I don’t disagree that a true space exploration game should have barren planets (I’d imagine most planets in the universe are barren), but they should be more like set pieces (like how a tree is a set piece in a normal exploration game). And they shouldn’t be included in metrics used to quantify the size of the world.

It’s not insinuating that at all, in fact the article is pretty clear that this isn’t some sign of things to come, it’s pretty much only because OPEC and the US have been increasing supply of oil even though demand has been fairly stagnate or dropping. OPEC usually will slow production when prices get too low so there’s a good chance prices will start going back up again soon. The only reason this would be sustainable is if they chose to continue this level of production which they’d only do if they felt it could benefit them long term (for example if they think lower gas prices will prevent an increase in EV purchases, which is possible but not likely at this point).

This article is about a 19% drop in the last 2 months. Alternative energy methods didn’t increase in popularity/use enough in the last 2 months to cause that much of a drop. The article uses a decent amount of actual data analysis and sources and shows a pretty clear causality between the growth of supply and the stagnation of demand that led to the price drop.
Renewable energy has definitely led to an overall drop in price over the last 15 years but it wouldn’t cause a drop this drastic without a huge increase in use or improvement in technology.

The OL injuries showed more and more as the game went on. Even though his stats weren’t amazing, I though Levis still looked good. Obviously still has a lot to learn, but that was expected.

For what it’s worth, I wish I had this feature on my garage fridge. It’s getting older and sometimes the door just doesn’t close all the way. Because of the way my house is laid out, you can only hear the beep if you’re in the kitchen (and even then it’s not very clear) so it might sit open for hours before being noticed. Granted, this feature is definitely not worth buying a smart fridge and I probably wouldn’t want one in my garage, but I wish I had something to fix that problem.

If there’s prior work already using the technology, the patent would be invalidated. Parents are supposed to be used for innovations. Companies often patent things they shouldn’t, but if it gets challenged in court, it usually shakes out (although not always, especially since it can be expensive to challenge it).

It sucks that with how both offenses are playing, that unlucky INT could be the difference. We’ll just have to try to pull off an extra stop or get a turnover of our own.

Gamer can wait until the day a good game comes out, a company needs hype to build it's brand for stock holders.
This is absolutely not true, gamers freak out whenever a game is delayed, even for good reason. And people were absolutely causing a huge fuss about whether or not there was going to be an ES6 so they released a teaser to say that it was coming eventually.
The shareholders would only want them to release the teaser if the goal was the sell stock immediately. Any bump in price from the teaser would even out after probably just a few months.

For what it’s worth, you can’t use public domain to make a copy of someone else’s take on that public domain character. It’s like how Winnie the Pooh is public domain but you can’t make a Winnie the Pooh with a red shirt and no pants since thats clearly Disney’s version which isn’t public domain.

For what it’s worth, it’s almost never worth it to give any company “the benefit of the doubt”. For single player games, there’s pretty much no reason to play it right when it releases unless you’re impatient. I choose to think of the games release date as a beta release. If I’m super excited, I may choose to play a game in beta but usually I’ll wait for the final release. Then when all the initial issues (which all games have, just some way more than others) have been fixed, I’ll consider the game actually released and buy it for a fraction of the initial cost.
I don’t know that I’ve played a single game that’s released this year yet. And those games will still be just as good next year (likely better) for less cost.

There are rules about attending practices in person or using electronic devices to aid in sign stealing. But if you just notice your opponent using a specific sign and it correlating certain plays or schemes, that’s just part of the game. It’s a team’s responsibility to obfuscate their signs, otherwise why use signs at all? If you weren’t allowed to see what the sideline is signaling to the players, just hold the play name up on a card, then you could save time teaching kids the signals.
I’m guessing the investigation is more to make sure they didn’t use one of the outlawed methods, and I’m willing to bet they didn’t and just got pretty good at figuring out signs. Or are just good enough that teams think that’s what they’re doing.

