Here in Germany some McDonalds and Burger King do have self serve drink machines with unlimited drinks, but they are not that many (I would guess 10-20%). Some other fast food chains are more likely to have them, like Subway.

I dont know if they have all the metal you want, but maybe Youtube Music. One youtuber has stated that he gets about twice as much per view from YT Music than he does from Spotify.

Yeah, if a DLC isnt just content taken out of the main game (in a way that makes the main game worse) and is reasonably priced for the amount of content it contains, then it is a good way for developers to get paid for continuing development of a game after launch when it was already finished at launch.

The Witcher 3 DLCs for example were pretty good.

I think that little piece of plastic doesnt really make a huge impact, its not a lot of plastic and we have so many other places where we could guide manufacturers to include less plastic in packaging.

Its much more energy intensive to produce a disposable vape, they contain more plastic, the battery has to be produced and its unlikely they end up in electronics recycling, where they belong.

Yes, Strange New Worlds is the best new Star Trek imo

At 11V you are already damaging most lead acid batteries, especially starter batteries.

If you only do it a few times it will probably take it, but not much more than that.

When I have kids I will allow them to go on the Internet, but I will teach them about where to find good content and stuff like that.

They will ultimately have to learn how to do this anyway, so its better to teach them early.

And I dont want to completely block their internet access because their classmates will have it too and it sucks to be the only one who doesnt, you just dont fit in quite as well and arent able to talk about stuff from the internet if you dont know anything about it. (I am speaking from experience)

I think the real issue is that EA is trying to make profitable games, not good ones.

And that they dont listen to their staff as much as they should when it comes to design decisions or needed development time.

Its the same with the paper straws while disposable electronic cigarettes are still allowed, which not only contain plastics, but also electronics and a rechargeable lithium cell.

All the while a reusable vape works just as well, while paper straws just suck and they even contain plastic as well.

I think touch controls make sense in cars, but only for navigation and advanced settings, like for how long the headlights should stay on when you leave the car, should the mirrors fold when you lock the car, stuff like that.

Everything else should have a button.

I would say risk taking isnt always bad and not always illogical. But yeah, as a man I know what you mean when you talk about testosterone and risk taking.

I imagine it used to have quite a lot of benefits back when we were still sleeping in caves, shure you might die when facing a mammoth, but you could also feed the whole tribe for weeks when you succeed.

And they also shouldnt require specific browsers and a CPU that is less than 2 years old to stream content in resolutions above 720p.

Its not because its not possible, its because it lacks some bullshit copyright protection.

Here in Germany most (German) websites use .de, so its definetly not unprofessional here.

I am also not surprised that .de is one of the most used country TLDs out there.

Lots of chinese phones still have an SD card slot, although its usually in the same location as the second SIM card, so you have to choose.

My phone is like this and I use the dual SIM feature, as the internal memory is 256gb anyway.

The older star trek also usually had one story in each episode, and just a little bit of an overarching plot, so much of the time of the episode was actually used to tell a story.

Discovery adopted this soap-like storytelling, where there is one long story broken up into episodes. Each episode has something interesting at the start, then just a lot of filler, and when it finally starts to get interesting again the episode is over and they spoil half of the next episode with the “coming next” segment.

So instead of making something people want to watch because its interesting, they just manipulate you to watch it because they string you along.

Picard does the same, but at least they have some interesting content in the middle of an episode sometimes.

Just lift the wipers and leave them flipped away
