Yes, I agree, a 24H bezel would add a lot more functionality but I really built this one around that matte silver/chrome Yacht master look, the GMT was added because I got a NH34 on sale.
Planning a skx build now with 24H bezel and either a NH34 or 35/36.
Steve Keen is a decent academic who presents a pretty honest account of Marx and contemporaries. He has spoken on a few podcasts and released some books.
There's approx. 240 different possible outcomes each week, chances that you land on the correct one twice in a row is near impossible.
So you wouldn't be conning anyone, unless you were picking only one game each week, in which case you have a 50% chance and therefore no one would care if you got it right twice, an octopus can do that.
Further to the above, the sports gambling industry is huge, chances that you can offer something over and above what multi-million dollar betting agencies can offer is frankly absurd unless you're an MIT Maths grad.
Cornflakes is cereal. AoE is Age of Empires, you might have heard about it. The comment I replied to was talking about games being released in cereal boxes. Where is the context lacking?
This is ridiculous, it'll never work. They should have gone with my idea of installing a series of air cannons and large nets atop of buildings. Need to get downtown in a rush? Here's your helmet, climb on in and BOOM! You're on your way! No stupid take off and landing, just try to flap towards the net.
You didn't think Racoonatouille was funny as shit? I lost it at that part.
Otherwise it was an alright movie, pretty solid, obvious heart string pulling story line. I liked the no matter what universe they are in they end up together schtick, but again I watched it before I knew it was a big hit so had no expectations either way.
I think it is safe to assume that the percentage of Lemmy users that actively use/d Twitter is quite low. Even Reddit was dominated by anti-Twitter/Meta sentiment, which has been further concentrated here.
The only mainstream platform I would say a large percentage of Lemmings use would be LinkedIn, and even then it's recognised as a necessary evil rather than an additive service.
It can run at a loss. I believe the real motive here was to deplatform some users, or at least limit the functionality and usefulness of the platform. Twitter's reach was vast, and activists were using its reach to speak out against oppressive Governments (amongst other things). The previous two US elections also demonstrated the power and influence of Social media. Elon can run X at a loss, funded by Saudi (and others) as long as it stays larger than competitors.
As much as we'd like them to be, Mastodon et al are not nearly big enough to compete at the moment, and it will take some time to match the critical mass of X. Thus, as much as users might complain, those that require a loudspeaker platform (journalists, celebrities, politicians, academics) are compelled to still use X lest they themselves become irrelevant.
It seems as though it was more a part of the Bing deal. In that MS said you can have Bing if you allow Bing and LinkedIn trackers. DDG were then able to negotiate a subsequent agreement that now blocks those trackers.
The failure to disclose the original MS tracker deal is slightly concerning but personally when I use DDG and just clear everything each session anyway and for the most part use Firefox with extensions for anything needing logins.
What? Right wing conservative facist in fact has a very non-traditional open relationship with a sexual predator...well if I had a nickel...etc etc.
