I’m not speaking to my use case, I’m speaking about the market as a whole.

You can buy an Ultra Blu-ray burner along with 100 GB discs. There are alternatives already out there on the market and it likely wouldn’t be a major jump tech wise to get up to the TB range. People used to have binders full of data, this would continue that trend. Yet no one it’s developing it, including Chinese tech companies.

I’m not doubting that there are use cases out there; I can even think of a use case for me. Yet, the market demand out there doesn’t seem to be worth it where any company wants to take that leap.

That Sony is abandoning physical media for games when it won two generations for discs based on its gaming consoles is a giant red flag.

Here, it is usually because I didn’t say things in the right way some leftists want.

If the world was crying out for it, a company would have developed a standard by now.

There may be a market, but it is the fraction of what it was 20 years ago.

Can’t be drunk all day if you don’t start in the morning.

Hope you wake up with all your fingers.

Very few people post depressing stuff on Instagram.

This is unpopular, in part because the most annoying thing about Jordan Peterson isn’t that he eats meat a lot.

Seems like California doesn’t require AC for habitability, but mandates landlord repair and maintenance if the service was provided when the lease was signed and the tenant moved in. Sounds like since you have AC, your landlord is required to provide it to at least one of the tenants unless it was newly installed.

It is a lawyer summary instead of the code, but feel free to dig into the California legal code if you want to argue back.

You wanted ideas of how it could happen and I gave the possible explanation. If you want to argue in front of the judge that an open window isn’t enough of a waste to warrant eviction, go on ahead.

No. There may be other ways. They can look up the law and there might be an out for opening a window. I don’t know. However, based on the limited information given to me, this is likely the excuse given by the landlord to kick out OP.

You’re right, OP likely isn’t responsible for AC. That’s why the owner controls the AC, likely because they are legally required to provide AC. That’s what I said originally.

However, it is usually written into the law that tenants can’t waste landlord provided utilities, and this sounds like the argument that the landlord is making to the town. It sounds like this is just an excuse for the landlord to kick OP out, but this isn’t an argument that I’m making is good.

You keep mixing me up with the landlord.

Edit: It turns out I am somewhat wrong. CA law requires that, if AC is provided, it must be restored by the landlord in case the AC breaks at the landlord’s cost alone. Tenants are legally able to withhold rent due to a broken AC.

Therefore, there is no legal way for OP as a tenant to take over AC costs.

I haven’t read the agreement, in part because OP didn’t provide it. I’m just providing a probable means in which the landlord could be using in order to push OP out on the street.

A requirement to provide a means of air conditioning is common in the warmer parts of the USA; it is a reason why the summer increased death toll stays so low despite lethal summer temperatures. It also depends on how the law is written; someone else would need to read the law to see if opening a window is considered acceptable or not.

And for everyone making trying to make a moral argument to me about this, I’m not making a moral argument. I’m trying to explain the possible legal mechanism that is occurring where the landlord is trying to push out OP as a way for OP to look at ways to defend themselves.

Your lease may not specifically say that you have to keep windows closed, but it is likely that there is a requirement for the landlord to provide air conditioning. Requirements like this usually have a stipulation that the renter not waste the provided utility. That’s what your landlord is likely dinging you with, since the landlord is providing AC.

The only way to deal with it is that you’d have to sign off on taking ownership of the air conditioning. However, since it sounds like you have roommates given your fear of catching COVID at home, that doesn’t seem likely.

It also seems likely that this is going to follow you to whatever rental living arraignment you have. Unless you are contractually taking full ownership of providing air conditioning to a liveable temperature, you’re going to run into someone telling to keep the windows closed.

I wouldn’t be too surprised for some of the instances.

What other animal eats hot food? Has it ever been something to select for?

But dub con hetero and original mpreg Omegaverse fiction kind of answers some of the underlying questions that OP is asking.

The sexy werewolf in these stories exhibit certain traits which align with the male gender over the female gender. Outside of furry fiction, I don’t know what a woman werewolf taps into.

In contrast, vampires seem to be more gender balanced. There are a lot of stories out there of a woman vampire seducing an acolyte and her being a woman can be part of the story and not distract from the allure.

And when I like this, people think that I have a fetish.

There was a major collapse of the Democratic Party in 1968 which never really recovered until Obama: Carter got elected because of Watergate, Bill Clinton got elected because of Perot.

And bad as it looks in retrospect, Nixon and Reagan were very popular presidents at the time.

The bigger deal was that, for the elections from Nixon’s second term to Reagan’s second term, there wasn’t a major Democratic base in a state which varied differently from the nation. Bill Clinton had a near equivalent percentage of the vote in 1996 yet lost 19 states.

Yeah, but we’re already at a point of subscription multiplayer, significant DLC, and major patching already. There may be a market still for discs, but physical rental is mostly dead.

We’re already at a point where the physical space to sell media in stores has shrunk substantially over the past decade. We just might be at a point where it is small enough to no longer be worth supporting it.

I think it will depend on the studio. Not every studio is going to take the Nintendo approach.
