This is exactly why motion blur works in some genres, like racing or fighting games, but not in others, like FPS or strategy.

Note to self: load things for a spaceport on ship

Just plowed my first spaceship into the middle of an asteroid field. Thank the devs for a making a “First trip to other planet” autosave!

Does it at least take a long time, thereby not entirely ruining my analogy?

The classic non-stock example is the apple farmer. Apple trees take a long time to grow, years before they produce any significant amount of apples.

Suppose I plant an orchard of the new Awesome Amy Apple trees. I’m betting those will really take off in two years, so they’ll be really profitable. But since these apples are my entire income, and I’d rather not eat an entirely apple-based diet by then, I’m going to hedge my investment. I’m giving up some profit to reduce my risks.

I’m making a contract to sell half my apples for, say, 20 dollars per bucket. Now, they might be worth 40, but they might also be completely worthless if the Perfect Pete Apple becomes more popular. So I’m giving up some potential profit in exchange for certainty by hedging.

Another type of hedge would be me planting 75% Awesome Amy, and 25% Perfect Pete. I’m still assuming the alliteration will win the day, but by spreading my investment around, I’m reducing my risk.

To translate this to the stock market, the first examples would be to buy options for the future. The second example is simply spreading your investments.

The sewage treatment is not built to handle that kind of stuff.

They’re also not built to handle it in the US, but lower standards solve that problem pretty handily

I guess so, but why so huge? Modern riding gloves are really short.

Why the weirdly huge gloves? They definitely don’t help you shoot.

A cat.

The neighbor’s cat managed to get through the screen window into our bedroom, but couldn’t get out again. And because I wasn’t thinking, I picked it up and decided to carry it downstairs. That was a mistake. It bit my hand, wrist and forearm, and scratched basically everywhere else. The bites were bleeding a LOT, especially the one on my wrist. And of course I had to get antibiotics and a tetanus shot, which meant that only were the bites hurting, I was nauseous for two weeks too.

Also a snake once. My partner made me go to the doctor, who said “yep, that’s a snake bite. Call me if it’s not getting better”.

I’m a HUGE cyberpunk fan, so I made the mistake of buying it at release. Some of my most impressive issues:

• Trees would draw “on top” or in front of everything else, even when blocked by other objects. So in greener areas, my entire screen was filled with trees.
• The scripted driving sequences would get me stuck in “driving mode” about half the time after the scripted sequence is over. So I’d be walking around like a car, not able to strafe or jump.

So, I refunded it, outside of the refund period, but they were nice to me.

When the expansion released, and everything seemed a LOT better, I bought the game again, and I loved it! It’s a pretty OK game, with a great story and absolutely amazing sidequests.

This sounds rather bad for Open Transport Tycoon Deluxe (https://www.openttd.org/)

I mean, it was not-terrible for most of it (not counting the quality of dialogue), just not this exact scene, which was absolutely fucking terrible, and barely even involved the character in question. I really can’t imagine how they thought “Other people should talk about their gender!” was a good idea.

Parking at the side or front is for when you drive there in your own car, and then get in your friend’s car for the movie.

I’ve always assumed the dongle uses bluetooth as well. Why invent a new protocol when there’s one that does exactly what you want?

A life-ectomy, so to say

In 1955, basically everyone smoked. Like 65% of Europe were smokers, and I do mean 65% of living humans of all ages.

again I need to learn doing correct grammar in English.

It’s pretty decent for someone nearing a half century coke habit.

It’s hard to fall out of the window in space, on account of not being able to fall and not having windows. But Boeing’s got rocket scientists working on the problem!

Anti Satellite weapon, or Boeing+rocketfuel?
