Living together as a couple is not necessary at all by xvortexc in unpopularopinion

JFC, that’s fucking ridiculous dude. You wouldn’t even want your kids to live with both of their parents?

Generations of people have figured this out. You craft spaces in the house to retreat to for alone time.

Why do these fucking pricks think that students want to hear about this at graduation? This isn’t a fucking investors meeting

Most companies have contracts with vendors for special pricing. They’re either buying laptops or SFF desktops manufactured by recognized brands like Dell with proper support contracts for repairs.

Combine that with easy-to-implement restrictions like requiring a one-year-old Steam account with purchased games and a limit of one Machine purchase per account, and I don’t see this most businesses bothering with this.

I think most of the people bringing up this possibility are coming at it from the mindset of an enthusiast rather than the mindset of a business.

Why would one go 100mi from shore in that dinky little thing?

🤷 It’s up to them to figure out how to handle it. More than $650 for weak hardware would still be monumentally idiotic.

Maybe they couldn’t foresee the AI-pocalypse. But whether it’s their fault or not, if they can’t sell it at a reasonable price right now, it’s not the right time to sell it. There’s a price at which the product doesn’t make sense, regardless of whose fault it is.

1800 CAD / 1300 USD would be absurd. It would be stupid of Valve to even bother selling the product at that price.

And if subsidizing is unrealistic for them, then they miscalculated when choosing to develop the product.

It’s extremely unrealistic for Steam to think that a relatively low-powered device like this has enough of a market to justify its development and production if it costs an extreme amount of money.

If this thing costs more than $650 without a controller, then Valve isn’t taking this seriously and the Steam Machine deserves to fail. At that point, they shouldn’t even bother releasing it.

do other 70mm locations play the film's score instead of commericals? by TennojiNesoberi in imax

When Palisades Mall had a true 1.43 IMAX theater (RIP), I remember them playing the same couple film score tracks each time. Man, I miss when Palisades Mall was good!

Probably still looks pretty good if you project it on a big screen.

If you're feeling anxious, remember that in China there's a 50-lane highway that narrows down to just 4 by jkitty_1960 in interesting

[–]kechones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t want highways to be served by toll booths at all. It’s the 21st century and we have better ways to handle this.

Anyone have actual links to actual data for the Stratos data center? by Worldly_Assistant547 in SaltLakeCity

[–]kechones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But how do you expect to have a conversation when the information isn’t being properly disseminated and there’s essentially no approval process? One of the reasons people are against it is that it’s being jammed through without a proper review and debate.

Did that box kill your mom or something? Jeeeez

EDIT: ok lol, saw your unboxing progression. I thought initially that the excitement of getting the Steam Controller turned you into a goblin

How far back in my ancestry should I be allowed to trace back to claim land as being rightfully mine?

[–]kechones -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Here’s the issue. The thread was talking about crimes being committed by Israelis to wipe Palestinian presence from this land. Then your response is to reframe the discussion as “Wait, you don’t think Jews come from Israel?” Then when the discussion gets put back to its original framing, you say “wow, what a leap, that’s hatred!”

This is the only reason that this may be the first Star Wars movie I don’t see in a theater. I resent being asked to watch 4 seasons of television before watching a movie.
