Rockstar Games regarding Grand Theft Auto VI
  • That said, it cost 300 million to makes and 5 years to develop. Getting a return in the billions after 10 years is expected, otherwise they might as well save all that time and energy, and massive financial risk, and just buy conservative ETFs with that 300 million and sit at the beach.

    Democrats flip county Donald Trump won by nearly 60 points
  • The fear is they only show up for trump. And will when the time comes. I think that fear is valid. Low engagement voters either don’t mind trump, or they love trump, and they will show up in much greater numbers in the general.

    DOJ announces arrests in ‘high-end brothel network’ used by elected officials, military officers and others
  • Are Johns (and sex workers) even worth prosecuting? I think the DOJ is interested in a organized prostitution ring and it’s leaders, involved in conspiracy and money laundering, not a few dudes paying for (adult) sex.

    I don’t think they’ll waste their time.

    [OC] Vietri sul mare, part of the Amalfi Coast, in italy
  • I married in Italy, and came here shortly after. I’ve travelled to many places, but that was one place I’ll never forget. I hope when I retire it will be near a place with half the beauty of this place.

    Hotel > AirBNB
  • I usually prefer hotels too, but I’ve never had this issue. What I don’t like is the extra fess they add though. Makes it hard to compare prices since “per night” has almost no reflection on how much total cost of the stay.

    When I was in Rome I had a beautiful apartment for $70 per night with a terrace garden, a balcony, a grill, a full kitchen, a private laundry room, locals cafe, locals bakery. You don’t any of those things with a hotel, and yet mediocre rated hotels in that area were like 5x more.

    ‘Safe and effective’: first malaria vaccine to be rolled out in 12 African countries
  • First step is testing safety. Then you give it to a much larger group to establish the level of effectiveness, since you need a lot of data to establish that. After the effectiveness is established you would declare it safe AND effective.

    SMH. Can’t imagine how that’s not obvious.

  • Defederation isn’t about punishing them. It’s about keeping their garbage off this platform, and keeping it separate.
