In addition to the other replies you got, if you’re interested there’s a book called It Came From Something Awful that explains a lot of internet history.
Checking in with a Ryzen 7600 and an Nvidia 2060. Runs fine no complaints, medium-high settings. I didn’t know there was outcry about poor optimization until I saw this article here.
If someone is a slave, there is no incentive to learn new skills.
I like EG, I like their dedication to NA and I want to see them succeed. But when was the last time they won a bo3 at any international event?

You could say it a lot, so people make sure you’re very human in design.
They’d probably be doing better if the cat let them use the goddamn boot!
I agree, but I struggle to put my finger on why. Is it their refusal to use any other words for Truman or The Truman Show? That read as really repetitive to me.
A lot of comedy/skit shows are like that. We take the good with the bad I guess
I know it’s not what you meant, but I giggled at the thought of James May in Texas with a big cowboy hat saying “oh cock”
The first example I thought of was Bill Gates. He amassed his wealth from a corporation that employed anti-competitive and immoral business practices. That makes him “bad”.
But what he has done with his fortune in the past few decades definitely doesn’t make him a bad person. Is his foundation and its goals the most efficient way to go from point A to point B? Probably not. Does that make him a bad person? Probably not, but it also doesn’t absolve him of sins he committed in the past.
“The dotcom bubble burst when capital began to dry up. In the years preceding the bubble, record-low interest rates, the adoption of the Internet, and interest in technology companies allowed capital to flow freely, especially to startup companies that had no track record of success.”
This is about 2001, but applies equally as well to 2023.
Rates needed to rise before it was going to come to pass.
Hey wait I’ve seen this one before!

To me it makes perfect sense that they are more granular during times when volatility is up and inflation is a concern. Otherwise everyone would be (rightfully) complaining that they are using outdated models when inflation needs to be gotten under control.
Besides, the new weighting is public. It didn’t change all that much. I’m not going to run the numbers but the napkin math says 1) it wouldnt significantly change the headline rate and 2) it wouldnt change what we take away: it’s artificially lowered by volatile items like gasoline, and underlying consistent categories are still too hot for the BoC. So while it’s true that the headline rate is “bullshit”, it’s not because they changed the weighting.
Changing the formula isn’t a problem, it changes all the time (and SHOULD change all the time). In my opinion the problem is the choice of headline from CBC. Even the article acknowledges the headline inflation rate is being influenced downwards by volatile items, and that economists as well as the BoC don’t really care what the headline rate is. All eyes are still on the underlying “warm” parts of more consistent categories.
True but the government can take legislative measures that would decrease inflation, and so it wouldn’t be necessary to raise rates.
Sorry I don’t follow Overwatch. Last I heard they scrapped the PvE part of the game?
