How has every single game company not modeled their drop programs after @tarkov
They are best in class when it comes to drops and usually 1-2 times a year some creators make yearly salary’s in days, and most have their best weeks of the year because of these events.
TAKE NOTES

The utter irony of Putin and Trump meeting soon in Budapest to jointly seal Ukraine’s fate should not be lost on anybody. This is the very same city where the US, the UK, and Russia came together 31 years ago to give Ukraine ironclad assurances that its territorial integrity would be respected and protected within existing borders in exchange for giving up a third of the world’s nuclear weapons (to Russia!). Ukraine trusted the US, trusted the UK, transferred all its nuclear weapons to Russia, and joined the Non-Proliferation Treaty.
Within 20 years, Putin effectively ripped up the Budapest Memorandum, ignored Russia’s pledge, and invaded and annexed Crimea. In 2022, Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine finally removed all remaining doubts about Putin’s imperial greed.
If treaties and agreements between countries are to be trusted, the US and the UK must stand by the original Budapest Memorandum and give the Ukrainians everything they need to push Russia out of Ukraine, as President Trump said he would do before taking Putin’s latest call. It is the only way for Ukraine to get its territory back and put an end to this brutal invasion.
If the US and Russia continue to ignore the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, how on Earth can Ukraine be expected to have any faith in yet another Budapest memorandum signed in the same city between Russia and the United States? They can’t.

❗️ NATO chief Rutte warns Putin of a devastating response if Russia attacks the alliance.
Speaking in Warsaw alongside Polish PM Donald Tusk, he declared: "If anyone thinks they can get away with attacking Poland or any NATO ally, they will face the full might of our powerful Alliance. Our response will be crushing."

What if F1 had no rules?
A former F1 engineer, Sébastien LAMOUR has spent 15 years answering that question.
The result? A car that could lap 15 seconds faster than current F1 machines.
Let that sink in for a moment...

Political discussions right now are indistinguishable from flat earth debates. It's all conspiracy theories, moving goalposts, intellectual dishonesty, & logical fallacies. When you make a team your identity rather than pursuing the truth, you become a cult member.

When you think of touring car racing, series like DTM, BTCC, and JTCC in Europe and Japan usually come to mind. But did you know that North America also gave touring car racing a shot? And it was awesome. Imagine E36 BMWs, Honda Accords, Dodge Stratuses, and even Pontiac Sunfires battling it out on American soil
The North American Touring Car Championship (NATCC) only lasted for two seasons, from 1996 to 1997. It was a short-lived attempt to create a touring car racing series in North America, based on the regulations of the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC). Despite having manufacturer support and a competitive field, it struggled with low audience interest and high costs, leading to its cancellation after the 1997 season.

Wow. Ford CEO @jimfarley98:
“We are just in love with these monster vehicles ... We have to start to get back in love with smaller vehicles. It’s super important for our society and for EV adoption.”
👏👏👏

We need to be doing everything we can to turn Canada into the best place for entrepreneurs to build 🇨🇦
What's proposed in the federal budget will do the complete opposite. Innovators and entrepreneurs will suffer and their success will be penalized -- this is not a wealth tax, it's a tax on innovation and risk taking.
Our policy failures are America's gains. At a time when our country is facing critically low productivity and business investment our political leaders are failing our country's entrepreneurs.
Please start listening to the people in the arena.

It’s tragic what’s happening with with Canadian regulation in this space. It’s probably well meaning, but extremely bad. Push back and let’s focus on building Housing, companies, infrastructure, wealth, and trust. This does none of that.
Great piece from @acoyne on the disastrous Bills C-11 and C-18
“The law, in short, is an utter fiasco, a policy catastrophe on a grand scale.”
