Full disclosure: I haven't played the game, haven't even looked at screenshots.
My first gaming console was the original NES. I have played almost every Mario game released since the first one there up to the first Galaxy game. To me, Mario games aren't about running quickly from start to finish, it's about finding paths through the levels, secrets, warp pipes etc. It's as much exploration as it is jumping from platform to platform.
This seemed to be true for most of Nintendo's own games; Mario, Zelda, Metroid all have this sense of being rewarded for going off the beaten bath, looking around and stopping to think for a moment.
The premise of "always run really fast until you're done" is more Sonic than Mario.
In Denmark and Germany they have a foolproof system, the mailman or delivery guy doesn't actuallly have the package in his truck, all he has is a pad of notices all saying "You weren't at home, go get your package at the post office tomorrow!"
That gets REALLY awkward when you open the front door while the mailman is coming up towards it.

Guy B stopped paying attention to the chat because he was focusing on something else, but Guy C was taking a moment to collect his thoughts anyway. Far more efficient than Guy D (who didn't feature in this little story) being known as the go-to guy for ALL problems, tanking his productivity constantly.
The solution really is simple. Don't make the 'illegal speech' something to censor, but make it something to prosecute. That way Facebook will be subpoenaed (or however the proper spelling of that is) for the RL information of the people spreading hate speech, they will refuse to divulge the details of anyone that turns out not to be from Germany, and the German government gets the rest.
This is what we in my country call 'freedom under responsibility' - in short you're free to say whatever you want, but if what you are saying incites something illegal you face consequences.
I drive into the gas station. Same will be true for Tesla. I turn off the car, step out, go around to the gas tank. Same will be true for Tesla, just the battery compartment instead. I unlock the gas tank, grab the nozzle, put it in and start pouring. Won't be much different to plug in a cable on a Tesla, I'm assuming. I stand there for two, maybe three minutes. I PROMISE you it's no longer than that or I'd freeze my hands off in winter. Tesla will now be 20% done. I take the nozzle out, lock the gas tank, and go inside to pay. Total time to do that with cash, probably another two minutes. Tesla will now be 40% done on a good day. I go out to my car, get in, drive off. Tesla is at best half done.
I admit I have no idea what kind of huge ass gas tank your car has, but to think it takes 15 minutes to put gas on your car is ridiculous.
First of all, if Facebook refuses to follow directions by a given country's government that government is fully entitled to demand Facebook banned on all ISPs in the country.
Secondly, the US did EXACTLY THAT with Volkswagen and their emission tests, and everyone agreed Volkswagen were in the wrong.
In the past four years, NO ONE has 1) moved, 2) died, 3) reached an age allowing them to vote, 4) decided not to vote again, or 5) decided to vote this time when they didn't last time.
More likely the islanders have been paying overprice until now to get power generated on the mainland out to the island, but now that a wind farm is built close to the island they can get that power cheaper than what they're getting right now, and it's the people on the mainland that end up paying more because now THEY are doing the long import.
What I would honestly like to know is how much energy a windmill takes out of the air.
I mean, look at a storm that literally rips through an entire city without so much as slowing down. There is a LOT of energy in the atmosphere, and I'll be the first to admit I haven't the faintest clue how much is generated on a daily basis.

Hey man, about that cheap cocaine, can you hook me up? <.<

That is what a group chat window is for.

Ahh, so wait and see who does and who doesn't.
Somehow I don't like that plan for suicide bombers.
Can you please link us to this magical solution that detects 100% of the bad ones and has a 0% false positive rate?
Or as I saw someone put it once:
"Here is a bowl of M&Ms. I have poisoned two of them. Would you like one?"
Wait, Saudi Arabia took in one tenth of a refugee? How does that work?

In my case it goes like this:

With the rampant sexual harassment that was reported last New Year's Eve in Köln, I'm not sure if they're the Mexicans or pussy-grabbing Trump.
That said, does the US have problems with Mexicans that are religiously motivated to kill everyone that thinks differently from themselves?
Probably because people are afraid of Wikipedia going away and they don't check their accounting first.

I just checked my file structure.
Stuff installs to Program Files and Program Files (x86), not to App Files, Application Files, or any other variation thereof.
You are making a very dangerous assumption:
In the past four years, NO ONE has 1) moved, 2) died, 3) reached an age allowing them to vote, 4) decided not to vote again, or 5) decided to vote this time when they didn't last time.
So what exactly is Notepad? Microsoft Excel? That fancy little thingamajig I install to watch my bandwidth usage?
Are they not programs? If not, what are they? Are we calling everything apps now?
It'll probably be along the lines of "Speak now or forever hold your peace".
That is one of the greatest Bible quotes ever.
Ooh, a wrongful termination suit! Thank you!
And yes, if you say I'm fired that's acknowledgement that I WAS an employee, otherwise you couldn't fire me in the first place.
Uber: "But laws about computer security don't apply to us!"
I don't think that's quite how it works.

But that was charging AT windmills, not charging FOR windmills!
Hopefully not. They'll make a damned good profit with all the hot air that'll be blowing.
