That's literally around the corner from where I work. I've been watching that apartment building going up over the last year or so. I saw that video earlier (different source) and I'm glad somebody caught the moment of collapse. When I drove in today, I saw lots of emergency vehicles and...

Thanks @Hailey Knight . I guess I went into it with it advertised that way, so it wasn't a twist to me.

While @grub is right, T1 is only ~1.5Mbps (wiki) I know that it's also been "colloquially" used to mean any kind of dedicated high-speed line. Let's hope it's something better, considering I have Gigabit to my HOUSE (and I get at least 60% of that to international locations too), so 1.5Mbps is...

Britain has had absolute monarchies AFTER the Magna Carta was signed (1215). Remember, once you say "the military will X" the only "force" that matters is force of arms. Force of Law means jack shit at that point. The next most formidable thing at that point tends to be the force of the...

I saw the movie long ago and forget the twist.

I'd say this has more to do with the CRAPTACULAR state of copyright law (life of the author plus 75 (85? 95?) years) and how long things are literally locked up for. Separate discussion on abuse of power for what gets made and marketed new (which is more about monopoly IMO).

Explain please. My understanding is that JJ did fine on 7, then Rian came in and fucked everything up royally in 8. I might not agree with all (or many) of the decisions in 7, but it was fine, entertaining, etc IMO. It was 8 that was the facepalm after facepalm of terrible decisions. So how...

Given how many "colony" types of animals work, as well as other weird shit, I'd bet it heavily depends on the species. But I'm not a biologist, so... ? That said, I think that the truth is somewhere between what @figmentPez and @AshburnerX suggest. Or maybe just keeping the species "alive"...

Both seem better than when https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfonso_Gagliano was appointed. To be fair this was revealed AFTER he was ambassador. He was given the appointment to get him out of Cabinet because he was involved in the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sponsorship_scandal That this is...

Are you people serious? If somebody on Fox News said "We did an internal review, and we're completely Fair and Balanced, not right-wing biased at all!" how many people here (or anywhere) would believe them? So when Facebook is accused of it, and does the same thing, but from the other side of...

Awesome discussion about colour. To add to it: Mix in Gamma Correction in here and you can have some REAL fun: http://www.ericbrasseur.org/gamma.html That webpage might also be titled "I didn't realize how much my monitor sucked."

Who's paying for the boxes? Oh right, they're all trying to watch without paying at all. The barrier just doesn't defeat the tall spectator. The others need help to defeat the barrier. The taller one is obviously oppressing the other two by not sharing the cost of the boxes. Also, on the...

Oh I'm sure that's not enough, but when trying to get on a "glad hand" list, being a "top donor" is always going to help grease the wheels. It's that it's BOTH PARTIES that's the headline.

This is a little older, but still always good to remember At least 20 people donated max to both Liberals and Conservatives in 2018. https://beta.ctvnews.ca/national/politics/2019/7/29/1_4527435.html Cash for access. It's a thing.

For reference for others: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_Arda The funniest part here is that it's on Wikipedia. Not some LotR fan-wiki, but real wikipedia. I think that's awesome.

@HCGLNS I think this is what you heard about : https://www.firefighternation.com/articles/2019/08/armed-firefighter-stops-armed-man-at-missouri-walmart.html Obviously biased source, but it was literally the first result in Google for this one with what little I remembered hearing about it.

Where exactly are you getting your information from man? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_MacNaughton I heard about how he's retiring. That's fine. But what's the joke (or something) with the 31 years thing?

So, everybody here finished the 80 MSQ? Talking without spoiler tags would be awesome. And btw Eden is nice, though people can be idiotic. Last night I had to rez about 8 times in Eden 4 regular (and that was on Summoner). The red mage in particular I think was taking a dirtnap the majority...

I think you're mis-replying Dei. My OP was about how amazed I was, and was more complimenting those that were. I'm not surprised most of those live at/close to the border. The reply you quoted (which I did again here for clarity) was specifically for @AshburnerX 's post.

You've got to be talking about Europeans, as I can't image Canadians having that problem.
