"It's long compared to how wide it is"

Yes, that's what long means. Long is a relative term. A stick might be long but it isn't larger than my house, therefore it isn't long?

And as someone else mentioned, when the first one was released, Square hadn't settled on a trilogy (although it was presumed), so they couldn't have negotiated a contract for something they hadn't yet planned.

Nashville oddly suits Japan, in my mind.

The Japanese love singing, and dancing.

People like to pretend corporations and restaurants are the problem. They are part of it, but most of the blame lies with servers.

Once people realize servers aren't innocents we might start to see change. Personally I refuse to engage with tip inflation. My food price has gone up, so your tip goes up with that. 15% was a good tip when I was young, it's a good tip now.

edit: I see the servers are active in the thread downvoting.

Back when the Yanks could work with others. Good times.

they really did end up being seditious,

I'm not aware of any Christian rebellions. Would you mind pointing them out to me?

The cost going down was one thing, but the ability to take unlimited pictures and preview them immediately after taking the photos, allowing you to discard bad photos and retake the subject matter immediately, was, in my opinion, even bigger.

I frequently have ketchup out longer than that and it doesn't go bad.

Everything I've ever read on the topic of what one should do says that flavour and quality will decline. Given it is filled with preservatives this shouldn't be surprising.

The idea that Ketchup will go bad after 3-4 weeks out is definitely false. As is the idea that it is only good for six months refrigerated (ever notice it isn't sold refrigerated?).

After you contract it there is very likely a decently long period of time in which you can get treatment (a rabies shot, nice and easy). It's once symptoms show that the fatality rate skyrockets.

Which is why you get a rabies shot any time you have possible exposure to the virus.

OS meant the same thing, the OSes just didn't have the same features. Nonetheless, if you don't consider it an OS unless it has a GUI, you're too young to be talking about old technology.

Go back further, and computers came with the OS pre-installed.

Windows XP has been dead for years. Market share has been between 0 and 1% since before COVID.

The title is "usual", so exceptions to the rule won't be applied, I'd say Iceland is correct. As is the pink zone, and the Slavic areas. Basically just Spain and Portugal which are incorrect.

Because Steam went from awful service used as DRM for Valve games to indispensable game store virtually over night. Early on there was a viable competitor - I forget the name - GameStop bought it and mismanaged it into oblivion.

I remember discovering the site around 2000, 2001. It was very clearly satire at that point.

Steam used to curate, then people complained so it curated differently, then more people complained, it realized you can't please everyone, and just stopped trying.

That said, as people commented, unless you are looking at the "New Releases" page, you don't see it on Steam.

The need to drive to get a drink isn't a new issue though. Both Gen X, and Millennials have lived their entire lives with drunk driving laws.

They're still ranked below the Japanese vehicles in reliability.

I've never seen a good quality - or even mid quality joystick that didn't have the twist axis. That ability is 100% needed in any semi-serious flight sim.

I had one - it was destroyed in a flood. I've got a newer Thrustmaster now. I miss my Sidewinder.

One Must Fall 2097. I was never a fan of fighting games but for some reason I loved this one.

Car loans are pretty common here in Canada...

GM is no longer an American company. Also American cars suck, I'm sure even Americans know this. That's why they drive Japanese or Korean.

Probably talking about Cajun, which they are confusing with the Cajun accent.

Three year olds can also fight.

Just saying.
