I think the whole "millions of dollars" thing is a disingenuous attempt to make it look like you're punching up. It's pretty clear you'd feel exactly the same way if he got paid nothing at all.
I was rather surprised to find out Iron Man is now a black female teenager. I've never read print comics, so I can only guess that it's as stupid as my imagination suggests.
I have no idea why one would pay four bucks per comic book when you can read stuff like 'Kill Six Billion Demons' and 'Digger' for free.
I'm not an expert in emp, but I'd imagine robots are easy to harden against anything sub-nuclear.
As for arming these, I'd worry more about wal-mart level drones with dynamite strapped to them. I'm frankly astonished it hasn't happened yet. Or has it and no one reported on it?
Yes, I was going by what the person who introduced me to muds told me. Wikipedia clearly says they were actually based on...teaching software. Kind of odd, but ok.
I know Batmud got into Steam greenlight before Valve discontinued submissions. As far as I know they're fairly close to completing the process.
As for graphical games and Wow, I don't recall them hurting the userbase much. The userbase on Bat was growing even after Wow had been out for a while. What precipitated a decline was a) there being tens of thousands of games that work on any hardware now, and b) logging in and being killed three rooms from the entrance by an event monster is a proud legacy of Muds, but also not a great way to attract new players.
I've heard everything from Dungeon to Domain to Database. As I'm fairly sure they evolved from database software, I'd tend to give more credence to the latter.
Although these look like a ripoff, I preordered some for my Mom. She's declining and can't really manage to use our existing soundbar. She's obsessed with the newsy loop, watches it over and over again, and some of the clips are 20db louder than others.
Clearly since the clauses exist and are apparently being defended something is going on here, but how is that possible? Fast food work is only a couple rungs up from the bottom. I would have guessed that there's no meaningful gains to be had by pursuing lateral mobility. Given the managers are exploited even more than the hourly types, well, I must be ignorant of something.
I'll go out on a limb here and state that this is not the best congress to appeal to for protections of civil liberties. I suppose it's less bad than the Bush 2 era, but still.
I know an episode of Bullshit! talked about it briefly. They had a piece on "longevity spas" that dispensed growth hormone and transfusions. Long ago I read that such spas did not improve lifespan...but did improve things like muscle tone, so possibly they improve quality of life. I haven't read up on it recently since I assumed it was an abandoned avenue of research.
As for that particular episode of Bullshit!, frankly it was a crap episode that perpetuated lies of its own. For instance they claimed that cryonics involves dunking people in liquid nitrogen and later thawing them.
I have no real objection to your second paragraph, but your first seems unlikely. The near future contains no such tech that can be maintained by small numbers of people. Look at the stuff you'd put into, say, a burger flipping robot. You need lots of different raw materials, most of them must be highly purified, and then combined using various chemistry and alloying techniques. Barring the creation of universal constructor, it ain't happening without vast amounts of reliable infrastructure.
I guess I'm crossing examples, but try watching a PHD chemist on youtube try to synthesize ONE drug without using reagent grade precursors.
I've read that fireworks are a common problem for people suffering from PTSD and that they make many veterans quite miserable. Maybe this thinking was involved.
They found a picture of buildings which they then cropped. A key point is that they were using it AS a picture of buildings, not as art.
Also they made no money from it and took it down upon request. That doesn't influence the copyright on the photo, but it establishes who the actual douchebag is. Or it establishes good faith if you want to use the term.
I'm more interested in knowing if it's illegal to ever take the "same" photo.
I'm somewhat sleep deprived, am I correct in reading that this implies it would lower almost anyone's blood sugar levels slightly for the long term? My understanding is that lowering average blood sugar levels slightly is significantly beneficial to overall health.
Are you sure about them not knowing my credit rating? Almost all of mine offer FICO rating at a click. Am I misunderstanding what that implies?
I do NOT trust the 22% argument. Firstly, think about how aggressively credit card companies push balance transfer offers. Credit card companies aggressively court customers who literally can't pay off their credit card bills. Does the 22% thing sound plausible in that light?
Secondly, where is this 22% coming from? Are these people established customers who lost all self control? I think it's far more likely the 22% is reckless folks who are opening nine cards in a month and dumping it all into a high risk "investment."
Call bitcoin purchases a cash advance, which generally limits one to half their allowed credit line and incurs interest from day one? Fine with me. Ban new cardholders from said cash advances? Fine with me. Ban an established and reliable customer with a high tier card? It's ridiculous. Somehow, someway, there is a motive here beyond "risk management."

I want to get a robot girlfriend for similar reasons.

If I'm reading it right, that photo is of a region 1,000 light years across, compared to a galactic width of about 100,000 light years.

Sure, but I was imagining video of crowds walking down a street with superimposed emojis.
Officer Wilkins, we a group of hoodies that are up to no good. Just look at this: >:) :-3
Facial optical character recognition? So, what, it turns your expression into emoji?
That actually sounds pretty cool.

Blow it out your ear. My filter bubble is not your filter bubble.
A citation would be much appreciated. This kind of thing is important to me.

Huh, I didn't know Thiel backed longevity research. I'm quite astonished to discover he has a trait I admire.

I gather the judge disagrees with you.

You gotta help me. I thought I was investing in Groupon.

No one picks on my little brother but me!
