Whilst pricing everything at “what the market will bear” is valid; it is a shitty way to do business.

Valve has traditionally taken a longer view of things; if they sell a controller that you will love and use for years. Their reputation grows, especially if they are not gouging their customers for everything they can.

Valve will make more than enough by selling games via Steam; having an “optimized for Steam Controller” tag somewhere will keep those who already purchased happy; and drive more sales over the long run.

From wiki.

assuming:

• Ballistic trajectory – no other forces are acting on the object, such as propulsion and friction.
• No other gravity-producing objects exist.

Ignoring atmospheric drag, it would.

I use windows at work, I have local admin which removed a lot of friction for a more technical user.

But the difference between my home machines (18 years Linux) and my work machine is friction. Windows makes things hard, it is always a few extra clicks or a stupid reg key change.

E.g. recently wanted my full right click menu back on win11, no nice setting option. Go edit this unnamed registry key, it seemed so janky in a modern os.

I’m a long time Mint user, jumped around a fair few distros but mint works well for me. It is so polished compared to windows, it seems crazy it is the free one.

Windows, nothing I still dislike Microsoft products.

But seriously.
Peanut butter, good quality 100% peanut version changed my mind.

Bandit and Chilli Healer. Final answer.

The way to eliminate the risk is a lot more complex tracking wise but worth it for the risk reduction.

Effectively using spread focus tracking; multiple lower powered lasers provide the power to destroy the mosquito but no single laser has enough energy to damage your eye.

It would require extremely accurate positioning and pointing of the lasers and most likely two cameras for the tracking to get accurate distance to target. I thought of this years ago…but never really cared enough, I live in an area with no mosquito issues.

Not TV, but I’ve told people to skip the first two books in the Discworld series, Sir Terry doesn’t really get into his stride till a little later, but book three is where his talent starts to shine.

Amazing comment.

It is election year…vote like it matters.

I live in NZ the ambulance is either free or $99NZ; depending on which city you live in…I still drive myself if I am able.

I understand your position, but I can’t agree.

The Iranian dictatorship is terrible! The US is also terrible, but also untrustworthy.

I mean you have to try really hard to make Iran look like the adults in the room.

I’m pretty sure, now that this had started Israel, will not let it die down; until they get what they want. They are also terrible.

We have 3 main players in this conflict, all of them are shit.

I’m not “rooting” fit any of them. I’m hoping someone cools their head and makes the adult decision to negotiate. Israel and the US started this, the US is stuck because of ties to Israel. Iran was shitting on it’s people and funding terrorism in the region.

Fuck then all.

But Iran is kicking arse on the propaganda front, some of those Lego songs are banging.

I vote “schlopp summoning”

You are amazing, all the self control of Donald Trump with the charismatic charm of Mark Zuckerburg.

About 100 years.

no no no; since you are using zsh you will need to use ragedit not regedit.

So what you are saying is; Drugs continue to win the war on drugs.

NZ:

Doctor visit is fairly expensive, but very dependant on whichever government we have in. Between $0-45 per visit, kids are always free up to 18 years old. Kids meds are free.

ER is free, any meds prescribed from a hospital are free.

Dentistry is free up to 18 years old, excessively expensive after that.

Generally injuries are covered by ACC, so specialists related to an injury are also mostly covered.

I spent 28 days in hospital 3 years ago, including helicopter transfer on day 1 and two weeks later ambulance ride to a bigger hospital. Got surgery on my lung and various other procedures. Total cost $0.

That is some gold plated memeing work there.

Bravo!