Would you prefer they recast and re-record over his voice so the family didn’t get any royalties and his name is less well-known? It’s not hard to make regulations that you need consent from next of kin and have to pay to use the “likeness” of their voice like you do with appearance. Refusing to use new technology because someone might misuse it before regulations are in place are what luddites do

I don’t have a dog in this fight (heh) but no one arguing the other side has presented any evidence either. In my anecdotal evidence, it’s seems more that certain breeds are more powerful, so when they’re improperly trained, they cause more damage so they get more headlines
Also, those breeds attract a certain type of owner that either don’t train them or train them to be aggressive.

Well the mechanical inscentive is the time and money it takes to revive them. It’s pretty negligible eventually, but it’s a pretty big deal at low levels.
They’ve also activated him to the 53-man roster, but plan to have him on a snap count this week.

Yeah this headline should really just say the ~$41m they actually spent improving the game because that’s still an incredibly impressive number (2/3 the amount of a full expansion). I hate when there’s a good story to tell but they want to make it look even better so they decide to mislead instead of just saying the actually impressive thing

I think this is worse than missed draft picks (especially guys that by all rights should’ve been at least decent) because they already knew exactly what kind of player he was and still traded what they knew would be a high second for him. People were calling it a bad trade immediately and it only got worse from there.
TheAndrewBrown 12 months ago • 100%
I think you’re totally right, but that means they traded essentially a first round pick for something that was such a negative they wanted to get rid of it for literally anything
So the Bears get essentially nothing for him after using the 32nd pick in the last draft to get him. All time blunder. Also, it’s crazy how much Claypool has wasted his potential and the chances he’s been given.

I definitely don’t want him fired or anything but they picked a really awkward time to do this after that total collapse last week.
Gallaudet and dead/HoH players once again breed innovation for football. For those that don’t know, they developed the first huddle since opposing teams were learning ASL to see what plays they were calling.

I sorta loaded this picture in my brain like pictures used to load on slow internet - from the top down. So I saw the arms and the small face and thought it was one sloth looking through its back legs as it hung. So then I continued to load the rest of the picture and when I saw the big face, I tried to make that fit with my earlier interpretation so, for half a second, I thought that sloth had a face for an asshole

Personally I’ve never liked the idea of NSFL. It just doesn’t feel like it has the eighth connotation, it’s wording feels like it’s meant to be a joke when it’s content is rarely funny. I think just using “Gore” or “Death” would be absolutely better.

Matt Ryan I think is just too far past his prime. I’d actually bring in Wentz to at least try. But that’s assuming he’d take a smaller contract, his pride seems to be a problem.

I’ve been having issues with my account for over a week. I made a post here a week ago detailing some of the issues (I made it on the wrong account and I can’t even see it on this account now). Essentially, every community I visit that’s not on Lemm.ee will be missing posts and I can’t see any of my own posts. I’ve tried through Memmy and the website with the same results. I also tried making a post on a community from a different instance and it posted to a completely different community on a completely different instance. And then when I tried to go back to it to delete it, I couldn’t find it because I can’t see my posts, eventually someone commented on it and I could get to it through my inbox. This is already my second account so I could get off lemmy.world and I’d like to not have to create *another* one so I’d love any insight on steps I can try to resolve this. Or worst case, delete this account so I can try remaking it with the same username. I like this instance so I’d like to be able to use my account here if possible.
Many people said before the draft that Richardson would need to sit for a year or two to learn more before becoming starter, but consensus has slowly shifted towards it being more important for him to get in-game reps. Should be interesting to see how he performs.

I recently tried out Top - 6 Hours for my default sort instead of Hot and liked it but felt I didn’t use the app enough and was missing things. Because of this, I decided to try out Top - Day. However, when setting it as the default sort or setting it manually on the feed page, it says there’s no posts. The same thing happens for Top - 12 Hours. Unless I’m misunderstanding, it doesn’t make sense for posts to appear in the 6 hour version but not the 12 hour or day version. I also tried a couple other Top timeframes and they seemed to work fine. Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug? I didn’t see anything in the list of issues.
