I hate this excuse because it’s so incredibly easy to keep records without keeping the account itself active. I work in healthcare and we have to do shit like this all the time with archiving patients records into an offline storage and then destroying their “hot” accounts to comply with two different incompatible laws.
36% of all gamers are 18-34.
25% of all gamers are 35-54.
As of right now, 25-34 year olds average 37 minutes per day of video games (4.3 hours per week). 35-44 averages 21 minutes per day (2.45 hours per week).
These averages are more interesting when peering into the breakdown by age group. (Removing people who don’t play at all by age) to show in 30-39 year olds 67% playing games between 1 and 20 hours per week. 76% of those 18-29.

Good thing °R and °RA aren’t pointing guns at each other
Neither are °F and °R nor °K and °C
This is almost artfully done
Several spices, roots, and herbs are native to those regions and have been used for centuries. Combinations of these spices can trigger similar nerve bundles that capsaicin from American peppers does (more easily)
Sichuan peppercorns are native to china and have been used in their cuisine since at least the 16th century
Ginger is native to maritime Southeast Asia and has been used in food for at least 5000 years since the early austroneaseans
Wasabi is native to Japan and Eastern Russia and has been used in their cuisine since the 8th century AD
Cassia cinnamon (hot cinnamon) is native to china. “True cinnamon” is native to Sri Lanka. Saigon cinnamon is native to Vietnam. All three have been imported from their native lands since at least 3000BC to Egypt and other African regions.
Mustard is native to India originally cultivated by the Indus civilization in 2500 BC. It’s a relative of wasabi after all.
Curry leaf from the curry tree is also native to India and Asia and has been part of their cuisine for millennia.
Put all these ingredients in a stew with zero chilies and I guarantee it’s going to burn through the roof of your mouth, your tongue, and your lips all at the same time.
Capsaicin is popular in modern versions of these dishes because it is cheap due to being easily cultivated and achieves spiciness without needing to cook the food for an entire day. But old world versions of many traditional dishes were still just as spicy.
It’s a recent development. First the LiDAR manufacturer leaked that they sold them to Tesla. Then several teslas had been spotted with LiDAR rigged on to their roofs. Then in a lawsuit an engineer admitted they’re training fsd with LiDAR

Waymo doesn’t give a shit if their cars are ugly and can cover them in dozens upon dozens of cameras and sensors. They’re not selling them to consumers who care about looks, they are renting them to riders who don’t want to die on the short trip. They also only operate in a small region of the country with limited weather conditions and frequently stop service when weather is bad.
Tesla is run by an idiot who insists that a pair of cameras and a single lidar sensor that they keep deciding to disable can somehow magically always work in all weather and lighting conditions and is selling to consumers who don’t want an ugly car and expect to be able to operate their purchase at all times
Different constraints leads to different levels of success
I saw FFDI. Not much better.
Ehh. I fit myself, my wife, my kid, my dog, and a cooler and 2 surf boards on a golf cart and I can park it without needing to lock it up somewhere. A cargo bike that big easily costs 2-5x more than a golf cart. Realistically I’d actually need two cargo bikes to haul that much.
A single golf cart can hold 2-6 people plus cargo depending on the model. They fill the car niche better than the bike niche but at a ridiculously low price point if you aren’t getting fancy.
A lot of California is like this. I lived in San Diego and most homeowners had a golf cart. It’s actually really nice to use for groceries shopping and hauling coolers, surf boards, and small boats to the beach without using any gasoline. They are basically ultra light EVs.
Cali lets you register golf carts for the road as a non-highway vehicle. So you can putter around your local neighborhood but not any further. They actually reduce highway congestion and parking congestion since you can park 5 of them in a street parking space that holds only 2 cars.
I have no issues reading in general but I still have this experience. Like I read the entire goblet of fire in one sitting without sleeping or eating (my mom still talks about how much this freaked her out to this day) but simultaneously I have this issue all the time now as an adult when reading technical white papers for my job. Halfway in I suddenly realize I didn’t actually read the last several paragraphs.
Yeah it turns out that Airbnb hosts behave much more like hivemind landlords than business owners. They all wind eachother up to behave the same in their forums and chatrooms. The advice on how to operate comes from other greedy reactive people and not from like consultants and data mining and people with degrees in their own field like it does with hotels and large businesses.
Airbnb hosts are “school of hard knocks” TikTok and Instagram advice listening get rich quick schemers who put minimal investment into quality.
Both groups are enshittfying their industries. But the downward slope is much steeper in airbnbs than it is in hotels.
This example is a sellers agent and not a buyers agent. Buyers agents are basically useless parasites. We did all the work ourselves hiring a lawyer and an inspector and finding and going to listings on Zillow and other platforms ourselves and then this mooch basically caused the house we bought to be 2.5% more expensive for what exactly?
Or location. New houses are still nowhere near anything at all and the oldest houses are deep in cities and other desirable areas.
Why UBI in a bubble with no housing reform is a fool’s errand
This will drive billions into refining the surveillance state. They now know they need genuine original human interaction and will do everything possible to capture everything from texts to cctv footage
Well they just keep building houses in the middle of the desert in Arizona nowhere near anything in particular hours drives from any jobs and other similar places nobody actually wants to live.
People keep confusing supply in general with supply where it is desired. Homes aren’t like gold. They don’t flow to where the people are to ease demand when a new mine is found. They are stuck where they are built. If you build a bunch of them in the desert, it does literally nothing to the demand in New York or Boston or any other city.
If anything, it actually contributes to rising costs because those workers, supplies, and capital that went to building these useless houses were not being used to build houses and condos where they are wanted or needed
It’s honestly way more about plant diversity. There are a million different plants in like a ten square mile area that all look exactly like an aloe and are related. The only way to differentiate them is by hyper obscure differences like their root structure and what their sap consists of.
You don’t even need to be in the proper tropics. Walk around San Diego with a plant id app and watch it spit out a different name for the same palm tree over and over because there are actually hundreds of varietals of palm with similar extremely complex identification processes. Some with toxic fruit and some with edible fruit that look the same.
Opsgenie and PagerDuty let you add them as contacts from within the app and it manages the rotating numbers for you so you can keep using a specific ringtone for them. This is also how they can override DND so you can go back to muting your phone at night and know that pages will still come in.
