Dealerships are a reasonable middleman to exist. They provide a legal entity within the state, which is useful for resolving conflicts. They simplify logistics for manufacturers by having set places to deliver larger amounts of cars, and handle issue that arise from shipping more reliably than singular customers.
There are downsides to them, but none of them actually get better by removing dealerships and having people deal with GM or Toyota directly where there’s even more power imbalance.
Honestly you aren’t missing much, the game gets old once the story really starts. The exploration of the castle is fun, but the surrounding area and combat are lackluster.
WB seems to have a lifetime contract for denuvo, all their games seem to keep it indefinitely.
I binged most the the pitt, but it probably would be better with breaks. It’s a high intensity show, and having breaks between episodes would be good. The fact it actually respects the viewer enough to not have gratuitous padding is notable today, and probably why it’s actually good.
Natural Selection 2 is still an awesome game with a pratically unique gameplay. It’s an RTS/FPS hybrid with asymmetrical teams. It’s worth checking out if you can handle a bit of a learning curve.
The rate depends on debit card use.
My debit card gives me a better interest rate on checking and savings which is way better than points or cash back. The only difference in fraud protection is the money may not be immediately available that was fraudulent, which can be a problem. Credit can be a problem until you get a mortgage though without credit cards.
I believe that was the goal, but there was a rights dispute and they didn’t get access to it.
Rings of power is shit, but it’s also explicitly not based on the Silmarillion. It’s only using the appendices of the trilogy.
I’d say it depends on your tastes. If you like it’s always sunny or arrested development then it might be worth it, and start with season 4 and go back if you really liked it. Otherwise skip it.
Alternately it’s a Jenny and Forest situation.
The way we sell screens by diagonal does seem like marketing got away with one.
Seinfeld, there’s way more miss episodes than hit episodes. The peak is the middle few seasons, and even then it’s 50:50 at best.
This is why I’m not a fan of REST, the whole as possible part is meaningless. It could be an api that’s 99% REST with a few well thought out methods for common actions that aren’t quite REST, or it could be a mess of an api that uses PUT occasionally.
Self documenting at an application api level is not really possible. What I’d rather have is consistency and predictability, which is impossible in a REST as possible system.
There’s also value in treating http as just a transport later. It can give you clear boundaries, 200 the app processed the request, anything else the app didn’t process it.
Yes most things are crud if you zoom out enough that doesn’t mean REST is just fine. The scope is larger now, the states are more complex and interrelated, relationships are more complex, data privacy laws can affect the physical implementation. REST also has a lot of baggage that leads to excessive bike shedding, or refusal to allow useful endpoints that aren’t sufficiently restful. Proponents also tend to be more concerned with the purity of the api than the usability and effectiveness of it
Yes I’d rather have a self defined standard that accurately covers the scope of an application and it’s use cases than stretch an old standard design for basic hierarchical text docs to work for a modern application.
The people that decide which rules are important or not when designing a “REST” api are generally insufferable as well.
These are basically ancient, but if you want to feel like crap.
The swing back is usually worse though. By doing something unprecedented, you give the opposition permission to go farther than you did.
