I am really looking forward to this. Trailer shows a bit too much for me. Wtf was with that person's arm, hat octopus mermaid thing? The holes in their arms creeped me out!

Interesting that the ship seems like it can both hover and go under water / through the tar.

Maybe not the same, as its more of a service contract. At work, we have had a site which has been closed for 2 years. for 2 whole years, every week the vending machine company arrive, try to get in, can't, ring us, and we say "that site is closed".

Well we finally after 2 years got them to remove that site from their system?

Their response? to remove ALL food from ALL vending machines at all our sites, to remove the coffee machines, and to remove the water coolers. The water coolers are especially egregious, as they just sit there doing nothing. they are from tap water, so not even replacing bottles etc.

Sometimes subscriptions are useful. I wish the BBC TV licence in the UK was a subscription. I cannot justify spending £150 on a licence for an entire year, just to watch a month of shows. but other times it sucks. I just want Microsoft office. I don't care if it will cost me £200. Right now my favourite game is subscription based, but i don't think i can justify the £9.99 a month, or £50 for a whole year. £50 for lifetime access? maybe.

people always say this, but 95% of what i print is index and reference cards that need colour :( I would love to get a B&W printer, but i need the colours.

Yes. Co-worker got a super cheap printer, and then tried to cancel the ink subscription. turns out he couldn't just buy ink from them, and his printer was useless.

Love how foxhole has gone for exactly the same art as last time

To me though, that is not what twitter was for. It was for getting news about events from various places, not from a narrow echo chamber.

I looked at Mastodon maybe a year and a half ago, and was like "wait, it's all just for one subject, it's like discord, but somehow worse"

Those things are not good. They are basically advanced fans. The entire "hot side" is still 8naode your house, and whole it has the hose to pump hot air out, essentially more air (normally from outside, which will be hot) has to come in to replace it. Ultimately thosw machines will make your house hotter, even if they are able to blow cold air on a specific area.

Strangely the old American style ones they hang out of a window are some.of the most effective, though we don't really have any windows like that in Europe anymore to hang those AC units out.

Ah I see you work in my work places wage and bonus calculation department.

Utter shocked Pikachu face. its a concept that has been around for 100 years, and no-one did it before for a big reason.
