The son's name was Fred Finger, and he died unmarried in his 40's due to complications from AIDS.

The guy above was joking.

Fortunately that doesn't work.

Even if Musk totally shut down Twitter, then opened an identical platform named X, the contracts Twitter held are still enforceable under the law.

There might be stipulations in the contracts where severance isn't payable if the company fails, but if I remember correctly, this severance is something mandated by state law, and not just a contractual perk.

So bottom line, Musk is liable unless his lawyers are able to worm their way into a settlement.

It really is a big move, since it likely cost them millions in early sales.

I probably would have bought it already if I couldn't find a crack, but now I can pirate and wait for a nice sale.

I'm sure I'm not the only one.

You can just click the checkbox for "Copy crack to install directory" to get the installer to do everything for you.

I'm not sure why that isn't the default.

Do you keep the game if you get the "Deluxe Upgrade" on GamePass? Or do you have to keep paying the subscription if you want to play?

Which GPU did you get?

And also, the "early access" is just a way to get people to pay more for the game in the first week.

By all reasonable standards, the game has been fully released.

"Pre-ordering piracy"... What does that even mean?

I don't know why you'd want to rent the game if you've already got the cracked copy, but I would be surprised if the save files were any different between the two platforms.

If they used SMS those records are still around.

Or did they use something else?

Maybe 30 years ago.

But in the last 20 years there has been a lot of of funding towards prevention and researching a cure.

An HIV vaccine has proven itself to be an extremely elusive target.

But with recent developments in biotechnology, it may not be much longer before we finally have get one.

And by they, you mean the right wind politicians in power.

The people who vote for them are constantly voting against their immediate interests.

If we had some sort of ranked choice, a lot of these one-issue voters might actually have a choice in their representation. Which would be good for all of us.

 

I've got a working setup from about 2 months ago on my PC.

Has the overall experience on PC improved enough to warrant me diving into the latest mods and settings?

So far I've just updated Yuzu to the latest EA build.
