If they go into a GameStop and walk up to the counter with a copy of the game, there's a good chance the guy behind the counter might warn them away from it.
Wait. You're seriously suggesting that a retail employee would say stuff that drives revenue away from the store? That's the fastest way to get shitcanned in retail.
In early 20th century Europe, science was divided into two dominant camps English and German. Scientists generally would be presenting findings to members of one camp or another. There was a little event in the first half of the 20th century where we saw scientists being rejected by the German camp due to antisemitism. Individuals like Einstein were an exception to this.
Actually, I like this little gem of a logical fallacy in atheists.
Something isn't science if it doesn't follow the scientific method. The Catholic Church's prosecution of Copernicus is a prime example of how religion is anti-science.
Copernicus died in 1543. The scientific method was truly laid out by Descartes in 1637.
So by their own statements, the church's prosecution of Copernicus could not possibly anti-science since science didn't exist in Copernicus's lifetime since the scientific method had yet to be established.
So something is only science if it follows the scientific method? We can ignore that science did not always means scientific method or that the scientific method didn't even come about until some time in the 17th century.
The historical precedents of invading Russia in the winter contain very valuable information regarding how to not invade Russia during the winter.
That is, make sure you have a supply line. Napoleon was forced to retreat from Moscow towards Smolensk which had previously been torched by Russian troops as they retreated from Smolensk to Moscow. After his army got checked trying to advance on St. Petersburg he had hoped that taking Moscow would force the Russians to capitulate. The Germans had planned for their Blitzkrieg to succeed quickly against Russian and never setup the supply lines to support their armies. There were also some strategic blunders on the Germans which permitted the Russians to envelope and destroy an entire army group. Not really something you want to do if you're trying to... you know.... win.
The world at large has been aiming for a reunified Korea, even if it is a long way off but I don't think very many want Korea unified under North Korea due to the inevitable worsening of the standard of living for South Koreans. So the question is one of whether people would accept China annexing N.Korea in order to get rid of the silliness of N.Korea. I don't think it would happen.
Of course, I still lay the entire problem with Korea at the feet of MacArthur.
On a side note, the OP is wrong even without going beyond the those who identify themselves as LGB. It's 3.5%, not less than 2% - 1.7% are those who identify as ONLY gay or lesbian, the rest of them being bisexual. So even the number of declared LGB humans is TWICE as much as the OP claims.
The OP was responding with 2% being gay to the statement that 5-10% of the population is gay. I've not heard the term gay used much beyond homosexuals though maybe the term does include bisexuals. So you essentially support his claim by pointing out 1.7% are homosexual while it doubles when you include bisexuals.
You mean cutting White House tours while at the same time the DHS put out an open PO for 1.6bn rounds of ammunition, spends $50m on new uniforms, and buys over 2,700 MRAPs?
The economic cost in Indiana was likely able to be calculated because of the switch to observing DST by the parts of the state that weren't already doing so.
A lot of spam is done via spambots. So how do you ding the bill against the actual spammer (the people controlling the spambots) rather than the individuals who have the infected PCs and are sending spam unaware? There's nothing right or just in sending the innocent a bill for acts they did not consciously perform.
I thought they backed down because the FFA/TSA threatened to prohibit flights to and from various cities in Texas. The time it would have taken them to fight it in the courts would have cost Texans a lot due to the inability to utilizes the airspace.
No, it isn't logical. They could have written the game so that when the host disconnects, a new person is elected as the new host. It may have been somewhat more complicated, but would have saved them massive amounts of required infrastructure and support.
SimCity is not a synchronous game. If that were the case then your suggestion would make more sense. All players do not need to be playing at the same time, which you've already conceded. So let's look at what would be a very common case. The final player (the final server) quits. This would require the region to be saved to a server if any other player (besides the final host) were to decide to play so that they could get a copy of the region in order to start hosting. So why bother with host swapping (which causes an interruption no matter how you perform it) when at the end of the day you need to store the region on the servers anyway?
My school evac'd to the football field bleachers. I realized then the idiocy of that since all it meant was a potential bomber need setup the bomb under the bleachers before calling in the bomb threat.
A lot of gerrymandering is required by the Voting Rights Act in order to create minority majority districts so that minorities can be guaranteed to have representation. Simply putting 51% of a minority in a district is not sufficient either. That's a fairly significant contributing factor to the oddly shaped districts. Given the way minorities generally vote, this favors Republicans.

PC games can't be returned if they're opened and the only way to realize you might have been fucked by a game is to install and start playing it.

Times change, technology moves one.

Without testing those explanations, it's not science.
Then science did not exist until the 17th century.

That is all well and good but the proper response to that problem is a finite fine rather than an unbounded tax.
Horrible idea.

After he beached himself on a concrete divider.
I was going to say the fact that he pretty much charged his army towards China's border with N.Korea after destroying and routing the NKA.
Hey. When a dude steals a tank and drives around LA, how are the police supposed to stop that? /sarcasm
Specifically they bought MRAPs. In other words, the DHS is outfitting their grunts better than the US military.

A huge portion of that can be laid at the feet of MacArthur.
