He's also said he doesn't care how other people pronounce it, so thankfully you're safe.

Is that actually true? Were the zines critical evidence in a homicide?

Cold war? Probably. Nuclear winter? No.

The "and outcome" is my point. It has to actually be something that could be a problem. Similar to how it's not attempted murder to cast a magic spell intending to kill someone with it, no matter how sincerely you believe in

Officially it’s S-Q-L-ite, as if it were a mineral.

Intent is important but it’s not sufficient. Intent to obstruct isn’t enough. You have to actually intend to do something that would count as obstruction. It’s not illegal for me to make a sandwich even if I sincerely believe that making th

My point is that even those favored groups ultimately suffered terribly in the longer term, as a result of their government starting a war with half the world and refusing to seek peace before being utterly destroyed.

I don't understand the relevance of the normal background level. The natural background level of mercury is many orders of magnitude below the level that causes acute mercury poisoning. That tells me absolutely nothing about the risks

That doesn't even make any sense. How can you compare the harm of completely different things with completely different mechanisms and exposures? And why would nuclear winter have anything to do with it?

Briefly. It’s important to remember that nearly all of those people ended up significantly worse off in the longer term.

Why only the naturalized ones?

Won’t somebody please think of the poor oppressed billionaires!

A mistake suggests that it's accidental and they didn't mean it. To the extent a corporation can know things, they knew exactly how this was set up. This is fraud .

What's the can of worms? Either actually sell a copy, or if you're merely selling a license then say so explicitly.

I’d take first in anything, even crappy fake “first,” over coach in anything. Additional personal room trumps everything else for me. I don’t really care how big the fuselage is, I care how hard my knees are crammed into the seat in front o

I’ve flown on a wide variety of planes, and never found any difference in comfort from the plane itself. It’s all about the seats.

I don’t get the impression that the current system is really getting in the way of that.

We should switch to a national ID system and be done with it. The patchwork we have is getting more ridiculous by the day.

You’re describing a spilled soda as a safety issue. The other person isn’t the one with a broken frame of reference.

Money is power. Power corrupts.

If you see someone speeding and you don’t report it to the police, does that mean you are ACTIVELY thwarting the law?

Why should it enforce a law from a separate sovereign entity, is the question. And the answer is, it shouldn’t. I don’t think states do, or should, enforce federal anti-discrimination laws. The feds do that. The states pass their own anti-d

Lawsuits are part of the law, not thwarting the law. Refusing notifications and holds is inaction, the opposite of “actively.”

Why would a state enforce federal law?

There's no law of conservation of money. It can be pretty trivially created and destroyed. It may not be a good idea, but it's entirely doable.

The oceans exist for free.

What are those conservation laws?

All 32-bit support got dropped, so you're totally right. It might appear to target games because games are disproportionately likely to not get updated to new archs and to be run long after they were introduced. Nobody is going back to

Why would they set prices at anything other than the level which maximizes profit? I'm sure they're doing everything they can to cut their costs as well. That means even more profit. Lower costs only translates into lower prices i
