I know 2 people who’ve had it in the past 3 weeks.

His mom did it. Just hypothesizing that there’s no SO.

NATO should say they promise not to once Russia hands over its nuclear weapons. You know, like Ukraine did. Use the exact same paperwork that Ukraine signed in 1994 (NPT), with the word Ukraine taped over so it’s super obvious.

Sony has sold approximately 150 million PS4/5. Assuming they’re ALL being played, and that Microsoft sold roughly the same number, that means that if roughly one in every five iPhone owners play games, there are equal numbers.

But A lot of it, I’m sure, comes down to what everybody considers gamers/games. Balatro? Unquestionably a game, does it count for your statistics? I don’t know. From my phone on a brief search, the total market was somewhere around 180 billion last year, and $90 billion of that was mobile, and Sony made $17.5 billion in services, though I’m not sure if that includes the actual consoles.

Not when large swaths of people are being told to use it everyday. Upper management has bought in on it.

Thanks! TIL!

Fun fact: artificial banana flavor is based off of the Gros Michel banana, which was mostly wiped out due to disease. We eat Cavendish bananas these days, although there’s a new disease spreading because ( just like last time) it’s a monoculture

So it’s not that it’s artificial tasting, it’s that you’ve never had the real thing and are used to the bananas you’ve grown up eating. Which is normal! Just a weird bit of trivia.

Interesting concept, here’s hoping. They could definitely take a bite out of the progressive market, especially for people who buy a pair of dedicated reading glasses. Comes down to how much lenses cost, how much/many options the frames come with… I suspect this will be a super niche thing, but on board for it

Money, baby. He still (alas) has enough right now he could afford to primary every single Republican that is hard-core Maga, and potentially make Trump a lame duck for two years(depending on how the cult views all this). Which would mean that Trump would no longer be newsworthy, and would drive him up a fucking wall. Of course, then we would have to deal with a new political power and cult of musk
