So why do patients have to pay the fee, why doesn't the hospital have some system where they go oh yeah, this person with this registration plate has been admitted, leave them alone?

Why is it on the patient who may very well have a lot more going on than simple pain to arrange matters.

Because if I had overstayed my 3-hour limit I would have absolutely been charged. They use the excuse of needing to keep spaces open as an excuse to charge people. It's nothing more than exploitative.

I'm not sure any game involving Trump could be considered chess.

It gets somewhat retconned in the TV series though where he's basically just this political genius who secretly runs everything.

The TV show is a lot better than it has any right to be, it's a shame it only got one season.

This is nice to be confused with shit porn. Which is just not very good.

There's virtually no helium 3 on Earth, but that's not because we're using it up, it's because there was essentially never any really to begin with.

The moon has helium 3 on its surface so naturally that leads to the idea of mining the moon for the material. But there are no actual serious plans to do so, for one thing nobody knows how you would actually go about doing that. Besides there's practically no market for it, it's used in some fusion research but only a tiny quantity is required and that can be supplied with domestic supplies more or less forever, since it's possible to manufacture it from normal helium.

Well yeah of course it's optional already. If you don't want that then you just don't buy those games.

It's not a 4K capable graphics card though it's a 1080p capable graphics card that they're saying is 4K because of the existence of AI upscaling which I think is a cheat. So you're already overestimating the cards capability.

Extract the eyes of murder victims and VLC will show their final moments.

I had it once play a video recorded on an old Motorola razr circa 2004. It was this super obscure file format, that basically only this one phone used, and was never used on any other phone.

VLC didn't care, played it right out of the box without any problems.

It supports an obscure single use, 2004 video format. If aliens come to earth, VLC will be able to play their files too.

Surely the federal government doesn't actually have the authority to mandate this. Business regulations are always a state matter.

For most robots in factories the safety system is don't go near it. Because no one can guarantee that the robot will stop in time.

You don't know what you're talking about.

As much as I would love to go over to a purely Linux system there just isn't the support. I would not relish the prospect of trying to administer 5,000 laptops, and 300 desktops without the benefit of active directory user groups. Even with all of the messing about that Microsoft has done with Entra, it is still a far better mass device management platform than anything available on Linux and Apple haven't even tried.
