I don’t know why you’re getting down voted, inflation and wage growth are two different things. Inflation is around targeted levels, which is good. Wage growth still being low or suppressed isnt great, but a different matter.

Its true that getting inflation under control doesn’t fix high relative prices, but it does stop them from getting higher.

Haha, you beat me to it. I think it’s the world warning @TheBananaKing@lemmy.world

Haha, that’s fair I didn’t really vet the article as I’ve read about the concept and know it’s true (although as you point out only on a technical level).

Oddly enough I do actually think a charged battery is heavier, just as a full hard drive is heavier. But not to a degree that would matter.

You don’t have to use the app, the website is fine. However, with dominos if you aren’t using one of their coupon “deals” you’re overpaying for their food.

Their whole gimic is how the “coupons” save you money, but it’s not fast food prices without them.

That’s like 50% of all tip calculations nowadays. It’s really obnoxious and feels like it’s trying to make you feel guilty for tipping an appropriate amount, but taxes and service charges aren’t part of the service.

Who is even asking for this? The article makes it sound like people have been demanding a sequel, while I can’t recall the last time someone even mentioned this movie.

Haha, thanks! I always mess those words up.

They were both great movies in my opinion. I think the the biggest factor here is that there is a larger audience for Inside Out 2.

These models are also already open sourced, you can’t stop it. Additionally all of those “requirements” would just mean that AI would only be owned by big corporations.

All I’m hearing is jailtime for Tina Belcher and her erotic friend fiction!

But seriously, i generally agree that as long as people aren’t sharing it shouldn’t be a problem. If I can picture it in my head without consequence, seems kinda silly putting that thought on paper/screen should be illegal.

Additionally, and probably most importantly, Luke actually isn’t strong enough to defeat the emperor at the end. He losses. However, he wins over his father and that’s what turns the tide.

Similarly, while Anikan has some mary sue moments, he has a far share of losses (chase for Padme’s would be assassin, count doku fight, Obi-Wan fight, etc.)

I think the only time Rey “losses” a battle is in force awakens when she gets captured (but even after being captured she overpowers Ben almost immediately).

When getting sushi in the US it’s not uncommon to get, at least in my opinion, non bite sized pieces. Like the super deluxe roll with 15 things in it isn’t going to be bite sized. However, I don’t believe that’s typical when getting sushi in Japan.

Discworld would be a good example of fantasy that doesn’t follow this trope (pretty sure in that world anyone can study magic, but like everything else that doesn’t mean everyone is good at it).

I really do wonder what might have been if it released before, rather than after, The Last Jedi. I only ended up seeing it because I got to go to a free screening with the new chewie, and it was a fun movie. I think at least on par with the prequels, but certainly more felt more “star wars” then the Sequels.

I liked that they (the prequels) expanded the world of star wars and felt fun and fantastical (as I imagine the original triology felt when it came out). The Sequels tried to be too dark and moody in my opinion.

Given his follow-up responses he seems to generally believe what he said (or at least upholding the joke?). I mean I kinda get the notion that we shouldn’t take advantage of people, but Mike made the competition himself. The guy asking to be paid isn’t taking advantage, he’s asking for what Mike promised him.

Not sure if you’ve watched the office, but the top picture is Jim, one of the main characters. For most of the first few seasons he’s pursuing another character Pam. In the top picture he’s revealing to the audience he’s going to propose to Pam and makes it out that it’ll be this big thing, however it ends up happening at a gas station (due to a moment where they are long distance).

A counterpoint to that is things like batteries, ram, motherboards, etc. in laptops (and pretty much every other device that uses rechargeable batteries). The fact is that for better designs the batteries are probably not going to be easily standardized in electric cars (also kills innovation).

PC motherboards aren’t trying to use the least amount of space possible, because desktops can be large. The same isn’t true with cars, the space matters.

So basically what the sequel trilogy should have been? Why can’t we just jump to another era of star wars. Give me the old republic or jump 100 years into the future where Rey, Luke, etc. have become legends used to build up the story.
