American here, we don't use those dumb measurements over here. Cornish game hen, what a stupid name for a unit of measurement, probably named after a place in England.

That's roughly the equivalent of 500 Skittles, a standard unit of measurement.

I found Kentucky Ballistics after that incident and it's now one of the channels I look most forward to new uploads from. Always love seeing the big guns few people have even heard of and especially the collabs doing Kentucky Roulette.

That entire exploding rifle set of videos is insane.

Who knows, maybe you had 14 roommates and lived under the staircase like Harry Potter.

Yes, that's why many countries, like the US, haven't ratified the Rome Statute. They refuse to accept anything they don't control as having jurisdiction over their country or citizens.

Time to build a citronella, peppermint, cedar, lemongrass, lavender, catnip, and patchouli scented "moat" around your house. Not a real moat, stagnant water does the exact opposite.

Also note, it's the scent of some of these like citronella, not the plant itself they don't like. Just planting them won't do anything.

"He said ... 'If I just had another two months, I could get the money back,'" Mitchell told NBC News.

So the CEO was a gambling addict on top of being a clear idiot. How the fuck do these people fail their way into these positions and not get filtered out along the way?

I can understand why they don’t put a Linux-specific icon, because there is such a variety of builds and hardware permutations that people could start complaining “it said it could run on Linux but it doesn’t run on my Linux.“

Steam already indicates which games will run on Linux, without any distro or configuration caveats. There's literally an entire section of the store for "SteamOS & Linux" games, and games that support multiple platforms have the system requirements listed for each of those supported platforms.

We're just talking about putting the icon for the platform they used on the review, to help you filter reviews that may be more or less relevant. Linux users complaining about Linux related issues aren't relevant to Windows users for instance, and vice versa. Same goes for the 15 or so MacOS gamers I guess too.

At least they have the decency to keep their shit behind closed doors.

I'll believe it when I see it. These claims always end up being full of shit somehow. 190,000 of those hours will have been the tutorial area or some shit.

I've been saying for years that fines for these issues need to be based on revenue, not profit, and tripled. Unless they're selling their products for a 300% profit margin, they still lose money because of the bullshit. Anything else can still be justified as a cost of business.

I was referring more to just like Windows, Linux, MacOS icons. Not specific distros. As a Windows user for instance, Linux issues from any distro probably don't matter to me.

Just have another option for multiple devices or types used beyond a certain threshold. Just like here they're using a majority of time spent playing on a Deck to show that icon.

 

NASA and Boeing officials pushed back Friday on headlines that the commercial Starliner crew capsule is stranded at the International Space Station but said they need more time to analyze data before formally clearing the spacecraft for undocking and reentry.
