because they raised so much in the kickstarter they added extra content to the game
But isn't that breaking the promise to the initial support group? Why not say, great! we can finish and add bonus content, later, or a sequel, whatever.
Maybe I am just bitter because I once worked at a start-up in the dot-bomb era when we had a product "ready to go" but got so much extra venture capital money we had to Eff it up to "raise the barriers to entry, for competitors"... and give the "hockey stick" growth-chart some extra "gravitas"...
Long story, short; "If you play with something long enough, you'll break it..."
As long as I have my right to not care. In the unlikely event I stumble upon your embarrassing "e-foible", I do not judge, and will soon forget. Unless you "protest too much", which might spark a memory...
This just means "free" programming will become even more unwatchable.
I rarely watch live broadcast TV, and the other day I saw a show that had crap all over the screen - network bug in one corner, what I guess is a "twitter hashtag" in another corner - random "tweets" popping up... if not that then a crawl on the screen advertising when some OTHER show will come on, etc. etc. Let alone the full-on commercials.
As everyone uses a recorder and skips ads, the networks will have no choice but to embed ads into the content even deeper, if that is possible.
Even for "free" I don't want it. I, like others, am "this close" to canceling the tv portion of my cable bill altogether.
Not Florida, alone, but technically, the Electoral College ballots aren't counted until early in January.
There is a bit more leeway than one would think, although the results, as they now stand are extremely unlikely to change.
Most states electors are bound by law if they don't vote the way they have been tasked, however, electors in the following ttates are not bound by Law to cast their vote for a specific candidate:

INDIANA
IOWA
KANSAS
KENTUCKY
LOUISIANA
MINNESOTA
MISSOURI
NEW HAMPSHIRE
NEW JERSEY
NEW YORK
NORTH DAKOTA
PENNSYLVANIA
RHODE ISLAND
SOUTH DAKOTA
TENNESSEE
TEXAS
UTAH
WEST VIRGINIA
Shouldn't the availability of such "end-of-life" drugs settle the "cruel and unusual" question in death penalty states? I mean if something like Propofol is so pleasant that it is the target of abuse, it should be perfectly fine for a pleasant, relaxing send off when a death row prisoner's time has come.
Bringing it back to "death with dignity", noone will force it, or even suggest it, but LWOP prisoners should also be offered the same option...
(lol - spell check on Propofol offers "Foolproof")
This BS episode is from 2006, but asks the same thing, but with the entertainment value of Penn & Teller to present the case that it is at least a good question.
Unfortunately, history shows that the public... will accept a lot of shit, especially if it is tracked into their living room one dirty shoe-full at a time. They only get upset if you ask them "would you like some crap on your carpet?". So, nobody is going to ask them.
Also wondering how carefully aligned one must park the car over the "charger". Would all car models have to have an identical physical "receiver"? You'll have a hard time getting every manufacturer to agree on that. You can't even get a common cell phone charger agreed on.
What to do...
Cash in the mattress? pfft! fiat money, not worth the paper it is printed on.
Gold? - bubble, you can't eat it.
Just have lots of kids! Think of the children. They are the future!
Everything comes down to an existential question. If you can't answer it, your heirs will.
First off, people need to know that being a legit cab in NYC costs a million bucks.
The referenced article argues that "hey it is a decent 5% return on your investment"... sounds like a typical wall street tout pumping a stock. A "5% return" on an investment wouldn't require you to work 8 hours a day to get it.
Based on complaints of availability, the denial to use modern apps, the spike in that graph of medallion licenses... something is going to "pop".
I have no idea what I am talking about. I live in California and get pissed off if the driveways to the acres-large parking lots I use are not conveniently aligned for my use...

Who needs foreign invaders? See Kelo...
Full, empty?
Children, prisoners, or old folks off to bingo?
What are you optimizing for? Lives saved, injuries avoided or ongoing governmental costs?
It is about 167,024 furlongs per fortnight
Be careful what you wish for...

People won't stop buying pizza.
People without jobs will cut back on pizza...
I don't want to die for any of the regular, boring reasons.

You insensitive CLOD! This is the exact same star that I purchased for my MOM! Please, don't make fun of her special, officially registered, star!
Depending on which state you live in, political affiliation is NOT a protected class.

I hope they put a switch on them, so you can turn them off, when not in use.
I was surprised, a couple of years back, when I measured how much power unused wall-warts added up to. And don't even get me started on VCRs...

Because the data would be in funny characters and the units would be in metric units and Americans would not understand it.
To be fair, AC could have been talking about a primitive core-dump. All that silverware might have magnetic properties.
You insensitive clod! Some of us don't have individual fingers OR facial expressions!
...or... they have google money to hire artists.
I, for one, am a nerd who appreciates what artists, managers, and, yes, even sales folks do to sell what I make.
Usually you get what you pay for. Sometimes you get less, sometimes you get more.
I can't be bothered to read anything on the topic. I must post something, now!
However, in order to seem relevant, I will post a link to something on the Internet, so that my post seems like a reasoned, researched, reply.
So... everything is a big "shell game"?

Yes, CmdrTaco is 1
A couple of minutes of fiddling around also reveals:
2=hemos
3=drendite
4=CowboyNeal
5=samzenpus
etc...
As far as uid 0, at least by the method I was using, is "whoever is asking".
