Xbox wants you to pay 24 to 40 cents per hour to stream games you already bought: Time-based a la carte charges come on top of the purchase price for the games themselves.
This has been a successful business model for mmos for decades. This is not new.

It's quite similar. Pay for a game and then pay for game "time.". Mmos are a pre pay, this is likely billed after playing. But really just paying for time after buying the game.

Gen Z is prioritizing living over working because they've seen 'the legacy of broken promises' in corporate America, a future-of-work expert says
I just saw Docs, nurses and staff who had pensions for 30+ years just get butchered as the new Hospital system took over. Routed it all to standard 401ks. Why put your soul into a company. They will never come through. That ship has sailed.

Trump hands Putin Ukraine’s occupied territories
We know, we always knew. That's why Putin helped trump become president. Putin has his hands in every western election and we just sit and do nothing.

Feds subpoena Ticketmaster over egregious concert ticket prices — A spokesperson for Live Nation, which owns Ticketmaster, said the firm doesn't “feel comfortable” sharing information with Congress
In the early 2000s Ticketmaster began to really take off. The fees and extras really started to bother me. So I stopped going to any events that used them. Other than a few state/county fair events I haven't been to a concert since 2001. Because of Ticketmaster. I have no regrets either.

Wind chills in parts of North Dakota reached minus 70 degrees (minus 56 degrees Celsius), while the heat index in Miami was more than 160 degrees warmer at 92 (33 degrees Celsius).
The fun part of North dakota is the extremes. The record low (without wind chill) is -60 F, the record high is 122 F. That is a 182 degree spread, or 100 C spread for the rest of the world.

Which healthcare would you choose?
I'm a physician in the US and had to wait 11 months for a dermatology appointment at the same hospital system I work at and the insurance owned by the same hospital system covered $95 of the $430 bill. We do not have it better than Canada, at all.

Banksy removal
The remaining outline reminds me of the silhouettes left of people on stone after Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It is in some ways more haunting and powerful.

I would say 0 for Israel. They can pay for their own mess. This shit is because of their own actions.

Fascist paramilitary invaders in Massachusetts hold a 5-year-old autistic girl hostage to bait her parents into relinquishing their 4th amendment rights. (9/23/25)
Holy shit this infuriating. Kidnapping a child to bait people to come out. Child abuse at minimum. Lock these fucktards up and throw away the key.

Badgers
Brother in law had a huge wolf dog. The kind that can put it's paws on your shoulders and look at you face to face. Massive. He got in a tussel with a badger and got tore up, took two weeks to heal. Then took off and came back with a 40 lbs badger in his mouth. Overall a 40 lbs meth badger = 150 lbs wolf dog.
