  • I spent $1000 on my Samsung (S6? I can’t even remember anymore) and it’s battery shit the bed after like 12 months and the charging port no longer worked unless the cord was exactly in a specific angle and pressure on order to recharge it. It was a pain in the ass and cheaper to buy a new phone than to fix it.

    Bought a OnePlus 5 after that which lasted 4 years, them a OnePlus 9 which lasted another 4 years, and currently on year 2 of my OnePlus 13 with no issues.

    Samsung could have had another 2-3 phones from me if they had decent quality but nah they prefer to design to fail.

    The prestige of a journal is ranked based on how often it gets cited (or in other words, how influential the papers are within the journal).

    Wouldn’t this mean that other smaller journals could still publish the random common boring studies and then pretty much everyone would be citing those, since the boring stuff like “Trees consume carbon dioxide” would be cited a lot more than specific stuff like “Molecule XX2 can affect the brain development of Augustus caesarius if introduced between the ages of 3 and 6 months” and than become super prestigious?


  • It’s a good tactic because whatever lies the Whitehouse comes up with to defend against the first few leaked things might be countered by the next few leaked things. They have no idea what is available to be leaked next so have to be careful what they say.

    If it all came out at once they would know exactly what they have to work with when crafting their story.

    As well, coming out a little bit at a time means people can focus and pay attention to the details, discuss it.

    If 20,000 emails were all of a sudden leaked hardly anyone would care because no one would be talking about the same things at the same time and the details get lost






  • I think it would be a nice thing to include as not everyone wants to interact with other players if they don’t need to. But I don’t think it should be an obligation.

    It sounds like a concept that I could enjoy, but I probably won’t play it if there isn’t a PvE mode. I play video games so I don’t have to interact with people. But I’m not going to buy it knowing there isn’t a PvE mode and then complain that there isn’t one.
