How gracious of them.

I think explaining a system like PPA would be a difficult task.

IMO that just means they barely understand it themselves. Anyone that understands something with an amount of proficiency can explain it to a ~~child~~ layman and it'll make sense, given they don't use technical nomenclature.

*Layman is a better term. Children are... complicated.

What an excellent way to make straight males question their sexuality that was informed almost entirely by popular culture.

Situation: There are 14 competing streaming platforms.

Ridiculous! We need one streaming platform for all the media licenses.

Microsoft buys Minecraft; forces users to migrate to Microsoft accounts; after ~3 years all non-migrated accounts are deleted. In contrast, if you have a pre-Google youtube account, you can still migrate that 17 year old account.

Mojang Minecraft accounts were paid for, but Microsoft deleted them if they didn't migrate after those three years. Many people who had "bought" the game weren't able to access multiplayer any more after serving in the military, getting out of prison, etc.

He argues that buying a videogame doesn't mean you actually own; however, in my view since you can still play offline, you can.

Are there like hobby Minecraft servers not related to Microsoft? I'm thinking like the Library map and such.

*I feel I must add that I've never played Minecraft.

Toyota, and Japan as a whole, are in a tricky situation with their electric grid. It's been developed separately by nine different companies in each region; the southern regions use 60 Hz supply cycles, where-as the northern regions (including Tokyo Electric) use 50 Hz. Add to this the populations reluctance for nuclear power after Fukushima, and you get a very fragile supply grid with limited capacity. Toyota is gunning hard for Hydrogen because Japan itself can't support EVs and for some reason it doesn't want to/can't manufacture both.

How about some advanced biology where you take into account each individuals hormone production levels, types of hormones produced, amount of receptors for each hormone and probably a bunch of other stuff that I don't know about.

Yan allegedly clenched and unclenched rhythmically to communicate information about the chess board via code to a computer, which then sent back instructions on what moves to make in the form of vibrations

Wow.

there's some confusion over FIDE's dress code.

Vague rules definitely serve a purpose.
