afterburner

No listing for Wargames?

This may eventually work after a long effort, but in the meantime, the person with the fascist thoughts will be deriving social support from you not having cut them off. "Haha, I love fascism, and Bill still likes me and hangs out with me, so I guess I'm good!"

Don't let the people in your life casually get away with promoting fascism. Punish them socially.

It was only good as a way for the British to get into the north for fur trade, since the French controlled Canada/New France (and the St Lawrence/Great Lakes waterways)

Did he ask them?

Ten years might not be long enough for long term damage to make itself known. In fact, most of the time, it's nowhere near long enough.

However, the cardio should help. With overall health that is, not whatever blown knee or hip or whatever he'll have to deal with later.

Soviet support? More like Soviet control.

If you watch it all the way to the end (or skip towards the end if you like), she does mention this legacy is a result of exaggerated stories not even written down by him, but related second hand by people around him with their own attitudes (and financial inventives). He was probably not an angel, even a bit of a cocky dick maybe sometimes in the way of the times, and perhaps a bit vain, but stories related second hand when he was probably joking around don't necessarily represent the true history of his life.

She has good things to say about him in the end, from the evidence of his actual behaviour, like doing education outreach and loving his wife.

That's fine.

I would also argue self-marketing is important when you have lazy or bad managers.

It's just self-marketing. Nothing new.

I thought it was a drag having to schlep around town for a point and click game.

They were also easy souvenirs to hoard.

Syria's allies have been spending the last year getting thrashed. (Russia, Iran, Hizbollah)

Most Managers Are Bad, Part 32678

I'm referring to them being the tip of the spear, but yes, you are not wrong.

I thought the whole point of the Marines was to cause maximal amounts of damage.

I thought their point was to expose themselves to maximal amounts of damage.

Yes. I find it amusing I sparked a debate on what might be beyond the observable universe, when my point was entirely about what you could theoretically observe in the night sky.

Not melt, soften slightly

Number of stars in the Milky Way: 100 billion

Number of galaxies in the universe: 200 billion to 2,000 billion

I guess the lesson is, never give up a domain.

McDonald's greatest strength is consistency.

That said, bottled coke bought in bulk, the right amount of ice, and some straws would do it.

On the other hand, keeping it a drive away maybe keeps her from over-indulging.

Basically ad copy.

Indeed! Googling "shogi learning set" finds these sets.

Do you associate doing fun stuff with drinking?

Weird, I don't feel nearly as touchy about some ones and zeros on a computer as I do my physical body's safety, without which I would not exist.

What do you consider the successor to Atom and Sublime today?

Unless the technology becomes obsolete. There are other ways to generate power.

Yes his death was extremely fitting.

He did get lead poisoning at least twice according to wikipedia, before and after the demonstration, requiring vacations to recuperate.

In 1924 the inventor of the lead additive for gasoline, Thomas Midgley Jr., poured the additive over his hands and inhaled its vapors for a minute, as a demonstration at a press conference. He knew it was poisonous though.

Seems like such demonstrations, even just describing it, were de riguer in the wild west era of industrial chemical innovation.

Fun fact, Thomas Midgley Jr. also invented CFCs.

There's at least one ETF that tracks the top 50.
