What is this, a crossover episode?

Meh. I just wish XML was easier to parse. I have to shuttle a lot of XML data back and forth. As far as I can tell, the only way to query the data is to download a whole engine to run a special query language, and that doesn't really integrate into any of my workflows. JSON retains the hierarchy and is trivially parsed in almost any programming language. I bet a JSON file containing the exact same data would be much smaller also, since you don't list each tag twice.

My employer has their own power plant and gardens and I got to go on a "field trip" to both of those places and yeah, it was pretty dope. They sent out an invite asking the department if we wanted to go check out these places, so I signed up figuring it would be a good networking opportunity. It was, I connected with a bunch of people. Plus i got to see the inside of a power plant, how cool is that? More employers should do this.

That will pay for like an hour. The dude is screwed.

Training an AI to kill humans on sight is a horrifying prospect

Or they wanted to play off that kneejerk reaction to get you engaged. Ciri studied under Triss, Yen, and Avala'ch and knows actual magic. They could just be the more powerful actual versions of what witchers try and emulate.

"Swing low sweet chariot" basically means "for the love of all that is holy please please let today be the day I finally die and end this"

Speak for yourself, Alexios was hot!

I was talking to my cousin (journalist) a while ago and she told me how she was supposed to interview a whistleblower for Anaheim PD. I snarkily commented something like, "yeah but let me guess he shot himself twice in the back of the head" and she alarmingly said "...yeah, how did you know?"

Have done that since 2014 and do not regret it one bit. 10/10 do recommend.

So then don't buy it at launch and wait until it goes on sale. CP2077 ended up in a excellent state. Then you have the bonus of supporting only their fixed products while also not paying full price.
