“Ten Bits” seems viable, although nobody cares much about the Spanish real anymore.

Not even an isekai.
Arguably, one of the best possible worlds.
I put out one of those big plastic storage units with like 30 little drawers recently, figuring although 2 were missing, someone could still use it. I stood it next to the dustbin, on trash day where it would be optimally visible for anyone who wanted to scrounge it.
The bloody HOA took a picture and sent a nastygram.
Check a local coin dealer/show.
Silver ounce rounds come in infinitely many designs, and there are a lot of right-wingers in those interest groups.
I’m pretty sure I’ve seen them done up with his ugly maw on. I think sometines as copper too.
Discussion: you can have an “extinction event” in any ecosystem-- not just biological ones.
For example, the abandonment of steam locomotives in the mid-20th-century, or the Home Computer crash of the 1980s.
Similar to a biological mass extinction, you have:
A month or so ago; I had a 32G card, and bought a 128G card.
If there’s such a fear of third parties cleaving off votes from the Democrats, why have they never tried to mobilize similar forces on the right?
We had the Libertarians right there, before they imploded.
My objections:
Instead of writing the code now, you end up having to review and debug it, which is more work IMO.
Not to mention the Xbox Box, and the shipping cintainer full of 'em, the Xbox Box Box
Legit multipolarization?
NATO, in particular, is highly coupled to the American/anti-Russian agenda. How much chance did Europe get to discuss the pros and cons of bankrolling a long-term conflict in Ukraine vs getting railroaded into it with the insinuations of being the next Chamberlain?
Even Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin don’t wake up every morning asking “how can I be evil today?” They may have a different agenda than the West, but it still comes from a place of caring for their country, legacy, and position. These are not wholesale foreign concepts. They can be understood and worked with. But I suspect the sort of organizations that would get the best out of them would require certain countries to acknowledge their place among equals and be willing to comptomise their sphere of influence.
You think Trump knew him as anything but “the face on the $20 note”?
If he had gotten office in 1914, he’d have put Grover Cleveland’s portrait up for the same reason.
Gacha can be moderately acceptable if the math is fully documented and enforced. If you know it will take <= 180 pulls to get Raiden Shogun, and each pull costs $3, then it’s just a $540 DLC with extra steps and the tease thst it might be cheaper if you’re lucky or have banked pulls.
But transparency is key-- the developer should be expected to offer a calculator or lookup table for any RNG item, especially if it’s some combination of multiple drop mechanics or hsrd-to-convert currencies that dissuades back-of-the-envelope estimates.
Even in Vegas, the slot machines are required to disclose their payout rate.
There’s also significant differences in the gacha appeal factor. If there are no leaderboards or PvP, and the game mechanics can be completed with F2P only, that is inherently less pressure to spend then on a game where you regularly get your ass handed to you by a someone with a Black Amex and all seven-star limited banner units.
Low value foreign currency, i.e. for collectors?
You can buy a lot of issues in packs of 100 or even 1,000 notes for a few tens of dollars, and it’s not worth calling Brinks for some old Soviet roubles or Zimbabwe dollars. Would likely still smell like money.
As a (non-game) developer, AI isn’t even that great at reducing my burden.
The organization is enthusiastic about AI, so we set up the Gitlab Copilot plugin for our development tools.
Even as “spicy autocomplete” only about one time in 4 or so it makes a useful suggestion.
There’s so much hallucination, trying to guess the next thing I want and usually deciding on something that came out of its shiny metal ass. It actually undermines the tool’s non-AI features, which pre-index the code to reliably complete fields and function names that actually exist.
I think it’s more about “does it fulfill the tropes paper money has established.” It’s like how many of the new electric cars look slightly off because they’ve removed design features (i. e. grilles with obvious air intakes) that are established in cars already.
Interestingly, Soviet banknotes up to the 1961 series would print the denomination in over ten different languages.
I always figured BSD should lean into the daemon imagery with a full heavy-metal branding: a suite of wallpapers with decidedly less cuddly daemons, a succubus OS-tan character… make it the go-to Edgelord Desktop.
Then FreeBSD introduced that stupid sphere logo. No sense of branding. :P
The Euro notes look like what you’d get if you asked for prop banknotes for a minor scwne in a nwar-future sci-fi movie. The basic design elements are there to give the general look of currency, but something always seemed missing.
I think it’s the lack of text-- most banknotes have a big, prominent issuing authority name rather than the tiny copyright line of abbreviations, and often some flowery “I promise to pay on demand” legal language leftover from when the note was a stand-in for a stack of silver coins.
Can we get the politicians to shift from illegal aliens to Sasquatch? Build a wall across Washington state and make Canada pay for it?
Y’know thry always make a big media event about the polls opening at midnight in some podunk New England town that does a symbolic “first ballot of the nation”. Might be fun to make a similar scene for the ISS.
“The off-planet vote is breaking strongly for Harris despite RFK’s residence far outside Earth’s gravitational pull.”
Yeah. They don’t tell you at all what to do with the 3rd sword.
