Roblox is the biggest game in the world, with more monthly players than Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo combined. How much money does it make? (Matthew Ball)
Over the last four quarters, Roblox's income from operations was ($1.2B) on revenues of $3.2B, representing a -38% profit margin.
Oops.

Not as bad as it sounds because Roblox's accounting procedures are properly conservative, and the company is cash flow positive. An interesting look into where all the money goes though.

Tech News

If you're building a budget gaming PC, should you go with the older 6750 XT or the newer 7600 XT given that they are about the same price? (Tom's Hardware)

The 6750 XT. It does use more power but it also delivers noticeably better performance.

Only problem is that since it's no longer made it's disappearing from shelves.
Your $1700 smart bassinet now has a $20 subscription fee. (Independent)

Because of course it does.
A plague of rash-inducing mites has descended upon Illinois. (Ars Technica)

And the DNC as well.
Micro-libraries need to die. (Bvisness)
This is so unbelievably wrong that it should not even be up for debate. But because there is a debate regardless, someone needs to exhaustively and painfully explain why bad practices are bad.
Yes.

This seems to be primarily a problem with Node.js, which is also unbelievably wrong and should not even be up for debate.

Skip, I know you have me beat. I leave at 5:30 am, true, but I'm home by 5 usually (close to an hour's evening commute), and the first two hours at my office are not work at all. Plus, you know, office instead of outdoor work.

A plague of rash-inducing mites has descended upon Illinois.

I saw some huge line of people waiting to be tested for monkeypox in Illinois and I was like WTF? Apparently a rash is one of the symptoms.

I spend a lot of time outside and I've had two rashes recently for no logical reason. Now I think I have an idea why as Pennsylvania is one of the states listed. It went away in a couple of days, but still...

We have flood control/duck ponds for the rainy season, and a community pool.

The pool is probably around 88-89 degrees.

But Oceana Air Station where we were at has a small waterpark. And that was about 78-79 degrees. And that takes some getting used to.

Good "edge" always comes with a wink. Hicks, Carlin, Black, Louis C.K., Bill Burr, all of them, they always drop the mask at some point with a little "I'm full of shit, we're just having a fun little rant here" line.

111 An article in the local paper this weekend about high power bills this Summer. There was a rate increase and people are complaining. Here's what one of the "Energy Commissioners" had to say:

"it’s not cheap to run this grid and keep it reliable, especially when we’re transitioning to clean energy.” Echols said. “As we transition from dirty coal to cleaner things like nuclear and solar and batteries, it’s just more expensive.”

112 In 1984, Mondale pretended he was more moral and honest than Ronald Reagan with his "Ronald Reagan won't tell you he is going to raise your taxes, but I will" shtick.

In 2024, Harris is talking about the huge increase in consumer prices as if she has nothing at all to do with it.

Neither approach works.

115 Experts want to rename Asian carp to something more palatable:

"Officials are optimistic that with the right rebranding, carp can become a desirable commodity for humans, pets, and possibly for both.

"A rebranding kind of campaign for them could potentially bring their price up, making it more economically viable for people to go fish for them," said Ben Meadows, an assistant professor of economics at the University of Alabama Birmingham, per the MinnPost."

135 The pubs finally got around to figuring out what Joe was up to:

"House Republicans issued a blistering report Monday accusing President Biden of committing at least two offenses that would justify his impeachment — delivering a political black eye to Biden just hours before he speaks on the opening night of the Democratic National Convention"

"Joe Biden’s participation in his family’s influence peddling represents — as quantified by sheer dollar amounts flowing to a public official’s personal interests — one of the most egregious abuses of power uncovered in the history of the United States,” it alleges.

As much as $18 million allegedly flowed from foreign entities to “shell companies” and other accounts linked to first family members from “corrupt dealings” that sold the “Biden brand” to associates in Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Russia and China."

Technically she doesn't.

More and more convinced that the former US is being ruled out of London and Brussels than by anywhere else. The USG bureaucrats are directed to torpedo the US(f) wherever possible.

Its really strange seeing people who live in this country actively engage in behavior that makes themselves, their family, their neighbors and most of the country miserable.

145 Mites are like virus: if you get a big dose they will cause symptoms even if you aren't the right host. They won't survive but it can be uncomfortable as they try to. Oak mites, (bird) feather mites, dust, etc mites will all cause itchy rash before they die off.

Relief's from anti-histamines; lotion or tablets. For small areas under 6"X6" peppermint oil works too and is faster.
