When you said you paid cash, you paid all ~7.5k€ in paper money? How do you get that much cash out of your bank?

Presumably by going there, showing your ID, and withdrawing it? They might make you wait a day to have that much on hand, but not more than that.

We are talking Germany here. People buy cars in cash. You don’t even have to necessarily wait a day.

True, which is why I said “might”. Even in the US. I only have to call ahead if I want smaller bills - $20 and $100 they usually have plenty of unless it’s a tiny branch.

it works if the console isn't sold at a loss, which isn't always the business model

> What’s the problem with the F35 and combat readiness?

For example, the UK would like to use its own air-to-ground missile (the spear missile) with its own F-35 jets, but it's held back by Lockheed Martin's Block 4 software update delays.


Also by the software being black box for everyone outside of USA / Lockheed-Martin.

Just ship it, it will be someone else's problem

yeah, but at this point it's weird they just don't grab a studio, give them a funding for 2 years and say them 'copy the latest indie trends with a tad more polish' and let them cook to see what comes out.

They tried that, e.g. "EA Originals"[0] is basically that (there are similar programs at other major publishers). I suspect it proved to not be a big money maker at the scale required to move the needle at publishers of that size., and that they are keeping these on as a sort of prestige programs.

While I agree with some of your points in the thread, Paris is a pain to cross, whatever the direction.

The article opens up with a glaring mistake:

> Paris, 15th April 2019, 6:43pm.

> Inside the ancient cathedral all is quiet.

The fire started during the mass, so not fully silent. And a first fire alarm had already been sounded 20 min earlier.


Stormfront users wouldn't have really been relevant for the FSF. But on a platform like Twitter, which isn't mono-subject like the Stormfront forums, would have been relevant for an organization like FSF.

And personally the few people I follow there (mostly game devs) are totally worth talking to.


Maybe if you include all the eggs in processed food like cookies or cakes and in restaurants or other catering operations you reach that number? And eggs consumed at home could still be around 12 per person?

well, I tried to do the first day and I think it's an indictment of my own capabilities that I spent most of my day on the second part and still failed to get the correct result. That sort of programming is not something I've been doing at my current position, but still as programmer that has been working for a decade, that smarts a little.
