I remember back when it wasn't a foregone conclusion who would win with Blu-ray vs HD-DVD that one prediction made was that Porn was going Blu-ray. And we know who won that format war too. That prediction referenced the earlier Betamax vs VHS format war as well.

You mean break them up so that they have regional monopolies instead of national ones, making the service just as shit as ever due to the lack of competition? Then 30 years later, it'll re-form, just as (or more) scummy than ever, and still powerful and unchallenged? If you break somebody up...

If you want FAR more fun, try defining "left-wing" and "right-wing", with concrete examples of "this government is/was left wing because A, B, C" and "this government is/was right wing because D, E, F" And try and make your definitions fit AT LEAST the following from WWII: Communist China...

Emphasis mine there. Isn't that sentence fragment contradictory, and against your wiki-quoted definition of terrorism? If it's targeted, it's not indiscriminate. If it's indiscriminate, it's not just some groups. A good "positive" definition of a terrorist event (by your wiki standards)...

Two questions on this one: Is there a "reasonable" reference frame we have that would change the answer versus "relative to the sun"? I'm thinking maybe relative to the center of the galaxy (or some other much further out point) if in that moment the probe was going against the spin of the...

My Mom was a Nurse for ~50 years, and she worked in a Gastrointestinal unit for part of that time. Apparently in case of "emergency" (a relative term in this case) there's something they give you in the hospital that will have you cleaned out in an hour or two (maybe less, this is an old...

If they started you at level 2, they are "bending the rules" more than a bit on Adventurer's League rules. Some other DMs will ban your character from their table since they didn't start at 1. If you don't advertise it though, nobody will care. I'm just warning you that it could be a thing...

Doesn't have ANYTHING to do with software engineers being bad at their jobs IMO. Just link this instead:

One of the best quotes from the movie: I haven't seen that movie in quite a few years, but I remember liking it, even if it also has some disturbing scenes in it.

Given your age, aren't you required to be super-Republican? Like, the percentage republican goes up with age, so you must be the hyper-example. :whistling:

I'm pretty sure a number of people on here disagree with you on that. I don't, but still.

And no additional power to actually effect change either. You will just be responsible for anything and everything that goes wrong for doing what you were told to do.

Given that "Ghost Pepper" is the first thing on the "disclaimer", that's what I was expecting.

The Alberta number there doesn't quite capture it IMO: Provinces raked in revenue on day one of cannabis sales So that $730,000 is for ONLINE ONLY. All the brick-n-mortar stores are above and beyond that, but judging by the Nova Scotia numbers where there was TEN TIMES the brick-n-mortar sales...

Pfft. Amateurs. From Wikipedia: You have an 81°F difference in your weather map there, and that's "feels like" as well, which could be more than actual. 74°F of ACTUAL TEMPERATURE change happened in ONE HOUR (second link here). And look at the rest of that article about Chinooks. This type...

OP: Response: Comment on comment: Where did I say that I was talking about 1992-2000? I thought that it had been mentioned regarding 2009-2010, which is 10 years later (at least). Like I said, this is an old memory, but at least somebody was claiming even 100% taxation above $100k would...

I can't find it through searching right now, but I thought there was something from '09 or '10 (or something) that stated that if the USA's tax rate on everything over $100,000 was 100% (and everything else the same), they still would have a deficit. If true, they have a SPENDING problem more...

I have "bad memories" of this editor because of the job I was at that I was "forced" to use it. Long story, I can't use that one anymore.

I can give you her work email address if you want to "play" with her... :P
