It's really not, you have a buck reg on board already, it's just the peripherals that need 5v and for a lot of that you can use linear regs.

Oh God, that's far beyond my ability to address, that's like asking how to reverse entropy or end world hunger.

They'll find a way to distract and cover it up, but it's a fundamental problem, people love the classics universally and the long tail can swallow new content.

Eventually those classics will be priced in as more valuable than now, and God forbid we'll see them try to leverage them more as rebooted franchises :(

We love them because they make us feel like we felt when we were younger and enjoyed them, and brockmire was right about the power of nostalgia being second only to heroin.

People watch the old shows too much, way too much, they leave them on as background noise.

New shows get far less play unless they really catch on, so a lot of the money they're spending on new shows is just wasted.

Surprised a group of investors don't fund a streaming version of nick at nite, and buy exclusive access to all the 90s and 2000s shows. Everybody would almost need a subscription, but it probably wouldn't be profitable, rights to those are stupid expensive.

They're getting around it by playing metrics games with the viewing numbers and restricting access to the raw numbers, it was the biggest blocker to a deal, the streamers could not tolerate transparency.

It wasn't a good idea, but they not only made it work, it turned out to be better than expected (and I hated the thing).

We had a romance with the f14 from top gun and the f15 from other stuff, but we also learned that most of what they can do doesn't really matter at all.

It's like having the nicest, sharpest longsword and plate armor, when you're hunting a sniper armed with a 50cal.

If this thing sees you first (which it probably will, both because of stealth and excellent radar/EOTS), then it can probably kill you before you know it's there.

Short of a j20 or one of the handful of su57s there's nothing out there that really stands a chance head to head, or even 3:1 really.

They got their writers room but not much else, the raises are small, haven't seen anything about ai yet but still reading.

Edit: clever, they're getting around the "friends/office" problem I think. This was by far the biggest problem.

E2: kicking the ai can down the road, good.

All programs or motion pictures, including Library Content, made available or exhibited on the Pay Television Service and, therefore, made available on Max shall be treated as though exhibited on HBO’s over-the-top pay television service

That was interesting, but they probably didn't expect any better.

This is not an unfair deal, with the exception that the raw pay raise across the board was weak considering the inflationary landscape.

I'm not going to try to explain mission readiness, this is low, but the target is closer to 70%, so while it isn't great, it's not like it's half of what's expected.

Jets are complicated, they spend a lot of time in maintenance and inspection for each out of flight, its because they're optimized for performance while passenger jets are optimized for endurance, safety and cost.

F35s are terrible jets for peacetime, as are most fighter jets. For combat they're probably a lot better, they're basically f16s with worse maneuverability, but better range, sensors, weapons and of course stealth, 1 f35 is worth at least 3 f16s.

But even this doesn't matter, the next generation will be 80% drones, drones have phenomenal mission readiness ratings, often 90% or higher.

God damnit...

You know, it's funny, russia actually put bounties on dead American soldiers in Afghanistan.

Figure they need a chance to see how it's really done :)

We're getting dead invader trash.

That's a bargain, and we're buying more.: )

In other news, popcorn and confetti sales skyrocketing!

Suddenly boomers believe in a massive increase to social security taxes to pay for them.

I look forward to watching them die off.
