Surprises me you remember that; first you train with a madman with two hooks for hands (meathook?). Then you meet Carla. Her answers differ from what you trained.

It was one of the "classic games" of it's time.
I likes the bit where you can fall off a cliff, and got the Sierra "You died! Game over!" message box.
My heart sank ... and then it changed to Guybrush bouncing off a rubber tree and back onto the cliff edge.

I like the way he can stay under water for 10 mins. There's a short moment under water, with not much clickables. But stay there for 10 minutes, and you die

Have some more from me. You gave me some when I reached 10000. You're only 25x my points. Your surname's anagram is definitely wrong (I remember you using it as a CCC several years ago).

Thanks!
I was in your place once, for a very brief moment, I think

I did use it in a CCC once, can't remember what it was though
Only CCC I've ever made though
I also guessed "opera" from some weird character "art" once so I was next, think I made some similar "art" that time, which was guessed right away.

That's a classic Canadian favorite but getting scarce because of them Dam Beavers. Now they just hope to hear about it from brown cows.

Mine doesn't wait for dessert before doing that: he does it before and after eating. (And would probably do it during if he thought he'd get away with it...)

Oh wait, you typed "mousse", not "moose".

Get the EU to have a stake in keeping the plant running[^] instead of lawsuits to against them to subsidize their expenses.
I do hope, if this goes through, that the US doesn't kick in money to build the plant unless it's to be built in the US. I mean, really, do you think the EU would kick in to subsidize building a plant in the US.
A subsidy is not an investment with a return; just a give-away: the jobs will be in the EU, and surely the VAT - so it's pretty clear who's benefiting from the site location.
Now, some good fallout from such a project would be putting Asia (China) on notice that the west really is pulling out of being held by the short-hairs for, well, just about everything.

In theory it is; doesn't have to be a monetary return, but it should have some measurable benefit, like lower crime rates or similar.
W∴ Balboos, GHB wrote: just a give-away
Yeah, that's how it goes in practice
But it's not real money we giving, it's fiat, and there's a lot more where that's coming from. According to our economists, breaking a window is a gift for the economy, especially if you wounded in the process.
W∴ Balboos, GHB wrote: the jobs will be in the EU, and surely the VAT
If in the Netherlands, they'll hardly be taxed. Because "jobs", and if we no tax-haven, those jobs go somewhere else. So, we a tax-paradise for those kind of companies.
No, not much jobs; they put their headquarters here for taxes, and the real plants somewhere else.

Yeah, well, we subsidize China, since it is a third world country, according to definitions.

It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine
Can't even explain how dire it is; I just sound like an old man explaining to youth how it used to be better in our time, when we had to walk 50 kilometers through snow, hunted by wolves.

Your inferences from this article are even more confused than your usual.
1) Intel's EU and US "initiatives" to seek subsidies are completely separate: the inference the US would even consider subsidizing a plant in the EU is lunacy.
2) both US and EU may view in-country major chip fabs and capacity as a strategic (military, economic) investment given global geo-politics (read: ascendency of China; danger of chip shortages). That's the big carrot Intel is trying to dangle.
I find the omission of any mention of Russia in the article: interesting.
