This is not even remotely new.

I don't much go in for the mommy blog nonsense. My kids are vaccinated. We do enjoy many of the conveniences modern chemistry and industry have to offer, but some years ago when I was reading about BPA replacements we switched to all glass or bare metal food containers at home and a strong preference for brands that come in glass from the store(or preferably no package at all). Never once have I regretted the extra expense or prep work.

Without getting into the weeds of arbitration—if you want to sue Valve for some reason, you now have to file in King county, Washington. This makes it too expensive to be worth it for any amount less than the cost of flying to and staying in Seattle for a lawsuit. Even if you're right and Valve is wrong.

Amazon recently did this too and it worked out well for them I guess, since other companies seem to have followed suit.

Some people are just determined to make it difficult to believe humanity is worth saving.

Not only did you not read the article, but you apparently don't know that much about TMI either. There are multiple reactors at TMI, the one that had the accident is not the one they're restarting.

The one they're restarting shut down a few years ago, along with several other nuclear plants, due to being too expensive to compete on cost with all the cheap gas post fracking boom.

Yes, for reasons passing understanding the state and federal government allowed existing, functional nuclear plants to close in favor of natural gas plants.

The kind that takes more than 2 months to 'complete'. From the perspective of the earth it makes a horseshoe shape. From the 'temporary moon' perspective it gets a trajectory adjustment on its solar orbit.

It's more like a gravity assist that takes 2 months to complete than an orbit.

This game was on track to be forgotten

Game is just outside the top 50 on steam and had a major content release at the end of June. This 'game is dying'-because-it-didn't-indefinitely-sustain-player-counts-in-the-top-10 meme is dumb as hell.

My favorite implication of these kinds of posts is that windows somehow doesn't ever have driver issues.

Guys selling something claim it will make you taller and thinner, your dick bigger, your mother in law stop calling, and work as advertised.

Honestly AAA studios don't even exist anymore. Is there any gaming studio making multipe $60 games per year you can name where you would vouch for the quality of their games solely on the basis of who made it?

Maybe some first party console games(and even then only some series), but nothing for PC.
