When they did this, were they able to sort out which octopodes were expressing extreme fatherly tendencies, combined with elaborate camouflage meant to disguise the number of limbs?
Can the scientists help these particular specimens walk with a more natural gait without getting tentacles stuck to everything?
Feel free to scan above for my other thoughts, but here's one aimed at your suggestion: I can't drink water with meals. It adds no flavor, and if I follow a mouthful of food with a water sip, it just "feels" wet, rather than flavored. I have no specific objection to water otherwise.
For a good long while, I tried to keep the ratio of Diet Coke : water, while at work, at 3:2. So 3 cans plus about 24 oz. of water while at work. At home, I wasn't as diligent with water to offset the 2 remaining cans.
So long as they keep the filters in our office water unit clean, I don't mind drinking water. And our fridge at home has nice cold water I partake of, but more sparingly.
Recently, due partly to stresses, I've slacked on the water but have been minding my intake lately.
Ah, but I was a little vague. About 6 years ago, I was 235. After the Diet Coke switch was on for several months, I was down to about 188. Went from a snug size 38/40 to a comfy 36. For about 3 years I hovered between 185 and 190 consistently.
Then, about 2 years ago, I ran into some personal and professional issues which have led to an increase in stress-eating and a slight decrease in activity. Hence the 15-ish pounds of gain. And I must have typoed or my math coprocessor went flaky because I'm still 35, not 25, pounds under my pre-DC days.
400?! Amateur. When I switched, I averaged 5 Cokes per day for about 700 calories. The switch to diet 6-odd years ago made an immediate difference with no other marked change in diet. Even 6 years on I'm still about 25 pounds under my pre-diet-Code days.
Um, why bother with the downloading at all? If you stay away, isn't that having the same effect? Actually, sine a number of content owners are now using piracy rates as an indicator of viewership (HBO and AMC, to name two) wouldn't you be giving the studios the impression they're doing something right?
As much as I'd love these brain-dead studios to waste money on more stupid, making Pixels 2 means some other marginal-but-original project may not get made...
And just how do you plan to move that much money? At some point, I expect a large deposit landing in the account of a state lottery employee (or worse, a recently-quit one) would raise some eyebrows.
You and I may be set to disagree, and that's fine. 'Merica, and all that. Here's how a car and a gun differ. If I point my car towards you, on the sidewalk and rev my engine, I'm threatening you. If instead, I exit my car and draw a gun and point it towards you, I'm still threatening you.
The key difference that most people make here is the fact that a gun can threaten over a fair distance, with nearly-instantaneous effect. The car cannot. Also, once I fire a round, that bullet will go wherever physics and aim dictate and there's no changing my mind. If I "surge" my car towards you, or stomp on the gas full-tilt or whatever, up until the point I actually squish you underneath I can change direction or velocity relatively easily.
Also, let's not forget that the car has a commonly-accepted-by-society purpose. Transportation. People screw up, or make poor choices and yes, others are hurt or killed. But a gun has basically one purpose - to damage or destroy a target. The moment you point it at a person, they aren't expecting you to trick-shot the diamond off their ring, or light their cigarette. They expect to be threatened with lethal force for whatever reason the gunman offers.
This list of yours? My reality isn't quite this bad but you have the right of it. THIS is why we need dash cams. Good ones, looking fore and aft with a wide enough view to deal with stuff like the cyclists and biker's lane splitting shenanigans.
It wasn't the case this time (the video is quite informative!) but I've been hit just for coming to complete stops at red lights. Too many other drivers assume you'll do the "California roll" when making a right on red that people who actually stop (regardless of traffic) fluster them. So sick of seeing people's bumpers get that close then screech to a halt right behind me.
I would agree with you except I've been rear-ended and almost hit (sometimes with tire lockup) simply because I choose to stop at red lights before turning right, even if the traffic is clear. I seriously want a dashcam so the next time I get hit in this situation I'll be able to demonstrate I was following the rules when I was hit, regardless of what the fellow behind me is ranting on about.
Look, I'm not a perfect driver but to assume others will break the rules as you do is just asking for trouble.
Maybe for the first picosecond of its existence. It may truly have wanted to shed light on unusually close ties between critic and dev. But my God man, how many hate-filled tweets of vitriol aimed at these women, tagged with #GamerGate have you seen?
Let me see if I have this right: You're positing she has a volunteer (or perhaps compensated) army of Twitter users with orders to publicly harass her online. And she wants Patreon money to hire a person or people to combat this army? Seems a hghly-inefficient way to make money...
Regardless of what you believe Ms. Wu experienced, do you truly not know any women in software or gaming who've experienced the kind of awful "boy's only club" attitudes and sometimes downright literal sexual harassment?
If you haven't heard it enough yet, you and your fellow devs'/critics'/gamers' example of not letting these regrettably small-minded folk drive you away from your passions is truly inspiring. Now the question:
How has what you experienced / currently experience affected your dev and planning processes? Does it enter into your spitballing/design sketch/engineering phases at all? Are you making certain decisions to emphasize your position(s) or expose theirs?
Because I'm bored... I think he would be fine if the market ConCast competed in was remotely fair. But with the usual municipality / utility contract exclusivity, they're often the only viable option in a given area. If the Utilities Commissions were forced to merely regulate the, you know, UTILITY of a service and the claims and promises behind a person's use of it, then we'd have two or three high-speed providers competing to offer good service at decent rates,
Though, as I hear it, such unrestricted competition would lead to boondocks areas being underserved because there's no tie-in incentive to serve them and far less potential return, for heavy infrastructure services at least.
I'm suffering from a sense of gluttony then. I have TMo's unlimited-unlimited option on my line (the rest are the 2.5GB / mo with throttling) and I routinely hit 30GB per month. 95% of that is Pandora, Twitch and YouTube streaming. I can't use WiFi at work (policies) and sadly, my WiFi at home doesn't reach my bedroom but I don't care - unlimited!

That was literally my second thought after hearing the new name. Right after "What happened to naming them after treats? Marshmallow is gross!"...

Do you honestly think I'd ride or fly in anything *I'd* coded for?! What's the opposite of hubris?
*urk* I must have my Eclipse warnings disabled...

"Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing mod points..."
I really really wish I had points today. Bravo!

*Somebody* needs to live in fantasy - where do you think dreams come from?
Faster than *THE* FLash? Doubtful. Or did you mean Adobe Flash? That's not much of an achievement.
Do you mean defined on the spot, or can the challenged player access any dictionary resources?
And just how do you plan to move that much money? At some point, I expect a large deposit landing in the account of a state lottery employee (or worse, a recently-quit one) would raise some eyebrows.
This, again?

Why is this such a hard rationale to accept?
