I'm not convinced the ballistic missile hit Moscow.

Militarnyi seems to be reporting fragments of an fp-5 at the refinery not an fp-7. The New York Times also observes that the fp-7 lacks the range to hit Moscow according to Fire Point's publicly listed specifications. Zelensky so far as I can tell has not claimed the missile hit Moscow specifically. Maybe somewhere else in Russia?

The primary anti scalping mechanisim Valve employes is randomizing delivery order. Being in line first because you have the fastest bot does not guarantee getting the goods first.

The original commentator is complaining they can't join the waiting list multiple times for the express purpose of "increase your chances of getting one in the first batch". That would give scalpers a potential way to get more of an advantage. And runs directly counter to anti scalping.

You are complaining you can't decide what you want once you get through which is a different issue. Though allowing that would likely make waitlists muchore complex

The lottery is cool but too bad this time they don’t allow you to join the list for both options to increase your chances of getting one in the first batch.

Its an anti scalping measure. That seems counter to preventing scalping

Given how much valve has been advertising running the steam frame with the steam machine if it doesn't already work now it will be a priority to make it work. I trust valve's fairly consistent marketing more than a leak

This and pulling into an intersection you don't have a snowball's chance in hell of clearing before the light changes (Bonus points for the vehicle being an 18 wheeler and having hazardous cargo).

Do the wizards also gas their bananas? The choice of fruit here implies that wizards are bound to the limitations of modern farming and container shipping. The common prevalence of bananas in the real world boils down to a pile of technical limitations on growing and importing fruit.

  1. Unlike most other common grocery store fruits they are tropical. Which means that they can be grown under normal conditions year round. It also means they need to be imported which would normally make them expensive
  2. Bannanas can be picked green, shipped refrigerated, and ripened under ethylene gas (tomatoes and apples might also be in this category). This enables bannanas to be transported by ordinary container ships rather than needing to be done by air. This also enables some amount of stockpiling. This cuts costs a lot such that bannanas can be cheaper than local produce unlike most other imported produce that needs to be flown in.

I'm going to be honest this sounds like it's making fun of all the AI bros insisting we need to "pause" to consider the dangers of "superintelligent" AI while ignoring the actual problems.

Why start grammar checking him now? He's never been able to speak. That was his last three brain cells firing wildly into a sea of soup.

Kinda wish this was back when medical reasearchers robbed graves for cadavars cause I doubt his brain will be volentarily donated to science.

Bikes aren't supposed to be on the sidewalk. Wheelchairs on the other hand are. This may violate whatever the local equivalent of the Americans with Disabilities Act is and if the country in question doesn't have laws mandating accessibility to the disabled it should.

And under no circumstances should I need to walk into traffic to avoid a truck.
