Wasn’t this a Futurama joke?
The Animatrix described it fairly closely
I’ve seen this before, but didn’t realise they got milkdrop working. I bought an MMX compatible processor specifically to be able to run this, back in the day.
In the UK it’s quite unusual to have a fixed rate mortgage that goes that long. Normally you’d get a decent rate for 2-5 years, at which point the rate changes to whatever the current default is, and you get the opportunity to fix for another few years
How rich? How should the empathy be shown? Is it a sliding scale where the lines meet in the middle somewhere?
Right. A company that can lose 800 employees doesn’t consider a few million to be that big a deal. Especially if it helps secure future income. Which is kinda the point of the whole thing.
Wouldn’t be surprised if it was to make sure the experienced and mission critical people stick around, instead of jumping off a sinking ship. Downsizing can lead to a panic where you lose the people you vitally need.
Interesting that they note that the installation and upkeep are expensive. I wonder if they’ve factored the upkeep into the energy expenditure. Flat roofing is far worse than a pitched room for needing replacement etc.

You’ve never bought anything with “made in china” on the label?
It’s odd that people are against monopolies, generally speaking, but for streaming services we would prefer if there were a few giant companies which owned it all.
I’m not disagreeing with the above, just thought it was curious.
For similar reasons the Tories in the UK want to throw away the current Human Rights Act.
You know, just in case it has too many rights, and they want to remove some later.
I’ve played 3 of the Cryptic Killers games, and enjoyed all of them so far. I did one as a family group, and 2 with just two of us. Takes around 3 hours if going through them slowly and carefully enough to get all the details.
A lot of their constituency want the properties they own to go up in value. Or at least not down, which risks negative equity.
