Puts are a derivative that is a contract for the right to buy an asset at a given price (the “strike price”) on a given Date.

Puts are rights to sell, not to buy. And with that, the rest of your post actually makes sense (you want to sell above market price).

We’ve thought that many times. But any time we reach the perceived limits, riskier or harder to get to sources just become economically viable to exploit.

Ah. The Disney defense.

It’s supposed to guarantee you can always catch up with them.

Anything that needlessly makes me repeat content I already beat or similarly wastes my time. Some examples are:

Fixed save points in general.

Unskippable cutscenes between the last fixed save point and the boss fight.

No autosave or fixed save point after a boss fight.

Preventing me from backtracking after I stumbled into a cut scene and/or boss fight because it wasn’t obvious which path led to a point of no return.

Oh, and no Play Station style controller glyphs. Come on, it’s an additional set of images, now hard can it be to implement?

So, am I the only one with terrible performance when booting from USB? Really long input lag, loading times, all that. I figured it wasn’t a big deal for installing once and occasional troubleshooting, but it’s not really representative of the normal experience booting from my ssd.

Maybe Gemini threatens the Google board? It could make their AI anime girlfriends break up with them.

Clair Obscur was all anybody gaming related talked about for weeks.

Why would they sell any hardware at a loss at all? Console manufacturers do it to lock people into their ecosystem and sell them games at a premium, Valve doesn’t need that, people are already overwhelmingly favoring their store.

Games used to be sold as a physical object containing the game files.

I can do that today too. I can buy from gog, download the installer an burn it to a DVD. I now own a physical object with the game files that gog or the game publisher can not easily take away from me. I’d still just own a license, not the game, and the license can be revoked. They just couldn’t really keep me from playing the game even after it was.

You need to understand the difference between having something in your possession and having the rights to it. You never owned any video game, even in the days of cartridges, they were always licenses.

Every controller I own (dual shocks, dual senses, 8bitdo’s, switch pros) lasts me an entire day of gaming at least. Plug them in at night and you’re good.

Is SMR somehow more expensive than older reactors per Watt?

Of course it is. Same fixed costs (e.g. safety, security) for less output. Economics of scale work against it, not for it, the same way one bus for 50 people is cheaper than 50 cars.

I’m on a 1080TI and Mint works like a charm.

That one hook on the key hanger is mine, and I will keep moving my GF’s keys to the next one every afternoon until she learns.

They could also ban such games from their platform, which would be a huge hit to studios implementing rootkits.

I happen to think it is, and indeed the GDPR sees it the same way. For EU residents. They have to delete your data if you ask them to, no special form requirements.

I may have forgotten my password, they may require additional personal data to let me log in again (which is why my PayPal account is still not deleted) their shitty page might be not loading in my browser of choice, or they recently decided I may not visit it with an ad blocker. It’s just a hoop to jump through to try and make people sigh and just not bother. In OP’s case they want to avoid additional third party tracking on the site, and that’s 100% valid.

If GDPR only protects people with EU passports, then it’s not universal rights - it’s privilege with a privacy logo.

And what do you think would happen if EU tried to enforce their laws in an interaction between two parties that both aren’t in the EU? If we did it, why shouldn’t any other country try and do the same? Better read up on Chinese law before you next do business with a company in, idk, France. Sound good?

It’s not about passports either. Move to Vienna or Prague and you may have better luck.

Apparently they did not delete their account because they don’t want to log in to do that.

Still, they obviously can’t know if the service in question would have treated an EU resident differently.

Socialist: Wants to replace capitalism entirely.[…]

Democratic Socialist: Wants to keep democracy

I don’t know if you meant it that way, but the two are not exclusive. Democracy does not require capitalism and vice versa. Some would argue capitalism is counter to democracy because the concentration of wealth is a concentration of power that needs to be avoided in democracy.

Socialism and even communism are originally deeply democratic ideas. Remember the soviet union? Of course Stalin just used it as a label, but *soviet means council. It should have been governed by a hierarchy of councils of increasing spheres of influence democratically deciding matters that concerned the people they represented (from city block council, factory council, […] up to national level). That was the original idea until the authoritarians took over.

You have the most powerful military in the world and basically are your allies’ (former) protective power. There is no outside help coming because (among other reasons of course) nobody is physically able to help you.
