To be fair, the Microsoft guy just got there and this has been going on for months. It's more like it got fixed when he got there, but that's not nearly as entertaining.
I am curious, though, what the odds are that you'd be tutored by someone below 21 who got his license in another state.
Of course, to me it all seems completely crazy. In my country driving instructor is a job requiring state authorization and you only ever pass a driving test through one of them. Having one of your friends 'sign off' on saying you're good to sit behind the wheel of what is essentially a two ton ballistic projectile seems insane.
What does that have to do with anything? A mechanic using the cheapest possible materials hurts his users when his repairs fail. A house built by the cheapest contractor with the cheapest materials may develop severe faults - to the point of essentially being condemned. How does this not hurt the customers/users?
To be honest I have never heard the word hoggett before, and just hearing the word knowing it refers to 'some kind of meat' I would think it was from a pig (specifically a hog) rather than a sheep.
When you watch the movie for the first time, you'll be given a stamp book. Each time you pay to watch the movie you get a stamp. For stamps 1-7, you only get to watch the first 15 minutes of the movie. Stamps 8-14 allow the next 15 minutes, but you have to watch the first 15 minutes each time as well. Stamp 15 allows you to sit through the ad break. 16-22 gives you the 20 minutes after the ad break, and you're told to enjoy the extra free content. 23-29 has only ten minutes, though, but that's okay because this is WARCRAFT we're talking about. The 30th stamp will allow you to watch the underwhelming finale and the To Be Continued screen.
At random points you will be set upon by an angry mob as you come out from the movie. You will be mugged and beaten up with baseball bats for the true World PVP experience.
You only get what, half a minute to a couple of minutes of zero G at a time on those. I'll admit to not knowing much about 3D printers, but I'm sure NASA is interested in how it fares when running continuously for a couple of hours in zero G.
I beg of you, try going through science fiction dating all the way back to Jules Verne. Space rockets? Submarines? He 'invented' those in his books. More recently, Star Trek's communicators? You've got those in the shape of cell phones.
Science isn't clueless when it imitates Hollywood or any other kind of fiction. It is inspired by it.
The 'funny' comes in when you remember that this is only half the joke. The original sketches then told of how things worked in America, where it was the other way around.
For instance: In America, you can always find a party. In Soviet Russia, the Party can always find you.
So, to completely ruin the joke by over-explaining it, if the government controls the corporations in Soviet Russia, it must be the other way around in America. Ergo, that the corporations control the government.
Do you see what's funny now? Other than, yeah, it's true.
It's a matter of lock-in. By giving you this package the way they did they insure themselves against the situation where you personally aren't interested in TV, but maybe next month you meet the girl of your dreams, a single mother with a three year old kid. NOW you suddenly want TV, and Cablevision's competitor has this really neat bundled offer...
It is also common knowledge that computers run on magic smoke and that witches float on water. A 'long standing rule' is hardly citation. Please show examples of OS releases from the high-profile release groups have been found to contain a rootkit.
How so? Does GoodYear suddenly say, "Those tires you bought some years ago that still have lots of pattern left will now no longer have traction on the road. Buy new ones from us!"?
So if someone pumps your house full of gas while you're sleeping and you die, it's not murder - it's just that you failed to adapt to breathing something other than air?
You can't just accelerate evolution all of a sudden, reality doesn't work that way.

Your pizza guy is also a drug runner.
To be fair, the Microsoft guy just got there and this has been going on for months. It's more like it got fixed when he got there, but that's not nearly as entertaining.
Maybe by actively demonstrating that there is nothing to be shy about, and that needing help does not get you ridiculed and/or ignored?

And I assume the observer went through the same process when HE was 17.
for six months AND be at least 17 before you can even take the test.
have to be 21 (age discrimination) and have been a licensed driver for at least three years (understandable).
I'm sorry, what's 17.5+3? Sounds like 21 is that result rounded up.

When even Dr. Sheldon Cooper gets the joke there is no excuse for not getting it yourself.

That depends a lot on the MUSH.
With a camera mounted on each shoulder they'll look like they're doing the macarena dance while trying to turn the cameras off.
I approve of this.

Really?

It's just a pre-rendered cutscene.

Citation needed.
Force field. *nod* We are the same experiment to the outer universe as the one described in the summary, caught in the equivalent of a magnetic trap.
Then let me rephrase, does GoodYear say that in ten years, tires you buy today will magically stop working regardless of how worn they are?
How so? Does GoodYear suddenly say, "Those tires you bought some years ago that still have lots of pattern left will now no longer have traction on the road. Buy new ones from us!"?
If everybody knows that, why do we have so many religious people in the world?

No, the point of the FDA is to stop them from dying in the first place.
