It was a thing back in the day. Its just that the day was 30 odd years ago.

Punk Punk is an umbrella term:
They varied considerably, but all have one of the following in common with cyberpunk:
- A world built around a particular technology that is pervasive and extrapolated to a highly sophisticated level.
- A gritty or transreal urban style.
- A cyberpunk-inspired approach to exploring social themes within a Speculative Fiction setting.
The numbers on fuelwatch have rolled over for the new day now but when I was looking last night there was around 5-10% variation within each day but also a 15-20% price drop from Tuesday to Wednesday. By min-maxing across both days I could a min that was 25% lower than the max.
The range would be much less impressive if we only had access to a single days prices.
For a pretty extreme example consider, as you say, a large 25-gal tank, and filling up from dry twice a week, at an average of $0.10/gal non-optimal price: you pay an annual premium of $260 bucks not to drive yourself batty hunting for pennies, and burning at least a tiny bit more fuel to do it.
Since 2001 here in WA we have a system where petrol stations have to lock in their price for a day by announcing it the afternoon before. The highlights used to be mentioned on the local news and newspaper (maybe they still are, who knows?). But more importantly they all get published on https://www.fuelwatch.wa.gov.au/ so its pretty trivial to visit the site in the afternoon and check the stores along the commute home, plus you can also compare their tomorrow price to see if you should wait until then.
Looking at that site right now I can see 25% variance across my commute without even considering a detour. Its a pretty handy system.
The idea is quite old:
Shortly after the 1859 publication of Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species, the British biologist Thomas Henry Huxley proposed that birds were descendants of dinosaurs. He compared the skeletal structure of Compsognathus, a small theropod dinosaur, and the “first bird” Archaeopteryx lithographica (both of which were found in the Upper Jurassic Bavarian limestone of Solnhofen). He showed that, apart from its hands and feathers, Archaeopteryx was quite similar to Compsognathus.
But having fossil evidence is quite young:
One of the earliest discoveries of possible feather impressions by non-avian dinosaurs is a trace fossil (Fulicopus lyellii) of the 195–199 million year old Portland Formation in the northeastern United States. Gierlinski (1996, 1997, 1998) and Kundrát (2004) have interpreted traces between two footprints in this fossil as feather impressions from the belly of a squatting dilophosaurid.
Yeah I bought an X and 1TB expansion card at launch.
If they had 2tb models (console or card) I would have happily purchased them instead, but I’m not going to buy another console/card as an upgrade I’ll just make do with what I have.
I might be missing the joke but its trailer title card lists PS5, Xbox Series, and PC.
I feel like all games that are “online” should be required to have an offline playable version as well.
On that subject Australians still have 2 days to sign their survey:
(Plenty of other thing’s for non -Aussies too, just calling out the most pressing deadline)
These guys sell a physical tracker so there must be some interest in the concept.

Of course year-on-year console sales have dropped.
Series/PS5 are mid gen:
Switch is late gen:
I would expect most current console sales to be replacing failed units.

All good, The comment I replied to has been edited to specify monotheism after I wrote my reply.
If you are like me, and you also like the NSA, feel free to contribute and add more fun facts!
Its a fun read
That’s only one (narrow) definition of a god.
To take a well known example, is Loki “good”?
Backports for supported versions sure,.
That’s why there is an incentive to limit support to latest and maybe one previous release, it saves on the backporting burden.
That would be good, I’m all for more cross platform licensing and PC-Console is the obvious bridge as there isn’t the direct competition that console-console would have.
On mobile they tend to be rounding the corners of the screen instead :/
Every day will have its new players
Its a early Easter this year, I would expect it start last week of March
But which regions code are you referring to?
