I read that double handed punch was popular in film back then because they needed big, dynamic attacks, that looked powerful, but they didn’t have the fight choreography knowledge yet to use actual fighting moves. This move looks impactful, but doesn’t actually do much damage, so they can go full force without concern of putting a star actor on disability.
I think the high price of housing will eventually prevent most individuals from buying a rental property, and like every other industry, the immensely wealthy corporations will take over. My last landlord paid $800 per month for her mortgage on the place. If someone wanted to buy a comparative property to rent out today, their mortgage would be closer to $5400 per month. There aren’t a lot of people who could commit to that. The ladders are being pulled up.
It gives you both, but at what cost? If you have a spouse or child, that’s probably not going to happen again in round two. You’re going to make different decisions that take you on a different life path. Even if you made the same decisions, is your significant other actually going to fall in love with you when you’re going on the first date with 10 years of history already? You’re not going to bring that new relationship energy with you and you’re going to seem weird since you already know them so well. Even if you win them over, you won’t have the same kid. The odds of the same sperm finding the same egg are millions to one, possibly even higher since you probably won’t do it on that exact day. What about all your lifelong friends? Are you actually going to form meaningful relationships at 6 or 10 years old when you have the mind of a 30 year old, or whatever you are by that time? Probably not. I think the cost to go back would be very high.
I think it’s like anything on the modern web, they’ll lose money until they reach a critical mass of users who get accustomed to using ChatGPT in their day-to-day life, and then they’ll kill the free tier.
Microsoft has free tier Office tools because they’re data brokers now. TMK they didn’t always have free Outlook, it was bundled in Office, which cost money. I don’t see ChatGPT remaining free forever, it costs too much to run. I could be wrong though, depending on how much valuable data they can scrape from it.
I love the arrogance of Steven Hawkins. He staged a secret time traveler party, and since nobody showed up, he declared time travel doesn’t exist. Maybe time travelers just don’t want to hang out with Steve…
Ah yup! The French one is exactly what I was thinking of. I didn’t realize that there are different outlets in different EU countries. That’s gotta be annoying when traveling.
It’s impossible to short the US ones too. Plugs only go in one way if they’re polarized, or if they’re grounded. Some devices aren’t polarized and they can be plugged in right side up, or upside down.
That’s different than what my French friend brought over. Aren’t they usually quite bulkier? The ends on her chargers were large round bulky things, with the 3 narrow prongs sticking off. What she had also matched the European adapters I see sold at the electronics store here.

It seems so strange to me that we are locked in battle with providers mining our lives for whatever, and we have to work our asses off trying to stay anonymous, to the point of being denied service
or even pseudo-incriminated for attempting to maintain our own life....
