Or just patch the game to fool it into thinking it's connected, and allowing offline play.

I'm sure my off-the-cuff suggestion is in no way difficult to implement! It's probably just a switch somewhere. Check under the stack of papers over there...

Honestly if MILITARY applications are what kicks renewable energy and mass storage into high gear, I won't be surprised, but I will be disappointed.

But hey, improvement is still improvement and if a military organization sees renewable as the future, they're gonna try to make sure they get there first. As long as whoever gets there shares the progress with the rest of the world, I'm okay with it.

But who am I kidding, it's gonna be China or the US and the rest of the world won't see shit for decades due to suppression of research and technology that would allow for similar specs to be achieved privately...

... How credible is my aluminum foil hat guy?

I must admit though, it'd be cool to see an armored combat battery sliding across a field to quick charge a tank that died mid-battle. 10 seconds of charging to get it up and running, and the battery moves to the next low power thing. I'm imagining a semi-autonomous hot-swap of a battery compartment and eventually recharging like modern airplane mid-air refueling. Insert Rod A into Slot A and wait a little bit. The faster they want it to charge, the more they'll dump into R&D.

Given just how long it was before trees came about, are we sure early fungi didn't bioengineer these tress specifically for this purpose?

Has anyone bothered asking the humongous fungus?

In fairness, that's the same thing I've heard since the mid 2000s. So if it's bullshit, it's long-running bullshit. Like the eating spiders in your sleep thing

There is a level of professionalism you should have when you work at some places, but personally I think a little crass celebration should definitely be allowed.

That said, whether she knew who he was or not, her actual response wasn't necessary.

Neither the question nor the answer should ever be a surprise.

The time, and location of proposal are the surprise.

When I asked my now wife, I knew for sure she was going to say yes, and I knew she would want a simple ring with her birth stone instead of a diamond.

She had no idea I was going to ask her in the manner I did while we were out camping. that was the surprise for her. Not the question itself.

"Mister Doctor"?

Strange...

Legitimately, if they're American, the people in HR probably wouldn't even believe you if you told them about what actually happened during the Irish famine, or how England treated them for decades directly leading to "the troubles"

They would assume you're making it up.

I'm not joking

I was more or less taught in school "oh well it was an oopsie-woopsie, all the crops died but England tried to help them! Oh well, such a terrible natural disaster."

I didn't learn about the darker side of things until I read into it outside school.

The US education system is a joke.

THANK YOU!

I always say a fun "bad" movie is often better than a high production value meh movie.

Give me comic book ridiculous Hellboy, not some serious brooding slop.

I want the movie to understand exactly what it is, and lean into it.

Give me Spaceballs. Give me Godzilla. I have seen so many "artsy" films. sometimes I just want to watch a guy punch another guy with a teacup so hard he dies, and scare three other dudes with a can opener.

Sometimes I just want to see a couple normal looking people absolutely wreck a gang of thugs who underestimated their opponent.

And hope if they make sequels, the sequels don't get too full of themselves.

Honestly I don't even think more than 50% of the US realizes there's still an embargo.

That shit should have died with the cold war.
