I really hate that White Walker dragon. Dragons are somewhat magical, but they are real physical animals. To breathe fire they must have some organ that produces flammable liquid/gas. Does the White Walker dragon eat in order to make this substance? It doesn't just appear out of nowhere. And why is it blue instead of red? Blue is a hotter flame than red. Nuclear explosions don't change colors just because the bad guy gets them.
And the dragon doesn't need to breathe fire in order to be the most devastating weapon the Night King could ever have. Instead of moving at the shambling pace of his undead army, he can fly right around the armies of Westeros coming to fight him and make a new army wherever he goes. There's been a raging war all over the country so there's corpses everywhere, but any graveyard will do (including the one inside Winterfell). He can fly anywhere, drop off a White Walker and seed a new army that will grow larger than any force available to fight it before they can find out where it is and march there to fight. And he'll be off somewhere else doing the same thing again long before you find out where he was. Only another dragon can catch him, but the White Walkers are seemingly immune to fire (unlike the wights) so the living dragons can't hurt him but he can hurt them. Even if the living dragons can hurt him and his dragon, very risky going after him since you can't bring reinforcements with you but he can raise support wherever he goes.
Delaying the need for going to nursing home and taking some of the strain off from the caregivers would certainly help. But we aren't that far in with the disease with my mom and at this point getting her to cooperate with that for an hour a day every day would not be remotely possible.
You would think so, but if there's some asshat singing over the top of that music somewhere they claim that your use of the song infringes on their use and unless you are willing to sue them they win, even though it's their use of the music that is against the terms. And it's dealing with that crap that has caused some people who used to allow royalty free use of their music to stop doing so because it became too much of a hassle. The only safe bet is to use music straight from the YouTube music library which is very limited.
Funnily enough one of the Lego Technic designers is named Markus Kossmann and he always works his initials into his models, including the bucket wheel excavator that this guy used to build one of his arms.
As far as video editing, DaVinci Resolve is a full featured competitor to Premiere and it has a Linux version. Also has a free version that will be good enough for most people.
Most people complaining about this season say it's bad because of the SJW themes. That's not why it's bad. It's bad because the writing, directing, and acting are terrible. The writers have no imagination. The Doctor has no edge. When she has an important bit of dialog the camera is probably going to be at some weird angle so the focus isn't even on her. Two out of three of the companions are just there. Graham could be a good counterpoint if there was ever a point to counter.
There's been plenty of "meh" Doctor Who episodes over the years. I watch because you never know when they are going to pull a "The Girl in the Fireplace" or "Blink" or "Heaven Sent" out of their hats. But even when it's been "meh" it's at least had personality.
What you do not smell is called Iocaine powder. It is odorless, tasteless, dissolves instantly in liquid, and is among the more deadly poisons known to man.
Typically the camera is always recording to its buffer. When it starts recording to file it includes what was in the buffer. So you get some time from before you actually start the recording. There have been cases where cops were caught planting evidence because they didn't know that and recorded themselves doing it even though they had turned off the recording.
I agree with you on preferring The Last Jedi over The Force Awakens. As far as light speed through the shields thing goes, it can be fanwanked into making some kind of sense. It only works if [technobabble]. If you can fanwank a measure of distance into a measure of time you can do that. I don't watch a Star Wars movie to worry about its adherence to the laws of physics or consistency in weaponry.
Kamikaze attacks are the weapon of a group that has already lost but refuses to surrender. Rose stops Finn from doing another one because attacks that weaken your own side as much as it weakens the other side only at best prolong the inevitable defeat. It's as useful as Poe's attack earlier. The real resistance was Luke and Rey and passing the knowledge of the Force onto another generation, and their postponing the defeat only served to cost them Luke. Kamikaze attacks don't particularly make sense in a world with droids and auto pilot, but I can set that aside. I'd rather be thinking about things like that than obsessing over physics, and the movie did manage to get me thinking about that.
The guy who administered my driving test took points off for shoulder checking. "You won't be able to do that when you're old." And yes I used my mirrors first.
The NES has a cartridge system that is fiddly to get working as it ages and its graphics output is limited to coax or composite, both of which look terrible on a modern flatscreen tv. If you still have your NES, it's kind of useless. The Playstation has discs that still work and s-video output which is good enough for the level of graphics that it has. This is to say nothing of the fact that the only reason the discs can't be played in the current generation console is because Sony decided not to do this. It's just a me too money grab.
This is a potential problem that directly affects congress critters and famous people and really nobody else, so clearly it has the potential to destroy civilization and we must prioritize dealing with it.
Your $10 figure is right for Walmart but it's closer to $100 for McDonalds. In any case, the tax reference is bizarre. CEO pay is not a tax on employees. Yet considering that the average McDonalds employee makes $7000 a year, they don't pay any federal income tax. They probably receive money through the EIC along with any other programs they are enrolled in.
What exactly is someone going to do with a scan of your face? Is someone going to hack in and 3d print a facial mask of your face and then try to get through airport security with a plastic face? I just don't see what value this data has to anyone. I guess if you had data on a large enough group of people you could find people who are close enough matches to fool the system to yourself or other members of your group.
Not only was he not insulting, he was right. The player's choices usually can't affect the outcome but they can certainly allow the game to develop an understanding of how the player wants to play and respond to them accordingly.
I would also completely disagree with the "she didn't ask for his input" defense. Putting something on twitter is asking for a response. He didn't break into her house and read her diary and then leave her a note disagreeing with her.
But I wouldn't fire either of them over just that nonsense.
We'll use an algorithm to only pick artists that sound exactly like other artists that have already been successful! And, oh great, we can also use the same algorithm to find artists that have been copying our artists and sue them into oblivion!
If the service and games combine together to make it easy for the player to get something useful for playing the game then you are going to have the service flooded with poor quality streams from people who don't really want to be streaming but do so for the reward, thus making it harder for the people who are actually trying to make and find good content. If all you want are warm bodies then all you are going to get is warm bodies.
There is no way that the umpire can determine with any real accuracy whether the ball is above or below a reference point that has moved by the time the ball gets there. Player uniforms could be designed with a mark on them for the top and bottom of the strike zone, similar to the way motion capture is done. The automatic system would know exactly where the strike zone was when the ball was released. Whatever quirks the system might have they would be the same quirks for everyone, which is all anybody wants from an umpire in the first place.
72% think it is essential that the US be at the forefront of space EXPLORATION, but 18% think we should do any exploring. People as a whole are completely, utterly useless at directing policy. If you ever want to do anything important or interesting ignore what people think about it.

You understand this is directly from a quote from the author of the books that Game of Thrones is based on, right?

You should try South Main Auto instead of Kilmer.

Approx. Elevation: 13 feet (4 meters)
Seal level rise predicted by 2100: 1 to 10 feet.
So within the lifetime of everyone buying property, only a small part of that area is predicted to be flooded in even the worst case scenario.

Did you just make an argument centered around The Phantom Menace having a coherent story line?
Because anyone that would pay $200 for a small magnet in a piece of plastic is too stupid to be trusted to drive themselves.

There are signs all over my local ER telling you to turn off your phone so good luck with that.
