Magic: the Gathering.

It churns out a ton of unique settings and ideas for worlds.

Nah. Rewards cards live and die on transaction fees. They generally go to people with credit knowledge that know to pay off the card at the end of the month.

Get work to implement it.

I didn’t, but it comes off as preachy for a question asked in a community called “No Stupid Questions”. A dumb question was asked about AI and the response was “actually, these are the things we need to be worried about because I’m very smart to worry about it”.

Yep. That’s a lot of words to try to seem superior to other people. Did you use ChatGPT to help you write it?

I know The Simpsons sends the grunt work to East Asia, but I thought that South Park is so simple that a US team can bang out production with the writing staff within a week.

I’m putting enough money away that I see myself retiring. At minimum, I would transition to a less stressful job about 10 years away from retirement and ride that out as I go to work less and less.

That said, I know I’ll kill myself if my health degrades too much. I haven’t decided what would happen if I run out of money.

Probably not, but it doesn’t have the issues that Reddit has regarding moderation. Facebook communities are a lot more isolated than Reddit’s are and are generally filled with older people going to the groups for more targeted reasons.

You’re probably now experiencing a thing of Facebook that makes it really valuable to others.

It is possible to price because studios are playing the odds. They might make money on one show but lose money on three others. Uncertainty gets baked into a lot of the initial decisions.

And we are seeing that production budgets are getting slashed on television shows compared to a decade ago because the streaming money doesn’t compare to cable money.

Full price is being able to guarantee that you make your money back on the average release.

I didn’t take the photos.

I know, but my response sparked further discussion so it’s cool.

Acts of God get companies out of a lot of financial burdens, so there is a financial incentive to continue labeling climate related natural disasters as Acts of God.

That said, insurance companies know the odds on events and are pricing in the risk of climate change even if they want to keep the worst instances as Acts of God.

I’m not a native German speaker, but I figure I should add some bit of context.

Acting on stage is far different than acting on a camera. Facial expressions are exaggerated. The body is used more to communicate emotion. Speech is louder and more exaggerated. Most stage actors have to be told to tone down their acting when switching to film or TV because you can see more acting on a screen than in person.

Hitler gives his performances as a stage performer, but we are watching his performances on film in close-up.

I find it interesting compared to the USA.

The USA has migration from richer parts of the country to select poorer parts because the lower cost of living makes up for the lower wages. There are also states that built themselves in part on the back of being a low cost of living place to retire.

Why isn’t Europe there yet?

People 15 years ago used to pay for most television from cable. Netflix, back then renting DVD’s, made a paid streaming service by buying the rights to stream for pennies on the dollar.

We’re now at a point where streaming is what makes money for most shows, so there isn’t the subsidy coming from cable or broadcast like there used to. A TV show is expected to only make its money on streaming.

It turns out people don’t want to pay the full price for content, so streaming companies are experimenting with ads to fund the difference.

Both programs were developed to work on high end consumer laptops, which meant being able to work on IBM PC and therefore DOS.

Those programs also were likely 2D in their initial versions in the 1980’s. They were also competing against human drafting, which was considered to be industry standard at the time.

Cost and ease of use were likely more important than other potential users of 3D software, so they went with DOS and made the transition to Windows.

Neither Autodesk nor Bentley had a good economic reason to develop in Linux. Those companies also spend a lot of money on major clients to produce tools for them, which they then force all contractors to use.

At minimum, we would need AutoCAD, Microstation, and Projectwise. We also need these exact programs as our clients require our CAD submittals to be in specific formats.

We also need Bluebeam Revu for other client coordination.
