I'll soon be in the market for an EV, and I wish what you're saying we're true.

Other brands are more expensive, and their base price can barely compete with a tesla, but their options pricing is ridiculous.

There's LOTS of teslas where I live because it's the best bang for your buck right now as far as EV comes.

I dislike Musk as much as anyone else around here, but the companies he fronts have met lots of success, I guess because there are lots of very competent people actually running them (i.e. Gwynne Shotwell for SpaceX)

I'll explain as if your first language is not English.

Dry means something that has no moisture in it, like sand can be dry or wet.

Obviously something dry contains no moisture or liquids.

A Martini is a cocktail, mixed from mostly gin and vermouth. In this context, dry means "little vermouth", so the taste of the gin is most prevalent.

So the joke is between the two different meanings of the word, as obviously a dry cocktail makes no sense if you take the first meaning of the word.

What did you dislike about those movies?

The factory must grow

I can't stand these "articles" that pad the answers you want and came for behind paragraph after paragraph of uninteresting facts.

I don't care about the cast of the first movie, and what the hell is this about a potential release date with no information?

That reeks of AI-generated bullshit with a catchy title

I'm very sad they are closing shop, but I understand it.

I find their last DLC awfully expensive, but I think I'll buy them anyway, as I really loved all their games (bought desperados 3 day 1, same for shadow gambit, and no regrets).

Their games were crafted with love, and it shows. If you haven't, go and try them on, it's a fun genre.

I started playing because I had nostalgia for the commandos games, but they really refined the gameplay and made the different difficulty modes so everyone can have fun.

I highly recommend it, its a very good game.

Have you ever tried storing a string in an INTEGER column ?

Due to a bug it happened in a software I worked on.

SQLite just stores the string. I have no idea if the column type has any real effect on storage as far as SQLite is concerned.

I have a old gaming laptop that is not supported.

Intel i7-7820HK, 4cores 8 threads 2.9Ghz.

Released in 2017.

That's not old-arse as far as I'm concerned, and I don't see the need for an upgrade. I'm going to install Linux on this PC because I have the know-how and desire to check out how electron fares. But I can see how that is not an option for everyone.

I don't think it goes with the vibe of the game, it would disrupt the factory too much
