- Comment on I wish I was this funny.. 4 weeks ago:
I do not really use journals for my daily work. But usually I have a quarterly project I tackle and then search if someone in the industry has researched the issue or something similar. So you usually get to read the abstract or executive summary and then have the option to get access.
My employer/company usually after I send motivational letter does pay. I also have a reoccurring yearly subscription to two professional bodies and their journals, even the one I specialise makes their research available for free and the other one usually has a month or so delay before it is free and available, usually to edit it and make it look nice.
But professional organisations and journals also need to be funded, and like my industry (mining) really invests in them because the knowledge from them benefits them. The journals do not fully guarantee quality papers, sometimes a malicious actor slips through and is usually redacted, but usually journals live on their brand of producing quality papers that can be used by the industry to improve it overall. And for this they do need a bit of resources.
But I also sympathize with OP because certain journals can make their barrier to entry prohibitive. If Nature Journal in this instance chooses to become a for profit entity I can see how this might stifle future progress especially for smaller players in the industry where cost margins are extremely tight and basically gives unfettered access to the giants to gain an edge.

As a dog person I see cats as being apathetic towards their owners. Oh you arrived from work or a 3 month holiday, well I do not really care.
Where my dogs in my mind, which is based entirely on my feelings, will take a bullet for me if they could.

I understand that Epic funded their project to be an Epic exclusive, but was that a financially sound decision excluding the major market place. Could they not have worked in like a two year or three year exclusive period

Yeah I feel there is a weird history between steam and remedy media. Like I remember when you could one day buy Alan Wake like really cheap since it was being taken off steam. Then the Epic deal making Alan Wake 2 exclusive basically meant they excluded a lot of customers immediately on steam.

Even if I know it could end badly, I actually still believe this is the best short term plan, we already geoengineered the atmosphere warmer, might as well quickly cool it down back to where it was. But as long as this is seen as a bandaid, not the cure

I literally feel there is a Hollywood exec that has done a line of cocaine and said exactly that
- Comment on ‘The Crow’ remake ends its theater run. how much did it make? 2 months ago:
Fuck I hope Hollywood finally realises that they have really hit the the bottom of the barrel regarding remakes. Also, some sequels or whatever-quels have been hit and miss.
They need to focus on new fresh ideas, something new. Unfortunately they have to do something that is much harder now and that is not playing safe with proven IP. Make new IP, what ever gets the right team to be consistent with new movie ideas, maybe like Studio A24, will be in blue waters not fighting over the nostalgia against each other.

Would love a story line that starts normal but then goes off the rails. I do not want you to copy this guy but maybe take inspiration from Andrew Rousso, he made a video called Moist on YouTube, starts normal but eventually you are taken on a journey and come out the other side like mind blown, worth the 7 minutes

In my country this is such a good deal right now the Ally X, like the are better priced than the base 64GB non OLED steam deck. I know there is Asus shenanigans but for the price it is worth it.
