After 30+ years of decals and wraps being the way to decorate arcade and pinball cabinets, Spooky Pinball reintroduced direct-printing, known as "butter cabs"[1]. Although this time via large inkjet-type printers.
Just like the screenprinted Atari cabinets, it's worth seeing the Spooky butter cabs in-person. While decals have come a long way in fidelity and application, there's a feeling of satisfaction when the image is part of the object, rather than on the object.
they often argue that allowing something in one state, even limited to that state, impacts commerce in other states. I think they would use a similar argument here.
If there is such a topic or situation, we can always fall back to the "national security" rationale. That covers everything else the federal government wants to impose on states.
The post is fantastically helpful for keeping perspective and navigating orgs regardless of whether or not they’re a “bad company”. Because there’s parts of every company that are dysfunctional.
The other poster was using it to mean the opposite of pro-social, i.e. behavior that is bad for society (like roughhousing in a shared space meant for shopping). This definition is frequently used in the UK and Ireland thanks to Anti-social Behavior Orders.
You are using it to mean being averse to socializing.
"Financial details are vague, but the company has said the process will cost around $2,000 — far less than the retainer of a crisis communications expert."
Penn State University Extension says "...approximately 95% of the cattle in the United States continue to be finished, or fattened, on grain for the last 160 to 180 days of life (~25 to 30% of their life), on average."[1]
Oklahoma State University Extension also cites a study that compares "growth and carcass attributes of calves finished for 98 to 105 days in a grass system or a legume system"[2]
That puts us between 3 to 6 times longer than you stated, and gives us the context for how much of the average cattle's life that is. (USDA Prime, Choice, and Standard are all 30 to 42 months. Select is under 30 months.[3])
It's specifically referencing the central idea of the book mentioned in the first sentence of the paragraph.
> Did you get to read the Liu Cixin’s second 3-body-problem novel? - The Dark Forest. Well some of you did …
The author of this post then provides a good summary of the idea in the next few sentences, but remember there is an entire book around this premise (and a first book that sets it up and a third book explores it even more).
It's a matter of taste, but your original writing is way better. Your writing has your voice. Like dropping the "I am" from your first sentence, using parentheticals, couching your point in understatement (e.g "sometimes" meaning often instead of just saying "often").
The AI comment might be clear, but it sounds like a press release, not a person, and there's nothing to engage with.
