The absolute worst case for open sourcing ("abandoning") a project is showing everyone else what you did and what results you reached or didn't, meaning everyone can avoid doing the same thing again, which is still a positive

The movie was always a favorite of mine, and I think Shanks did a servicable job after Spader (even though no one could replace Russell). I would love a reboot of SG1 that isn't shackled by the budget of a 1997 genre TV-show. The spin-

Everything in the Mueller report was true. No republican has denied that, or come to any other conclusion in their committee reports. Trump was cleared in the impeachment not because of the contents of the report, but whether what happened

This is really the answer. I don't know why every (singleplayer) game doesn't do this. I know some players like to complain that it ruins the game, but I can't see how. There will always be the default/designed way to pl

> I've seen a ton of videos on social media. This is your problem right here. 1) Was it real or not? Was it a video of someone getting a hernia in 2005? How did you verify it was real? 2) If it was real, what's the sample size?

I agree, and we've always had an anti-vax minority, in every country. The problem with covid wasn't primarily what you describe though, but that that anti-vax sentiment exploded enough that healthcare everywhere choked more than i

Is it comparing vaccinated vs vaccinated + infection or simply vaccinated vs infection (regardless of vaccination)? Do we have data on specifically unvaccinated infections? Otherwise we can only speculate on whether the long side effects of

Consider the billions of shots being taken. Consider the time frame of 2 months. Consider the fact that it was the second shot. Meaning it could have happened within 2 months of the first shot, and then there's a 4 month window of cons

Man I miss the old internet when things were more playful and that was the extent of harm being done. Not that I condone cheapskates stealing your bandwidth. Maybe it's just rosy nostalgia.

Ever eat at Subway? There's ~9% sugar in just the bread. It's generally safe to extrapolate this as being the case for most ready/packaged/fast food. In any case, it's very illuminating to look up nutritional info o

There's a lot of other stuff surrounding it, but Satisfactory does have trains much like Factorio, and is 3D like Minecraft. A caveat though is that it's still "less" of a game than Factorio, but fun in its own right, ha
