Biden was even more than the presidential candidate, he is the sitting president. A presidential debate between a president and a presidential candidate makes perfect sense, no?

general election debate details cannot be finalized until Democrats formally decide on their nominee

Presidential debates happen between presidential candidates. Democrats don't have a presidential candidate yet. But they will by the end of the DNC on August 22nd.

Jesus, 18%.

If you had a $200k mortgage, you would be paying $3,000 in just interest every month. And that's assuming you get the central bank rate, you don't. Probably looking more at like 20% for a loan an individual can actually get.

Good luck opening or expanding a business with rates like that too.

I feel like this post belongs on [email protected] with absolutely zero changes. Just.....the complete disaster that would occur if the ERA ever actually triggers here....

Agreed. Keep the smelly stuff in your own house or outside. Also, you are at a meeting specifically about people trying to get over a drug addiction. Don't do drugs there.

This seems like a classic use case for a spreadsheet. A good free one is Libre Office (or if you really want an online one, google sheets).

Put your items/prices into a pair of columns, and put a SUM function in the field below the prices to show the total.

Yep, the vast majority of the games I buy at this point are coming from indies.

The main issue is large studios want to make a safe game that does everything and appeals to everyone. Meanwhile, indies are making games that are fun-first and targeted at specific audiences, rather than just the mean.

Games like Factorio could be made by a big studio, but it wasn't, because it don't have mass appeal. Meanwhile, if you are in it's target audience, it is a 10/10 game. And it isn't like the studio had to shovel $200m into a pit to make this 10/10 game.

Yep. It leads to a positive feedback loop. They just continue to self-reinforce whatever came out before.

And with increasing amounts of the internet being polluted with AI text output....

You can always add "site:lemmy.world" to your search (remove the quotes). I commonly do that, as well as the same for reddit or stack overflow.

On Ukraine, got any non twitter suggestions for perspective?

not familiar with OSINT

Exactly what you said! Open Source INTelegence. Basically people taking publicly available data and using it to confirm attacks. Things like NASA FIRMS data can be used to verify where fires are; and when combined with videos of a fire in the direction of an airfield, for example, can be used to confirm that yes, on this specific date, these parts of an airfield are on fire.
