To be fair, Star Control was a strategy/action game, and Star Control II only used the combat aspect from its predecessor. Unfortunately for SC3, the one common feature of all three games (the melee) was broken beyond belief in SC3, so much that they had to add a key (F11, F12?) to force the enemy to stop running away all the time.
If you want to light up anything at night, light pollution must occur because things reflect light. That's how we see. If you light up your yard, even if there isn't a light pointed at your neighbor's window, there will be plenty of indirect light. Your only option is to bathe your yard in infrared and wear goggles at night.
That works for a while, but geese get used to almost anything (even the umbrella trick). A green laser at dusk aimed at the ground near them will drive them bonkers, but unfortunately doesn't do anything during daylight.
And if you bend over, they will go for your eyes. Best to carry an umbrella into goose territory. Since they have poor 3d vision, they see the rapidly expanding umbrella as charging them.
Dark blue actually works better than black at night. Black looks like a deep shadow in the darkness of night because there's almost always a little light somewhere. Just visible enough to make movement visible.
One time I was in a shop in Nogales and there were 2 Utah police officers in the store as well. They had been referred to the guy by one of their uncles, also an officer. They were buying horse steroids.
Should we allow cops to abuse horse steroids? I say thee neigh!
Now I am sorry, any tactical computer game requires more preparation than that. If you did that in X-COM then you would have a lot of dead people at your hand and you will get shut down.
Now I am sorry, but you do everything perfect in X-Com, blaster bombs take out 4/5 of your squad, and the rest of the squad panics. Sometimes the correct action is to land the skyranger, take some pot shots with heavy rockets, and lift off again.
But real life isn't a computer game, and cops shouldn't treat it like one.
But they don't need to use them as the first resort. Knock on the door first. Let them know the house is surrounded and that they should give up. Almost all of them will without firing a shot.
Dogs sniff each other's butts because that's where the most powerful scent glands are (scent that gets left with excrement), and they can tell who has been pooping where. It's the canine version of license plate scanners.
anyone in that type of a job should want to do a good job in order to keep the job itself--either because of the paycheck or access to other tips
The tips are what they care about, but that doesn't motivate them to be safe; quite the opposite. They drive as fast as they can, turning corners with a rear-axel (if they can) to maximize the number of tips they get. If someone comes back a month later with complaints about their tires or a door ding, "sorry, wasn't there when I drove it" is the mantra. And who takes photos of their cars just before and after the valets park them? Never valet park.
At my place of work, we normally reserve emergency alerts for real emergencies like "Active shooter" or "Hurricane bearing on city, seek shelter". Then last year, someone decided that sending notifications about free flu vaccinations would be a good use of emergency alerts, so I got a text message, two phone calls, and two emails about availability of flu vaccine.

nazi Jews are higher still
They'd have to be higher than a kite to want to be nazis.
Sorry, I know I'm selectively editing and taking phrases out of context, but it really stood out.
Shoot down one drone and two more will take its place.

Some of the best movies I've seen have been 2-3 people sitting in a room and talking. Special effects should add to this, not replace it.

That depends on whether or not you're using LISP.

If this were war, that would be against the Geneva conventions...

Presumably the customs officials can set the search percentage.
When can they set the percentage?
*man speaking Arabic walks up to the device* *operator quickly sets percentage to 100%*

Sorry, I just thought the name was funny.
They clearly aren't using unsigned numbers since the huge number on the statement HAS A MINUS SIGN IN FRONT OF IT.
You can put a minus sign in front of anything. printf("-%u", X);

I'm guessing you weren't around for any cicada brood conjunctions.
So you're saying I can pay more to increase the chance of failure of my device that I'll likely only need in an emergency? Where do I sign up?

Verbally abusing someone indicates a lack of verbal skills
Well, English is his fourth or fifth language, so he's not very good with it.
