  1. Someone on ResetERA pointed out that this is gonna hit the WWE hard - as well it should! However, there's little doubt in my mind that this will eventually end up in front of SCOTUS as a "major questions doctrine" case.
  2. It may not necessarily be better than natural infection for those of us with normally-functioning immune systems, but it could make a significant difference for those who are severely immunocompromised as they will be better able to leverage their RNAi in a less risky manner than traditional vaccine solutions.
  3. The existence human "beauty" pageants in the Year of Our Lord 2024 is absolutely ridiculous. The existence of AI "beauty" pageants makes me want to commit seppuku. World’s First AI Pageant To Judge Winner On Beauty And Social Media Clout WWW.FORBES.COM In a contest sponsored by Fanvue, models and influencers crafted from artificial intelligence can now jockey for the title "Miss AI."
  4. The "universality" derives from its targeting of aspects of a virus's genome that are common to all strains of the virus which I presume isn't the case with current vaccines, hence the situation where vaccines are constantly playing "catch up" to the evolving viral strains. I'd imagine that eventually those common aspects of the virus genomes would evolve to the point where a new version of the vaccine would be necessary, but I assume that rate of change is significantly slower than that for the aspects targeted by current vaccines.
  5. Let's just say that the Ukrainian conflict has been very instructive to the formulation of various aspects of American military policy, especially in regard to just how effective the use of EW can be on neutralizing the capabilities of drones.
  6. Eagles, Falcons tampering allegations: NFL resolution coming soon, Atlanta could reportedly get harsh penalty - CBSSports.com WWW.CBSSPORTS.COM Cousins revealed he communicated with Atlanta's athletic trainer and head of PR before new league year
  7.

  8. OK - that explains how this is possible and why a change to the vaccine wouldn't be necessary unless the virus's genome evolves.
  9. Tesla Cuts Marketing Team in Reversal of Musk’s Ad Strategy FINANCE.YAHOO.COM (Bloomberg) -- Tesla Inc. slashed a newly formed marketing team as part of companywide layoffs, reversing course from a traditional advertising push that Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk greenlighted less than a year ago.Most Read from BloombergTrump Has Only $6.8 Million for Legal Fees With Trial UnderwayTikTok to Remove Executive Tasked With Fending Off US ClaimsChina Is Front and Center of Gold’s Record-Breaking RallyTesla Spends...
  10. I thoroughly enjoyed this first season immensely with my only minor quibble being that there should've been a single additional episode (or slightly longer existing episodes) to make the eighth one not seem so exposition dump-y. It's gonna be an excruciating wait for season two!
  11. Asmodee assets are being used to obtain a €900 million loan from JP Morgan, BNP Paribas, SEB, Societe Generale and Swedbank. The loan is ringfenced to Asmodee's assets but we'll be used to refinance Embracer Group debt. This isn't a particularly great start to Asmodee's existence as an independent entity.
  12. “Middle-earth Enterprises & Friends" I realize that these are only placeholder names for the entities, but my God, they at least could've tried slightly harder so it doesn't sound like something that was thrown together by Lars at 5:00am when the coke buzz is starting to wear off.
  13. Embracer Group announces its intention to transform into three standalone publicly listed entities at Nasdaq Stockholm - Embracer Group EMBRACER.COM INSIDE INFORMATION: The Board of Directors of Embracer Group AB (“Embracer Group”) today announces a transformative step for value creation through a separation of the group into three market-leading games and entertainment companies: Asmodee Group, “Coffee Stain & Friends”[1] and “Middle-earth Enterprises & Friends”[1]. The three entities will be separate, publicly listed companies, enabling each […] The motivation behind this move is 100% intended to make these entities for "digestible" for acquisition.
  14. One of the Chinese EV manufacturers (Li Auto) also announced price cuts over the weekend: Li Auto cut prices by 4,200 USD to intensify competition in China CARNEWSCHINA.COM Li Auto joins the new wave of price war in China to maintain the good sales volume.
  15. I doubt that either of those would even be the least bit interested in it, not when their own EV plans are in flux due to relatively soft market demand. It's all-but-certain that Tesla put the "Model 2" on ice because there was simply no way to make it even remotely financially viable within its existing cost structure. The problem is that their other models are just priced too high for further significant market penetrartion.
  16. Tesla simply does not have the cost structure to compete with the vastly more affordable Chinese-manufactured EVs which means that market is all-but-lost to them which could prove fatal to the company.
  17. Looking at a few of the steams, if you're into "systems", then this game is for you as even its systems have systems to the point where it could very well be titled "Systems: The Game" Also, the character creator appears to be pretty extensive:
