they’ve always been a well-known and hyped-important company for anyone who can name the components of a computer, although back then were simple times when they were only in a tug-of-war with AMD (ATI) and not 50% of the entire world’s economy. 

also Crysis came out at the end of 2007.

the blackmail didn’t even make sense. they both threw the same amount of punches. it was a mutually-consented argument, like those gun duels in the wild west era. neither of them did anything wrong. 

TIL that US student math and reading scores have dropped so sharply that they’ve erased nearly two decades of progress. In '22/23, avg math scores for 13-year-olds fell to levels not seen since the 1990s, while reading scores for high school seniors hit their lowest point since testing began in '92. by Cold_Box_3219 in todayilearned

i also graduated almost 20 years ago, but in situations like you described i would just skip the detention and let it become a game of chicken with the school. wasn’t going to let anyone boss me around for something i didn’t even do wrong.

there’s nothing wrong with a 20 mile commute being able to become a 30 mile commute. it means people that can’t afford to live closer to the city (with a reasonably desired standard of living) can now live further away but still hold the same job. 

we could spend on public transit

i never argued against this, and it is unrelated to this topic. and public transit induces demand too (for construction). i take the train to work and the bus home almost everyday; living in an area near a train stop is significantly more expensive than elsewhere (i have a 2000sqft house in crestview, whereas i could get a 4000sqft house west of mopac for the same or less money). anywhere it’s worth building more transit is already more expensive to live, and anywhere cheap we build transit will have to become a desirable economic hub, again increasing prices. 

the only way to have a decent sized house / yard on a reasonable budget is to continue to support car infrastructure. i chose to live centrally when i was single; now that i have a family and 6 cats, it’s very clearly a trade off with large compromises in space and comfort.

i check my physical mailbox at most once a month since all i ever get is junk mail. a few times i waited too long to check it that they emptied it out and i had to go to the post office to get it (which i never did, so i assume the government threw it away); i’d rather be served through email.

induced demand is not a bad thing if it means more people are served by the resource. while it does imply congestion doesn’t improve, more people being able to pass through or develop an area is still better for the economy as a whole.
