You should also know that because of jail and various other teleports, the orange group is the most popular group on the board. It’s something like 1.8 times the average to land on those spaces, because two of them are 6 and 8 spaces from jail. Jail is a very popular space because Go To Jail also counts as Jail.
Boardwalk has very high rents, but it’s also pretty unpopular to land on.
The worst rent-to-popularity values are yellow and green.
The dead sea scrolls are old manuscripts, including several Bible books, but they date after most of those books were written.
The dead sea scrolls date from 3rd century BCE to 1st century CE. At that time, most of the OT had been finalized. The value of the scrolls is that they are hard copies of these books that are a lot older than previous copies we had.
That oughta be pretty hilarious for anywhere that’s not on the northeast corridor.
Why not just have the app dynamically generate the static with random numbers every time. There is no video file of white noise, and bonus the bumper intro is never exactly the same twice.
(not a lawyer). If you bought the game copies that the AIs are playing, then it seems like you’re not making a copy of the game just to have the AI play it.
That kind of assumes that your AI is playing the game through a mechanism like AutoHotKey, generating keyboard or controller inputs that pass through the operating system to the game.
If your AI hooks into or modifies the game code to “play”, then it could run afoul of anti-reverse engineering clauses that are common in the click through license agreements. Those clauses may not be enforceable in your jurisdiction. Legal results on anti-reverse engineering clauses are kind of mixed in the United States.
Edit: for reference, there was a software called “Glider” that played World of Warcraft for you, so you don’t have to grind to level up. Blizzard absolutely hated the makers of Glider, but it stuck around for a long time, before it was ultimately sued into oblivion.
Here’s my guess. I don’t know anything about this particular device, but I have worked with medical devices.
A powered exo-skeleton sounds like it might be a class II medical device. Being a medical device, the OEM was required to produce a safety risk analysis per ISO 14971 in the EU and 21 CFR 820 in the US. I don’t know what all was listed, but probably one of the safety risks was thermal runaway from the (assumed) lithium ion batteries.
Lithium ion battery packs have a well known problem with occasionally overheating and catching fire. This famously delayed the launch of the 787 Dreamliner. This is also why you can’t put your phone or laptop battery into your checked luggage.
In the original risk analysis, there will be a number of mitigation steps identified for each hazard. For the lithium thermal runway, these probably include a mix of temperature monitoring, overheat shutdown, and passive design features in the battery pack itself to try to keep the impacts of over temperature and fire away from the patient.
So how does the price get to 100k? It could be some kind of unique design features that are now out of production and the original tooling is not available. The 100k cost is probably something like to redesign the production tooling, particularly if you have to remake injection molds.
You can’t just use any off the shelf battery pack, because that would invalidate the risk analysis. You’d need to redo the risk analysis, repeat at least some amount of validation testing, and possibly resubmit an application to the FDA.
TLDR: you can get some MEs and EEs together to solve this problem, but once they’re on the case, you can blow through 100k real fast.
How’s about you guys spend some of that budget on QA?
So seems like Iran intends this to be a one and done response for everything Israel has done the last few months.
i.e. “Please don’t escalate this any further. We prefer this level of escalation and no more.”
This chart doesn’t cover non-Jewish, same religion, heterosexual couples.
It used to be that 640K oughta be enough for anyone.
And like the text says they really were useless in a practical sense because of the white surrender-and-truce flag tradition.
Are these hippo sprint speeds, or real proper endurance speeds?
This is why you would get on the plane and push back from the gate and wait even when there was no chance of taking off. The crews were at least on the clock that way.
The massive tarmac delays only ended because of a DOT regulation.
For those who haven’t kept track, Trump ordered the assassination of the top IRGC general when he was President. It’s a decent motive for the Iranians to dislike Trump.
For those who didn’t know, the previous standard that still applies to pilots is that paid time runs from parking brake release to parking brake set. In fact, the aircraft parking brake is usually connected to a time clock computer system.
A typical domestic duty day might run for 14 hours, but only include 4 to 6 hours of paid flying. The rest of that time is preflight and post flight duty, including safety checks, managing catering, flight planning (for pilots), and a whole lot of waiting around in airports for the next connection.
If the boarding time pay is really only the boarding period, that’s just a small part of it.
Foreign nationals, let alone foreign governments, are not allowed to give money to political campaigns in the United States. Actually illegal. Bill Clinton got in trouble for it
If you can prove that an NFT scheme was foreign campaign money laundering in court, people can go to jail.
Most places in the US will have nothing about severance written down anywhere, but it’s very common to actually pay severance in a mass layoff situation (unless the whole business is going under).
Most games I’ve seen, nobody ever horse trades for color groups.
Complex deals and negotiations, land swaps, leveraged buyouts, and free rent passes, are all supposed to be part of the game. Getting a color group solely by landing on the spaces first and buying them for list price is indeed rare, by design.
This leads to my other pet peeve… You’re not supposed to have enough money to go around the board the first time and buy every space you land on at the list price. You’re supposed to be forced to make strategic decisions from the beginning of the game about what you go for, and what you bid in the auctions.
Most of the made up “house rules” are really about circulating more money into the game than is supposed to be there.
