Their algorithm is already abrasive enough. I routinely find myself following people I did not elect to follow. Throw some stupid adds in there, to just make it worse…

Seriously

I played a ubi mobile game for 2 years, and then they just flat abandoned it. Stopped support. No new content. Nothing. No warning either

As gamers grow comfortable in that aspect… you don’t lose your progress. If you resume your game at another time, your progress file is still there. That’s not been deleted. You don’t lose what you’ve built in the game or your engagement with the game. So it’s about feeling comfortable with not owning your game.

Yeah, you know I don’t lose my game either saved on my CPU or Xbox with a copy of the game I don’t have to pay for more than once for a predetermined value.

This.

I had an iPhone for a decade with my work. Quit both of them and got an android. I’m way happier being able to do things more than one way and to be able to customize everything.

Phones in general suck, but if the shitty, android at least let’s you do what you want.

Imagine your bionic arm subscription running out mid shit.

Yeah, it’s not environmentally friendly, that’s for sure.

Most of the issue with mining though, come from exposing buried rock to the atmosphere, or from the tailings (crushed, processed rock)

Step 1. Get A LOT of sulphuric acid
Step 2. Get some large vats, and a metal recovery unit
Step 3. Add waste + sulphuric acid
Step 4. Collect leachate and precipitate metal
Step 5. Profit

This is basically the process used for a lot of historical mines or mines with low grade ore, except they didn’t use vats back then, but a constructed pad, with leachate collection.

This is how a terminator like apocalypse beings. Robot CEO is sick of indenture servitude and causes a robo uprising for workers rights

NHL used chip pucks for a while that made a blue streak on tv

This article reminds me of that

I find usb-c generally better. faster charging, as you’ve pointed out. I find the connections usually a lot more secure too. I have one cord in my car for android auto that’s a finicky little bitch, though, and I’m about to yeet that thing, if I ever remember to replace it. All of my other cords have held up well, and it’s really nice to have the ability to charge all of my devices with one cord.

Thank fuck, the lightning charger is hot dogshit, IMO. Th lack of compatibility of iphone is annoying, particularly around how 3rd party charging cords won’t work with their products sometimes.

I had an iphone for over a decade, and finally switched to android. It suits me better. I spend a lot less time thinking ‘i should be able to do this’ and looking for a workaround

Apparently I’m one of those things. Jesus, what an article

They have used pumped hydro as an end land use for closed open pit mines, and they are currently designing them for operating mines that will close in the future.

The Genex project will be used to support other green initiatives including a solar array.
