Said deputy shot and killed the man's 16 year old son days prior.

Bit of a correction. He was brought to the police station to be shown the body cam footage of his son being shot by police and on his way home he purposefully ran over a cop that was directing traffic. It wasn't the same cop who shot his son.

The industry is completely different now. The original was made in the 80s when programmers were hard to find and it took 10 of them 2 years and a million dollars to make. Then physical cartridges needed to be made and distributed that only ran on specialized hardware that also needed to be made and distributed. It selling for the equivalent of $180 could be justified since it was niche technology. There's a reason Biggie Smalls brags about owning a Super Nintendo and a Sega Genesis in a rap song. That shit was expensive even in 1994.

Today, someone can make Super Mario Bros 3 in a month after watching some game dev tutorials on YouTube, upload the .exe to Steam, and sell limitless copies to anyone who owns a computer. Selling it for $180 would be ridiculous. There's no reason tech today should cost the exact same as it did in the 80s.

In Baldur’s Gate 3, if you romance the warrior Lae'Zel, you need to pass a strength check if you want to be the top.

This room is giving me uncanny valley vibes. The thing plugged into the old TV looks too modern, like a Wii maybe? There are antlers scattered around the room. The room has what looks like painting equipment but without definition. The chair on the stairs would look strange if it weren't for the idea it's there for painting. The wall behind the chair has weird patterns and the banister doesn't reach the bottom of the stairs. Is this AI?

Kojima putting a game about purgatory into purgatory. Bravo! He's done it again!

This seems like a version of the Liar paradox. Assume "this statement is false" is true. Is the statement true or false?

There are a bunch of ways to break the paradox, but they all require using a system that doesn't allow it to exist. For example, a system where truth is a percentage so a statement being 50% true is allowed.

For this question, one way to break the paradox would be to say that multiple choice answers must all be unique and repeated answers are ignored. Using that rule, this question only has the answers a) 25%, b) 60%, and c) 50%, and none of them are correct. There's a 0% chance of getting the correct answer.

I make higher than the median salary working at a factory. I left a job that required a college degree and professional licence that payed less than what I do now. Higher education requirements doesn't always mean higher pay. You might just need to find a unionized factory. The lowest wage at my workplace is $25/hr (CAD). Local minimum wage is $17.20/hr and median wage is $21.83/hr.

Honestly, I think they could run literally anybody and they'll eventually win government. Canadians will only allow the Liberals to win so many times before deciding it's someone else's turn.

A major part of being an MBA is coming up with words for stuff everyone already knows.

My work has "gemba walks" which is where managers leave their office and ask employees if there are any issues that need to be addressed. They also practice "5S" which is where they make sure the tools workers need to do their job are located near where the job is done. Might as well practice "kawaya" or the idea that employees are provided areas to relieve themselves instead of pissing in bottles.

I don't think much would change. Prosecutors already weed out sympathetic jurors during selection and a non-sympathetic jury wouldn't nullify even if they knew they could.
