'Shut the fuck up!'

Could have just traded in the non-working Nubian ship and bought a junker. It'll get you to Coruscant just fine.

So if he was already so popular he was outshining Clinton and Trump, why didn't people vote for him? Could it maybe be because he's only popular in highly populous cities that have relatively few electoral votes when compared to the rural areas where he's not as popular, and so nationwide polling isn't indicative of actual electoral success?

Also, as we all know now, presence on major TV news networks doesn't align with electoral success either. Trump basically cornered the podcast market and he won the election. People don't watch TV news anymore.

Did Bernie get more or fewer votes than Clinton?

Rigged how, exactly? Were all the voters that didn't vote for Bernie in on the conspiracy?

Bernie lost, he wasn't popular enough. Get over it.

You've got some weird teachers. My teachers were all pretty keen to nurture curiosity. When we'd just learned about combustion and how fire needs oxygen, I asked my teacher after the lesson about the sun and how it could be burning without oxygen, and she just explained nuclear fusion and what the sun actually was, and that the words "burning ball of gas" is a bit of a misnomer because that's not what's happening.

If you can reliably predict what's going to be in your field, it's only a matter of time before you work out a machine for harvesting it.

I wonder how much of it is mismanagement on behalf of Microsoft itself, and how much of it is small-time devs suddenly getting more budget than they've ever seen before and deciding to get super ambitious with their next project and then having to scale it back when they can't actually handle the project?

It's what happened with EA and Anthem. Bioware suddenly got a shitload of money, couldn't hack it, had to scale back the project, and it all fell apart.

I 100% guarantee the people who wrote that statement don't know or care how much effort it would take to build the infrastructure to run their server-side components.

I'm fairly confident that any AAA production uses Infrastructure As Code to spin up infrastructure in their dev and qa environments, so it's literally just a matter of handing over the Terraform or BICEP and some binaries for any custom code they need to use. I also highly, HIGHLY doubt that the vast majority of game servers are hosted on-prem. They're most likely either using Azure or AWS.

Unless it's Ancient Greece! There, if you had a massive dong they'd call you a stupid barbarian.

When I was growing up I knew exactly one goth, and he stank because he never showered. There were no goth girls, there were only grebs.

 

I was under the impression that the Numenoreans were very much imperialists towards the end, as in they'd raid Middle Earth for all its riches and there was nothing they could do about it.

When Numenor sank beneath the waves and the Faithful came to Middle Earth, how did they reconcile with the existing inhabitants? "Oh yeah we're Numenorean but we're totally not like those bad ones. Btw we're setting up a kingdom here and here and there's nothing you can do about it".

There couldn't have been that many Faithful on those ships. How did they manage to acquire so much land with so little opposition?
