not a straight line on our marcator projection maps and vice versa.

Do you do requests?

I believe we are in dire need of more oblique cylindrical and polyhedral projections. Too many maps are for when you want to go somewhere by plane/ship/car, but I don’t have any of those so I couldn’t care less how useful they are for navigation.

I’d like a bit of rotacrem please

Just in: fifa doubles the double points for the US. O ehm, and -1 if you play against the US. Also red cards for everybody who’s not the US. Also free Fifa World Peace Price if you are president of the US. Go USA!

If I were going to make an argument for pre-ordering digital games, the only one I can think of is basically that you can pre-download the game

Sure but that leaves no valid reason to pre-order a few months before launch, instead of a few days.

A transferable licence on a hard copy definitely beats a non-transferable digital license for sure, but for any online game being able to play is obviously not only related to your local hardware and copy. We’re definitely going down a shitty road, but it’s not like we’re not already on it.

Highest price is not necessarily most best for profit. They likely calculated that selling it for 70 or 90 means less profit then selling it for 80.

If consoles didn’t give them a sweetheart deal we would see a PC release day 1.

There could be other reasons for that though (although i wouldn’t be surprised if you’re right)

If it is yes, but afaik they won’t do that for gta

Even if your IQ < 1 those are solid arguments.

the planet is humans are really fucked

No but it’s still unsettling. Compared to the man in the pic i am feeling very well, but still.

Not to be that guy, and i know they’re doing much worse, but i want to say i personally feel this deserves an nsfw tag for violence.

Breaking! Something somebody said almost 3 years ago.

I’m currently experimenting giving up on trying to get your shit together, it’s quite a good life but it’s still really hard not to make choices that have undesirable effects. Especially if those choices have desirable effects in the short term. Speaking about short term gratification, i should really put away my phone and go to sleep.

There are many people who tried to compare current day wealth to the wealth of historic figures. Those are, afaik, never about hard facts but a way of translating an estimation. This article names 8 trillionaires for example. They give ganghis kahn an estimated $120 trillion, and consider mensa musa so much richer they call his wealth uncrompihensible. You can find similar lists online, i guess the same names will take a similar spot on the ranking, but the numbers will differ. They tend to look at relative wealth (they estimate that Elon Musk has xx % of all money globally and compare that to the estimated percentage of global wealth of a historic figure and translate that to a current day value).

I think you were right about opposition being strongest in the capital My experience is big cities are more pro-european in general and rural villages generally more ‘pro-region’, I don’t know about Hungary in particular but i wouldn’t be surprised if that were true there too, not just since Orbán left but also in 2022 2021
