NT was a fully seperate product from 95 and 98, using a different kernel. 95 -> 98 -> Me was the old kernel, NT -> 2000 -> XP -> Vista -> 7 -> 8 -> 10 -> 11 is the other line. Me was a play on Millenium Edition, so that line was just numbered by year. The NT series names are a bit wonky, though. The reason for skipping 9 involves legacy program support and bad coding practices from ye olde programmers. 7 was kind of an arbitrary number to begin with, though.

Dude, a massive chunk of this website is in favor of complete legalization. While I am also assuming their position on drugs, given where we’re at, my assumption is much more likely to be correct.

Honestly, the mouse charger screams marketing or management. Apple’s brand is partially form over function.

Technically, I think the base counts as US territory as far as citizenship-from-birth goes, but I could be wrong.

The big one for people born abroad is if one of their parents is a citizen at the time of their birth. If you’re an American citizen, go to France for college, and have a kid with a French citizen while you’re there, the kid will have both American and French citizenship.

And then you have horses, which originated there, migrated to Eurasia, went extinct in the Americas, and then were reintrouduced thousands of years later.

Y not?

You seriously underestimate how poorly documented the non-Christian religions were.

I think back in 2016 a lot of his supporters didn’t feel comfortable telling people they wanted to vote for him, even with anonymous polls. Trump supporters are much more open and vocal now.

This is, in fact, what makes Portland’s annual naked bike ride event possible.

Unless it’s a 24 hour clock.

That Civilization 6 uses geological continents when the ‘continent’ key word is used where every other game in the series uses geographical continents for that key word still bugs me.

Brain and brain. What is brain?

The pro upped the storage to 2TB, but I really feel like when the PS5 launched we were at the point where they should have shipped with 4TB drives.

Most non-non-heinous.

Should have practiced kynodesme, like the ancient Olympic athletes.

Do you have tips for someone used to newer Civ games? I know I played Civ2 as a kid, which should be similar, but I only remember back to 3 and only clearly back to 4. I tried AC and had difficulty just figuring out basic controls.

That varies a huge amount. It’s not a genre, just a medium, and like any medium there are a wide variety of genres made with it. Studio Ghibli tends to make surprisingly thought provoking children’s movies, often without real villains. Cowboy Bebop is a hard sci-fi show in a constructed world with a jazzy sound track, and was probably the inspiration for Firefly. Ghost in the Shell is the ancestor of all modern cyberpunk, but with the quirk of being from the (still sympathetic) perspective of government counter-terrorism agents. GitS also tends to be heavily philosophical. You’ve got slice-of-life feel-good shows like Azumanga Daioh and K-On. There are children’s and teen’s shows about saving the world, and brutal deconstructions of those shows aimed at adults; Sailer Moon -> Madoka, Getter Robo -> Gundam -> Evangelion (second round of deconstruction went hard), etc. Then you have the genre-busting quirky stuff, like Haruhi Suzumiya (which is fairly sane) or Kill la Kill (which is decidedly not).

There’s probably something out there in that space that you’d love, but it’s a good idea to start from a genre you already like and look at that rather than just going with whatever show is big right now. The stuff that got really big in the US, like Naruto or One Piece, isn’t generally my thing, and that’s probably what you’ve run into. If you want to try a movie, check out Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, Akira, and the first Ghost in the Shell movie. If you want to jump straight to a series, Cowboy Bebop, Haruhi Suzumiya, Last Exile, Death Note, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, Darker than Black, Serial Experiments Lain, Attack on Titan, and Spice & Wolf are all good without being too out-there.

When you’re fighting human, sure, but our mane probably evolved before we were our own greatest predator.

I want them to launch a Deck v2, Controller v2, and a new take on the Steam Machine simultaneously with a goal of knocking Xbox out of the market and replacing them as the third console. A new Steam Machine right now would play all of Xbox’s exclusives on day one and some of Sony’s.

So you can send the robot back in time, obviously.
