Two so far. No closet is deep enough to bury that many skeletons. The first few murders are to slow further whistleblowers, it’s just business to Boeing.

Achy Breaky Heart.
I’m not playing to win.

I suspect I’m pretty much the only market for this thing. I can play while in bed, which is where most of switch gaming currently happens. The price is probably reasonable for what it cost them, but they need to explain why anyone besides me would want one.

Can I plug the new vr into it so I can get rid of the gosh-darn wire?

I wonder if they consulted all of the people their priests raped before spending potential settlement money on this?

Celibate all male priest-hood, yea what an amazing idea. Dipshits. US catholic charities do a better job of actually offering the services that hardline protestant churches don’t bother with, but the catholic church abdicated it’s moral authority on issues like this when it specifically and cynically sacrificed it’s own parishioners to preserve the illusion of a caring and wise church.

Meh, hate the game, not the player. I’ve spent half a life and my whole career adjacent to MS, my anger about their products and practices has long since turned to cynical acceptance. Yes, they have over stepped the bounds of fairness and good taste many times, but I’ve seen other vendors do so much worse. If you don’t like Microsoft products, advocate for something else. The bottom of the bottle is that Microsoft has a duty to pursue profit for it’s shareholders, and some of that will be ugly. These days there are workable alternatives for everything they sell, which wasn’t always the case.

Pretty much this. There is a significant learning curve to kubernetes (or similar, I guess?), but it’s a handy skill to be familiar with. If things basically run but with degraded performance on one raspberry, there is no real need for a vertical performance increase. Adding the second will provide almost double capacity, with some HA added for fun.

If containerized, scale horizontal and load balance.

I guess my cutoff would be actual conversation. Unless they specifically ask to be eaten, ala the bit from Hitchiker’s Guide, in which case I guess the sky is the limit.

I think there are a lot of “meat is an accent, not the whole dish” recipes out there, from all over the world. Adapting flavors to a more western palette is going to be tricky, but it can be done. So long as they are presented as good recipes instead of “here is a half step step to vegetarianism”, I think people would dig it.

Without putting too much emphasis on it, showing people how to find fresh veg/fruit/herbs outside of a grocery would be useful, as would some tips on how to buy ethically raised meat/dairy. Having to make trips to different places seems like a chore (and certainly can be), but showing how it can be a pleasant social experience would help a lot to build a larger community of like-minded foodies. Spend local, reduce waste, encourage a local market for superior produce, network with like-minded people, etc…

I would love to see a show about how to adapt traditional meals to vegetarian or reduced meat dishes, but absolutely not presented by a vegetarian or vegan. Existing presenters can’t seem to stop talking about vegetarianism/veganism. I would appreciate the information, but I can only abide their purity spiral attitudes briefly.

If you read the articles you linked, you’ll notice some specifically fishy language. Neither one says that donors are promised first dibs, only that they often get it. If it’s not written down, you have nothing if they decide to do it differently.

Source? When they proposed to do this for blood donors, it got shut down in a hurry.
