I'm sure.

You knew and talked to lots of people about their decision to rent an uncensored version of holy grail to watch with company despite having recorded the censored version on VHS, because they were embarrassed they had recorded a version that ended up getting censored by cbs?
That seems like a kind of odd thing to converse with "lots of people" about. I mean, shit I can see that coming up in conversation with one neighbor, but that's not the most common situation. LOTS of people???

To clarify: That doesn't mean the space the game takes up is not going to change if there's no additional content.
The file size could grow or shrink depending on what the patch is doing.
Somewhat recently Apex Legends put out a patch that shrunk their install size from 90 gigs to about 50, and you can be sure they didn't remove half the game, they just optimized things.

lol ok, say goodbye to NASA, that's just gone entirely...
We won't be able to afford any R&D, so we'll be stuck with the current level of technology for the rest of ever, provided we can even maintain what we have.
No new military vehicles of any kind can be made.
In fact, nothing at all will be done, because the entire defense budget will be spent on operations and maintenance, and personnel/retirement.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in Eli5: average North American woman is 170 lbs, average height is 5’4”, yet overweight for that height is considered anything above 145 lbs? by [deleted]
piggy backing on this comment, side note, OP: when determining whether someone is overweight, we do not curve the results. If 75% of a population is overweight, that's how it is, we don't adjust our definition of overweight to fit people's inability to be fit.

I'm not sure if you're aware, but the current education budget is like 75 billion and the current military budget is like 750 billion.
You just wanna equalize those? just... 2023 education budget 400 billion, 2023 military budget 400 billion?
you think that's a good idea?

You can't just go "oop halved the defense budget, hope that doesn't cause any national security problems over the next be 20 years."

I mean, I like the chutzpah, but we don't need F-35s in classrooms. we need to increase school funding and decrease military spending, but not equalize them XD

Reply to comment by PD_31 in ELI5: What does deleting emails do? by Significant_Two_4926
well yeah, there's nothing you can ever do about someone else's copy of an email.
PM_ME_A_PLANE_TICKET t1_j24ux3s wrote
I think it's important that you understand that deleting something never truly deletes it.
Whenever some data is stored on a drive, it is stored in a specific location, along with a digital post-it note on it that says "This space is occupied, I'm here."
When you delete something (fully delete, removed from trash, completely gone as far as you can tell) it is not deleted at all. All that happens is that post-it note is switched from occupied to unoccupied.
Then the computer thinks nothing is there and it's allowed to overwrite what is/was there.
It's not actually gone until it has been overwritten, and up until that point, it can be recovered by forensic software.
Google says that deleted emails may take up to 60 days to be completely removed from their servers.
