  • Well, a little bit of ‘yes’ and a little bit of ‘no’.

    If it is possible over the course of the game for turn orders to be changed, or for a player to choose to draw a card, or cause another player to draw a card, then it matters in a way.

    If I can cause actions to make another player draw a card, then it is more meaningful if the deck is shuffled already, because the card that I caused the player to draw is the same as the card I would have drawn if I drawn a card instead. However, from the perspective of the user, there is no way for them to know the difference.

    I feel like it is better for the integrity of the game if the deck is shuffled for real, though. Because if ever a user finds out that it doesn’t work how it is expected, then it cheapens the experience in a way. Kind of like how the old Mario Party games determined the outcome of dice rolls when the die appeared on screen instead of when you pressed the button to ‘roll’ them.


  • There are a few inaccuracies in your statement, but It was clear the whole thing was about money from the start though, you shouldn’t be surprised about this. If you were hoping for AI to be free to you, you should have only been supportive of software that you could run on your own hardware.

    Anyway, these companies are in the position of ISPs now, where they have customers, but they don’t want to pay for the infrastructure to support the amount of customers that they have, since they can make the same amount of money without making their customers happy.

    None of that helps you… Sorry…

    Welcome to episode 1 of Black mirror reality TV series!

    Well, have fun with your pig, I guess. Haha.








  • But if they have more customers then they have to spend more resources making more product. So 1 customer at 1000x the price is more valuable than 1000 customers at the a lower price. If it costs 28 dollars to make a year’s worth of doses like this screenshot claims, then they’d make $42,222 charging a single customer the current price, while they’d only make $12,000 charging 1,000 customers the proposed price.

    So for the company to make more money than they are now, they’d need 3,519 new customers for every one current customer. Since Google says there are 1.2 million people with HIV in the United States, if they have more than 342 current customers in the united states, they are making more now than they could ever make at the proposed price. Therefore the amount of new customers is almost certainly not worth it to them.

    Money seems to ruin pretty much everything about healthcare.




  • Those handles look like a pretty good idea, but I don’t quite think they’d solve the need for a hard monitor. Since I’ll still end up getting the screen dirty and needing to clean it frequently like I have been lately. Though, knowing that any monitor I get will have to meet the mounting requirements set forth by the arms further limits my choices, meaning, I might just have to do without, especially since no one even seems to know of any hard monitors that exist anyway.

    Thanks for the suggestions though!








  • Michelle Obama would have lost for sure. Remember, she’s the one who all the kiddos were blaming for having their school lunches ruined forever. And whenever kids ask why their school lunches suck today, they still get the response, “It was Michelle Obama’s fault”.

    Obama was elected sixteen years ago, so anyone who was in school at all at that time can vote now, so we have nearly 20 years of voters who will hate this person for ruining their lunches when they were children. It would never work out and would have been a really poor choice to run her, since Dems typically require the younger vote.
