Donald Trump and promising people money you'll never actually pay out.

The scientific definition of life changes constantly, but viruses more often than not fall under "not alive."

Throughout, viruses have rarely been considered alive. More than 120 definitions of life exist today, and most require metabolism, a set of chemical reactions that produce energy. Viruses do not metabolize. They also don’t fit some other common criteria. They do not have cells. They cannot reproduce independently. Viruses are inert packages of DNA or RNA that cannot replicate without a host cell.

It'd also be technically true to say "Elon Musk, CEO and self-proclaimed founder of Tesla..."

but I thought that might 1) contain too many spoilers (though I doubt there’s many people that haven’t played it)

I actually appreciate that. I only finished New Vegas for the first time last week, just before Echoes of Wisdom came out. Was worried you'd finish before me and I'd end up seeing something spoilery.

At least Microsoft hasn't announced a marginally improved $700 pro console that doesn't even come with the disk drive.

Yet.

Confirmed fake, unfortunately:

Update: It’s since been confirmed that the profile attributed to John Carpenter is fake. We’ll keep this post live to avoid 404 errors. Sadly, the posts outlined below really are too good to be true, and weren’t written by the horror maestro himself.

So original flavor dew dogs are ok?

It depends on where, but it can be quite a bit. Typically goes towards road maintenance and whatnot.

Ironic, considering how much gasoline is taxed.

Why are we getting remasters for games that already look great on PS5? There are plenty of games that could actually use the touch up, and don't run natively on current-gen at all.

It feels like Sony is sitting on a goddamn gold mine.
