I see said the blind man, as he picked up the hammer and saw.

Outside the post WWII bubble most new construction is always luxury focused. The old luxury becomes the entry and mid level places.

Lego is the best of the blocks/bricks. Nothing else is close in quality.

On the plus side, the guard also killed a good number of the people they were supposedly protecting…

The problem is targeted ads allow for really good data reporting. It’s really easy to show your ad dollars went to x million views with 98% of the audience in at least one of your demographics, and you had a Y% click through rate and a Z% conversion rate. This can make it look like it’s really effective, but it’s hard to say that it wasn’t some other advertising that got them there and the targeted spend was wasted.

Advertisers know a lot of their spending is wasted, but knowing which parts are actually a waste is pretty difficult.

I think we need more of everything else (except Linux and Star Trek) rather than less politics.

Every major infrastructure project that involves tunneling or digging runs into massive cost overruns, so basing the number on a cost estimate is already fishy. 100x is probably overkill, but not absurdly so. US infrastructure averages 8-12x more than elsewhere in the world, and it’s getting worse. New York adding less than two miles of track to their subway still cost more than double the estimate. California is spending infinite money on a rail line that may never exist.

Would you rather spend $100 for a 5% chance of losing power for 4-8 hours per year, or spend $10,000 dollars for a .1% chance of losing power for a minimum of 2 days?

I think it should require some proof that there was mutual intent to prevent or end a pregnancy, but otherwise it seems reasonable.

The need for maintenance is forseen, but it’s generally deferred. There was probably a plan to do something every year or two, but they weren’t willing to shut the beach down for a week or so. A second pipe would be absurdly expensive.

He was a pro skater in the early days. Made a bunch of prank and stunt videos that eventually got him on jackass, where he was mostly just an ass to others. Then he got a reality show about being a dick to his family. He never got clean when the rest of jackass started getting clean and was forced out.

Better not let Bam know you have glue to huff

Let me introduce you to Spec Ops the Line. A game where wanting to blow stuff up is the political statement.

I’m not sure about always. That’s just lazy world building to have orcs naturally evil instead of predominantly mind controlled or ruled by evil leaders or some sort of blood fued. It’s the same with good aligned races. Unless you want to focus on the definition of good and evil.

I learned after the fact, that most of Torchwood is just how John Barrowman is. He insisted on having a scene with a shirtless Stephen Amell in Arrow as well.

Valerian and the city of a thousand planets. It’s an amazing setting and if you put some leads with actual chemistry in a sequel it could do well.

Land use would be lower if we reduced livestock, but likely not massively. Lots of grazing land isn’t suitable for farming, letting it go wild would also require a massive effort to reintroduce natural grazing animals, which would likely need active management. There’s also the fact most of our crops would need to change to optimize for human consumption, and humans aren’t as efficient at consuming those calories as livestock. Even after transitioning crops there’s going to be a significant amount that isn’t processable by humans that would sustain some amount of livestock.

Timezones really suck because it only takes one person doing something wrong and it makes a giant mess.

Mostly no, but maybe yes. The problem would be licenses that are granted to anyone that hosts your content could allow them to use it for such things. If you completely self host or carefully select for services that don’t have terms that allow them to use your data, then maybe you have a legal claim you could make.

The second problem is going to be proving a company used your data to train on. You likely can’t prove they have a copy, if it’s been parsed into some sort of meta data, it may be permissable anyway.
