Neesh is actually the much newer pronunciation apparently, TIL.

The way read it they were using it as an example where absurdity makes sense to poke a hole in the logic that infinity can be used as a number.

Nah, Diablo 2 style. Yes, it restores both at a lower rate than one of each, but it is also instantaneous instead of retoring 8t over time, making it way more valuable.

*Antidote, clearly. Orange Soda is thawing.

While it is true that will always result in a winning line, it's not true that it is the only way to force a win. Half of their moves will allow you to play adjacent to you starting corner towards an open corner and still force a win, as long as their first play isn't the opposite corner or any of its 3 adjacent spaces. In fact, if they start in one of the adjacent sides or non-opposite corners, you have 3 winning moves. If they start on a side, you can take either the open, non-opposite corner, the side leading to that corner, or the middle. If they start in a non-opposite corner, you can take the first two moves above, or the opposite corner.

That's not true, you can force a tie at worst from a middle start. The issue is, if you start middle, you can only force a win if they take a side, not a corner. If you start corner you can force a win as long as they don't take the middle.

Yeah, I think all of New England is down for this. Please.

Even more specifically, if we are talking a temporal teleport, then this shouldn't be a surprise. Most mainstream fiction uses teleports for time travel, pop out of one time and into another without experiencing the time between. As opposed to the device Farnsworth made in The Late Philip J. Fry, where they actually just change speed through time instead of skipping through it. In the latter case, you shouldn't have to worry about this issue at all. But with a teleport, any teleportation device is simultaneously a temporal and spatial teleport, due to causality and the nature of spacetime. So any teleport would need spacetime coordinates, not just spatial or temporal coordinates.

It has very begrudgingly forced me to kind of sort of enjoy it maybe just a little. But at the moment, trying to recall it is only giving me the Firefly theme, and that is nice, I'll just enjoy this for a bit.

Yeah, what the fuck? Take us with you.

It's been a long time, but I very much remember it being played as the powers that be are simply afraid to acknowledge that V is back. They do attack Harry's story some to help justify keeping their heads in the sand, but that didn't seem like the point to me.

It wasn't as unrelated as it might appear. Firstly, they used their D+ account to make their Disney account. Secondly, the whole point of that argument was that in the Disney account EULA, the relevant one, there is an arbitration clause. They only brought up the D+ account in passing because it has the same clause, emphasizing that they had to read and agree to the clause twice, and if they didn't catch it it's not Disney's fault they lied about reading it. They basically said "look, this is an issue regarding the Disney account, and they said right here they read and understood the terms that include arbitration. And here, they read and agreed to the exact same terms a few months earlier on D+. This shouldn't be any surprise if they were truthful when they claimed to have read it."

Disclaimer, arbitration clauses are bullshit and need to be reworked/eliminated as they are generally very anticonsumer and I don't think it's good that they have that clause. But accepting that this exists, Disney didn't really do anything particularly scummy.

I can't speak to the rest, but the wobbly vertex morphing is a classic hallmark of ps1 graphics.

To be a bit more precise, people did sometimes carry swords on their back, but generally not into battle. It was more comfortable for travel, but impossible to draw, so when they were expecting trouble they would move it to the hip.

I mean the graph starts in 09, and Chrome launched in 08. I assume that did more to them, but both were probably notable.

Theu saw the writing on the walls. They knew the big dogs would want a slice of the streaming game and they needed to pivot before the rug got pulled out from ubder them. Hulu was already being constructed when they were recalling shifting into making their own products IIRC. It wasn't just VC that got them to their golden era, they also relied on the industry bot taking streaming seriously enough and giving them deals that they never would today.

Never mention it. They will often ask questions about how you think a juror should or can act. If you answer them in a way that shows you might know about nullification, you are out. If you then later admit you know about it, they will point to those questions and know you lied about them. Safest answer is to just never, ever use the term, ideally you should go through the motions in deliberation of putting the the rules together, like you are just realizing it's a possibility then and there.

The most prevalent theory is that Earth is constantly accelerating upwards.

To play the ultimate Devil's Advocate, the Romans did leave a lasting cultural impact on Brittain. So in a way we have a cultural bloodline that is distantly connected to Rome.

He was Istari, not Maia, technically. The distinction is subtle, but important. Istari were to Maiar kind of like an avatar is to a Hindu deity. They were not merely a pseudonym of a Maia with reduced power, because the method used to reduce their power was basically just blanking out large portions of their memory, to the point there were differences in demeanor and personality.
