What's the difference with using a special Nintendo connector? The point would also be to make it harder for consumers to find new, non-nintendo parts.

Time will tell if this is the best for the company... I hope he was a very hands-off CEO and mostly did marketing gigs.

Don't worry about it, I got downvoted for answering your questions. Some people just... Downvote.

I would guess Canada, EU, UK, Oceania and South East Asia.

Why are you posting this here? This thread is not about you?

French speaking part of Belgium. The language is the most relevant factor for what is being talked about.

If you care about leaderboards perhaps. If you do it because it's fun then there is no reason to use AI if you don't find that fulfilling.

To invite tens of competitors... No he shouldn't.

If she's not doing work in the lab because that part is automated, perhaps she would have time for more and better experiment design?

He released a product, not a PCB. For him that's probably not the part where his creativity is focused on.

You'll get blocked real quick. I once noticed it was thinking in a different language than the one we were communicating in, when I asked about it the conversation was immediately blocked.

The crunchy spread or the regular spread? I can imagine it works with both, but crunchy sounds extra nice.

Slightly related but you can crumble these cookies and use them as a (cheese)cake bottom. It's nice.

Energy is a commodity so the price will be very similar for the same goods. What they tack on as taxes might be different.

They have to make money so that means yearly price increases for the tenants. It's literal rent extraction while no actual value is being added.

Property taxes make the real estate market function better. If you don't need or use the property, you don't want to keep paying property taxes so you list your property for sale.

I am sceptical of this kind of central planning. Fighting against organic growth and artificially trying to increase jobs in other cities seems like it would cost a lot more as a whole than trying to solve the problem where it actually exists.

Build more and higher. Often times people don't want to build higher although they really need to, I hope Madrid is not one of those places.

Ban AirBnB's and ban estate funds from owning homes.

Business and self-help books are always 90% fluff and 10% content, not much to do about that.
