i dont think doran is the primary reason t1 is losing idk. like he is losing to bin and it crrates a pressure point that they can use to translate around but it hasnt really landed on bin’s shoulders yet to take the team across the line.

This is what happen when @lolesports allow bigotry and misogyny to continue to grow in the sewerage of our community. It's the most important event of the year and some people are spending more time harassing women who work for you than watching the game.

I checked out this Rookie interview by Strafe Esports where he said he wants to continue to play which is a great sign, cuz we all know if Rookie plays then there is also a high chance that TheShy will play too and continue. That is good to read after Worlds.

How mass effect 2 came together in 18 months successfully:
- It was the same team that shipped mass effect. Teams often have a lot of turn over, the core team stayed on for mass effect 2.
- We knew the timeline up front (I believe the dragon age 2 team had their schedule pulled in six months or more which was rough(
- We struggled a lot shipping mass effect 1 on unreal and we made a lot of mistakes. We came into mass effect 2 knowing how to build with unreal.
- We were ruthless about limiting scope. Mass Effect 1 was a much higher scope game and we had to cut about half of it just to ship. The team hated that and it was wasteful because a lot of work didn't ship. We cut our scope to the bone early on so no work was wasted.
- We listened to the player feedback on mass effect 1 and used that to decide what to cut, what to keep, and what to improve.
Mass effect 2 was not perfect, but it benefited so much from setting realistic achievable goals given the short development timeline.

It actually IS the role of government to provide for you. Living in a society is a trade off of relinquishing some of your personal sovereignty for stability and material comfort. If the government doesn't provide you with ANYTHING you're just being oppressed

The dairy industry has tried to blame wild birds for spreading bird flu between their facilities.
It turns out they are the ones spreading it, by shipping cows to feedlots and slaughterhouses.
“Cattle movement consistently explained interstate viral spread more strongly than geographic proximity”
— Discussion, p. 18
“we found no evidence that wild birds contributed to the geographic spread of B3.13 among dairy cattle.”
— Discussion, p. 18
“each week of delay in policy implementation was associated with an additional median 11–12 infected counties per week”
— Counterfactual simulations, PDF p. 16
“Real-time effluent or wastewater monitoring could reduce detection times further still, potentially to days rather than weeks or months.”
— Discussion, p. 20.
