There is a villain in the web book/serial Worm whose superpower is the ability to create "time bubbles" that loop whatever amount of time the villain wants.

They commonly fuck someone up badly, then right before they die, "loop them" so that person dies over and over again, forever.

Yeah, skip me with the minute shit.

Making soup and then dumping out the soup seems like a very stupid way to make soup.

Maybe they feel better from not eating all of those simple, delicious calories.

IGN bought them a couple of years ago.

Besides locking down the charities, they also increased the "minimum to get all of it" price for bundles to $25, and made it so the "minimum" tip to Bundle is $7.50, up from $1. They also hid the charity sliders behind more obscure UI elements so people mostly forget that selecting the share of the bundle going to charity was a big part of the experience.

The furry artist was responding to someone saying his "hobby" was embarrassing. He posted the balance to show that his "hobby" is actually a very profitable business.

It's a brag, but a provoked one.

You know the episode of DS9 where Sisko and Garrick commit war crimes?

It's like that episode, the show.

The scale is different. Dynamics is mainly an ERP like Sage or SAP. It's something you could coordinate the movement of millions of goods through, and tens of thousands of people.

Access is a database with a GUI that you can slap more GUIs onto at your own peril. Dynamics is an iteration of " Microsoft Great plains" that was turned into an unholy monstrosity to compete with Oracle/IBM, etc

You will spend millions of dollars deploying it. It will both be bewildering too much and not enough.

That's just Benadryl, but cheaper.

At least you found a way to cut down on ammo costs.

No, no, it's "AI training data" now. Fully legal, somehow.

Not "chemical warfare," but maybe in the same genre of "chemical fuck you" as mace/pepper spray.

Drastically different products. Its basically a full ERP with a full CRM build in. It massively outsizes Access, a DB/DBMS, in both complexity and abject stupidity.

Of course, but you're already immortal in a TNG world. Transporters can easily modify your body to give you eternal youth, and of course cure any disease or injury. Just make sure your brainwaves/synapses are updated in near real time and refresh the rest of the body daily.

Why no one actually opts for it is beyond me.
