InB4 “Uranus seen in true colors for first time.”

Really though, I don’t know why it never crossed my mind that the picture of Neptune was so… saturated. It’ll take a little bit to reconcile this new perspective of a “light bluish-green” Neptune. It’s just so jarring to alter a belief held since my childhood.

I imagine there were 2 primary reasons, one financial, one personal:

Number of heavy users (including a lot of mods) would’ve forced Christian to implement an open-ended cost model based on individual usage, or raise rates across the board to compensate, making it ultimately cost-prohibitive for the average user, and/or

Not wanting to communicate (by folding) such a change was okay. To move to a blanket cost model is to basically admit that you’re okay with and accept the changes.

Some might say it was pure stubbornness and greed, or conclude his decision was a bad one. That’s its own topic for debate I guess.

I’m interested in helping out

That is a sacrifice I am willing to make!

“and would be an apocalyptically huge lawsuit.”

Apocalyptically huge lawsuit, here we come!!!

That sucks man. There’s something especially upsetting knowing how and why a loved one died, and that there was nothing that could've been done differently.

My Grandpa died of thyroid cancer from these tests. He lived in south-central Utah and remembers feeling tremors from testing on his wedding day.

Rumor is that Twitter didn’t want to renew its Google Storage contract, but the migration to the new system is taking longer than expected. Now that it’s July 1, everything’s going to shit.

Again, that’s the rumor.

Who the FUCK is spez? Sounds like the name of some mentally deranged, wholly incompetent groomer. The only name I can think of that’s stupider is, idk, something like “Steve Huffman.”

He addressed that a bit ago. That kind of undertaking would be pretty big, since the data structure on the back end is so much different. It’s not out of the question, but not something he wants to do right now.
