Starcraft strategy has a lot more weird nuance to it. I noticed this building in this position at this time and I haven't been attacked by X unit yet, so he's probably doing strategy Y. I better skip some unrelated building I was

They should force the cable companies to automatically discount the monthly cost if, say, 30%+ of the actual use falls more than, say, 10% below the advertised speed. I mean it makes perfect sense. And oh, what fire it would light under the

Let's leave the current issue aside and speak to your general statement - that voting for an illegal action is typically considered immmoral. Do you mean to say this is basically universal? I'm American. I would not expect many pe

But it's a vote . Secession can be illegal in a democracy, but not voting. Google would be right to let Spain threaten to ban them from the country.

I'm sure there would be a gradual dropoff in suspicion from about 40 to about 60 - depending on how affluent you look, and on the personal opinions of the border agent.

It's very easy to extra-judicially deny entry at the border, without much in the way of recourse. I imagine there would be backlash against it, but it's very likely that for some period of time, travel to, from, and between specif

Something to realize here: If you're between 10 and 60 years old, "I don't use social media" will likely not really be an answer at the border. Even a barely-used account will not really be an answer. They're going

Supposedly it has something to do with typewriters malfunctioning when placing the period or comma outside. Which makes it even more annoying that it is an adopted standard.

Call me illiterate but that would be seen as either a mistake or as intentional rudeness. We structure instructions as requests for the sake of politeness, and using a period here would come across as a very subtle mockery of this. In conte

Maybe the length of brain development evolved to be longer due to pressures selecting for /what/ the brain would be capable of doing, and then further evolutionary pressures compressed the time frame?

Nobody ever asks if they can open a lawsuit against someone. They ask if an opened suit can possibly succeed. That is what "can I sue" means colloquially, one hundred percent of the time.

It surely is. People actually have trouble framing anything as sexist against men. All the men in a hostage holdup can get shot, and someone will talk about how it's sexist against women. When no woman is involved at all, it's oft

Yeah but there's a big difference between 442k and 100k. The extra cost of living is additive, not multiplicative. I didn't even say 442k was unfair for the position- I don't know. But "tight" is basically objective
