I would say that map size never was “most important”, at least not to the players, they’ve been complaining about huge but empty maps for years (the poster child of this, AC Odyssey was released in 2018, six years ago). It was just something devs and publishers pushed to one up each other in some kind of “bigger = better” way.

Looks like htop.

Obviously houses are owned by someone, either people, corporations, public entities. Home ownership usually refers to the share of people owning the homes they live in.

And then he dies from the awfulness of Borderlands 4 instead of cancer, I’m not sure what’s better.

Yeah, the digital price only goes down for sales, otherwise even years after release you’re paying full price. With discs you can buy from whatever store you want and usually prices go down a lot within a year (which you should wait anyway because games are too buggy at release).

“Fake” interviews with dead people is surprisingly a common thing in journalism.

What’s the minimum crew requirement?

The report you picked excludes quite a lot of victims as it’s about intimite partner violence which it defines as:

The term, intimate partner violence, refers to any physical or sexual violence, stalking, and/or psychological aggression by a current or former dating partner or spouse.

For the full numbers not just for intimate partners you want this report https://www.cdc.gov/nisvs/documentation/nisvsReportonSexualViolence.pdf which confusingly has the same title. It states 2.3% of women raped in a 12 month timeframe and 0.3% of men being raped and 1.3% made to penetrate in the same timeframe, so 1.6% of men either raped or made to penetrate.

Those comparable numbers are only about the 12 months preceding the survey which is, while probably statistically significant, not the whole story.

How’s that relevant? It looks at one year and within that year the number of rape/made-to-penetrate victims is roughly equal for men and women. Unless there was something unusual happening that year or the same men are made to penetrate more often then women get raped, then if you extend the timeframe the numbers should change similarly for men and women.

side note: I don’t know how the article got numbers for “being made to penetrate” specifically, the CDC article doesn’t seem to specifically say it. maybe I skimmed it wrong.

From the 2011 study in the Results section:

For men, the lifetime prevalence of being made to penetrate a perpetrator was an estimated 6.7% (>7.6 million men), while an estimated 1.7% of men were made to penetrate a perpetrator in the 12 months preceding the survey.

How is gamer defined here? I don’t have access to the full report but apparently it mentions Candy Crush, so I wonder how the statistics would look like if you removed games like that.

Probably not, because Israel is a full member of CERN, Russia was only an observer.

Between AI and shitcoin mining, these two “technology branches” already consume more power than all the green power added to the grid combined.

And your sources? I only did a cursory search, and according to the IEA data centers are responsible for somewhere in the range of 2-6% of electricity demand. Renewables are currently around 30% globally.

The parties in the NFP already said that they’ll initiate a motion of no confidence for Barnier.

Hashcash isn’t “cryptocurrency”.

Macron’s Ensemble Coalition plus Barnier’s Les Républicains don’t have a majority in the National Assembly. By choosing a prime minister from a right wing party one could argue that Macron hopes for the support from Le Pen’s far-right Rassemblement National with which he officially doesn’t want to cooperate, otherwise there could soon be a vote of no confidence and back to square one.

If it’s bland and unexciting then it fits very well into Disney Star Wars and Disney should be very happy about it being so on brand.

Sony shuts down all of their Japanese studios and redirects their efforts into developing “cinematic” experiences to appeal to western gamers

They shut down Japan Studio, that’s a name, they still have studios in Japan.

Yeah, it’s the wrong generation and has a little too much power, the closest would probably be a 3060 which was available shortly after the launch of the PS5. But it was still more than half the price of a PS5 and you need more than a GPU for a computer.

Whenever I open Nano basically all the commands it has are listed at the bottom, for small things it’s perfectly fine.

Oh, I was talking about driving with a controller.
