The only way to increase profits is to cut 10,000 jobs, increase prices by 25% and further reduce quality of the ingredients, right? Right?

How else would you test the difference? By looking at a still picture?

The difference matters very much in high speed video games and this is the most basic of ways to test it.

Everyone gets a +1 empathy but that point needs to be taken from somewhere else. Therefore everyone also gets -1 intelligence.

I prefer Gothic horror movies (usually with vampires) and some of the very best examples would be Bram Stoker's Dracula, Nosferatu by Werner Herzog, Sleepy Hollow, and Hammer Studios' Dracula.

I'd also like to give a shout out to the most recent hidden gems from this genre that I enjoyed tremendously, The Haunted Palace (Based on The Case of Charles Dexter Ward by H. P. Lovecraft) and The Family of Vourdalak (The second segment from the Black Sabbath movie, based on a story from Aleksey Konstantinovich Tolstoy).

This is true for a lot of fields, but I'm going to take a guess you're working with machine learning?

Just want to add, if you're feeling nostalgic about some of these Flash games and want to play them again, download Y8 browser. My personal favorites are Warlords: Call to Arms, and Steppenwolf: The X-Creatures project.

After binging the 12 books over the holidays, I've made an attempt to watch the movie adaptation. It couldn't be that bad, could it?

It was much worse. Possibly the worst movie I have ever seen.

I was mostly referring to the last part of the article where the author explains the entire long-term plan behind the subscription services - first they offer a large variety of games for a low price, then they squeeze the customers for every single penny after they've cornered the market.

We'll all pay for a subscription-based future

Not me - the moment when buying a game outright is no longer an option is the moment when I stop paying for video games. I already have a large library on Steam (1,700+), GoG (400+), and I'm not planning on buying any Playstation or Xbox products. I've never paid for Xbox game pass, or PS plus, nor do I plan to. They can scheme all day long, hike the prices every week, I already buy games only if they're on a really deep discount or in a bundle. Never paid more than 30 bucks for a game, and I could count on one of my hands how many I paid more than 20 bucks for.

I do, of course, realize that I'm in the minority, but hopefully more people will realize how big of a scam these subscription services are.

The cause of Bronny James ' sudden cardiac arrest has been revealed. One month after LeBron James ' 18-year-old son went into cardiac arrest during basketball practice, a James family spokesperson revealed the cause of the health scare in a statement to ET.

"After a comprehensive initial evaluation at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center led by Dr. Merije Chukumerije and follow-up evaluations at the Mayo Clinic led by Dr. Michael J. Ackerman and Atlantic Health/Morristown Medical Center led by Dr. Matthew W. Martinez, the probable cause of Mr. James' sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) has been identified," the statement read. "It is an anatomically and functionally significant Congenital Heart Defect which can and will be treated."

As for Bronny's athletic future, the family spokesperson said, "We are very confident in Bronny’s full recovery and return to basketball in the very near future."

"We will continue to provide updates to media and respectfully reiterate the family's request for privacy," the statement concluded.

On July 24, Bronny was rushed to the hospital after collapsing during practice with the University of Southern California Trojans' basketball team.

At the time, a family spokesperson said that LeBron and his wife, Savannah James, "wish to publicly send their deepest thanks and appreciation to the USC medical and athletic staff for their incredible work and dedication to the safety of their athletes."

Bronny was discharged from the hospital three days later, with his doctor,Merije Chukumerije, telling ET, "Mr. James was cared for promptly by highly-trained staff and has been discharged home, where he is resting. Although his workup will be ongoing, we are hopeful for his continued progress and are encouraged by his response, resilience, and his family and community support."

Shortly thereafter, Bronny was photographed for the first time since his health scare. The next month, Bronny attended a Dodgers game and a Drake concert with his dad.
