To add to your point regarding additional functions inherent in smartphones: pagers do one thing. They’re relatively simple devices. Simplicity means that there are fewer things that can cause the device to function incorrectly or fail to function altogether. In hospital communications use-cases, this is a huge benefit.

Additionally, pagers are relatively inexpensive. Therefore, it’s much more effective to have multiple spares available for distribution compared to smartphones. If a pager is inoperable, it can quickly be swapped out with a backup while the original is repaired or replaced. Smartphones do not carry that benefit.

Damn.

Have you tried Driving 4 Answers? He goes more into the engineering side of things, but he’s got a great presentation style. He’s kind of like the Technology Connections of automotive information.

No shit…

This is the original game. Settlers of Kalguur is the newest league (think “season”) launching at the end of this week.

PoE 2 goes into early access sometime later this year, whenever that is. Regardless, they’ll be two distinct experiences, with many players planning to devote some time to both.

If you’re interested in starting PoE, my general advice is that the best time was yesterday. In this case, with a new league starting this week, I’d still encourage anyone to play around in the non-league standard just to get an early feel for things before Friday. PoE has a notoriously steep learning curve, so it’s never too early to log a few hours and experience the opening acts.

Wouldn’t it need to be “dunp”?

Could? Possibly, sure.

Would? Why should any ticket guarantee a win based solely on arbitrary characteristics of the candidates? Nothing about being a woman, a man, trans, cis, gay, straight, bi, ace, black, white, Latino, Asian, biracial, triracial, short, tall, hirsute, bald, balding, skinny, jacked, overweight, or any other randomly chosen descriptor should be a factor in electability. The fact that it’s even in question is a strong indictment of how we view politics in a broad sense.

I agree with your list, but I also have to point out the irony of throwing in a “for the 'muricans” in reference to an American multinational company.

That’s one hell of a shelf life…

That’s exactly why I deleted it. Seemed a little too dry and slightly mean right after I posted it, so I immediately hit delete.

I find it hard to take seriously anyone who throws the term FUD around with no sense of irony.

I think they were a duck a few times during the composition of that comment.

Console diehards enjoy brigading.

Sensationalist journalism. This manifests as clickbait headlines, agenda pieces, and other such tactics.
