I don't know anything about how that stuff works. But considering it's on Steam and has no dedicated servers you choose and it's cross platform would it not have to talk to a lot of different servers simultaneously? Like, I can squad up with my buddies from the UK while I'm in Canada and also have someone on ps5 in the USA. None of them experience lag. Seems like it isn't your normal every day "net code" most other games would have to accomplish

Yes, that's when the show really dug in it's hooks and let you know this show is different and buckle in.

Final Space, nothing beats it for me. I'll be empty and hollow until Olan releases the graphic novel they're letting him license to finish off the story from season 3 since it was cancelled with one of the time warner mergers.

Vox Machina and Chernobyl(HBO) were close contenders though.

I'm well aware revenue and profit arent 1:1. You're "source" is a "Google person says they break even" in 2015. I give you graphs showing revenue growing at almost 4x the rate of users since 2015. Are they making 800% more profit, obviously not. But they sure as hell aren't losing money on YouTube anymore.

Typed "was google profitable in 2022". Took about 4 seconds.

Edit: as I'm not sure you'll look at the graphs. I want to point out that since 2015 the "what could they have done to turn a profit" question is answered in the graphs

Users increased about 225%

Revenue has increased 700-800%

Its very profitable.

So everything you listed is something scheduled. Something people prepare for. Water suddenly not working is neither of those things. Ignorant take

You do you. I'll keep enjoying my cheaper internet. Have a good one

I pay 65 for gigabit fiber with Telus. At the end of the 2 year deal they'll give me a better deal or Shaw will, I don't care who my isp or phone provider is, whoever gives me cheaper with more gets my money. Just be assertive with them, sometimes you'll be on the phone for 4 hours, but you save money and get faster speeds.

Re read what he wrote. He said without including that or some form of. For example, Elon put a larger carbon footprint into the world in one week with his jet than most of us will over the course our lifetime. Does it mean we shouldn't do our part? No. We definitely need to do and be better. It would take only a few of the biggest contributors to make a big impact while it would take thousands, if not millions, of us.
