My favorite feature in AOHell was the chatroom text spoofing .where you could make it appear as if someone else had typed something. Later when I got access to the VB source for AOhell , I found out how it was done. The dev had figured out

Been playing BAR for a few months now. So far I think its one of the best TA inspired games Ive come across. Great work! Any plans to allow third party unit mods or AI mods similar to TA?

Most aircrafts traveling west from Asia or Eurasia on a direct flight take a polar route to get to North America. If not over the north pole, at least as close to artic circle as possible.

Another theory being thrown around is that Putin also wants to reduce Russia's western defensive line by reducing it down to 600 km versus the 2000+ km it currently has after the break up of the Soviet Union. By taking non-nato nations

If simply bleaching one's skin or straightening hair allowed one to hide their racial phenotype ,then millions would be doing it and we wouldn't have all these problems. Race is immutable in most parts of the world.

People that can pass of as white are more often of mixed heritage. Even then its really rare for them to be passable into the majority racial population. It all depends on their racial/ethnic composition. If one is half-latino/ha

I know I might be oversimplifying this. But you can legally change your last name. But you cannot change your race. Unless, your phenotype is somewhat ambiguous and can pass as a person of the majority racial group. But that is rare. By con

Can we please stop conflating casteism as racism? While both equally horrible, one is not same as the other. One can possibly hide their caste. But a person cant change their racial phenotypes.

This is definately going to back fire on him and his administration. There weren't any major incidence of violence or rioting. They got the bridge cleared. He should've left it at that and let it fizzle out.
