NASA's 2 stuck astronauts face more time in space with return delayed until at least late March
  • I looked up astronaut pay and it says it's between $100-180,000. Somewhat depressing that people can make more sitting in their house writing code working remote than someone who is risking their life on space missions. I guess you do get food and housing paid for that whole time, but wow.

  • Player two has entered the lobby
  • And electric car parts. It's an engineering / machining company, you would be very hard pressed to find any companies like it that don't work with the largest source of funding in the world

  • Player two has entered the lobby
  • This isn't :(

    I understand that we are angry, BUT we know nothing about this guy -- the company seems like a small niche manufacturing business. The guy isn't some super elite C-suite executive, he's just a high-level manager/director. Maybe he was an asshole. Don't know if he is guilty of anything though

  • Balatro dev: Talked with PEGI and they do not see anything wrong Balatro being rated 18+, nor with EA sports FC (and similar games) having a 3+ rating
  • The reasoning in question:

    This game teaches - by way of images, information and gameplay - skills and knowledge that are used in poker. During gameplay, the player is rewarded with ‘chips’ for playing certain hands. The player is able to access a list of poker hand names. As the player hovers over these poker hands, the game explains what types of cards the player would need in order to play certain hands. As the game goes on, the player becomes increasingly familiar with which hands would earn more points. Because these are hands that exist in the real world, this knowledge and skill could be transferred to a real-life game of poker

    So, this game teaches skills and knowledge that are used in poker. The skills in knowledge are limited to... playing and making poker hands. That's it. Also, "as the game goes on, the player becomes increasingly familiar with which hands would earn more points" -- is hilariously funny. The idea that knowledge of what a poker hand is is anything related to the dangers of gambling is ridiculous.

    They're making takedown claims
  • well 1. he could be defended legally -- it's still not certain that he is even the shooter. The police and media have worked together and released lots of information on their side framing him as the criminal, but -- not unlike https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Jewell -- trial by media is not a verdict. Does the evidence hold up? All we have seen are pictures of the person of interest, pictures of Luigi, and statements that certain items were received. Without actual footage of the scenario, testimony, etc. it's totally possible that things aren't what they seem.
