  • Former BioWare lead writer reads the runes on EA-Saudi deal and speculates that 'guns and football' are in, 'gay stuff' is out, and the venerable RPG studio may be for the chop

  • You think? That generation will have kids who buy the same crap and won't listen to their parents, just like the kids now don't listen.

  • So on the next visit, arrest him for smuggling illegal contraband. And issue an international arrest warrant for good measure.

  • China is prosperous, don't let anybody fool you. But people are deeply, inherently selfish and love money more than everything (yay, communism!), so if they can save 30 cents by taking a roll of toilet paper home, they will.

  • How do Europeans use their digital ID cards if they are not using stock android or iOS?

    Jump

  • Ahhh I just looked it up, it's an app that allows you to use the physical ID card for online verification. I knew that one, thought we have a fully digital ID now. That'd be a real innovation.

  • German here: There's an ID app??? Seriously, I never heard of that.

  • Have you aged out of playing sports? How did you handle it?

    Jump

  • I switched from team sports to individual or 1 vs 1 where risk of injury is significantly lower.

    Badminton, Paddle ball, ultimate frisbee, yoga, cycling.

  • As someone who lived in China for 7 years, the alternative is that the next best person who enters the bathroom takes all available paper home.

    In my entire time there, I can count the number of times where paper was available on a single hand, with spare fingers.

    Naturally, everybody carries a box of tissues at all times.

  • A gram is not the base unit, it started with one meter (hence, metric).

    Kilo means thousand in Latin, so 1000 meters became one kilometer (aka, one thousand meters), and when they need smaller units, they took to Latin again, simply because the language was en vogue for science:

    Deca (ten): Decimeter (dm, nowadays hardly used, but it exists) = 0.1m

    Centum (hundred): Centimeter (cm) = 0.01m

    Mille (thousand): milimiter (mm) 0.001m

    Weights were then adopted from the dimensions based on practicality, i.e. one liter was a common enough volume that people could use it in a household, and it's defined by 1dm height x 1dm length x 1dm width. Or 10cm10cm10cm (same thing, but the base notation was units of one).

  • In the first place they must not be compromised with dead man switches from the US.

    do you use non violent communication at the workplace?

    Jump

  • It's a nice concept for interpersonal relationships regardless of the setting, but it's got limited applicability in a results driven setting.

  • They don't care about porn, it's a gateway to restrict vpn ownership countrywide and take anonymity away from users.

  • No need, it's good to have a mouthpiece to the orange overlord telling him how shit his petty attempts at stirring shit are holding up.

  • Why is the human body so incredibly bad at responding to colds?

    Jump

  • You're only seeing the colds that made it through the defenses, without having any means of measuring the ones your immune system successfully blocked or kicked out before they could take hold.

    So your statistics are flawed.

  • Do you ever go out, and while you're out, you think, ‘this is exactly why I don't go out’?

    Jump

  • Every time I'm in a mall or restaurant and see a flock of yelling and otherwise poorly behaved kids and their useless parents.
