Go down the list of articles documenting people killed in 2019 and show me where the bias is.
It’s cool, I’ll wait…

Again, you are willfully misunderstanding what the statistic is stating:
Here are the total number of PEOPLE killed by dogs.
Of that number, here’s how many PEOPLE were killed by each breed.
This isn’t tracking bites, or overall attacks, it’s tracking human deaths.
A similar stat would be tracking vehicular accident deaths, if in a year you have accidents involving “brand x” accounting for more vehicular fatalities than all other brands combined, that points to a massive, massive problem with the brand.
It doesn’t matter how many cars there are, that’s not what the stat is tracking.

The number of dogs is irrelevant because the statistic is counting human deaths by dogs.
You wouldn’t say “well, how many people are there?” either.

The real question is “why would you believe that?”
They were bred to kill bulls, bears, and rats, in pits so that none of the animals could escape.

If you look at the chart “mixed breed” is it’s own category.

The number of dogs doesn’t matter, it’s tracking the number of human beings killed by the breed.
Yeah, Chihuahua might bite you, they aren’t going to kill you.

Dogsbite.org is super diligent about showing the supporting evidence. For example, the last complete year they have is 2019:

Each death marked with multiple citations.

Doctor: “We’re going to do a colonoscopy and endoscopy.”
Me: “Oh, a spit roast!”
Doctor: “. . . Please don’t call it that.”
Stage 2 colon cancer folks! Get checked!

When you look at annual statistics of dog bite fatalities, pit bulls aren’t just the #1 cause of dog bite deaths, they account for more deaths than all dog breeds COMBINED.

Wow!

Larger than EA?
- Comment on 1 week ago:
Destiny 2 died because the studio was more interested in chasing F2P microtransactions than story content.
They cut the paid story content so they could go F2P, then the new players had no idea what was going on or how to engage.
What they SHOULD have done was this:
Fork Destiny 2 into 2 games, each balanced separately. A) PvE Paid Story Content B) F2P PvP microtransactions.
Let the same character bounce from one to the other.

In fairness, the Linux feature was half baked. I got YellowDog running on it, but because of the goodfball CPU, you had to recompile everything to get it to run, which it did poorly.

Because stopping disc production has worked so well for Microsoft…
Here’s the bit both are forgetting:
The hardware is still sold at retail.
So you go into a store, you see a console for sale but no games. Or, worse, a shelf of old games on the “Discontinued” rack (the Xbox section in most Targets and Walmarts now.) Do you feel inclined to buy that hardware?
How is that working out for Microsoft?

Valve can get away with it with the Steam products because they are sold in the same online store that sells the games.

I mean, palm oil is technically a real ingredient and all natural. Then again, so are cyanide and arsenic. 😉

No. Not a fan. I bought IV out of curiosity and I had a review copy of Chinatown Wars. That’s it.

Hmmm… I wonder if there’s a market for pre-installed Win11 boot SSDs then. 🤔
- Comment on Microsoft Announces Significant Price Rises for Xbox Series X and S, 2TB Model Discontinued 2 weeks ago:
$800 for 1 TB… so the 2TB version would have hit $1,000 or more.
So how much is my old 1TB version with 2TB expansion card worth now? 🤔

That’s been true for years now! 😉

It will probably have a boot to desktop mode like the Steam Deck and then you can run any stream in a browser.

They will sell out instantly and this blocks the scalpers.

Native on the Deck is 1280 x 800. Slightly more than 720p, but not by much!

I mean, the Steam Deck can dual boot Steam OS and Windows 11. I have a 2TB USB C SSD that is a full Win11 install.
I expect I could use that same SSD on the Steam Machine.
Instructions:
Win 11 Install:
aomeitech.com/…/install-windows-11-on-external-ss…
Steam Deck Boot Menu:
Turn off your Steam Deck entirely.
Press and hold the Volume Down (-) button and press the Power button.
Release the buttons when you hear the chime. This will load the Boot Manager.
Select your External USB/SD Drive using the D-pad and press ‘A’.SSD:

Have you seen PS5 Pro prices lately? $900?
- Comment on Steam Machine pricing announced (from $1049-$1428 USD), reservation lists open 3 weeks ago:
I mean, speaking for myself, I already bought the consoles back in 2020. I bought a Steam Deck to access non-console games.
This does what the Steam Deck does only moreso.

Just because you connect to a 4K TV doesn’t mean is has to play in 4K.
I’ve connected my Steam Deck to my 8K TV.

$100 cheaper, but can it be done in this form factor? 🤔
“Size
152 mm tall (148 mm without feet), 162.4 mm deep, 156 mm wide”
5.98" tall (5.83" without feet), 6.39" deep, 6.14" wide.
To put it in perspective, PC FANS are 120mm…

First - THANK YOU for the heads up! I was hoping when I got the dBrand Companion Cube notification just after midnight.
dbrand.com/shop/limited-edition/companion-cube
Second - Anyone notice the controller bundles save you $20 over buying the controller individually? Not so sad my controller reservation is AWOL.
