Anyone who knows Nintendo’s history, knows that they go super hard on litigating. Don’t let the happy little mascots fool you, they’re as aggressive as Disney when they think they can get away with it.
Google, on the other hand, still has some software people in their management structure.
The main one would be, in 53 years of Trek before Discovery, Spock never mentioned a sister.
Which is mostly of explained at the end of Season 2 of Discovery.
If you just noped out in Season 1, which a lot of the more conservative sort of trekie did, then you’d miss that.
I do like that they sort of explained the Klingon Empire was getting really into genetic experimentation. It kind of ties in the DS9 tribbles episode as seen here.
The simple “We do not discuss it with outsiders” line is great. Which actually makes me want to watch more DS9…
Anyway… some of the continuity issues are explained away in the second season? Sort of?
It’s still my least watched trek. I’ve even watched more of the Animated Series than Discovery.
Reciting from memory is a bardic skill, but those “other people” were his dedicated assistants.
Well, possibly. We don’t know when Homer went blind, or if he was ever actually blind.
All we really know is that the two biographies written about him were written at least 400 years after his death. Both are highly questionable, but both still say that Homer was literate, or at least well educated, before losing his sight.
All we actually know is that Homer wrote the Iliad (or parts of it) and the Odyssey.
And we know the works of Homer because they were written down.
Bards aren’t just the run of the mill musicians. They are so much more than that.
And most of that “so much more” requires extensive training. Which requires some form of reading.
Bards are historians and have some magic of their own.
Well, as long as it’s not any smaller than the hummingbird, it’s still possible.
A hummingbird is pushing the limits of the wild shape ability, and would actually not be allowed under some versions of the game
A flea is too small for wild shape.
While replication of research is important, one must be sure to use a diverse selection of subjects to compensate for any discrepancies caused by subject idiosyncrasies.
One may argue that a follow-up study may be warranted for any specific individual subject, yet without that additional, supplementary testing on diverse subjects, the follow-up study might present the appearance of some sort of emotional attachment.
I do apologize for the tone of my rebuke.
Low level wizards are a drain on the party.
High level wizards… Don’t fuck with the high level wizards. Especially not ones who have some time to prep for the encounter.
I don’t know.
This one is maybe a better representation of his talent. Or any of his other original songs. He’s released a lot of them the last 7 or so years. He also has a bunch of tour dates in England, some of them are already sold out.
They wanted to explain why there were so many accidental alien-human hybrids. Because someone forgot that Spock was originally described as being a product of medical science.
Which should have been the answer to every hybrid, their parents made a deliberate choice to have a child, and then did some genetic engineering to get it done.
But the writers wanted to inject drama with accidental hybrids. Also they decided that genetic engineering was banned so that Khan could be an enemy. A good choice because that movie was great. But a bad choice as well because it led to this episode.
Thieves cant could be a dialect of undercommon. After all, not everyone would know that cant, even if they know undercommon.
The main problem with colonizing places is the displacement of the people already living there. You’ll notice that space is notorious for not having people. It’s one of the defining traits of space, really.
As to staying where we are, well. That comes with all sorts of issues. The first of which are big rocks. Then there’s gamma ray bursts, and coronal mass ejections, and a host of other potentially life ending things that could hit our planet at any time.
We have all of our eggs in one basket. This is the height of stupidity when we could do something about it.
As to fixing our own planet? Why the fuck do you think we can’t also work on that? There are billions of humans, we can surely multitask. Especially since actually living on the moon or Mars or whatnot will be a monumentally hard task in and of itself.
The first moon base will need to be 100% science to figure out some pretty important biology, like is it even possible to maintain a population at 1/6 Earth gravity.
That’s a huge question that we don’t actually have an answer for.
So you don’t care about children dying when they’re Palestinian?
Thank you for being honest about it, but maybe be more upfront about your hatred in the future. Then we can all dismiss you out of hand and not have to waste time on your bullshit.
So you don’t care about brown people dying to fuel Netanyahu’s love of ethnic cleansing?
Are you one of those jackasses who believe that the Jews have to control the holy land so that Jesus can come back and send them all to hell?
Those fucks seem to care about innocent deaths as much as you seem to…
Israel has killed over 15k Palestinians in Gaza in the last two months. Most of them children.
So by your metric that’s worse. Much worse.
Israel doesn’t bomb military relevant targets, unless you count every single building in Gaza as “Militarily relevant”.
The lie of “Israel defending themselves” has also worn thin after it was revealed that Netanyahu was both supporting Hamas, and had copies of their full plans over two years ago.
He even diverted troops from Gaza to aid in the ethnic cleansing over in the West Bank.
A rocket like that has almost zero pilot control.
In fact, for the longest time, astronauts were 100% payload. Now they’re 99% payload.
I combine UBO with No Script and Privacy Badger. I’ve not seen any slow downs or ads or anything else.
