Correct me if I'm wrong but this post reads like the answers are an easy 'no' but doesn't address GPs situation.

How'd you get there? >"Would you put your family on a Max simulator trained aircraft? I wouldn't," says one employee to another, who responds, "No."

I think you reinforced their point.

Neither did I, just pointing out that someone's POV might colour what they perceive as justified vs not.

'Quasi-programmer'? I don't think elitism helps your point.

In Australia you do your taxes and then a few weeks later you either get a refund or a bill. If there's anything that doesn't add up in your filing they may ask you about it. Nothing to regret unless you knowingly filed incorrect

I should know better but I got into an Internet debate about when the millenium changed (1999 -> 2000 vs 2000 -> 2001 (obviously)). It all started when I made a joke about the decade not ending yet.

In what direction do you think she needs to budge? Does she need to admit that women do, in fact, prefer assholes? Or that the domestic violence she suffered was her fault?

I understood that not to be the case, for the article author, at least.

The world being as you say it is would make the story even more inspiring for me.

Were they any good? Before I came to Oz I'd only tasted the SE-Asian ones. They're okay but I much prefer the locally-made variety.

They're related, but not exactly the same. Individuals or organisations may charge fees for services with or without the expectation of profit.

You're conflating profit motive and working for money.

That's discussed in the game comments.

“Guy buys insurance company and invests its float in his other business ideas” can describe a scam, but it can also describe Warren Buffett.

The 'Author of this page' phrase might be confusing.

I don't get the 'all' part. If they're brothers then one being related means they'd all be related.

How can grounding not be made public?

>When I wrote my previous article, class-D audio was fairly new Not sure what this means. I had a group undergrad project in 2002 to build and characterise a class-D audio amp. The idea was well-established at the time.

The burden of proof that problems are being solved is on you. Police assertions that most violent crime in the Philippines is drug-induced/related wasn't even supported by their own data in 2016! Where's the data that shows i

I think the 'safest' part is due to regulation, not market forces.

Anyone who thinks the extra-judicial killings are actually solving any problems in the Philippines is naive.

Are you asking if mmo beats pen-and-paper? IMO, no. There are no programming limits to how 'alive' a pen-and-paper game world can be. MMOs have no persistence and NPCs are little more than cardboard cutouts.

by jpmoral 8y ago
This is why IMO a well-run pen-and-paper RPG will offer a far superior experience to any computer game for the foreseeable future.

I'm from the Philippines. I can't say 'Mr. First Name' is common but I totally agree that 'Sir' is overused.

No, I didn't. I just didn't want anyone to get the wrong impression that everyone with enough points gets in.
