Give all of those things a try. None of them are "wrong". Experiment and see what works best with the type of people you want to spend time with. Just don't get discouraged if your success rate is low (some people just won't be interested) and respect people's decisions if they choose to ignore you.

Since it sounds like you are just getting into this, it may be helpful to know that Nintendo has confirmed that there will be a 2nd version of the device and it is likely to have full backwards compatibility (meaning it will play all of the games from version 1).

The release dates for this device are likely to be announced soon.

So if you can wait, you could either get the newest version or you could get the current version for a big discount.

Specifically voting yes on that question.

You may have seen many restaurants putting out signs saying to vote no. That was done by management and front of house staff because they don't want to pay their employees at the minimum wage and they don't want to share their tips with back of the house staff (who also deserve the tips as much as FOH).

2 x 10^34 for those people who like to use numbers to represent numbers in a sane way.

It's a bad headline, means negative for the day.

Although commodity futures can go negative in unusual situations. During the pandemic, oil prices went negative because demand was low and production was still high, so the cost of storing it was driving the price down. The fact that it went negative was mostly due to speculators though.

You should be able to select the version of the game that you want. Right click, manage,... ??? I forgot the rest but it's fairly obvious from what I remember. You can just pick the most stable build of 1.## from the drop down.

I think this is why they usually go after the people distributing the data for copywriter infringement, and not the people who use the data.

It may not be stealing, but it definitely is copywriter infringement.

I think all of your points were covered in the video, sometimes almost verbatim.

Going into debt is how they "print" money. Those are the same thing. Having debt isn't necessarily a bad thing though, but creating too much money can increase inflation. If not handled carefully it would collapse the economy as you elide over.

Market cap doesn't say how much cash they have available. For that, look at cash on hand which publicaly traded companies need to report

MS has about 75B cash on hand, so they could afford this themselves. They will probably argue that it will bring jobs and expertise to the state. ~~Also, it's a loan, so the interest will generate funding for the state as well.~~ nevermind, not a loan from the state, so no interest would go to the state.
