Like Hitchhiker's guide...is it safe? Oh yes it's safe but not us.

I think it depends on the marketing in the end. Even if it's expensive, if it's not known it probably won't sell as much as you hope. If I'm proved wrong I'd like to know to give it a try of course heh. But I do think many of those brands survive on the rich knowing them to parade around, even if they're not known by sight due to non displayed logos.

If you want to target the new rich, then it needs to be high profile and flashy I assume.

Yeah between the biker gang and ballad of gay Tony, they had some great dlc for 4. I bought GTA 5 a second time for the PC after awhile but can't expect a good dlc these days from them unfortunately. Hopefully their main story holds up but I'm not holding my breath given their online cash cow.

That's how you get asbestos for crafting in Fallout 76 too, heh and sad for the health issues of course. Maybe one day we'll figure out how to not kill ourselves for commercialism. I sort of assume we didn't know then but it wouldn't surprise me if their research team did eyes oil companies

Not if the place doesn't do daylight savings time, and not all places in a timezone will do that (least in North America) so you need extra code if they do or do not. It becomes a pain after awhile when you do it in multiple projects. Technically one extra setting but it's still a pain to make sure it's handle properly in all cases, especially when the previous programmer decided to handle it for each case individually, but that's a different issue.

Also when you deal with the times, say in .Net you gotta make sure it's the proper kind of date otherwise it decides it's a local system date and will change it to system local when run. Sure it's all handled but there are many easy mistakes to make when working with time.

I probably didn't even get to the real reason, I sort of picked this up on my own.

Oh aren't you a peach

I agree mostly but you do need some time, that was sort of the key, not the actual timeframe. The best jokes one month later would not work regardless how good they were. Well anywhere in the US. Even you said a decade later, that's over half an adult worth of time for a human growing up.

Anyone else remember South Park episode Jared has Sides? Takes 22ish years before something is funny. Probably not this but it was pretty close to that for timing.

As a kid I rarely listened to anything, these days I put on Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy radio show, just go bacl to the start I've heard up to the third phase often but not the further ones as much. In the more recent past it may have been a Harry Potter (UK) book or again Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy voiced by Stephen Fry. Guess that's a lot of UK stuff considering I'm Canadian, but Fry has such a nice voice to drift off to.

Oh I had no idea they could take that long, the bridge I knew about obviously handled much smaller ships I think like 15mins was max for the bridge time from the city I knew. Of course this city was still like 30mins driving end to end (in better traffic) so not huge. Appreciate the reply, thank you, learned something which is always a bonus.

Okay I have no drawbridges close by, is it because traffic backs up so much or because the drawbridge takes so long? I imagine a combination so really curious on the drawbridge time needed I guess.

Used to live in a city that would raise a bridge for a ship but I tried not to travel that way if possible. It was on the coast so you could drive around, though probably worse traffic felt like it was moving.

From the guy that also had 'executive time' blocked off many (most? All?) mornings of his presidency, he only wanted to be in front of the cameras. Trump has never worked for what would amount to a full time day in his life I bet.

Amazes me that a grifter who I doubt anyone would truly trust to babysit or even be a manager at a fast food joint gets so much support and offered access to some of the world's most secret Intel.
