Is that…?

And confiscate the documents you supplied for that passport renewal.

There’s a secondary problem.

If a user has money in their account and the app creator goes under, they lose access but the actual bank hasn’t failed. Insurance on the account doesn’t kick in because there’s no bank failure to mitigate, but the user still doesn’t have access to their money before.

These regulations weren’t written with banking-as-a-service in mind, and don’t hold up well now that it’s not a weird edge case but a primary way companies provide banking services.

This is fascinating!

AdNauseum!

Let me know when it does surgery on a grape 🍇

Going Under is so much fun!

Would you recommend any in particular? :)

I believe this is a Lara Croft reference

Sorry, wherever I saved this from had already cropped out the artist signature :(

Definitely No Man’s Sky

It was bad at launch, sure, but the expectations of the game were way outta proportion to what a game could deliver on

Accessibility. People who can’t grab or use an XBOX controller with their hands need to use custom controllers, including things like foot pedals.

Have some empathy. These aren’t oligarchs plotting a foreign war, these are everyday people (half the country!) being forced into poverty.

I spend all day at work with a keyboard and mouse, so I try to use a controller for absolutely everything else

It still means they’re selling your info to advertisers

Immediately after, every single ISP in my area introduced “data caps”. If I use more than 1TB of total data in a month, they charge exorbitant fees. Fortunately, you can pay to remove these caps! …for nearly twice the monthly price.

Rogue Legacy! You are a knight invading an evil wizard’s castle. When you die, your children take up your mantle and try again.

Dying means you get to try again with a descendant that has different quirks, like “being left-handed” or “dwarfism”

Good. They should cry.

I recommend looking at the summary on Wikipedia. See the “Response” and “Publication History” sections: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LK-99#Publication_history

Similar research has been falsified, the third author of this paper left the university months ago, some authors filed patents on the material years in advance, and the underlying mechanisms haven’t been thoroughly explained.

However, they presented it in a way that is EXTREMELY straightforward to reproduce. There’s even a live stream on Twitch of someone working on it: https://www.twitch.tv/andrewmccalip So I doubt they’d make a claim that large when it’s so easy to disprove, and we’ll know for sure in a matter of days, most likely.

Oregano?
