  • Yes because Russia isn’t always looking for justification for war.

    There are multiple countries in Eastern Europe that likely would no longer be independent without NATO. My own home among them.

    Neighbours that aren’t in an alliance seem to get invaded. Georgia first, now Ukraine twice.

    Russia always finds a genocide or whatever to justify military action. Both Georgia and Ukraine were mentioned as targets all the way back in 1997.

    On PC at least it was probably because of the requirements. It was pretty rough on PCs. Works better using Proton than it did with Windows Vista or 7, though you can compile dxvk or whatever for Windows too to make it better now. On consoles, you needed a 2 year old console rather than a 4 year old one so I suspect fewer people had them this early into the generation. Later on, you’d get GTA V on the same generation.






  • From a global warming perspective, I’m pretty sure fiber is actually the best because it requires less power than any sort of radio, particularly satellite (starlink or whatever). For wired alternatives, you have copper which is a very useful and expensive metal, which would be put to better use elsewhere. It’s great for transmitting electricity and heat, just not as great for data.

    Fiber optics are as close to magic as we can get in data transmission. There are very few downsides.

    Plus the data will be collected anyway. The guys running all the services you connect to have their own fiber. AWS and the like roll out their own intercontinental fiber even. The only question is whether American citizens would be entitled to high quality Internet service that they already paid for over 20 years ago or whether it’s time to forget all that and settle for less.


  • If she’s even real (could be a troll account), we have no idea what she’s talking about. Quick half hour or shorter shoot for your family after getting a new baby? A wedding lasting hell, maybe 5-6 hours or more? 300 bucks is way too much for the first option (assuming she has a studio and can just shoot 1.5 families an hour and then do the editing later) and probably about a fifth of what the second option should cost.
