That’s a huge assumption that he was ever there mentally.

I’m still thinking Vance would push Drumpf down the stairs within minutes if they won.

He was trying to nuke hurricanes, for instance.

To be fair, they did stop him from nuking things the last time he was in office.

It’s perfectly okay to have sympathy for those who have no means of escape.

That’s not who was expressing their desire to stay due to some belief that their deity has a duty to protect them.

Not heartless at all. If anything, they’re respecting the religious freedoms of these suicidal-death-cult members.

It might be valid, but there’s no way McD’s was harmed. Their customers sure got that price fixing damage passed onto them, though.

Before YouTube’s switch to “your going to watch 6 ads before the video starts, and you are going to like it,” schtick, I always enjoyed getting to skip the ad before they managed to tell me what the product even was.

At the rate these political hacks are going, students won’t be able to parse modern text.

I only care when a single individual or group picks all of the fruit from the public trees just so that they can sell it down the road and profit from it.

Nope, far charging works just fine, though you do have to be selective if you want video passthrough, since not all of them have that feature.

Apple devices also don’t always recognize that the cable is capable and will supposedly limit functionality for the data connection.

Keep them clean. There’s no more inherent rush than a regular connector, since the magnetic ones are just the same with a magnet holding them in place instead of friction.

Also, if they were to break, it’s far easier to replace them instead of the port on the phone. I recommend the ones that are just adapters and not the whole cables though, since they let you use the cables you already own.

Then there needs to be a copyright ownership agreement between the artist in the article and the artists’ whose work was used to train the AI…

I think the running conspiracy is that the platform is a psyop to get idiots to try doing idiotic things they wouldn’t otherwise get exposed to.

From what I’ve heard, the Chinese version of the app’s recommendations algorithm leans towards educational content instead of topics literally trying to tear at the seams of modern society.

Doesn’t that exceed political donation caps to PACs?

https://www.fec.gov/updates/fec-announces-2023-2024-campaign-cycle-contribution-limits/

The limit for contributions by individuals and nonmulticandidate PACs to national party committees has risen to $41,300, while the limit for individual and nonmulticandidate PAC contributions to each of the additional national party committee accounts has increased to $123,900 per year.

You are correct, I missed that it was still under speculation.

Pocketpair has a pretty good case against Nintendo here, I think, because other games have used these things before.

I know it was never actually released, but Scalebound had a mechanic that would have allowed a player to tell their dragon to perform a task, albeit, usually destructively.

Guild Wars 2 Added a mechanic years ago that let players traverse water and land by automatically a switching between mounts.

‘Releasing’ a creature into a 3d environment has been done by every minion-mancer class in an MMO since the dawn of the genre.

Looks like it’s over the game mechanics of ‘releasing a creature into a 3d environment and having it perform a contextual task’ & ‘having a rideable mount switch to a different rideable mount depending on terrain’

I don’t think either of these would work in the US, because you can’t protect game mechanics here, but I’m not sure about Japan’s take.

Edit: I missed that this was still under speculation at the time of the post:

Based on searching of Japanese patent databases, initial speculation is that these may include (but is not necessarily limited to) patents relating to game mechanics and gameplay features from Pokémon: Legends Arceus, and may include patents such as one for throwing and using Poké Balls in a 3D space (JP,2023-092953,A); and one for automatically switching between ride Pokémon as a player transitions between different terrain, such as between air and the ground (JP,2023-092954,A).
