If that were the case, every other computer peripheral manufacturer would use a similar design or face similar warranty claim issues. Which they don’t. So nah, that ain’t it, chief.

2·1 year agoDepends. Do I need to win or is a draw an acceptable outcome? If it’s the latter, the blue whale. What’s it gonna do, beach itself?
it’s considered common knowledge that you can’t
I’ve never heard that before. What I have heard several times is that text is not static, so if you read something, look away, and then read it again, it’ll say something different. That I can corroborate, along with the idea that this is how you realize you’re in a dream and induce lucid dreaming.
As does Steam and Epic and every other digital store ever created.
10·1 year agoReplaying old games that I have fond memories of. We’re in an incredible renaissance of classic games getting source ports or updates that bring them up to modern standards, and I’m loving it. Daggerfall, Blade of Darkness, Jagged Alliance 2, Morrowind, Jedi Knight, Caesar 3… I’m sure I’m forgetting
somemany. They let me forget the present and pretend that I’m back in simpler, happier times, at least for a little while.
Explain how it was a convenient excuse?
Roosevelt wanted to get involved but had no way to get the public to go along with it. The Japanese helped him out.
if the US could have used nuclear weapons right after the attack to prevent entering the war, regardless of their transportation method, they would’ve
And how exactly do you imagine the US could’ve used such weapons against Japan without transporting them to Japan?
The entire reason why the US entered the war was because of the attack.
No, that was a convenient excuse. Roosevelt must’ve thought Christmas had come early when he got the news.
Do you think if they did, they would’ve used them immediately to force a quick surrender instead of dragging out the war for years causing millions of deaths?
No, because B-29s didn’t exist yet either, and they couldn’t take off from aircraft carriers in any case. The US would’ve had to conquer its way across the Pacific to get within bomber range either way.
Wow, that’s extremely generous! Can I have Vane, please? I love games where you play a bird.
That’s less of a peaceful reform and more of a war crime.
Worse, we’re throwing piles of money at them.
10·1 year agoThey did. This is only the oldest, innermost fortification in the city. AFAIK additional layers of walls were build around it later.
It’s _/‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾\_ shaped. It’s not freestanding walls, the whole thing is an earthen mound with a flat top and its sides lined with bricks.
In defensive terms, no, not really. They had to build it like this because these aren’t really walls per se, it’s just brick lining on the outside of an earthen mound, and mounds are, well, mound-shaped. https://gomadnomad.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Bukharas-Ark-Palace.jpg
27·1 year agoReddit would implode instantly with only 2K moderators. According to this Reddit post, six years ago there were almost 75K moderators working in subreddits with more than 500 subscribers (i.e. this number only includes moderators who actually have to do some work because their subs are decently active). That number is certain to have grown since then.
They don’t, though. I don’t think I’ve ever had a USB port wear out from use on any peripheral with a removable cable, so if Apple is facing those kinds of issues, it’s not because of stupid users, it’s because Apple cheaped out on the build quality of the USB port.
As for Bentley versus Honda reliability, Honda’s warranty claim rate is apparently about 2%. I can’t find actual warranty claim statistics for Bentley specifically, only for VW as a whole, but according to this, 93% of Bentley owners have to take their car in for unscheduled repairs every year. Which is pretty insane. So yeah. Luxury brands are expensive because their primary purpose is to show off wealth, not because they’re any better than mass-produced consumer stuff. Often quite the opposite. Who knew.
