I was on an accidental EA boycott between Mass Effect 3 and It Takes Two.

Not for any ideological reason, they just stopped publishing games I wanted to play.

Linked In: Facebook for people who want to return to the office.

Why not pay builders a fair wage then?

It's certainly not labour costs driving up house prices.

Just stick .ml with hexbear and grad on your blocklist and move on.

When has any really rich person ever gone "you know what? I actually have enough now..."?

Not being in Lincolnshire would probably be the best bet.

OK, we'll make it simple then.

If you make a self driving car and it kills a pedestrian, then you give the family of the victim $50 million, and a seat on the board. Forever. Every decision you make from then on will be looking into the faces of the people whose lives you destroyed, while they turn down your bonuses.

Also, I don't believe for one second that a self driving car is safer than somebody who should legally be behind the wheel of a car. If the sun is in your eyes, you slow down. If you can't see the conditions ahead, you slow down.

I wouldn't care. I hope my wife and family would.

"He died for a good cause: Tesla's stock price" is not what they want to hear.

If I'm get killed by a driver on their phone, I want them to go to prison.

If I'm killed by a Waymo or whatever, who goes to jail then?

If we really must have self driving cars, limit their speed to 20mph in built up areas.

What they mean is, they haven't bothered to give schools the money to replace them.

A lot of older buildings around the world will probably have some lead in them still. Especially homes from the 60s and older. It's one of the reasons you shouldn't drink anything that comes from the hot tap.

Of course there's no excuse for not having replaced the service lines, and water pipes in public buildings. It's been at least 50 years since we realised putting lead in everything wasn't a great idea. But I guess that costs money, and those third world countries won't bomb themselves.
