Kubrick did more compelling practical effects with matte backgrounds, invisible wires and dudes in monkey suits in 1968.

Modern Hollywood would rather film everything in a greenscreen closet and then "fix" it in post. The result is uninspired garbage that doesn't look good in any era.

Watch crypto miners will be trying to build LHCs in their yard with asinine electricity costs to make a few micrograms of gold.

It fucked them because it locked them into Harris, who was also a uniquely awful candidate. It screwed voters out of having a meaningful primary with real debate about issues.

Please at least just phase it out instead of immediate elimination.

Eliminating it at this time would mean there is a pretty large demo who want to go full EV or at least PHEV for their next vehicle but they won't be able to as easily.

For example if you're driving a late 90s or early 2000s car, you practiced austerity and deferred maintenance over the last decade to survive financially and/or build savings, your current vehicle may be on its last leg.

This means that during that time, your tax money subsidized a bunch of rich douchebag early adopters to get themselves a Tesla Plaid, and now it's finally your turn to dip a reluctant toe into the new car market, and for your trouble you get tariff-induced price hikes and evaporating EV credits.

Is this to me counteract the Migswitch specifically?

Seems like a load of crap either way.

He would disappoint their expectations by not having enough length to fill even half of the hand tunnel.

It's more like Advance Wars with individual characters instead of troop units.

You could try Animal Well. Dark yet pastel-oriented colorschemes. Minimal "combat" but more of a puzzle and exploration style of gameplay. More mysterious than scary. Mild peril. Not romantic in the slightest, but very original.

It remains profitable for scammers who use malware botnets consisting of other peoples computing power and electricity.

Back in 2017 there was also the framework of an agreement to have the US help develop and profit from gold and rare-earths in Afghanistan.

I'll leave you to speculate how that turned out.

This place was skeevy as fuck (even by strip club standards) when I was there about 10 years back. One of the girls legit seemed to be having a mental episode and wasn't making sense, claimed she knew me, and kept trying to talk to me. I left the club entirely after about 25 minutes.
