He bankrupted a casino, but still was paid millions to do so.

He will bankrupt the US, but is being paid billions to do so.

The shift will happen when the user can’t tell the difference.

The grocery store? Ehhhhhhhhh. Nah.

If my banks services were seamlessly replaced by a cheaper, faster crypto service then I would not complain.

The pairing of glasses and wristband is, in short, a stalker’s dream.

Ha. The buyer thinks they are the stalker

How would they get him out of the building?

They should do a Nikola Tesla and transmit electricity wirelessly

PlayStation and switch don’t have a 60% market share.

EDIT: the comment above was completely inoffensive. This sort of censorship is a slippery slope.

Sure, block an annoying individual for yourself, but don’t impose that block on everyone.

anyone else is free to make their own phone

But that would involve taking the bag off.

Both are old, bearded, and project a friendly, wise-grandfather image.

Both lead a closed community with strict hierarchies.

Both have elf slave labor.

Both run surveillance operations: Dumbledore has the portraits, Fawkes, the Marauder’s Map (by proxy), and Santa has the Naughty-or-Nice list.

Both maintain a mystique that disguises how much control they actually wield.

However, I still think Santa is more likely to be evil.

Yet I bet you don’t consider the face to be the natural place to receive ejaculate.

It should be more transactional.

Vendi, vidi, veni

Santa has an ethnicly homogenous slave workforce trapped in a secret location facing sub-zero work conditions and runs a global child surveillance system supporting an opaque punishment algorithm.

There is no way he’s a good guy.

Actually, I was thinking volcanos. They can reduce sunlight over a large area for prolonged periods.

Pumping 1500L of water up into a tower doesn’t seem difficult or expensive.

To be fully self sufficient you have to meet your energy consumption during the most cloudy days in winter.

2 days storage gives you a 5% chance of a blackout at some point during the year.

4 days storage gives you a 1% chance of a blackout at some point during the year.

You will not get to 0%.

For a AAA game Unreal 5 seems like a reasonable choice for an engine because you have access to Epic Games devs.
