Modem starts dialing up. Everything is going fine, attempting 28.8k negotiation… failed. Okay, not Im listening to 19.2k negotiation… failed again? Ugh, ok, 14.4k… no? Jesus fuck. Please let me at least have 9600…

It would be helpful if it weren’t so profitable for media organizations to spend so much time convincing people that other people aren’t kind, so why bother.

I’m not even sure I would say we are arguing. You provided your version I offered mine. We disagree, maybe, but I don’t think either of us is concerned enough to make a concerted effort to change the other’s opinion.

Yes, I did just argue over the semantics of argument itself. What of it? This is America the Internet, after all.

Like what the Kool-Aid man does to walls? We need a stronger fruit punch is all.

Not to mention “an object” is just a construct describing a collection of molecules that themselves don’t necessarily sit still or all stick around.

Dark energy would like a word

Capitalism

It was named after the sarcastic comment its early users would say to the people offended, “Try cords”.

I’d go with 20% as upper class. I think of “wealthy” as having money that lets you come and go as you please, just buy a fancy car if you want without really having to think about the finances of it.

There is a D&D-type game that measures wealth as a rating of 0 to 5, and you can make essentially unlimited purchases of items costing up to 1 below your wealth rating essentially at-will. So someone can buy a sandwich whenever, someone else could take a decent vacation/cruise whenever, another could buy a decent car without worry, one could buy a nice house like it’s nothing, and finally someone who could buy a mansion or private jet without real concern. Those in the couple-hundred-million to billions range.

I’d draw the Wealthy line somewhere in the mid-4 range on that scale. You could also consider it as “the point where safe/moderate investments could continue supplying a family plenty of comfort without working for two+ generations”.

Next: replacing the customers with kiosks

I was curious how many U.S. households earn at least $170k, and this website responded to asking about 170k by saying that the 80th percentile is $165,068.

I have this vague recollection from one or two earlier playthroughs that during one of the mission maps, some cloaked dudes show up, theres some Ashley/Mr. Riggs dialogue, and you suddenly can use Cloak. Separate from scanning enough of them to unlock the tech/blueprint. Tried Googling and couldn’t find anything about that, though I feel like I went on this journey once before and got reminded of the mission thing from some website.

Hey, did Camo unlock in your playthrough with this update? I started with coop_beta and have since gone back to the main branch after the update, and the tech and blueprint unlocked, but I can’t actually select it.

Please stop me from building over-defended walls at the far borders of the entire map and using a consistent 4x4 grid placement for flooring that aligns the entire gotdamn map…

Edit: said map

I don’t keep up with any of this stuff, and so it just makes me think of memes like this:

I wasn’t making any kind of reference, myself, to be whooshed by. I’ve used this name around for a little while and just wanted to agree with your statement, then noticed the partial similarity in our names and wanted to comment on that, to, as if someone were trying to say my handle but got stuck on an audio loop: “Major— major— major— major—”

For your consideration.

As someone who used to work with “large” (to normal people; 10k-60k rows up to maybe 70 columns) datasets in Excel exclusively, I also hate Excel.

As someone whose name escaped the skipping record that your name is, I concur.
