To be fair to Leslie Jones, she could say that with a face that makes you think she is about to rip your arm off and beat you to death with it... And be entirely joking.... But she will never admit it was a joke, and if you don't get that it was a joke it is your fault for not understanding her...

This is exactly what has gone wrong with Star Wars as well.... They went outside the lines with Midi-chlorians and such in the prequels. Then in the sequels they did the same with things like hyperspace capable planet destroying mid-flight splitting beams apparently instantly visible from any...

Sounds like the government over there is trying to foment rebellion against themselves to me. Nothing like watching people constantly and oppressing them based on what they do to really piss people off.... This kind of thing only works if the punishment is harsh enough to take away their ability...

The thing is that the game itself was never actually bad. It just wasn't even close to what they said it would be.

I agree with this in general. Putting aside for the moment whether or not permission was given.... My main problem is with how people are treating Facebook like it is pure evil when in fact it is an organization that made a mistake, tried to correct it, did not do a great job of correcting it...

Or you can get it from Humble for even less (with BETA).

The only reason the army ordered a copy of this gun is so the guy in charge could fark around with it on the range. They do that all the time. If you work your ass off for 25 years to get in a position to make decisions like this, of course you are going to use it to get your hands on some fun toys.

These aren't even vaguely a problem, at least not after the move from fully autonomous self-driving cars to only partially autonomous ones… Snow: Roads will be plowed, and where necessary salted and graveled in a precisely orchestrated priority order by automated plows. The whole system will...

My answer to the question "If you could have one super power what would it be?" has been the ability to create teleportation portals of any size I like to any place I want, with the portals being move-able using a proportionately large, hard to build and somewhat hard to move, but not actually...

If he said "Yes.... Blah blah reasons, blah our intent blah, blah, explanations, blah.".... You would rip him a new asshole AND have specific statements of his on which to base that ripping. He is NOT saying that he can't and doesn't judge himself (e.g. psychopath territory). He is saying there...

It is "Lies, damned lies, and statistics". Also, traditionally -> means "Equals" or "Leads to". Based on this it appears as if you are saying: Because millenials get a fragmented POS of an offering they prefer multiple large payments for content instead of one small one. It is also not...

To be clear to the DRTFA crowd and the CUTFA crowd.... They are not talking about getting rid of URLs at all. Not even a little bit. All they are suggesting is that, in general, instead of showing you the full URL (which would be unchanged) such as this...

Your reasoning is backwards. With very few exceptions (such as Zimmerman) lawful concealed carriers in the USA are far more likely to walk away from a potential confrontation than the average person. The one real bit of research done in this area shows they commit violent crimes at a rate less...

Okay, that makes sense. I was thinking a totally different direction and wondering if he was conflating Shadowrun and Cyberpunk.

What fantasy stuff are you talking about?
