Maybe one day enough younger people will be in elected that understand computers aren’t magic. There’s no fundamental difference between selling a DVD and a digital movie, from a legal perspective.

No. Military service in place of prison isn’t elective, you still need the state to allow it. Even then you would be completely free, you likely wouldn’t get leave for a while, and a discharge could put you into prison.

No one cares about genocide. At least not in significant numbers.

Majesty.

It’s a strategy simulation game, a bit like an RTS, but you can’t directly control units.

Instead all units follow general archetypes. Rogues generally won’t spontaneously help you but will do most anything for money. Warriors will seek out monsters and lairs that have been discovered. Rangers will explore the map. Units will also do things like buying potions or upgraded equipment based on their class and intelligence.

As the player you choose what buildings to place and can offer rewards for exploring an area or killing something.

There was a sequel, but it’s a significantly worse game than the original.

This has one of the best boards in my collection.

But think of your sense of accomplishment in getting the legendary ending.

Confusion plus a pokemon that flipped coins was awful. Nothing like dieing while dealing no damage.

The real power of the NRA is their membership is mostly reliable voters.

Less than you would think, but it also depends on how you contact them. A physical call is way more powerful than an email. 10 people passionate enough to call can easily translate to 1k people passionate enough to vote about it.

Lease has a specific term, generally long. Rent implies short term or indefinite length.

That advice seems like a red flag. There are way more options to diversify investments in an IRA than a 401k, you can also invest in the same funds through an IRA that are available to your 401k. Either way you end up paying fees to someone as well.

That’s a similar but different concept. Blockchain adds a way to determine consensus of the correct tree. While git is distributed, it’s generally not trustless, there’s generally a trusted version of the repository.

Yep. I just always put money in my 401k, I don’t know what a paycheck without 15% going to retirement looks like. I’ve still got at least 30 years to go.

It’s an unrated cut.

After Harley there’s not much point in worrying about crazy.

Lio Partagaz the ISB leader in Andor. He is an amazing example of the extreme competency of the empire, and why they should be feared. If the empire was full of the bumbling idiots depicted in most of the media, they wouldn’t be an empire.

There’s nothing worse than hearing a recording of your voice though.

Blockchain is a solution in search of a problem. A way to establish trust while not trusting any party is a cool concept, but in the real world it’s far easier to establish a source of trust.

If you want to be a bit pedantic the and is incorrect for a year. When you say a number the and should be to denote a decimal portion of a number. It’s generally not always used that way so context is often required to determine the intent.

Ironically the US is one of the easier countries to immigrate to.
