I just checked the logs for a simple HTTP request to their top level site and it defined a content security policy for 92 separate domains.
Including a lot of fun ones with names like "sandbox.company.egg" and "debugging.company.egg" and "embedded.demo.company.egg" and "debug-preview.company.egg"

all of which is pretty questionable when you already defined a *.company.egg policy!

Bats are not scary, even on Halloween. They give nice winghugs for #FursuitFriday.

Terrible idea: a scifi story set in a early-20th century idea of the solar system.

Mars is a dying desert covered in canals to bring water from the poles to the sand cities at the equator.
Venus is a humid jungle/swamp full of strange beasts.
Both are fully habitable by humans with no more gear than you'd need to cross the Sahara or venture into the rainforest.

The trick? This is actually a distant future realistic setting. We terraformed the planets specifically to be like that.

@JohannaMakesGames with many games i like to turn the music off but leave the sfx, as i like to listen to my own music whilst playing; inversingly with racing games i like to turn the sfx off but leave the music on, as car noises aren't an added benefit for me.

as for dialogue, i always either turn it off or set it to a language i don't understand, as i find spoken dialog a major immersion breaker. i'd rather have written dialog i can read at my own pace; but if that ain't there subtitles are an option too.

i wish games would autodetect a music player running in the background; but even when i put an audio cd in my xbox i still need to manually turn off the in-game music. generally not a big deal except for the games that don't have that option; those go in mute.

David Chisnall (*Now with 50% more sarcasm!*)

To put a billionaire in perspective, it's more interesting to think about the income than the capital. You can get a 5% annual return from some fairly low-risk investments (and you can further reduce risk by spreading your money across a load of these). You can often get higher, but 5% is a fairly good baseline.

If you start with $1bn and do nothing clever, you can get an income of $50 M per year by doing nothing. Even with the kind of 95% tax rate that we had for the highest income levels when The Beatles sang about it, that leaves you with $2.5M/year in income.

That's enough to buy a nice house every year, with no mortgage. It's a disposable income of almost $7K. It's enough to take a first-class transatlantic flight every day.

And that's just one billion.

Even with a 95% tax rate on investment income and a conservative investment strategy, someone with a billion dollars would have a daily disposable income that's more than the monthly income of anyone in the bottom 99% of earners, without having to work.

Now try these calculations again with real tax rates and Musk or Bezos' wealth.
