I think it is fair to argue where to draw the line, but I think some "looks like gambling but without gambling" do in fact deserve more scrutiny just because of the resemblance.

(On the other end of the spectrum we as a society should really crack down on the "doesn't look like gambling but is gambling" epidemic.)

I understand the now a days most people have their own computer, so the log-out/log-in is not a problem for most people; but some of us have a gaming desktop connected to the living-room TV that is shared by the whole family, and in this case a way to change profiles without having to do all the hassle of logout/login is really needed.

I watched it then, and i can tell you that NO, it wasn't pretty good for the time nor the media, it was terrible even for that time. Not because their CGI was particulary worse, but because all CGI was terrible at the time. The technology wasn't ready yet to do much, so everyone else at the time relied on practical effects, miniatures, and built full set; but for practicality and cost reasons they decided to use the crude CGI of the time for many things that were not good enouth at the time, and it shown terribly.

In subsequent seasons they walked back that decision slightly, mostly abandoning CGI for indoor scenes in favour of building sets for their actors like everyone else. And the last few seasons had fairly good CGI for external shots of the station and ships, because by that time the tech evolved to be good enouth (that is when you start seeing such CGI being used in all other shows as well).

I strongly disagree with this kind of guideline. The id attribute has very good uses, and in those cases the hash syntax should be the preferred way.

The use of id in an attribute selector is such a bad choice that makes me question the whole document.

That is difficult for Nintendo, the GPU architecture used on the switch is long dead, so Nintendo has no easy way of releasing a better switch. Because of that they will probably wait as much as possible and then release a completely new console with only limited backwards compatibility.

Nothing rational or sophisticated about trying to build a 19th century style land empire in the 21st century. The mindless quest for a sphere of influence is madness in our modern word, something that can only come from the mind of a crazy megalomaniac who thinks of sovereignty not in regards to modern borders, but in regards to a historic empire of his dreams. He believes Ukraine (and Belorussia, and Georgia, ...) are part of Russia, so anytime one of those stops playing the part (stop being a puppet/satellite) he invades (Georgia 2008, Ukraine 2014 and 2022).

- People kept a mental model of prices in dollar, especially for expensive not day to day items (e.g. electronics, appliances, car, real state), and used those dollar values in informal conversation.

- Monthly supermarket run on payday. As money's value would decrease noticeable throughout the month, people would rush to supermarkets on their payday to get the most value. Every month the 1st of the month rush on supermarkets was like you would expect on a pre holiday.

- People held some savings in dollar paper notes, you would lose a bit with the US inflation, but the safety and flexibility was worth it.

- People relied a bit more on barter for big items (e.g. exchange a house for two flats, or a flat for a car plus the difference, ...). Newspaper classified adds listing what you are selling and what kind of item would be acceptable in barter.

- Financing was a problem, new car purchase often used the "consortium" scheme (rotating savings and credit association, or Savings Clubs, Christmas clubs, sousou or even money circles) where a group of people paid installments into a pool and one member would get a car each month.

In my country the simple and cheap four-story walk-up condo building (with a single stair and no elevator) is the bread and butter medium density housing for the working class. You either have two or four units per floor, all opening to the stairwell with almost no space lost in corridors, it is simple and efficient. Alternatively for higher density there are higher versions with typically up to 12 floors with one or two elevators but still only one stairwell, so keeping the same efficiency.
