Half the time in these stories it comes out the parents/relatives/friends happen to actually be experts in the field and work at some high level place where the teens in question just happened to have access to cutting edge resources and 'guidance'.
Years ago, probably.. 2006 or 2007, Microsoft had some kind of deal online where you could get Age of Empires 3 for 99 cents, it wasn't that old at the time. Bought it on my hotmail back in the day, but lost that when Microsoft decided they desperately needed to wipe e-mails for people.
I forgot my hubble space telescope at home, how can you see anything in that photo? is there actually any photos of people wearing the various uniforms that can be seen with the naked eye?
Most of us are aware how geoblocks are one more reason people nudge towards piracy. Well, I didn’t knew that companies imposed geoblocks even on free content.
The worst part is when they geo-block accessibility. Netflix likes to make subtitles regional. In their mind no one ever moves to another part of the world to a country where they aren't 100% fluent in the language. Doesn't happen. I'm assuming their execs don't hire any staff in their mansions that aren't completely bilingual. You compare this to something like Disney and Apple who have a subtitle list a mile long on every show, Netflix will just heavily region restrict and even restrict subtitle availability by profile language. Lived in Korea, on my english profile Korean subtitles were available. A month after moving to an English speaking country, Korean subtitles disappeared from my profile (on the android TV app, they're still there in Desktop view, sometimes). A korean profile on the same android TV app? Korean is a choice. Their android TV app just cuts off several subtitle options for no reason.
Yeah, they claim it's because of 'local distributors' to that region not giving them the subtitles, but I know, for example, that Korean movies are 99.5% always released on DVD, even in Korea with English subtitles. Yet in Korea, half the Korean content wouldn't have English subtitles, yet in other markets it did. Ironic that my spouse and I find it easier to consume Korean content outside of Korea than inside Korea.
You see this on youtube as well. Inside Korea a lot of movies are available through youtube with Korean subtitles embedded on them. They're cheap too, Often you can get new movies for under $5 (purchased, not rented), older ones can often be around $1. Same movie in another country, no subtitle, or certainly not Korean subtitles. Youtube has native subtitle support and they don't use it. At least we can VPN into Korean youtube and purchase things.
Amazon is bad for it. If you go into a show and look at the subtitles some of them are clickable. Meaning it searches by that subtitle language to show you more content that has that language as a subtitle. Problem is their subtitles are regional and they don't filter based on region. So when you search for Korean you might get 100 results with less than 30% actually having Korean subtitles. But they return the result because they have Korean subtitles in another region. My guess is in the US or Japan as Korea does not have it's own Amazon region since they don't operate there.
Disney plays its own games. Extraordinary season 2 is missing most of the Asian subtitles that were available for season 1. So we can't pick that up even though we enjoyed season 1.
Being a multicultural family and trying to consume content legitimately is exhausting to be honest.
Easy. The first time this question was asked on Reddit. like 40+ times in the last year alone. Why? Just be curious what it would be like to read this question for the first time.
Cain appreciated the performances and storytelling, but singled out how the show nailed the Fallout “vibe” as its biggest achievement. “I was just looking at all the props,” he said of one scene. “I realized after a few minutes went by that I had not followed the dialogue at all, because I was so engrossed by it...
I really enjoyed it, but there was certain aspects that were missing. Despite the flashbacks, I don't know if they really captured the tone of the world before the bomb. There was a lot of absurdity in the inter-office e-mails that you'd read in a lot of POIs that really made it feel quite different from what was shown.
I think the reveal of the experiments at the end was a good easter egg, but if someone was watching this who wasn't familiar with vaults, it would have been too late for them to realise exactly what was going on in 31,32,33, even 4, and put that all together close to the final scene of the show.
The only reason they got 'protection' is because the tech isn't good enough now. Their protection only lasts as long as they're better than AI. As soon as AI writes as good, or better than them, studios won't care about any agreements. They can strike all night and day, it will change nothing because they'll have them replaced.
They aren't really talking about a ban. They're talking about introducing 'kids phones'.
Korea essentially solves this with their ID system. It doesn't matter what the phone is, its the owner that is inherently an adult or a child. Since all sign ups require you verify your identity through your phone, when someone puts in their name and phone number on a site, the site connects to a database and can verify if it's an adult or child's phone and whether or not it belongs to them since it asks the database if the name and number supplied to the phone matches.
Unless they're going to start arresting kids under 16 because they have an 'adult' phone, this seems pretty pointless.
Plainclothes Chicago police officers fired nearly 100 gunshots over 41 seconds during a traffic stop that left one man dead and one officer injured, according to graphic video footage a police oversight agency released Tuesday....
From the video: The 26 year old was already facing illegal gun charges and if the cops found the gun he'd be going back to jail.
Plainclothes Chicago police officers
At least one clearly had a vest on marked POLICE
It's very likely they ran the plates, knew he was up on weapons charges, saw him not wearing a seatbelt and used that as a pretence to pull him over. End of the day he was a criminal doing criminal things who shot a cop first.
What patch? The guy in the car was up on illegal weapon charges and illegal carrying a weapon. He didn't shoot because he didn't know who they were. He shot because he didn't want to go back to jail.
Clearly you already live in a fantasy world if you think a criminal illegally possessing a weapon simply shot out of 'self defence' when faced with returning to jail. No one was running up on him when he shot. They were backing off, clear as day in the video. The mental gymnastics people will go through to defend violent criminals is absolutely sad.
That doesn't appear to be a patch. Unless the prison comes with 24 hour massage and blow job service, very few criminals are ever going to want to go to jail. There is no fixing that. Maybe instead of trying to defend someone who would rather shoot at cops than face his illegal actions you could spend that effort teaching people like that not to be like that.
I notice that you didn't accuse the person who claimed he fired in self defence of having psychic powers. Maybe if your bias was so blatant I wouldn't take everything you said as a giant trolling joke.
The audio isn’t all that clear but i heard a returning: “what is going on?” And a lack of an answer followed by excessive firearm usage.
Then you aren't listening that close or watching the video at all. They repeatedly tell him to stop rolling up the window and get out. The first thing you hear him say is 'okay okay' at 0:21. After he says okay okay, they back off to give him space to step out and he then he turns and shoots the cop on the passenger side.
I have a feeling this person, same as the black guy from another video that refused to stop as he was convinced cops came to execute him
He was a felon up on illegal weapons charges who had an illegal weapon. Trust facts, not your feelings.
All the bodycams have been released. There is absolutely no evidence that any of the cops fired before Reed. You can see almost all the cops in the one angle in the article. The rest of the angles don't show it any different. There is also the angle of the cop who got shot on the other side. It's clear as day that Reed fired first.
