It was pretty quick, just 639 to 642. The western half of the Roman Empire had already collapsed and the eastern half wasn’t doing much better.

I want Villeneuve to adapt God Emperor just to have the slight possibility of McAvoy reprising his role as Leto.

Nobody ever gave the Atreides and Harkonen their book colors, either. But I’d say the 1984 Feyd-Rautha has red hair.

The ‘printer of fire’ error used to be a legitimate and important concern. Ye olde printers really could light their paper on fire under certain circumstances and they would typically be huge devices in dedicated rooms rather than something right next to your system. Letting people know to check on it when specific things went wrong probably saved a few buildings from burning down with people in them.

Not really an English thing so much as a math thing that makes too much sense to not use elsewhere. For instance, in math you might have x[3 - 7{3y + (a * b)}]. I haven’t actually seen them go deeper than three sets, though, so I’m not sure what would be next.

Or he could have used brackets.

I’m hoping that advances in 3D printers will make this a reality in my lifetime.

Given that it was made by a different company, doing anything with it may actually be legally complicated.

That reminds me of how shipping hard drives full of data is technically faster than downloading over the internet. Technically true, but almost always a poor choice in practice.

Caesar was like that, too. Citizens couldn’t pathfind if their life depended on it, and it sometimes did.

Every update breaks F4SE. Same with SKSE. Just wait a few days and it’ll be fine.

Looks like Lady Gaga randomly popped up to boost Lisa’s spirits when she became literally the least popular person at school.

By going after the encryption and decryption part rather than the hardware and software emulation part. And having a massive amount of money to spend on lawyers.

You can play online and there are tons of free apps, but it used to be that someone had to purchase a set to be able to share it with their friends. Though since making copies would have been difficult I guess it would have been more like Mario Party than the first nine levels of Doom.

Chess is free to play now, but for centuries it was more like shareware.

TLOK does depict a railway network having been set up through the Earth Kingdom after the war. The Earth Kingdom as a whole is still very far behind in industrialization, though.

Seriously, the Fire Nation had mass produced internal combustion engines in ATLA. They put them in their mass produced tanks. Not to mention the fleet of ships with smokestacks indicating they probably had either diesel or steam powered ships. The Earth Kingdom and Water Tribes are both still in the process of industrializing, but the Fire Nation was already pretty much there, and the United Republic is primarily a Fire Nation breakaway state.

I mean, not really. They’re at the ‘lunatics running the asylum’ stage. They underestimated how much they had radicalized their base and completely lost control of them in 2016. Now, that radicalized base is starting to be elected into office and the old guard are too afraid to try to take control of the party back.

Is it bad that I kind of like the rotary phone input?
