console = network, game = content.. is my argument.

IE Nintendo was happy to sell more units with Sega content, and sega moving to software / content had no choice but to sell on other platorms.

I’m not sure if Nintendo would get a percent of a 3rd party devs profits.

Nintendo makes money on EVERY cart sold and every electronic purchase.. it is a major part of their EXPENSIVE model and why Nintendo platform games always seem more expensive. It is also why they still sell cart based systems so they are the ONLY supplier of the media, but now they have their own eStore as well.

Nintendo allowed Sega’s Sonic Heroes to compete with Super Mario Sunshine on their own game conosle

99% sure that only happened after Sega stopped making competing consoles. IE more game content benefited their console platform

I was asked this at a café less than ten minutes ago now.

I guess this would be country/state dependent.

Have you heard of the Information superhighway?

"Will that be smoking or non smoking?" Asked as a restaurant

"I think you flooded it" in relation to a car not starting. (well unless you work on very old cars)

"I got it off Napster"

"want to listen to my mix tape?"

"I can burn you a CD of that"

It won't be green because of the cold.. If it doesn't doesn't snow it is a brown / yellow Christmas.

Also you can't use your cross country skis, sleds, snowmobiles etc if there isn't any snow. No one wants to go out in the cold MUD.

Pamela O’Rourke says cannabis products for chronic pain condition, though not prescribed

though not prescribed

Hard to believe that anyone travels the world without even doing a little research on laws.. Even prescribed Dubai probably would have had issues with it.

It was only legalized semi recently in Canada, it is even still a problem if you try and take it to the US as there are challenges there.

Edit: to be clear I feel sorry for them but also really not surprised or outraged.. This is the expected outcome of brining a very controlled item into a country that has strict laws.

I cant make out the model number in your photo..

https://everymac.com/systems/apple/iphone/iphone-faq/differences-between-iphone-3g-iphone-3gs.html

Although external identification requires sharp eyes to spot it down at the bottom of the back of the phone, the iPhone 3G is model number A1241 and the iPhone 3GS is A1303. The China-only iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS models that do not have Wi-Fi are model number A1324 and A1325, respectively.

FYI I owned both, the 3GS was just leaps faster than the 3.. At this point however I would be surprised if there would run without a full battery swap due to age.

I think you need to go back to school humans are the APEX of endurance animals for walking on this planet. It is 100% within the physical norms of a human to walk all day.. The romans marched almost halfway across the world on foot.

Edit:

Canada post workers walk between 17-22km a day and carry up to 30 pounds of mail https://www.ufcw.ca/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=31576&catid=9845&lang=en#%3A%7E%3Atext=Letter+carriers+perform+physically+demanding%2Cno+walk+in+the+park.

It sounds like a lot until you track activities of active people it is well within reason. A typical warehouse worker in a large warehouse will do similar however it is indoors.

Someone doing recreational back country hiking will also carry that much are walk further.

YES physically demanding but not really extreme for a human.
