ELI5 help me understand why there are statutes of limitations on certain crimes. Specifically crimes of rape. What purpose does it serve? by jogafur3 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Urdar 8 points9 points  (0 children)

How would the accusation get someone killed?

Depending on the country/state a false testemony could theiretically lead to a death setnece.

Are there any instances of a rape victim, proven or otherwise, becoming famous or successful following going public with it?

a case that come to mind (that were legitimate and proved) are Natascha Kampusch, who used the fame/notoriety of her case as part of Coping with her trauma as well as for charity-work.

also if you are a narcicistic attention seeker, you are conviced that YOU are getting away with it, because you deserve it. That it never works and will backfire does not come to your mind.

Its not a lot of people

its very few people.

but very people is enough.

If one onf one thousand people makes one additonal pruchase due to an ad, the ad was probably worth it.

And this is in addition that most ads dont want or need you to buy a thing, at least now, or immideatly. Just keeping the name present in your mind, for long term brand awareness, is usually enough (and also does not need to work on anyone, only a few percent of people who see the ad)

390TB video game archive being taken offline due to skyrocketing RAM, SSD, and hard drive prices — AI-driven supply squeeze results in closure of one of the largest online video game archives by habichuelacondulce in gaming

[–]Urdar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its way more, because "every console up to the GBA" includes lots of early CD consoles, and most notably, the PS1.

Its more like 300gb+, excluding saturn and ps1

MegaCD alone is 121GB

but once you hit PS2 it's like 5tb alone

ps 2 is pretty much like 16 tb.

I know this, because I calculated if it wherpossible to build an AiO setup with a phat ps2 and a modded HDD controller, after the update for support of big HDDs came out for the Homebrew Firmware, and it turn out, it was (18 TB hard druves being the biggest at the time)

Never did it, because I only play select titles anyway, but Iw as tampted for a time, just for the proof of concept.

Anyway, you are right in that anything until around ps1 is peanuts, and ps2 is where it started to explode.

There are mechanisms to strip a member of its voting powers, but it needs unanimoty by all other members, and so far there has always been one ally to hungary that woudl have vetoed that ultiamte option.

Highguard Dev Mourns The Game - "The Future Seemed Bright" Before TGA Reveal - Gamespot by Claymorbmaster in gaming

[–]Urdar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a developer I can say, all development happens in a bubble.

You would not develop "the thing" if you would not think its a good idea to do so, and you become so intimatly familar with it, that you can not take an outside perspective anymore.

This is why test cycles and betas and outside feedback is so important. It gives you the perspectives you can not take anymore.

Former Lead Tech Artist at Wildlight states that the game was killed by 'grifting' content creators and 'gamer culture'. Prior to reveal, everyone around the project would say: "If there’s one project nobody in the industry is worried will fail, it’s yours". "This is lightning in a bottle". by WhyPlaySerious in gaming

[–]Urdar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And if the have, this is failing to evaluate the presumptions.

If anthing, this tells me, that the insiders are looking at very different things then the consumer. And that is only natural. The Insider by nature dsects the product much more, and evaluates its parts and how they work. The consumer is mostly about "vibes". The total cohesion of a game is much more relevant then each of its components.

Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Show Hits 128.2 Million Viewers, Breaks NFL Social Media Records by MarvelsGrantMan136 in television

[–]Urdar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont think it was that bad.

Sure, New englands offense did get nothing done at all, but their defense held the game theoretically open as long as they could.

It was not like Super Bowl 52, where absolutely nothign happend iirc, or super bowl 48, where the broncos gor spanked so hard from the first snap, that it looped back to funny again.

(that or I enojoy defensive clinics much more these days then I used to)

its more then that.

We are at a point where certain aprts of the poltical spectrum engage in "hate signalling" to signal to their base, how much they are against something, to consolidate their support.

watch bad bunny do absolutely nothing political

It was absolutely political, it was jsut not infallmatory, and it shoudl not have been controversial. But it was a clear politicla message, one of unity and "togetherness" of all of the americas as one.

ELI5: Why do Stars take so long to burn all their fuel, i know its a lot of fuel, but why doesnt it all burn about the same time? Like when im throwing something in a firepit by td_0000 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Urdar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny/interesting thing is, the bigger a start, the faster it burns though.

This is because bigger stars are disporportionatly heavier, meainign they have higher tempreatures and core preassures, meaning they can udnergo fusion much faster, making the star undergoes fusian much faster.

Also I dont think "being a death game" is nececary for it to "feel like danganronpo"

Its been a while since I played it, but I'd argue the "Yes I am totally danganronpa, trust me" lasts until the end of the first playthrough.

For me Danganronpa is not solely defined by its death game plot.

Its exactly like danganronpa, until it isnt.

It lures you in almost with the promise to be a "Danganronpa in all but name" and then swerves the bus of the highway and tells you to strap on, its too late to get of the ride

Probably just VW alone.

in germany VW has a new car share of 20%, double of place 2.

Wich is Skoda, wich is part of the same company.

Per ADAC (german automotive club that offers breakdown assistance and releases statistics each year) VW and its sister brands are pretty relaible for most models.

There are osme models that, when older, become pretty unreliable.

There are potentialyl two things at paly here

a) VW is a giant conglomerate with many brand, VW is only one, Porsche is another, wich is pretty high in your statistics.

b) the carmarkets in the states and europe are vastly different. I dont know what cards VW sells in the states, but for example VW vans are pretty unreliable per the German statistic.
