Even a turtle realizes when something can threaten its existence.

Hey now, don't worry. I'm sure this will all be cleared up when the bodycam footage is released and it clearly shows the police being menaced with a knife... right?

Ah... well. You know the old saying, you can't make a genocide without killing a few hostages.

Gee, we've had over a half century of computer graphics at this point. However, suddenly when a technology arises that requires obscene amount of GPU's to generate a results a GPU manufacturer is here to tell us that all computer graphics without that new technology is dead for... reasons. I cannot see any see any connections between these points.

Yikes, even Rivians are having similar issues, so this isn’t exclusive to these shitty trucks.

That being said, given the sheer number quality control problems with the Cybertruck I'm not willing to discount there being some sort of manufacturing defect contributing to tire problems. Like maybe Telsa didn't give the right specs to Goodyear, or maybe they cheaped out on the materials used, or Elon got involved and demanded that ketamine needed to be mixed into the rubber or something.

I'd also like to add she's dumb as a rock, just in case anyone missed that.

Spez is a pretty standard tech bro, so of course he wants to jam "AI" into everything he can.

That seems like a good way to get fleas.

Trump is a psychopath that should not be allowed to drive a car let alone a country.

Good news then, presidents and former presidents aren't allowed to drive themselves. So at least we won't have to deal with Trump claiming that deep state operatives switched the gas and brake peddles.

It's probably better then the days old garbage they usually scavenge. And I cut off the moldy part too.

I bought one of those vegan Spam-a-likes and I have to say I really didn't like it.

I my thought process was "Spam's so heavily processed, how much worse could it be if no meat were involved?" the answer turned out to be "A lot." I don't know how to describe it. It's like... you know how there are all beef hot dogs, but they don't taste anything like beef? It was kinda that but with Spam... but Spam isn't very meat like to begin with.

All that being said, after the plant based Spam sat in my fridge until it started to get fuzzy, I threw it out for the stray cats in my neighborhood. Despite the fact I found it to be quite unappealing, starving alley cats found it to be meat like enough to eat it... which I guess is a mark in it's favor?

 

So I was browsing SteamDB.info looking at the various games on sale when I noticed there were a bunch of games (usually from the publisher Hede, but there's quite a few others) listed as having a discount in the high nineties, yet still costing in the neighborhood of 30-50 dollars. Even odder when I go to the game's Steam, it's not listed as being on sale and costs the... "normal" price of $99.99.

I'm just wondering A) What the scam is here, B) How a SteamDB.info is getting $99.99 dollar game as costing 30-ish dollars when it's 97% off but at the same time it's apparently not actually on sale?
