Efficient at using up all resources and extracting as much value from them as possible.

People forget that 'efficient' in a capitalist sense means that all resources are used. So when you privatize security, prisons, public transport, etc. guess what happens: those companies try to extract as much value as possible and do as little as possible. Because that is what capitalist efficiency is.

This has been tried and tried again, and it never catches on. Computer interfaces that are completely detached from physical 3D space are just much more flexible and easy to use.

They also seem to think that continually spending money to do mundane things in a virtual world is not a problem for regular people who actually have to watch their spending.

If computer interaction benefited from being more 'like reality', then Microsoft Bob or any of the countless other attempts to create a reality- and/or 3D-based computer interface, would have caught on long ago.

Nornally first the capacitor and then the motor. The capacitor is there to absorb the power surge when the motor starts up.

They should be held accountable in a court of law.

And why do you think the US keeps playing this role in Europe? What possible motive could they have?

So it'll end up being a platform of trolls and bigots just screaming into the void and paying for the privilege. What a fabulous idea.

This. If you need anything more complex than that, there's nothing wrong with creating an organization.

Paper Girls is pretty good too.
