Over 6 years.

The Alliance said its latest offer would increases wages by nearly 50% over the six-year contract, and triple employer contributions to retirement plans. The offer also would strengthen health care options and keep current language that limits automation.

The union has demanded 77% pay raises over six years to help deal with inflation. Many of the ILA workers can make over $200,000 per year, but the union says they must work large amounts of overtime to reach that figure.

High-end longshoreman wages without overtime are currently around 81k, so that $200k figure is sensationalizing it.

As an American who will be negatively affected by this...

Great! Seems like the perfect time for a strike. I hope they get what they're asking for, but if they don't, I hope they keep it up as long as they need to.

Hah.. I assume you were referencing this, but just in case you're not familiar...

unless you write a letter to your lover in the dragon realm

Tell me more! How does one acquire a lover in the dragon realm?

Firstly, being the second one to commit a war crime does not make the act of doing so any less heinous.

Secondly, do you have any actual evidence you're basing that on, or is it just Israel's word you're taking? Because we know for a fact that Israel bombed civilians, and as far as I've seen, it's just hearsay that they were targeting actual Hezbollah members. On the other hand, we do know for fact that they've used this justification falsely before, so I'm disinclined to believe anything they say, frankly.

is it possible to lose the de jure right to install the game in that way due to licensing issues on GOG’s end

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is that no, you can't. When you buy the game, you've obtained a perpetual license to install and play that game, similar to what you'd have if you bought the game on a disk. You can lose your ability to download the game, that isn't guaranteed to be unlimited or perpetual, but installing it via the installer you downloaded, and playing it once you do, are forever. (This is in contrast to something like Steam, where you rely on their servers granting you permission to install the game, and that permission can be revoked.)

The example in the article reduces a recipe print from 47 pages to 1 by using AI to remove all of the filler garbage and leaves just the recipe instructions. Slightly different than just rearranging elements.

Yeah, the ghetto is always a ghetto. A trailer park can be a ghetto, but isn't always.

It wouldn't seem like too light of a sentence if other relatively minor crimes didn't put poor people in prison for way longer. The solution is to reduce sentences for minor, especially victimless crimes to be in line with these, not the other way around.

GTA4 is 16 years old at this point. Why would you expect it to support DirectX12, which is 7 years newer than the game?
