  • Sir Sean Connery was a selective actor

  • Honestly though, I agree with him. WWW definitely is the safer bet on paper. But safer doesn't mean foolproof, and the risky ventures sometimes are the most profitable. Making the worse move doesn't necessarily mean you made the incorrect one.

  • what... what is threshold day?

    Jump

  • Voyager started before DS9, I'm pretty sure. But I think most of both runs were congruent. When they do finally get in contact with Starfleet, they learn about the whole Gamma-kerfuffle.

  • There is a common myth that they were in dire straights and named it such because if It failed it would end the company. The truth is, they wanted to name it Fighting Fantasy, but that was already taken. Wanting to keep the alliteration, they changed to Final Fantasy, without a significant meaning attached to the title.

  • They're in every multiplayer game

    Jump

  • Many games still use SBMM in casual modes, they just don'tshow you what your elo equivalent is. As long as they generally all play together, the average skill of the group will hit equilibrium far faster with the smurf account than with the original one. There's really no good answer here, but in this case at least the friends get a play session where they can participate meaningfully, even if they get a lot of wins they don't deserve, and the opponents get one bad game. The alternative is the friends are crushed almost every game they play together, and the opponents get one easy game.

  • Insert the Gandalf is a Fighter text dump here.

    "What's the biggest problem Fighters face? They are the big and scary guys who the enemy avoids while trying to pop the simultaneously highly dangerous, but easier to kill, casters. How do we fix this? Take a bunch of poimts in Use Magic Device, amass some magic items that let you cast a few spells, and let them all run right into your blender."

    Jump

  • My first thought was Egypt was old enough that there were ancient Egyptian scholars studying ancient-er Egypt. I could see it as a particular form of gov generally lasted that long and new dynasties etc would reset the counter. Your explaination makes much more sense.

  • You goddamn liars

    Jump

  • Those rope is unlikely to be able to support a fully kitted adventurer though. Ropes rated for the kinds of weights adventurers often deal with will be at least in the neighborhood of the listed weight, accordang to a similar thread a while back. IIRC one comparable rope weighed something like 4.4 pounds at 50 feet.

  • It's totally safe. What are you afraid of?

    Jump

  • That opens up all kinds of cans of worms. Let's say you are put into a medical coma, no thoughts, only eniugh activity to sustain life. You're scanned, and a perfect copy of you is made. You both wake up in another room, at exactly the same time. Are both versions of you equally "you?" You don't know which is which. Does the answer change if a 3rd party knows, or there is no knowledge of which is which? If all that matters is continuous stream of consciousness, then I suppose the answer would be you died in the coma, and two people with your memories were born, I suppose.

  • Most common theory is your brain just decides to dump the short term memory instead of storing it in long term. It decides nothing notable enough happened to keep it.

  • Isn't that where they were getting the instructions from?

  • Here we go again...

    Jump

  • First we need to excise the foreign influence from the Greens though, which is probably harder than just starting over again. Which doesn't fix the problem with first past the post voting systems which mathematically make it almost impossible for one ideology to win if they have more candidates that an opposing ideology. That's where the fight has to start, grass roots voting reform to more represational systems like STAR. Get it in locally, and then push it up from there. Then new parties will be allowed to flourish, instead of just torpedoing their platform by splitting the votes.

  • Japan eyes adding Japanese proficiency to permanent residency requirements

    Jump

  • While this is generally a pretty reasonable ask in most situations, it seems like now is the worst possible time for them to make immigration more difficult. The coming demographic collapse is not a question of "if," but "how bad," at this point. Even if their birth rate proportionally climbs to the highest in the world magically over night, they are still looking at severe issues, and now many of those new births will still be dependants when it happens. They should really be incentivising immigration as hard as they can to take the edge off of what is coming at this point.

  • Put it to the right next time, I dare you

    Jump

  • To be fair, they used that setup first. And PS originally copied it, but for some reason switched the functions of X and O in the West. In Japan, those symbols O often used for agree/correct/confirm and vice versa for X. It is weird that X became confirm here .

  • I wish they'd post them more than once a year these days....

  • "How do you pronounce Mary/merry/marry?"

    Jump

  • Yeah, I think it's part and parcel with the Mary merry marry merger. It's not just about those 3 words, but those 3 sounds.

  • Hey guys, did you know that in terms of male human and female Pokémon...

    Jump

  • I mean, Pomemon generally pass the Harkness test. They are certainly intelligent enough, and communication is a little tricky, but general jist is simple, and some people can get some pretty complex information from their partners with enough time spent together. That's before counting the fact that if they really want to, they can learn human language.

  • Why are people using the "þ" character?

    Jump

  • I do usually. 90% of the time, if it's AE, then it means it didn't allow Æ.

  • Đere's no escaping us, broðer.

    Once upon a time, English both used thorn, the character you are replacing, and eth, the one I just used here. One was used for words like that, this, there, and the other was used for thin, thank, and throw. That didn't last very long, linguistically speaking. They quickly became interchangeable, and thorn rapidly became the most popular one. But I think if people want to bring it back, we should bring them both back. And while we're at it, we should bringing back the "four form system." IE, we used to have two different ways to say yes or no, those two words were specifically used to answer a negative question. Current English leaves negative questions impossible to answer with a single word wothout ambiguity. "Will they not go?" cannot be answered with only yes or no in Modern English's 2 form system. But with a 4 form system, we had yea and nay for general usage. "Will they go?" Yea means they will, nay means they won't. But with the negative form of the question, "Will they not go?" Yes means they will, and no means they won't. Over time yea and nay were both dropped and yes and no became universal.

  • Why are people using the "þ" character?

    Jump

  • Was used all the way up to modern English. It was one of several characters that just got dropped because they wanted to use fewer when the printing press was adapted for English. Back then it was kind of the wild west for spelling, especially when printing words that used those characters. For example, sometimes they would just replace the character with a not often used one that was obviously a stand-in from context because it just didn't fit naturally, in this case before "th" became the standard replacement, "y" was often used. One of the most commonly used examples that most people don't realize is "ye," as in "ye olde pub," etc. While "ye," pronounced as it is spelled, was used as a less formal "you," "ye" in this context was understood to be pronounced as "the."
