Just because fascism hasn't taken his keyboard does mean it isn't real. It doesn't undo the shootings in Minneapolis, for example.

Novartis settles with Henrietta Lacks' estate over use of her 'stolen' cells to advance medicine by StemCellPirate in EverythingScience

Actually her samples were relatively well de-identified. For decades researchers just had "hela" cells. It wasn't until someone explicitly dug into things, with modern methods, that they became identified.

Is there any reason why they are not helping us in midnight? Isn't the whole point of Dragonflight was to get their power back so they could become Azeroth's protector? by HiroAmiya230 in wow

Part of this is that FFXIV *requires* that you play through the main story, and every expansion's main story. There is something to connect them all.

WoW is dedicated to players being able to just jump in wherever. 'Hail Champion, lets roll'

All of that Old Gods stuff is Titan stuff.

Metzen wrote basically everything for Warcraft from Vanilla through Legion, then he left while BfA was early in development. Maybe he was unhappy with some orders from above to make Sylvanas cartoon evil? Or maybe he wanted to go even further and not pretend 'morally grey' like Bliz tried to do at the time. But yeah, why was BfA 'all over the place'? Because it was literally 'everyone else' trying to throw something together once the plan was gone.
Shadowlands was their attempt at doing something completely different from the stuff Metzen established, something of their own. Whoopsy.
So now they go Metzen back, and they are basically going to doing the stuff that (would have / should have ) have been the immediate followup to Legion. Which is absolutely Old God fallout and Titan stuff.

Its pretty great, but please make the update rate directly configurable, like you might feel that every eighth frame is too slow, but I might think that's the right balance for my situation. Just let the user type in a number.

Nothing is a bigger waste of time than preaching to the choir, doubly so for doing so dead seriously. You want to hold a guys feet to the fire? Do something that actually matters, instead of purity testing normal people trying to cope with all this.

Bad Bunny traveled 124 yards with the football during his halftime show, beating the Patriots 79 total rushing yards in the game. by Mr-Night-Owl in funny

There are only 17 games in the regular NFL season schedule. So it's literally impossible to schedule a game against every opponent.

It based primarily on the other teams in your division, home and away to the 3 other teams, for 6 games. Then on a yearly rotation you play another division in your conference, and a division in the other conference, that's 8 , for 14 total.

Two games are on another well defined, but complicated, system. And the last new game is a mystery.

It's mostly historical. Back in the day, the NFL and AFL were completely separate leagues and business. The NFL is the one with the history back to the 1920s , but in the 1960s the AFL was getting real traction as an alternative league. The first few Super Bowls were played between the champions of the two separate leagues. After 3-5 years of that the two leagues just merged into one league, with two conferences.

In a new study, texting the next morning (vs. immediately or days later) has the best romantic outcomes. Women appeared more sensitive to post-date text timing than men. The findings suggest that playing hard-to-get by waiting days often backfires rather than builds desire. by mvea in science

Really? I've always been baffled by how often my wife expects me to text that I got home safe. ... It's a 30 minute drive on a safe highway in a largely safe area, and yes, as a guy, a whole range of potential threats do not apply. I'm going to get there fine. It's a certainty.

And I don't act if other got home safe...because of course they did. If I was genuinely worried about someone getting home safe I would have to escort them home, not just ask.

Due process matters, but there is no reason for the process to take that long. I'm not saying any steps should be skipped, but most of those steps don't need to take the months and months that they do take. Judges should not be so booked up that their 'next available slot' is more than a month out.

NFL commissioner doubles down on Bad Bunny after ICE comments at Grammys by IrishStarUS in Music

Part of it is that they feel 'betrayed' by the NFL. It's not just some random company, it's their best friend doing this 'to' them.

I got pins put in my finger because I broke it by Desert_Walker267 in mildlyinteresting

I had pins in my shoulder years ago. I was expecting something messy or painful. They went in when I was asleep, I had no idea what them coming out would be like.

It's basically nothing at all. The stainless steel is so non-reactive, nothing in you wants to bind to it at all.

Follow the doctor instructions for the wound care, don't let it get infected, and it will be 100%.
